POSSIBLE CLASH AT SAMOA
ADMIRAL K4UTZ DIRECTED TO
MAINT1IN THE PEACE.
This Country, England and Germany
Respecting the KingIy Succession
Provisional Government May Force n
Crisis by Hasty Action.

Washington, March 16.--The state de-
partment believes that there is little
probability of hostile clash in Samoa,
at least not one that will involve the
European and American colonies. Ad-
miral Kautz was specially charged to
maintain the peace and to give protec-
tion not only to American interests, but
to those of Great Britain and Germany,
and this broad instruction may even
warrant him in intervening forcibly to
prevent a conflict between the native
factions, although our government is
loath to take any such steps except in
case Of an emergency. The admiral is
to make thorough inquiry into the
present conditions on the islands, and
as there appears to be an issue of We
racity between the various consuls and
the chief justice respecting the events
that led up to the outbreak at Apia last
January the admiral will be relied upon
by our government to settle this matter
definitely.
between the United States, Great Brit
ain and Germany respecting the kingly
succession in Samoa, any action of the
so-called provisional government that
would tend to force a crisis premature
ly would have mischievous effects. The
German government is regarded as be-
ing solicitous that there should not be
an outbreak at this time, but unfortu-
nately seeks to impose conditions in the
pursuit of this purpose that, If accept
ed would seriously compromise the al
legged rights of the United States and
Great Britain. Our government pre-
fers to adhere strictly to the Berlin
treaty so long as that convention seems
unchanged. 1t is understood here that
the provisional government is only an
assemblage of some of the so-called
chiefs, but Mataafa has not joined it.
The German proposition is that Chief
Justice Chambers decision be disre-
garded, and that new arrangement
be effected directly between the pow
ers.
Commander Tilley of the Abarenda
has come to Washington to consult with
the authorities prior to starting for Sa-
moa. His ship is at Norfolk and she
should sail in few days. Commander
Tilley goes to open the coaling station
at Pago-Pago. which the United States
holds under the terms of a special trea-
ty with the Samoan government. When
the station is established Commander
Tilley will assume charge of 1T. The
Abarenda will not return Immediately
to the United States. Although a col
Tier. she has been overhauled and equfp-
ped with good battery of rapid-firing
guns, so that she will be really an eff
cient cruiser with large radius of ac-
tion. The navy department has given
orders that after the landing of her
stores at Pago-Pago she take perma
nent station in the Samoan Islands to
look after the interests of the United
States.

list NIGHTS POLO GAMES.
Now Britain Won from Providence by
Score of 5 to 3

l score Oh y 10 d
New Britain, March 16.--The polo
season closed in this city tonight with
Providence the visiting team, and as the
latter needed the game to insure win
ming the pennant it was expected that
the contest would be an exciting one
and the biggest crowd of the season
turned out. The game exceeded the ex-
pectations of every one and resulted in
a victory for the home team by the
score of 5.3 The Hartford polo team
was among those present.
From the time the whistle blew until
the firal gong was sounded the excite
ment was intense. In the first period
the home team scored the only two
goals Gagged which was duplicated by
Providence in the second period, and the
final period opened with the score tie.
The game up to this time had been
more than ordinarily rough, but in the
desire to win Providence stopped at
nothing, with the result early in the Pc
riod Russell and Cunningham came to
blows and they were paratSd with diff
ffculty. Soon afterwards Conway delib-
erately struck Russell, Whereupon Nc
Gilvray and Jean went after him and
Cunningham and the fight became so
fierce and the other players being un-
able to stop it number of the specta-
tors swarmed onto the floor and the po-
lice also came onto the surface and sep
arated the men. New Britain Gagged
three goals in this period, while the Wis
itors scored but one. Score-New Brit
ain 5, Providence 3. Rushes-Russell 8,
