Won BUelOW PRESENTS THE
SAMOAN TREATY TO REICHSTFG

Berlin, Feb. 12.-1niroducing in the
thoriz!ng the abrogation OF the treaties
with the Tonga Islands OF 1876; Samoa
OF 1879 and a portion of the Zanz bar
treaty OF 1885, the minister of foreign
affairs, Count Won Buelow made
speech during which ne said the legis-
lation was necessitated by the recent
Anglo German and German Anglo
American agreement dividing the ISL
ands. So far as Tutuelia was concerned
the minister said Germany never con-
tesl,ed the American claims that the
United States possessed the right OF
port and settlement there. Since 1873
Upolu and Savaii had formed an eco
nomic whole ana therefore. could not
be separated from each other but could
easily Toe severed from Tutuelia. Con-
tinuing the. minister said:
II have pleasure In stating that the
Americans did not hinder, but rather
furthered this clear severance. We
hope the relations of Germany with the
United states and Samoa will remain
friendIy, even as the -FelatiopS of the
German and American members OF
the SANTA commission have been thor
oughly friendly"
Count Won Buelow also referred TO
the special agreement TO arbitrate the
claims arising from the troubles IN
Samoa. He explained that the Ger
man claims were estimated at about
900, 900 marks. This agreement, add
ed the foreign minister, is now before
the American Senate. 1t is proposed
that the king OF sweden shall be ar
bitrator, and think we may anticipate
that his decision will be in accordance
with principles OF fairness and Justice
The bill then passed its first and Sec
ond readings.
