TROUBLE IN SAMOA
German Part of It in an Un,
settled State.
CAUSED BY MATAAFA FACTION
In Tutuila and the Other America1
Islands the Natives Are Peans-
able and Happy.

Apia, Samoa, May IS, via San Fran
cisco. June 4.-Since the German flag
was hoisted in Samoa. affairs have
been in an unsettled state. The Ma
taafa faction until after Easter re-
manned in or around Apia, claiming
that although they had given the king
ship to the commissioners in July last.
they had not by any means given up
their rights to govern the islands under
the guarantee given to them by the
Berlin treaty, which assured the au-
tonomy of the Samoan group and the
right of the natives to elect their own
king. Mataafa claimed that the treaty
powers mad no right to hand over the
government of the islands to any single
power, and that such course was not
assented to by his people.
DR.. Solf, the newly appointed gov
ernor of German Samoa, had thus at
the very outset of his career difficult
and trying position to face. After sew.
eral interviews, in which the matters
were discussed from the different points
of view. the natives agreed to return
to their homes and there await further
AOWS d1tcI buO dI44fdI OA u1c pnpOhOs
from the German government. 1t is
generally understood the governor con-
ceded the right of the majority of the
natives to be the party who should be
consulted later in the formation OF the
native administration and be entitled
to appointments Hereunder. The
Mataafa party claims that "the spoils
belong to the victors."
In Tutuila the American representa-
tive, in the person of Commander Til
ley, of the United States steamer Aber-
enda, has had much more agreeable
and pleasant experience than DR.. Solf.
There the natives hailed with enthusi-
asm the hoisting of "Old Glory" At
Manua, the island lying east of Tutuila,
the chiefs have requested Commander
Tilley to visit the islands in person aud
there hoist the flag. This he consent
ed to do, and the date fixed for the
function was May II, but at the time
of writing there is no news from that
place.
Customs regulations have been pro-
mulgated by the commander. The
only port of entry in Tutuila is Pango-
Pango. The duties are the same as
formerly collected under the Berlin
treaty, with the one exception that the
export duty on copra has been abolish
ed. Lands are not to be alienated by
the natives, although lands may be
leased for period not exceeding 40
years with the approval of the COM
mander. The natives will be governed
in districts. There are three districts.
each under a chief. Under the chiefs
are the judges and village magistrates,
and an appeal lies from all to the COM
mandant. The importation of arms
and ammunition is strictly prohibited.

POLITICS IN SENATE.
Senators Hanna, Hale and Tillman Led
in the Debate.

Senators Hanna, Hale and Tillman Led
in the Debate.
Washington, June 4.-The senatorial
debate today was caustic and as warm
as the weather outdoors. At times the
exchanges between senators bordered
on personalities. Much of the discus
sion was of a political nature. although
in themselves the questions involved
were not essentially political. Soon
was presented from the people of Cali
fornia asking that the government pro-
vide some relief for the starving people
of India. Hale, with this rs a text,
severely arraigned Great Britain for
expending hundreds of millions of dol
lars in crushing liberty and freedom
in South Africa, instead of caring for
the helpless and dying people of Eng
lands chief colony. Aldrich charged
Hale with making political speeches
on irrelevant matters. and a little
later, when Hale reported further dis
agreement on the naval appropriation
bill, an exciting discussion arose over
the armor-plate question. A sharp
political twist was given to the debate
by speech which Hanna delivered in
favor OF leaving the whole matter in
the hands of the senate conferees, and
of conferring discretionary powers upon
the secretary of the navy in accordance
with the house proposition. He be-
came involved in a controversy with
Tillman and Allen over the govern
ment's ability to manufacture armor
satisfactorily in which the sparks few,
to the intense interest of the auditors.
Teller, Allen and Pettigrew replied to
Hanna, all speaking in a political vein.
The bill finally was returned to confer.

PLAGUE SITUATION.
Chinese Of San Francisco State Their
Grievances in Detail.

Ch1n0So OF san francisco state Ihe1K
Grievances in Detail.
San Francisco, June 2.-Referring to
quarantining of Chinatown, the attor-
neys for the Chinese Six Companies
have made the following statement:
1--WE shall do nothing precipitantly
in the way of litigation. and therefore
we do not contemplate making an ap-
plication to the courts at this time for
any order to modify or hinder the oper-
ations of the board of health.
"a cause of considerable uneasiness
among the inhabitants of Chinatown is
the lack of quarantine regulations thus
far observed within the quarantined
district. The general quarantine order
keeps 10000 people within pre-
lively samll district. In this district
1t is not claimed that there are or ever
have been more than nine or ten cases.
The contention made by the people who
are subject to the quarantine is that if
1t is necessary to quarantine this num-
erously populated district, it is the
duty of the board of health to go furth.
or and quarantine or isolate the houses
and persons who are said to be in
fected.
"We shall also request the board of
health to proceed vigorously with the
sanitation of the quarantined district.
The question of expense is secondary
matter. If genuine bubonic plague ex-
lists there, the city should stop at moth
inmg to stamp it out. A million dol
lars would be q mere trife to expend
in doing this work quickly and we'll. !"
Chinese Consul Ho Vow takes the
position that the municipal government
Of San Francisco is bound to furnish
necessaries for the support of the quar-
antined Chinese.
The federal authorities refused to
issue clean bills of health to the steam
ers City of Peking and Australia,
which have sailed for the Orient and
Honolulu. They will have to undergo
quarantine and fumigation on reaching
Hawaii.
