ENGLAND ANNEXES
THE TONGA ISLANDS

NUKUALOFA. Tonga, Dec. 13, 1885,
Quite ripple of excitement is prevailing
in this Rip Van Winkle place, caused by
the appearance of H. NJ. S. Tauronga
early last Tuesday The captain at once
called on his Majesty, George Tubou, and
it soon leaked out that something very Sc
rious was in the wind.
About three months ago Herr Gruno
the German Vice Consul at Samoa, ar
rived and made demand on the Tongan
Government for claims amounting to
s25 900 for debts contracted by Tongans
with the German traders. Many of these
accounts are of over twenty years stand
ing and the Government repudiated the
claims
Mr. Gruno left for Samoa and rumor
had it that unless the full amount were
paid Germany intended 10 seize You You
the best harbor in the group and the
largest one in the South Pacific, outside
of Papeete harbor in Tahiti.
Herr Gruno returned to Samoa and a
German Warship was expected here later
to enforce the claim. The Tauronga
sailed from Sydney at a few hours no.
tice under sealed orders to Fiji, where
the captain and Governor were closeted
for several hours, and the Touronga
steamed here as fast as her engines could
propel her. To-day the captain remained
with the King for three hours. and the
British protectorate will be hoisted at 9
o'clock tomorrow. The Tauronga has on
board e25 900 to pay Germany, as Great
Britain assumes the claim just.

when a rebel crowd Of about fifty came in
contact with some Malietoas, there has
been no fighting in the town. The de-
lenses have been strengthened by the
mounting OF an additional gun and
couple of mines have been laid in case OF
a rush into the town. The Porpoise has
regularly left harbor every day since
last Sunday morning and returned in the
evening, to be at hand in case OF the ne
cessity of repelling an attack by night.

INCIDENT THAT ADDED
TO AMERICAN PRESTIGE

Louis Janin Jr, well-known California
and Nevada mining man. had an exciting
experience at Samoa while returning on
the Mariposa to San Francisco from the
Antipodes. In common with his fellow
passengers, Mr.. Janin was naturally anx-
ious TO go ashore and view the ravages
caused by the native war.
Il was landed" he said yesterday. "at
the International Hotel at the Mulinuu end
of the town. 1 found the place garrisoned
like military post, as it was the head
quarters of the landing party from the
Philadelphia. At last we got a pass from
Lieutenant Lansdale, the officer in charge,
allowing me TO walk along the beach road
as far as the Supreme Court. Everywhere
we found signs of ruin and desertion The
stores were closed and no whites were
about. As to the natives, they had all
disappeared The Mataafa rebels had
fed into the bush behind the town, where
they were being shelled by the men-of-
war. The loyal followers of Malietoa
Tanu, the young King who was crowned
just before our arrival were intrenched
on the Mulinuu peninsula. Armed sailors
from the Philadelphia patrolieG the roads
and it was not safe to venture more than
few yards inland. We tried to explore
one of the side paths leading from the
beach to a native village, but were speed
lily confronted by a half-naked savage and
an ugly looking rife. He seemed to mean
business, so we retired.
''At the Tivoh Hotel we came under
British care and had to get another pass
Everywhere there was the greatest
friendship and camaraderie between Eng
lsh and Americans. but nowhere could
the Germans be seen. In fact, the Ger
mans were practically prisoners on board
the Fake or in their own stores, for they
could not get passes TO proceed along the
beach
The charges for the Philadelphia six
inch guns proved in many cases defective
The powder was either weak in explosive
as to destroy the aim of the gun. In
some instances the Shells burst prema-

his ammunition.
This action Led TO a ludicrous blum
the Americans, The German warship
Fake happened to be outside on the
same day.. and when the Americans
opened fire the natives naturally con-
cluded that war between the nations had
begun. As the Fake returned 10 port
first, they also assumed that she had
been ignominiously driven back by the
United States cruiser. The prestige of
our nation gained immensely by this
little unrehearsed incident. The Ameri-
can sailors are very popular with the
loyal natives, and the presence of a pow
erful cruiser like the Philadelphia has
convinced them that the United States
influence has been correspondence di-
minishing for the failure of the Germans

KAUTZ BITTER TOWARD
THE GERMAN CONSUL

APIA, Samoa, March PA had an in
terview with Admiral Kautz yesterday.
He spoke quite freely on the situation,
and considers he has been grossly in
suited by the German Consul General is
suing his counter proclamation. The
admiral takes the stand that the Berlin
treaty which he is instructed by his Gov
ernment to uphold, does not make any
provision whatever for a provisional gov
ernment. His instructions are to carry
out the treaty in accordance with the
views of a majority of the consular rep
resentatives. The admiral is very angry
with the German Consul, and blames him
entirely for the present attitude of the
rebels, as the natives were obeying his
command to retire to their homes when
the German proclamation was issued.
At the meeting of the Consuls and SEN
ior naval officers on the flagship the ad-
miral explained his position. Under the
treaty there could be no provisional gov
ernment, and the agreement under which
il had been recognized under peculiar
and trying circumstances for the protec-
ton of life and property was just as pro-
visional as the government itself. He
had TO stand by the Supreme Court. and
he hoped that plan of action would
be agreed upon for restoring peace to the
island without the intervention of armed
force. The British and American Con-
suls and naval officers agree with the
admiral. The German Consul said that
having accepted the provisional govern
menI ne couid not recede from his posi-
ton under any circumstances whatever
until he had instructions from Berlin
Later after the meeting, Rose nut his
views in writing to the admiral and sad
German warships could act only if Ger
tected against danger or in the case Of
the Supreme Court issuing a warrant for
arrest against individuals. On no other
ground could German warships interfere
in Samoa, and according to Instructions
under which he acted there would be no
military interference by Germany. He
also protested against the issuing of the
proclamation by Admiral Kautz pending
instructions from the treaty powers: also
against the return to Apia of the de-
ported Malietoans. which was a menace
TO the peace of Samoa, and he reminoed
the admiral that the Fake had made
no promise to help according to the ad-
mirars proclamation. He was afraid the
admiral's proclamation would do harm,

north of Malolos.
In the meantime the dredgers are

leve a crushing defeat will do more
just at this time to end the rebellion
than anything else. General Otis
may make demonstrations against

WOODLAND. April IN. A Nurse. en-
gineer in the department Of public works
is enthusiastic over the manner in which
the big easement at Elkhorn performed
its work He says that the demonstra-
ton that it is one of the most feasible and
practicable methods of preserving the
channel of the river and of averting the
devastation of large tracts of farming
land by flood waters has been complete
and convincing.
As soon as the water subsidies Mr. Nurse
will make critical examination of the
weir, levees and the adjacent country.
with view Of determining how both may
