THE SAMOAN TROUBLE.
4 H.ew Phase and One Likely to Bring
About Adjustment on Entirely
New Grounds.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Samoan
trouble is assuming a somewhat new
phase, according to the view of leading
diplomatic authorities, and n likely
to bring about adjustment on lines
not heretofore contemplated. This is
in part foreshadowed in the official
statement of the parliamentary secre-
tary in the house of Thurs
day to the effect that further informa-
ton would be awaited before consider
ing the recognition of Mataafa as king
of Samoa. Mataafa is not the claim
ant who has thus far received the sup
port of the British and American au-
thorities, as they have upheld Malietoa
Tanus. who had been declared by Chief
Justice Chambers, an American, as
r%ightfully entitled to the throne.
While the announcement in the housc
of commons Is open to various inter-
pretations, yet it seems to imply quite
clearly that the recongitionof Mataafa,
who was upheld by the Germans. may
be taken into consideration.

THE LATEST FROM MANILA.
yen. Otis Report-Filipino ~Ponies-Trust
Ing Everything to Gen. Otis-No
News from Iloilo.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Up to the
close of Office hours yesterday Gen.
Otis sent no news to The war depart
ment indicating any further conflicts
with the natives. He had a few casual
ties to report, these in answer to III
%uuiries from anxious friends OF lndl
vidual soldiers, and he rave notice to
the department that he had been
obliged to buy 4 large number OF
horses to supply the transportation
needed. owing to the frightening OF
the American line. These horses, So
called, are really the little native
ponies. which. it is said at the war de-
partment. have been found to be the
pest animals for pack and draught
purposes that be secured. Some big
American horses have been taken tothc
Islands by the troops, but they have
taken sick and died, and altogether
have proven to be wholly unfit for the
climate. On the other hand, Gen. Otis
reported that he has mounted several
troops of cavalry on the little native
ponies with good results.
The same state of affairs still holds
good, with respect to the instruction
of Gen. Otis. Secretary Alger said yes
terday afternoon that he had not sent
any instructions since the beginning
of hostilities and would send none
He fully expects that Otis will make no
terms with Aguinaldo, while the lat
ter is armed. and that n condition pre-
cedent to dealing with him at all is
the return of the insurgents to thei:
homes and the surrender of their arms,
Certainly Gen. Otis is not expected 10
take any action that will amount ia
the recognition of the insurgents as I
foe to be treated with On the basis OF
an independent nation.
There was also an absence of news
from IloilC.

There is a feeling of intense salts

tIatiOn officials as are aware of this
battle. Considerable apprehension
has existed. net, however, as to the
ability of the americans to take the
place when they decided upon this
step. but as to the loss OF life which
this might incur. The tension be-
tween the opposing forces at lloilo has
been for some time at the danger
point. ard Il collision between them at
any time would not have been surprIs-

the troops attemptedto land they were
notified by the insurgents that such a
course would p~recipitate a battle, and
Gen. Miller. under his instructions to
pursue Il ~conciliatory course held his
men aboard the transports. The men
became tired of this. and about two
weeks ago the Fifty-first Iowa regi-
ment was sent back to Manila, and
the First Tennessee was sent to 1loilc
to replace it. As 20 as the latter ar
rived il is believed Gen. Miller decided
to force a landing. The desire of the
administration has been that the ma
tives should submit to the American
demands and avoid a forced fight. but
it appears that up to the last moment
they could not be so persuaded.
