OUR SAILORS KILLED IN SAMOA.
Admiral kautz Makes Report Con
cerning the Battle.

Washington. May 15.-Secretary Long
to-day made public SO much of Il recent
report from Admiral Kautz upon Sa-
moan affairs us touches the killing of il
number of American sailors by the Ma
taafa adherents near Apia, on the first
of April.
The report is an elaboration of the de-
scription of the affair which was cabled
at the time by the Associated Press
from Auckland. No mention is made at
any point of the reported participation
in the affray of the German, Hufnagl,
the manager of the plantation where the
fight occurred. 1t is known that the
failure of the Colt gun to work proper
ly was in large measure the cause of
the American and British defeat
Admiral Kautz says the expedition was
projected by Captain Sturdee, of the
Porpoise For several nights preceding
the sentres had been fired upon by the
natives and it became necessary to drive
the aggressOrs away. Admiral KautZ
says that it was the opinion of all the
officers who had the matter in charge
that the force was ample to do the work
without risk, especially as it was to
move out along the beach and return the
same way, under the protection of the
guns of III. Nj. S. Royalist. 1t is safe
to say, says the AdmYal, that after
Lieutenants Freeman and Lansdale had
conferred together, they did what they
deemed best under the circumstances and
the disaster that followed could not be
foreseen.

the Spanish garrison of Zamboanga
with United States troops. This gar
rison was recently attacked by native

indications are that a comparatively
small force will suffice, provided that
it is supported by one or two gun

est strategic Importance. being the
capital of the Island of Mindanao. the
second largest in the Philippine group,
and good seaport.
The town is easily defensible with a
small artillery force. The fact that
the insurgents are in possession of
rapid fire guns makes the situation
at Zamboanga more serious. but it is
not believed here that they have a
large supply of the ammunition neces-

will consequently soon become useless
