SAMOAN REPORTS
British Commissioner Reaches Wash.
 ington and Will Have Conference

Washington, September 22.-The British commissioner to Samoa, C. N. E. Elliott, has arrived here after an extended tour, following the work of the Samoan comnnis- sion at Apia. MT.

 Secretary Hay is expected back shortly, however, and a that time Gne British com missioner probably will take up the Sa- moan affairs with him.

AMERICANS IN NO DANGER
They Will Not be Impressed Into the
 Boer Army

Washington, September 22.-No American citizen in the Transvaal republic stands in danger of impressment into the Boer army, in the opinion of the state department, and despite many appeals that have been re- ceived from private sources to protect our citizens from such mpressment, it is not regarded as necessary to change in any manner the well-established policy of the department in dealing with such subjects.
 It is possible for an American to lose his United States citizenship by long residence in the Transvaal, by centralizlng his entire business there. by failure to clearly estab- fish his intention to return to the United States, and in other ways. In such cases the state department cannot demand the exemption, and it is conceivable that there are a number of individuals in this status in the Transvaal. But all actual American citizens remain fully protected, and all of their exemptions will be upheld by the United States government

HOWISON MAY
 SPOIL THE PLANS Sampson's Superior Headed for the Dewey Reception. THE NEWS CAUSES AFLURRY The Navy Department Had Planned to Have Its Favorite Absorb All Sss the Unclaimed Honors at
 the Celebration.
THE NEWS CAUSES AFLURRY

New York, September 22--A special from Washington says:
 "A dispatch received at the navy depart ment from Rear Admiral Howison is wor- rying the officials there.
 Admiral Howison, entirely unconscious of the consternation his news will carry to those who have been asserting that he will not go to New York until after the recep- ton to Admiral Dewey, announces in this message that he has left Barbadoes on the Chicago for New York. This is the last thing that the friends of Admiral Sampson wanted. Everything has been arranged to have Sampson in his capacity as the hero and victor of Santiago greet his brother hero of Manila.
 Admiral Schley will be in New York al that time, but in no official capacity. He will be there simply because as an Ameri- can citizen he has the inalcnable right to stand on the sidewalk and see Dewey go by.
 'Nothing has occurred to mar the spec tacle of one hero greeting another and well coming him home until this dsquieting news was received from Howison.
 "Howison is Sampson's senior and if he gets there before the celebration he will rank that officer and take command. The naval regulations require it. Howison is simply an an old friend of Dewey and would like to be on hand when his friend has his triumph.
 "The navy department officials have pointed, whenever this danger was sug- gested to Howisons itinerary, which calls for his arrival on October ,, and have cop- idently proclaimed he will not get there before then, notwithstanding the fact that Howison has been ahead of his schedule right along. They are now busy engaged in figuring out that he cannot get to Tomp- kinsvi1e in less than eight days but others think he can do it easily in seven"

 q have telegraphed General Roe that if the matter is one purely for the city au- thorities, and in which I have no power, then, of course, 1 withdraw my former telegram. I had understood that General Roe was acting as major-general of the national guard in the management of the parade, and in that event l had the power to direct that the veterans be given the right of line, and accordingly did it.
