NEW ORLEANS, March 1.-The soldiers
Of fortune from Kansas City reached New
Orleans to-day, n2 strong. and are now
quartered here pending further developments
in the way of transportation TO Nicaragua

NO CHANGE IN SAMOA
AFFAIRS STILL IN A VERY UNSATIS-
FACTORY CONDITION.
Provisional Government Interfering
Property of a Brave Chief Stolen.

SYDNEY. ". S. w. March 1.-Advices re-
ceived here from Apia, Samoa, under date
of Feb. II, say that affairs are still unsatis
factory. The provisional government. it ap
pears, is interfering with native and British
subjects and also with the servants of
British subjects. and is taxing the MaIietoa
people 81 and the Mataafa people 81 each.
DR.. Raffel, the German president of the
municipal council at Apia, at the instigation
of the British consul, has apologized for
boycotting the British third-cIass cruiser
Porpoise and for insulting the chief justice
and Malicious lawyer while they were
guests on board the Porpoise. A landing
party from the Porpoise, ready with ma
chine guns. was. therefore. not sent ashore,
though n plan to make an attack on
Mulinuu had been all arranged.
Several of the Mataafas have died of their
wounds. including one woman who was shot
in the breast.
There is much Indignation at the act OF
the provisional government in keeping In
| exile prisoners whose only offense is loyalty
The house of Chief Suamanu, whose bravery
i'm saving life during the historical hur-
ricane was rewarded by the Americans
with the present of a whale boat, has been
| burned and looted and the whale boat has
been stolen. Suamanu is still in exile.
The German consul continues to protect
| the Germans from the jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court.
DR.. Raffel has been ~adjudged guilty OF

WASHINGTON, March Ito carry out
the Presidents promise relative to the pro-
lection of German residents and property
in the Philippines a cable dispatch has been
sent to Admiral Dewey and one to General
Otis ~instructing them on that point. The
published statement in certain newspapers
tina the German proposition included the
extension of the protection of the United
States over German interests in the Samoan
group, il is said at the State Department,
is erroneous. The German ambassadors
proposition touched only the Philippines.
The treaty of Berlin imposes on the three
treaty powers which undertook the govern
ment of Samoa the duty of maintaining one
or more war ships there at intervals, and
the protocols TO the treaty show that no
matter what might be the nationality of the
vessel that happens to be on the station,
in the event of trouble she was to protect
the interests of all three treaty powers with
out discrimination. That was the position
taken by Captain Sturdy. of the British
cruiser Porpoise when he came 10 the as
sistance of the American chief justice at
Apia during the recent disturbances. He
held that the treaty required him TO protect
any nationality. If the German cruiser
Fake leaves Apia any British or American
war vessel that might happen to be there
afterward. either the Porpoise or the Phila-
elphia, would be under treaty obligation to
protect German subjects and interests.
