San Francisco, June 3O.-The steam
ship Mariposa arrived from Australia,
via Samoa and Honolulu, today and re-
ports everything quiet in the Samoan ISL
ands.
The commission lost no time in getting
to work, and had an interview with the
rival kings, who agreed to surrender all
arms and abandon claims to the throne.
The commission is now engaged in writ
ing it's report. Apia is to be governed by
a council and mayor. Judicial and dip
lomatic functions of consuls will be

and one law is recognized sufficient for
the needs of Samoa. Revenue will be
raised by indirect taxation, by means
Of increased customs duties and poll tax
will be abolished. A governor will be
appointed, who will not be subject Of
any of the treaty powers. He will be as
sisted by a council of three, one from
ench of the interested powers. This
council will legislate for Samoans and
will be aided by a small body of repre-
sentative Samoans. Consuls Rose and

Released From Quarantine.

San Francisco June 30.-The steamer
Nippon Maru, suspected of being infect
ed with the bubonic plague, has been re-
leased from quarantine. after being thor
oughly fumigated by DR.. kinyvOum, the
federal quarantine officer, at Angel
island. Her passengers and crew were
held on the island, but the steamer is now
lying off the Pacific Mail dock where it
is he intention to unload her cargo. Al
though Dr. Bartlett, the bacterologist of
tie board of health, fears that the bacilli
taken from the glands of the two Japan
ese sailors found in the bay, are plague
bacilli, from their close resemblance to
the germs of the Asiatic disease, he can
not express definite opinion until today,
when. the cultures will have been devel-
oped. Meantime the members of the
board of health declare their intention to
prevent the landing of freight from the
vessel

partment with colored volunteers during
the Spanish war was not a happy one,
and, in spite of reports from the Philip
pines that the colored man is greatly
feared by the Filipinos the authorities
are averse to running the risk Of repe-
tltion of the troubles of last year.
The selection of officers for the ten ad-
ditional regiments is now being made.
General Otis has selected officers for the
regiments to be organized under his SUI
pervlsion and the war department Off
Gals are going over the efficiency reports
of officers who served during the Spanish
war, for the purpose of securing leaders
for the regiments to be organized at
home. The president will have the ap-
pontment of 470 officers. One colonel,
one lieutenant colonel, three majors, IA
captains, Is first lieutenants, - second
lieutenants, three medical officers and
one chaplain. No general officers will be
appointed, for the reason that there will
be a surplus of major generals and brig
adler generals after the old volunteer Off
GERS are mustered out. In making selec-
tions of new officers, the preference will
be as follows: First-Officers of the vol
unteers who distinguished themselves in
action during the Spanish war. Second
Officers of the regular army who have
earned, but have not received promo
tions for conspicuous service at the front
during the Spanish war. Third-Volun-
teers of the Spanish war who did not get
to the front, but whose efficiency reports
while in camp show them to be compe-
tent to command troops. Only a very
small percentage of the officers of the
regular army, it is stated, will be ap-
pointed, for the reason that there is al
ready a shortage of officers in the regular
establishment on account of illness.

Apply for Commissions.

Washington, June 30.-Since the an
nouncement that about 10000 volunteers
We're to be mustered into the army SER
vice in the Philippines the president has
been deluged with applications for COM
missions. The president requests all his
visitors to file their applications with
Adjutant General Corbin. At the same
time he makes it clear in a general way
that the policy of the administration in
granting commissions will be to grant
commissions to volunteer officers who
showed ability and who performed valu-
able service during the Spanish war. The
number of officers to be commissioned is
to be carefully guarded to prevent q
scramble.

Late Cuban Affairs.

Havana, June 3O-The citizens OF
Matanzas protest against restoring the
| cemetery to ecclesiastical authorities. 1t
is asserted by those who are particularly
| active in their opposition that the church
| though always regarding the cemetery
as leading source of income. has in
variably taken advantage of the poor
| in connection Herewith, compelling them
to pay eXorbitant sums when renting
graves for their dead, and then, at the
expiration of the terms, remorselessly
dlslnterrlng the remains and throwing
them into unconsecrated ground. =.

Gently created so much trouble in the
district of Guanajay. The prompt meas
ures already taken have served to check
the outbreak of thievery, and it is not
expected that there will be much more
trouble there. Nevertheless, General Lee
wishes to take steps that will be abso-
lutely preventive.
General Brooke has received a decree
drawn by Senor La Nuza, secretary of
justice of the advisory cabinet. by the
terms of which for the time being, citi-
zens of foreign countries, who desire the
recognition of charters and licenses shall

The people are deeply interested in the
reported discovery of yellow fever

Miners Are Safe.

San Francisco, June 30.--A story has
recently been circulated to the effect that
a party of miners, who left Nevada City
some months ago to prospect in the
north, had perished of cold and hunger
in the wilds of Siberia. Mrs. Norval
Douglass of this city, whose son is one
of the party, states that there is no
truth in the story.
1.-The party never went to Siberia, nor
had any intention of going there" she
said. LAS matter of fact. they are
now camped 300 miles beyond Arctic City,
with enough provisions to last them
through another season.

Reaching a Crisis.

Washington, June 30.--The negotiati tions
in London looking to the arrangement Of
boundary, have again nearly reached a
crisis. The several conferences that have
taken place recently between Salisbury
and Choate have been signally disap-
pointing in result. AT moments it ap-
peared details could be easily arranged
but it turns out that those very details
cannot be agreed upon without the sacri-
flee of interests of many American
miners, mainly those who are driven out
of the Atlin district by the severe and
discriminating Canadian laws. The state
department is determined not to sanction

MARBLE AND MUD.
The 0reatest Contrasts Are to Be
Found in the Most Lux
uriant Citfes.

Probably in Constantinople, which
has been described as the "city of
novels" there is a greater contrast be-
tween the public and private buildings
than In any other city In the world.
The streets are narrow. tortuous and
dirty, and even the better class of pri-
vate houses are mean in comparison
with those of similar class in other
countries. On the other hand, the
mosques and palaces are magnificent in
size, design and materials of construc-
tion, most of them being of marble.
white or gray. The seraglio is one Of
the most splendid buildings In Europe.
Berlin is close second in this respect.
boasting the finest streets in Europe.
Inter den Linden and its public build
ings will compare favorably with those
of any other capital, but its slums and
tenement houses are squalid and filthy
In the extreme. Another city which is
close in the running is Lisbon. When
It was rebuilt after the earthquake the
public buildings were built on a scale
by no means justified by the finances
Of the country, while the private build
ings had to be erected in accordance
with their owners means. The contrast
between them is therefore naturally
very striking.
