GERMANY LOSES OUT
On Any Comparison of Apia
With Page Pago.
SHELTER IN TIME OF STORM
Apia Has None, While Pago
Page Is a Horse Pond.

Washington. April 12-The navy depart
ment has received the following report
from Captain TiIley. commanding the
Abarenda, setting out the advantages
possessed by the harbor of Page Page.
which is now being equipped as a United
States naval station. as illustrated in a
critical experience of that vessel:
/ ~. s. S. Abarenda,
"Pago Page, Samoa, March .. 1890
! Sir have the honor to report that
on the the instant, while I was in the
port of Apia with the Abarenda under
my command. heavy gale from the
I northward came on very suddenly and
was obliged to proceed to sea at once
] In less than half an hour heavy sea
! arose and the anchorage at Apia was I'M
/ safe for any vessel. The German cruiser
! Cormoran and the American mail steam
! er Alameda left Apia Immediately after
/ the Abarenda came out. 1t was with
/ some difficulty that the Abarenda clear
ed the reefs, as she has not much steam
I power After We got outside the weather
got much worse and the gale continued to
blow for two days. I stood down toward
Page Page, but the weather was so
thick and boisterous that it was unsafe
to run in on the land On the 10th instant
I entered this port al II O'Clock a. m,
and although it was still blowing a gale
outside 1 found the harbor as smooth as
a pond
The barometer had been low for ten
days previous to the coming of the gale
and gave no special indication of its ap-
proach.
In order to show the value Of Pago
Page as a commercial port, as compared
to Apia. I will state what occurred to
the mail steamer Alameda on her last
voyage southwark from San Francisco.
The Alameda had thick weather for two
days before reaching the island OF Upolu,
which she sighted when well TO the east
ward. She arrived off the port OF Apia
about half an hour before shutdown on
the It'll instant. Although she brought
the mail, her captain CVon Ortendory. a
very old mani decided not to come near
the port, and stood out to sea. The next
day, March s. he came in and anchored
at 10 o'clock a. m, having lost sixteen
hours. At 1 o'clock p m. on the same
day the gale set in and the Alameda was
forced to put to sea at once. She cast
eff the. lighters which she had alongside.
and some Of them drifted on the reef
and were badly injured. She had a num-
Der Of passengers on shore, and although
they were recalled by blasts Of the steam
whistles, I do not think they were al
able to get on board before she sailed
Had the port Of call Of the Alameda been
Page Page instead Of Apia, she could
have entered it at any time, night or
day, discharged her cargo and embarked
freight in two hours and then proceeded
on her way I make this statement Of
facts so the department may realize the
value Of this port. It is for the interests
Of the Germans to have the steamer from
San Francisco stop at Apia- but IT is for
American interests as well as for their
own advantage, that they should stop at |

MASKED MEN RELIEVE
 E. H. NALL OF A S2O BILL
Covered Him with Pistol at Corner of Eighth Avenue and Twenty
 First Street

Eugene H. Nall, a clerk at the Central of Georgia depot, who resides at S26 North Twenty-second street, while going home about Il o'clock last night was held up and robbed of $20 by two masked men, at the corner of Eighth avenue and Twenty-first street MT. Nall says that one of the men was tall and square-buit and had a mus tache, though he could not tell whether it was false or natural, and the other was smaller. One of the men covered him with a pistol while the other went through his pockets and took S20 bill After fleecng him they made him go home, going to the gate with him, and then went in the direc- ton of the Kansas City, Memphis and Bir mingham railroad track. As soon they had gotten out of sight Mr. Nall came to town and reported the robbery to the po- lice, and Captain Weir sent two officers to that vicinity to see if any trace of the men could be found. They had not succeeded in catching the robbers at an early hour this morning.
