THE DIFFICULTY IN SAMOA.

The preservation Of order among the ma

The treaty has been unsatisfactory ever
since IL was formulated. Germany beiiey-

than those of the other two powers) to be
Of paramount Importance, and the German
consul has ever dabbled In the politics of
the natives, which has given rise to much
friction.
The natives continued to fight among
themselves and had the advantage of mod

much more rapid. The kingship was the
prize for which many battles were Ought.

Berlin. January 21.--The news from
Samoa has not caused great surprise hers
1t was foreseen long ago that trouble
would break out sooner or later. The
sripartite arrangement has always been
considered In official circles here as being
a most peculiar diplomatic document, Gre
ating an unsettled situation which Is
really at the bottom OF the present disor-
der. although the election dispute precipi-.
lated hosfilities. 1t can be safely said,
however, that the German government is
not particularly annoyed at the fact that
give Germany an opportunity for reopen
ing the Samoan question with the view OF
establishing order on permanent basis.
Further particulars regarding the trouble
In Samoa received late In the day show
that during the fighting an armed do
tachment from the British warship Por-
potse occupied the house Of Chief Justice
Chambers. half mile outside Of Apia
and that another detachnsent Occupied the
where Maiietoa Tanus and his party had
sought refuge. Tamasese and his party
sought shelter Under the guns OF the por-
poize.
The fugitives were compelled to SUR
render their arn1s and the rest OF tbs
MaIietao Tanus party were captured by the
Mstaafaites on the peninsula OF Mutunuu.
Mataafa did not take part in the fighting
and the German warship in those waters
held aloof from the trouble.
The Anzieger says. The German press
lately has repeatedly discussed the nature
Of tho relations between the German and
American naval officers in the Pacific
From reports recently received here we
are in a position to srste positively that
these relations were not only FREQ from
tension. but on the contrary the inter-
course between the officers was OF a social
and cordial character. as demonstrated by
Invitations. visits and other friendly meet
inss which were repeatedly exchanged. The
attitude Of the German naval officers has
always been correct under all circum-
stances.
