An interesting historical fact dating
back 10 1873. has come 20 light, In which
Admiral Dewey was the central figure.
Dewey then a commander, was IN COM

gansett, on the Asiatic station, having
taken charge Of the vessel on March ],
1871. The vessel was on surveying duty
when the Virginius trouble was precipi-
tated and war with Spain seemed I'M
minent Commander Dewey wrote 10 the
Navy Department. requesting that in case
war was declared he should be assigned
10 the duty Of capturing Manila.

American and German members OF The
Samoan Commission, arrived here on the
steamer Badger, and will leave for WASH
ington tomorrow. on board the Badger
are $500 rifles, which the commissioners
took from the adherents of Mataafa and
Maliet0a.
In speaking about these arms Sr.
Tripp said: II think we have accom-
plished something definite. / cannot
speak OF what we have agreed upon.
While i'm a general way some OF tho
features Of this proposed form OF gov
eminent are known, it is not true that
the document has been given out for pub
hcatiOn anywhere.
"The proposed government provides Tor
a white man as administrator Of the
island-to be encouragement, in other
words. He will take the place of the
Samoan King Much of the trouble In
the islands has been due to the fact that
the natives have always had an elective
instead of an hereditary King. BY having
a white man administrator In supreme
control It is the hope Of the commls-
sion that peace will be permanent IN the
islands. There will also be consular rep
resentatiyes, but their authority VIII zee
more curtailed than at present. Inc
natives will be allowed local self-govera-
ment. The idea OF the commissioners IS
TO let the natives govern themselves as
far as possible"
