The first case of persecution in

it:

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Mr.
Tower, Charge d'Affaires of Great
Britain, conferred with acting
Secretary of State Hill today rel
ative to the payment of claims
filed against the three govern
ments signatory to the Berlin
treaty as the result of the recent
Samoan trouble.
Many claims for indemnity have
been filed with the British Gov
eminent by it's subjects resident
in Samoa whose property was
damaged by the operations of the
natives, and it is understood that
the German claims amount to a
large sum. There are few Amer
leans in Samoa, and the claims
filed are few. The German and
British Governments are said to
have agreed to arbitrate the
claims.
While this Government is fav-
orable to the principle of arbitra-
ton, it does not propose, where
its claims are so few and small in
amount, to be put in position
where it may have to give an equal
share for the settlement of the
claims of the citizens of other
Governments. Besides, it is said
that the United States is not re-
spOnsible for the damage commit
ted, and former Chief Justice
Chambers, in an identical report
to the three Governments, held
that the Germans were respons-
IDLE. The high Joint Samoan
Commission made no provision for
the settlement Of claims, leaving
this matter to the three Govern
ments to determine.
