SOVEREIGNTY OF THE ISLANDS

Honolulu March 81, via San Francisco. April
7 (SpeciaD.-Germany has been left behind in
the contest for sovereignty Of the Tonga group.
For years she has schemed to get control OF
these islands which include the best harbor in
the South Pacific, with the single exception Of
Papeete The British man-of- war Tauranga
which arrived at Apia the day the Mariposa
sailed from there. had pust arrived from
Nukualofa, Tonga. where her captain completed
the purchase of the group from the Tongan
Government. and had received the formal trans
fer and raised the British flag
About three months ago the German Vice
Consul at Samoa arrived at Tonga and made a
demand on the Government for $4,000 for
debts contracted b. Tongans with German
traders Many OF these debts are OF twenty
years standing and were repudiated by the
Tongan Government. When Vice-Consul Grune
could obtain money he departed with
threat that a German man-of-war would ar
rive within few months and seize Vou-VOu,
the best harbor in the group. King George at
once communicated with sydney and the Tau
ranga was rushed for Tonga. She arrived In
the early part Of December Her captain had
an interview with the King. and after three
hours conference 1t was announced that the
sovereignty Of the group had been transferred
to England, and that the Tongan Government
would remain a dependency Of the British
Crown. The Tauranga took with her t2JW"
which was turned over to King George The
next day the British flag raised with much
ceremony. England guarantees peace and or
der in the islands and secures fxity Of tenure
Of land and additional rights 10 foreigners set
Ting in the group
When the German man-of-war promised by
the Vice-Consu arrives she will find the British
flag flying. but will get the money that is
asked, as England acknowledges the Valldlty
of all claims and will pay them.

THE POOLROOM LIST
The Tribune has from time to time stated
that many poolrooms, gambling houses and
other illegal resorts have been running so openly

that they feel confident that no interference will
come from the police. They have been operated
with a boldness and openness which were un-
heard OF in the course of Mayor Strongs ad-
ministration. Recently thorough nvestiga-
tion has been made by certain responsible per-
sons. and long list of places has been compiled.
1t is possible that this evidence may be brought
before the Mazet committee 1t is also known
that poolrOoms were obliged to pay an assess
