STEERS TORPEDOES
FROM A DISTANCE

NEW YORK, April 1S.-A cable from
London says: Axell Orling gave a private
demonstration in London to-day of his
marvellous invention for steering torpe-
does from distance. The principle Of the
invention consists in the transmission Of
motor force by waves of light similar to
Roentgen rays.
In one room Mr.. Orling fixed up a model
flsh's tail, controlling 1t by means of an
apparatus in an adjoining chamber,
through two partition walls between the
two objects.
Spectators were astonished to see the
rudder of the torpedo turning to the right
or to the left at the will Of the operator,

n ERLIN, April 18.-The CORE
hspondent here of the Associated
~ Press hears on authority that the
German Consul at Apia, Samoa, Herr
Rose, will receive cabled instructions,
to be conveyed to him by steamer
from the nearest cable station, to join
in a tripartite proclamation calling
upon all the inhabitants of Samoa to
Immediately desist from all hostili-
ties and agitation pending the arri-
val at Apia of the Joint Commission
of the powers appointed to settle the
affairs in dispute in the islands.
CHICAGO, April 1S.-A private letter
received here to-day from H. ]. Moore,
an American merchant in Samoa, who
for years has been Mataafa's close
friend and adviser, related some in
teresting details of the troubles in the
islands. The letter, written March %,
says:
When I received in advance of its post
ing, d copy of the proclamation decided
upon by the British and American sides
and issued by Admiral KautZ, I thought
II very moderate document and one
twice to the natives on Mulinuu that
thought they should obey IT. and | think
they so intended, as Mulinuu was soon
deserted and the prisoners liberated, while
the royalists went to Utila for those
who were up there. l promised Captain
White of the Philadelphia that 1 would
do all I could to facilitate a quick and
satisfactory arrangement, and sent word
to Mataafa and the chiefs that no sailors
would be landed and no guns given to
the prisoners; that they ought to go to
their homes and observe peace while the
powers deliberated.
am sure Mataafa's followers would
have done just as Admiral KautZ wanted
and as | was advising, when British Con-
sui MaXse commenced arming the re-
turned prisoners and they began to boast
of what they were going to do with the
assistance of the warships This news ar
rived when Mataafa was speaking in the
very midst of meeting in which he was
number arose, crying: THE weak cannot
govern the strong; our slaves shall not
rule US. We shall fight" and the meeting
was broken up
1t is a singular fact that these wild saw
ages, as they are frequently represented
to be, have not up to now destroyed a
single white mans house, though all over
the islands they are in full possession of
them everywhere, the back part of Apia
being at their mercy now. While the guns
of the PorpoiSe can now be heard blast
ing habitations the homes of Gurr and
Carruthers, who have caused all the
trouble, remain unmolested by Mataafa' s
followers
To subjugate this country will require
not less than 10000 troops, with accessor-
les and then q great loss from exposure
and casualties must be counted on. The
SamoanS are not towards; tney are fight
ing in just cause and God knows I hope
this will soon be recognized and appre-
ciated.

SAY DEWEY FEARED THE FAIR.
Georgia Capital Believes Macon Pre-
vented the Admirals visit

ATLANTA. Ga. october 22.-Admiral
Dewey is not coming TO Atlanta, because
he does not wish TO pose as an annex
TO the state Fair. now in progress here,
and he has declined invitations from
other cities I'm order TO lend consistency
IN his course with regard 10 the Atlanta
celebration. This assertion IS borne out
bv events OF the last few days and addi-
tional information received by those re-
sponsible for the success Of the Dewey
demonstration. who, however. are not
wi ling 10 say so openely.
Last week q delegation Of citizens, rep
resenting Macon, Ga. and headed by
Congressman Charles J. Bartlett, waited
on the Admiral, and urged him 70 visit
that city Among the arguments which
Mr.. Bartlett used was the following eX-
preston:
Admiral We are plain, business people
I'm Macon. and we want you TO come and
see Va. We will not make you an annex
10 q sde-shoW or a county or state fair,
but will receive you as the hero Of the
greatest naval engagement recorded in
tho history Of the United States"
This and possibly the language en-
ployed 10y representatives. OF other envi-
Gus southern cities, led the Admiral TO
believe there might be something in the
insinuat!on that his visit was simply TO
be utilized as a means Of booming the
state Fair. At any rate, those who are
qualified to speak declare that this IS the
true inwardncss Of tho sudden change in
the plans Of the Admiral.
To do the fair management and the
city Of Atlanta justice, however, there IS
no truth IN this innuendo Of Mr.. Bart
lett The promoters of the fair had no
thing to do with the invitation extended
to tho Admiral, and he was to have been
the guest of the city. There was no
coaching Of the Admiral as to the date
OF his visit, and he was at liberty 10
choose any time previous or subsequent
30 the fair. There is a firm belief that
this Is the Interior motive, and the South
generally feels aggrievcd.
