by Sanguilly Portuondo and Aguerro, all
and repeating the charges made against
him on Saturday. The general effect of their
utterances was justification Of Saturday S

acting solely with a view of obtaining rec

soldiers. All the speakers deplOred ANY

General Sanguilly said that Gomez had

Senior .Aguerro said that Gomez never

THE SAMOAN TROUBLE
FIRST STEP TOWARDS A SETTLE
MENT OF THE DISPUTE.
DR.. Wilhelm soIf, 4 German, Accepted
as President of the Municipal
Council at Apia.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-After numer-
Gus conferences and the exchange of notes
between Secretary Hay. the British ambas-
sador and the German ambassador, a sat
isfactory understanding has been reached
between the three powers interested in Sa-
moa as to the conditions there. This seeks
to open new account in the affairs of Sa-
inca, and TO obliterate the troubles among
officials which have recently occurred there.
To this end DR.. Wilhelm Solf, who has been
nominated by Germany as president of the
municipal council at Apia. to succeed DR..
Raffel, will be recognized by the British and
United States authorities Already this rec
ognition is assured, but it remains for the
consuls at Apia to carry it into formal et-
feet in accordance with the letter of the
treaty OF Berlin. In order that this may
pave the way to an agreeable and harmon
ious adjustment, DR.. Solf will go to Lon
don and make himself acquainted with the
authorities there and afterwards come 10
Washington and become acquainted with
our officials. so that there may be mutual
understandings. DR.. Solf will reach wash
ington the latter part of this month and
will be presented by DR.. Won Holleben, the
German ambassador. He will then proceed
to Samoa, reaching there in May. His as
sumption OF the municipal presidency, with
the approval of the three powers, is expect
ed to smooth out matters among the off,
Gals and go long way towards adjusting
the entire matter.
In reaching this conclusion the officials
Of the three powers have decided not to at
tempt a settlement of the Samoan kngship
for the present. That is left open for adj
justment when each Of the three powers
have had opportunity to present full infor-
nation. In the meantime the statu quo is
to be maintained. The last advices indi-
Gated that Mataafa was exercising de facto
kingship, while Maietoa was on board the
British ship Porpoise and had the support
OF the British and American authorities. Ac-
cording to the understanding reached, there
will be no move to permanently establish
one or the other of these claimants on the
throne, the best wishes of the Samoan peo-
pie will be consulted, and with more
agreeable feeling among the officials of the
three powers, the kingship will be settled
by full conference as soon as all the IN
formation on the subject is obtained
In the conferences leading up to the pres
ent understanding, 1t developed that Or.
Raffe was recalled from his post at Samoa
last November. but he persisted in staying
after his recall, and his presence appears
to have had much to do in precipitating the
trouble. DR.. SOlf, who succeeds him as pres
ident, is described as an accomplished diplo-
Gently as district judge of the German col
ony OF Dar-A-Saam, in South Africa IL is
post much similar to that of Judge Cham
bers in Samoa.
