DECISION TO STAND.
Uncle Sam Win Abide By the Ruiz
ing Of King Oscar.
Hlstery Of Controversy which naa
Hts Origin In Ear.01 samoa aaa
now Has Been Settled 1t
Stockholm.

The ruling of King Oscar of Sweden
and Norway, in the Samoan contro-
versy, against the United States and
Great Britain and in favor of Ger
many, is hailed with some surprise
by many papers. The decision lis
staggering, to put it mildly, !" declares
the Brooklyn Eagle; and the New
York. Tribune says it is surprising
and inexplicable." The decision holds
that the landing of marines on April
" 1899, at Apia was not justified, and
that, in consequence, the governments
of Great Britain and the United States
must pay the complainants for their
loss. How the division of payment be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain will be made does not seem
to be known in the state department,
but il. is believed that it may have
. to be arranged by q special agreement
between the two countries, The ORR
gin of the controversy is told briefly
in the following paragraph taken from
. the New York Tribune:
''The dispute<now decided grew out
! of the concerted action of Rear Adj
miral Kautz, of the United States navy.
and Capt. Sturdy, of the British navy,
in leading combined American and
British force at Apia on April !. 1899,
for the purpose Of making a recon
noissance and breaking up Mataafa's
supporters, who were in rebellion
against the recognized government.
