GERMANY,S HAND IN S.IuOI.
Dr. Raffel and the Source of the Power He
Exerts.


Or. hahei and the source OF the Power He
Exerts.
Once upon n time there was in Washington a
most minor official who described himself as
"a bigger man than old Grant" Making the
hecessary allowances for the tropical and mo
tharchical surroundings. that phrase describes
The position OF the President of the Munich
pality Of Apia, the present holder of which
office. DIR. Raffel, is asserting Germany's power
in Samoa. The King lived In a three-roomed
cottage which the United States gave him.
The President lives in a handsome house.
When the President orders q tin of biscuits the
traders are glad to charge it and present the
account at the end of the quarter. There is a
law of the Kingdom that no store NAV aXtend
credit to the King except on an order counter
signed by the President or the Collector of Gus
toms. The Kings wages are S4SGO a month.
THE Presidents salary of $1,000 n year is a
fixed charge upon the Government assets. and
must be paid before the pittance is set aside
for royalty.
The President exists by virtue of the Berlin
act. In fact. everything in Samoa is consti-
tuted by that documen with the execution of
the three Consuls and the rebels. Three Presi-

Special Cable Despatch to TnE Sun.

Out In Samoa.
SPECIAL Cable Despatch IN THE suS.
LONDON. Jan. 2O.-There is little comment
on the Samoan situation here. The Daily Ne1rs
describes the condition Of affairs as n most
miserable tanele. It adds that Great Britain.
Germany and the United States are so busy
looking after themselves that they have no
time to think OF tho samoans. who want genu-
inc paternal rule.
The Chronicle SAYS It does not expect pro-
longed trouble. 1t does not think that the
high-handod action Of the Germans at Apia
will be indorsed by the Berlin Government.
1t adds: Anyhow. the United States Is In no
humor just now to suffer snubs from Ger
many"
The Times gives prominence TO an anon
ymous communication in reference to Samoa.
Tho writer declares that It il easier to-
undcrvalue than overestimate the impor-
lance of the problem. None OF the sigma
tories of the Berlin treaty can be en-
tirely absolvod from blame for the
complications The most astonishing features
OF the matter are the German roNe-Jdcc in
championing Mataafa. and that Great Britain
and the United States should have consented,
while the throne was yet vacant. to allow such
a frebrand as Mataafa TO be thrown ON the
smoulderinG embers OF disaffectlon.
The situation will not be devoid of benefit.

tories of the necessity for Immediately and
radically amending the Berlin act: otherwise
the island will be constantly liable to civil war.
and may even possibly become the theatre of
hostilities between two of the Interested parties.
The writer remarks that as soon as the Cen
tral American Canal is built, II not ear
lier, the possession Of lago-Pago. which
is incomparably the safest hnrbor in the
Pacific. will become a world-important
question. He adds that it must not be
forgotten that the Samoan Islands so long ago
as 1872 were a cherished object in the eyes OF
American exrnnsioniSts. and that even now
Samoa is n word to conIure with throughout
many OF the Western States.
