BEAUTIFUL TUTUILA-
Some Features of Our New Samoan
BeDenIency.

Some Features of Our New Samoan
Dependency.
Tutuila is, in many respects, the most
beautiful of the Samoan isles; though cas-
ual visitors often come away without that
impression, owing to the frequent, almost
continuous rains, In the neighborhood Of
Pago-Pago bay, which have tendency to
curtail excursions. It lies thirty-eight
miles from Upolu, and is the third of the
Samoan islands in size; being II miles long,
5 miles wide and 60 miles in circumference.
Its outline is bold and picturesque, and
presents striking evidence Of volcanic orr
gin. The island is almost cut in twain by
the waters Of Pago-Pago bay; and the en-
tire eastern portion, nearly two-thirds of
its area, is chain of we'll wooded noun
tains, with an average height of 1000 feet,
diversified by massive cones Of uplifted
lava, intersected by valleys and ravines,
and often extending almost to the sea.
Except for the cocoanuts upon the shore
line, this portion Of Tutuila can have little
or no commercial value.
The western portion, however, though
it has the same volcanic :.ppeat anc., has
greater width of area, broader valleys, and
higher mountains. O.: the latter Matafu
is the most lofty peak, with Il height Of
$3.50 feet above the sea level. From it one
descends southwark to an undulat:ng plain
of considerable fertility, some $4,000 acres

ways; and the soil is comparatively r1cn,
producing most of the fruits and vegeta-
bles Indigenous to the group. Beyond this,
to the westward, mountains again prevail;
though the country about Leone, in the
extreme southwest, is the richest and
most populated section Of the island. In
Leone bay, also, there is fair anchorage;
and in the settlement around it several
traders of Apfa have agencies. The total
superficial area of the island is 24O square
miles, inhabited by about 5000 people.
The entrance to Pago-Pago bay, between
Breaker point on the east and Tower rock
on the west, Is three-quarters Of a mile in
width, with soundings of thirty-six faith
oms. Within it, mile and a half from
Tower rock, and connected with the west
bank by coral reef, Is Goat island, two
acres in extent; and this marks the en-
trance to the inner bay. The latter is sur
rounded by lofty hills, which neutralize
the influences Of the trade winds and rem
der it secure from hurricanes. At various
points along the narrow shore are native
villages and the cocoanut groves; and low
down on the hillsides breadfruit, bananas,
oranges, taro and yams grow in sufficient
quantity to provide for the scanty popula-
ton. Fish is fairly abundant In the bay;
and suf1iciency of fresh water is usually
found in the small rivulets at the mouths
of the mountain ravines.
Of the southeastern coast of Tutuila,
and separated therefrom by deep cham
mel, lies the small island of Annu. This
has an area of about ten square miles and
a population of between 200 and 300; and
It is chiefly remarkable for the alleged i'm
munity of its Inhabitants from the scourge
of eiephantiasis, to which the natives of
the other samoan islands are more or less
subject.

GERMAN CLAIM REFUSED
Another Bill Growing from Cuban
War Turned Down.

Washington, Dec 24-The German
embassy has laid before the state de-
partment the claims Of a number of
German subjects for damages to their
interests in Cuba, as a result Of the
Spanish-American war and the insur-
rectiOn which led up to the war it,.
This action has raised a most important
issue, and the department of state has
given it the closest consideration. 1t
has been concluded however. that the
United States cannot be responsible for
the claims. Many regarded as pTacti-
cally the same in principle as the claim
of Porto Rico against Cuba for $780,
900 on account of a war loan.
Although in that case Governor Allen
of Porto Rico represented the United
States government in preferring the
claim, that government was obliged TO
deny its liability or the liability Of
Cuba under present conditions. The
answer to the German presentation will
be based upon the reply TO Governor
Allen. recently made. It is known that
other governments besides Germany
have claims aggregating very large
sum. all based on the Cuban insured
ton and succeeding events. They will
not be abandoned on account OF the
attitude of the United States govern
ment, but probably viii be held in abey-
ance until Cuba viii have become in
dependent, when they viii be presented
directly TO the island government.
