WILL UTILIZE THE CABLE.
Samoan Treaty viii Be Accepted and
Proclaimed by Telegraph.

NEW YORK, Feb. ia special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
An innovation in the formality in ex-
changing treaty ratifications has been
adopted by the United States, Great
Britain and Germany in order to secure
the partition of Samoa with the least
possible delay and for the first time the
submarine cable is TO be called into SER
vice to obtain results within as many
hours as under the customary deliber-
ate way would have taken weeks. yet
without any sacrifice Of the dignity or
solemnity OF the ceremony. When the
German emperor is empowered by the
constitutional legislative authority to
ratify the treaty Of December 2. which
Will probably be in the next day or two,
the president Of the United States hay-
ing already the consent Of the senate
and Queen Victoria having exclusive
powers, its provisions may be made
binding and operative within one hour
or two.
TO this end an arrangement made by
which the ratifications will be simult-
aneously exchanged in Berlin, Wash
ington and London. Ordinarily these
ratifications would have been ex-
changed in Washington, as the treaty
was signed here; but in view Of the un-
settled state of affairs in Samoa, which
so long as the tripartlte agreement last
ed might at any moment cause further
complications, 1t was determined to put
the treaty into effect as soon as possi-
bic. with the object Of leaving Ger
many free in the exercise Of sovereign
ty and the suppression Of any disorder
in Upola, Savaii and the western ISL
ands Of the group, while the United
States would assume responsibility for
Tutuila and the eastern islands, Great
Britain ceasing to have a hand in the
archipelago.
Great Britain and Germany also had
another treaty on the subject on which
the United States had no part and 1t
was desirable that that convention
