Philadelphia, Admiral KautZ summoned the
various consuls and the senior naval Off
GERS to a conference on board the Philadel-
phia, when the whole situation was care
fully canvassed. The upshot was resolu-
ton to dismiss the provisional government,
and Admiral Kautz issued a proclamation
calling upon Mataafa and his chiefs to re-
turn to their homes.
Mataafa Goes Into Interior.
Mataafa evacuated Mu.fnuu, the town he
had made his headquarters, and went into
the interior.
Herr Rose, the German consul at Apia,
issued proclamation supplementing the
one he had issued several weeks before, up
holding the provisional government. AS a
result of this the Mataafans assembled in
large force and heInrned in the town.
The British cruiser Royalist brought the
Malietoa prisoners from the islands to
which they had been transferred by the
provisional government
The Americans then fortified Mulinuu,
where D. Malietoans took refuge. The
rebels-the adherents of Mataafa-barri-
caded the roads within the municipality
and seized the British houses.
An ultimatum was then sent to them, Or
dering them to evacuate and threa tening
them. in the event of refusal with a bonn
bardment to commence at l o'clock the
afternoon of March 10 This was ignored
and the rebels commenced an attack in the
direction of the United States and British
consuates about half an hour before the
time fixed for the bombardment.
Cruisers Open Fire.
The Philadelphia Porpoise and Royalist
opened fire upon the distant villages. There
was great difficulty in locating the enemy
owing to the dense forests, but several
shore villages were soon in flames.
A defective shell from the Philadelphia
exploded near the American consulate and
the marines outside narrowly escaped. A
fragment struck the leg of Private Rudge
shattering it SO badly as to necessitate am
putation. Another fragment traversed the
German consulate smashing the crockery
The Germans then went on board the Ger
man cruiser Fake.
During the night the rebels made a hot
attack on the town, killing three British
sailors. A British marine was shot in the
leg by sentry Of his own party, another
was shot III the foot and an American SEN
try was killed at his post.
The bombardment continuing the inha BIZ
tants of the town took refuge on board the
Royalist, greatly crowding the vessel.
People Leaving Samoa.
Many people are leaving Samoa, the CAP
tain of the Royalist urging them to go. so
as not to interfere with the military OPERA
tions.
The Porpoise has shelled the villages east
and west of Apia and captured many boats
The Americans and British are fighting
splendidly together, but there is a bitter
feeling against the Germans.
Two men, a British and a German sub
ject, have been arrested as spies. The bonn
bardment of the jungle was for a time very
hot.
The British cruiser Tauranga, which, 1t
is understood was intending to annex the
Tonga Islands "a section of the Friendly
Islands, in the Pacific, was intercepted at
Suva, capital of the Fiji Islands, by order
of the home government.

ALLEGED VIOLATION.
Telephone EmplOye Accused of In
lawful Stripging of Wire.

FOREMAN James Mckenzie of the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Company
was before the Police Court today on com
plant of Policeman Shipley for an alleged
violation of the police regulations. 1t was
alleged that the men under the foreman
ted telephone wire to a tree on 10th
street northeast near Massachusetts, ave-
nue.. The wire in question connects with
the telephone in the house of Superintend-
ent Coleman of the Metropolitan Railroad
Company.
During his investigation of the case the
o1l1cer was told that the wire would be
taken from the tree as soon as the Conn
missioners granted permit for the erec-
tion of pole. 1t was alleged that Super
lntendent Crenshaw of the telephone COM
pany, and not Foreman Mckenzie, was
probably responsible, and the court contin-
ued the case.
A warrant for the superintendent was is
sued and the case may be disposed of to-
morrow.

ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE,
The Samoan Islands and the Cause O.
the Present Dispute.

the Present Dispute.
Samoa Is group of fourteen volcanic is
lands OF Polynesia. These islands, contain
ing about 5000 native Inhabitants and less
than 1000 foreigners, have been the scene
of much strife, much of which can be
traced to the efforts of German company
with large interests to bring about German
control The total area is 1,076 square
miles, or one-fifth less than that of the
state Of Rhode Island. The population is
about $4,000. or three-fifths that of Nevada.
The foreign commerce is less than $500 600
a year. The chief value of the islands to
the United States is as a coaling and naval
station and port of call and refuge, and
that value is secured to this country in the
lease of the Pago-Pago harbor.
Formerly the islands, with the exception
of Tutuila, which had independent chiefs,
were governed by the royal houses of Ma
agreement between Germany, Great Britain
and the United States, Malietoa became
king Of all Samoa and Tamasese vice king
These frequently changed places until Au-
gust 70, 1887, when Germany proclaimed
Tamasese king, and Malietoa was deported
to the Cameroons. Mataafa, the chief of
the loyalist paHy and relative of the ex-
lied king, then made war against Tama-
sese. The Germans, after an encounter on
december IT, 1883. resulting from an at
tempt to disarm Mataafa's forces pro-
claimed martial law. truce was finally
arranged, pending diplomatic negotiations

sions We're felt that grave international
complications might ensue. But those most
intimately familiar with the latest official
exchanges between Washington London
and Berlin did not take such a gloomy view
of the outlook. While recognizing that the
bloodshed at Samoa created a very serious
and delicate situation, yet it was said to
be a situation which had been clearly ap-
pretended, and had been discussed in ad-
vance between the representatives of the
three governments. The real crisis, from
an international standpoint, occurred last
week. when this apprehended outbreak was
discussed. Although relations were great
ly strained 1t was possible to secure an un-
derstanding which is said to make sure
that the outbreak now reported will not
cause a rupture in the relations between
the United States and Germany or between
Great Britain and Germany.
U. s. officials Deeply Interested.
The details of the bombardment, as con-
veyed In the Associated Press dispatches,
were read with eager interest by leading
government and diplomatic officers who
have been most directly concerned in han
ding the Samoan question. There was
nothing of an official character however,
either at the State or Navy Departments
or at the British or German embassy, to

Comment on the News.

The news from Samoa that the United
States cruiser Philadelphia and the British
cruisers Porpoise and Royalist had bonn
barded the towns held by Mataafa, who has
thus far had the official support of the
German government, came with startling
suddenness to officials here and displaced
for the time being the attention given to
the fighting around Manila.
The shelltng of Mataafa was looked upon
of secondary Importance, but the deepest
interest attached to the attitude of the
German government. At first apprehen-

The Standard says: The rebellious chiefs
must be coerced and punished and some
thing more than a nominal penalty will be
required for the blood of British and Amer
lean sailors The German authorities at
Apia have incurred a heavy responsibility.
We cannot believe that Berlin will uphold
their action, as it is not worth Germany's s
while to quarrel with England and America
over Samoa"
The Daily Chronicle says: There is only
one alternative. Germany must remove
her consul or go out of the protectorate.'
The Morning Post, commenting upon the
mystery surrounding the affair." and the
'impossbility of reconciiing the events in
Samoa with diplomatic assurances lately
given by Berlin and Washington" says:
Admiral Kautz and his coadjutors were
not competent to dismiss the provisional
government. The single bright spot in this
dark business is that the Americans and
British fought splendidly together"
The Daily Mail says: "It is a consolation
to think that, as in Crete, the spilling of
British and American blood will bring a
solution Of the crisis. All three powers
should recall their consuls, and as the
friendship OF Germany is the pivot of our
foreign policy, her wishes should be re-
spected in the final settlement

lin foreign office therefore instructed the
German ambassador here, Drvon Holleben
to present a note embodying Germany's
views. 1t argued that a naval command
er had no right to act save in executing the
will of the three consulS, acting unanimous
ly and not through majority. But aside
from this argument the German note inti-
mated quite plainly that Germany would
hold the other governments responsible If
serious trouble resulted from the action Of
the naval authorities in Samoa. The strained
conditions caused by this note were some
what allayed by the answer of the State
Department, which was friendly and reas-
surfing, although 1t made plain that the
American naval commander would act in
an emergency, even though the consuls
were not unanimous in requesting action.
1t Is just such an emergency that has now
occurred in Samoa.
There is no apprehension here that an
actual clash will occur with the German
civil or naval forces in Samoa. This is
due mainly to the official understanding
that Germany has given positive orders
to the commander of the German Warship
Fake to refrain from any active move.

ton in hemming in the town where the

general lawlessness which has prevailed
since Mataafa began his reign. In short

Left I've Injured.

Some time in December last, while ut
q dance, Miss Stella Walton had the mis-
fortune to have her left eye pierced by
the sharp end OF the collar worn by the
young gentleman she was dancing with.
She paid no attention TO the mshap at
the time, for the reason that the injury
was not painful and therefore caused
her no unessiness. Since then growth
OF some kind has formed on the pupil OF
the eye, and the young lady now fears
that she will have to undergo an opera

has used an eye wash, which temporarily
relieves the pain, but 4, Is quite evident
