A NEW BRANCH.
One to Be Built to Springfield BIZ New
England and Reading Co.

England and Reading Co.
New York, Jan. 13.-The directors OF
the newly organized New England and
Reading Company met today and elect
ed John w. Brock Of Philadelphia pres
ident, j. K. o. Sherwood of New York,
formerly receiver Of the road, treas
urer and c. A. Fellner of Philadelphia
secretary. The company expects to
build the new branch to Springfield,
Mass, at once.
The fact that Chester w. Chaplin, for
whom the controlling interest in the re-
organized road was bought, is a near
relative of President Bliss of the Bos-
ton and Albany, and that James A.
Runlrill of Springfield, one Of the di-
rectors Of the new company, is in the
directorate of the Boston and Albany
has led to the conjecture that the
Poughkeepsie bridge system may form
the connecting link of a system between
Boston and Philadelphia.
When asked if the Boston and AL
bany railroad was Interested in the
new company, President Brock said.
THE newspapers have sold the old
road to three or four different interests
in the last few days, but in point of
fact the New England railroad is sim

IN SAMOA.
Civil War Narrowly Avert
ed--Crisis Acute.

San Francisco, Jan. ia letter re-
ceived by the Associated Press from
its Samoan correspondent, shows an
alarming state of affairs when the
steamer Mariposa left Apia for this
city. The letter is dated December 2S.
The Letter may be summarized as fol-
lows: Events have moved very rapid
ly since the last mail left here Civil
war has been narrowly avoided and
for the first time in Samoan history
the lives of white residents have been
threatened by the natives. Even blood
she, is not improbable.
Inc whole trouble has arisen through
the injudicious action of the three
treaty powers in bringing the deportec
Mataafa back to Samoa BY so doing
they have thrown down q bone of cor
tention and converted what otherwise
might have been peaceful election in
to an angry combat
The trouble began Immediately upon
the arrival of Mataafas return from
Jaluit. Though he was held nominally
as a prisoner, he was given permission
to reside on the royal demesne and to
take such Of his adherents as he choes
with him. The followers of Malietoa
were driven out. The latter observed
the proclamation that peace should be
observed at all hazards.
The usurpers of Mullinnuu were ag-
gressive, however, and issued a proc
lamation, declaring Mataafa king of
Samoa. The climax of the proceedings
came when Mataafa and his chiefs ac-
tually discharged the chief justice
Such action was purely farcical, and
the chief justice notified Mataafa that
he must wait for the decision of the
court before he could legally declare
himself king.
The most serious element in the
whole affair is the disagreement among
the consuls. The German consul has
been playing a double game with his
colleagues, and the English and Amer
lean officials naturally are Indignant
The Germans, through the royal cleo
ton, have been working in favor Of
Mataafa, and the latter have been
stirred to aggressiveness.
Chief Justice Chambers commenced
his examination into the merits Of the
rival candidates, Dec. 10. in the pres
ence of a great crowd of natives
The trial is expected to close about
the end of December, and there may be
more trouble. Mataafa's people threat
en- that if the decision is against them,
they will attack the town. No alarm
is felt however, because Mataafa has
only about 1900 armed adherents, while
Malietoa, who is quite ready to meet
them, has over 5000 resolute followers.
American citizens greatly regret that
no American man-of-war has arrived.
The display Of the stars and stripes at
this juncture would have added i'm
mensely to the national prestige, and
at the same time would have strength
ened the hands of the American con-
sui. At present Mr.. Osborne is power
less to effect anything If violence is
threatened If American life or prop
erty is endangered ne can only appeal
for aid to the British man-of-war.

GEN. WOOD TEsTIFIEs.
He Praises the Causes of the Much
Talked-of Beef.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Gen. Leonard
wood, was the star witness before the
war investigating commission today.
His testimony bore one general condi-
IONS in Cuba, and opened with the gem
eral statement that never in the history
OF the country had there been so sue
cessrul campaign with so small loss
of life.
lie praised the quality of the much
talked of beef furnished the army. and
said that except for some cans that
were tainted, and consequently thrown
away, the beef was of good quality,
and he himself had used the meat both
IN the war and in his own family.
He said there was no cause for com
paint because of the congested situa-
Ilon az tampa just previous to the en-
barking OF Skaters army Gen. Wood
remarked that there was no complaint
mace OF conditions during the cam
palgn from anybody who amounted to
anything.
The commission held no afternoon
session. 1t is now expected that the
taxing Of testimony, except that of
surgeon DAILY, the author of the most
vigorous report on chemical beef
treatment" submitted by Gen. Miles to
the commission, will be concluded by
the middle of next week. DR.. DAILY is
Ill, and his testimony will be taken la
ter. No suggestion has yet been made
that Gen. Miles be recalled as a Sc
quence Of the bitter attack made upon
him yesterday, nor is such step like
ly, though assurance was given today
that the commission will hear him
should he ask to be heard.
1t was stated today as very likely
that the commission will have framed
and completed its report and concluded
its investigation in about a fortnight
from next Monday.
