Principle Ennunciated in the
Samoan Case.
We VIII pay the Damages Assessed but Re-
fuse to Accept The Principle as
Prec aden',
lBv the Associated Press.l

Washington. Oct 22-An intimation
has been received here that King Oscar
of Sweden. who is acting as the arbitra-
tor of the issues between the United
states, Germany and Great Britain. grow
ing out of the Samoan rebellion OF 1899
will decide that the facts presented to
him in the briefs of counsel. (which have
been pending for nearly a year, warrant
him in proceeding TO assess the damages
sustained by foreign residents of Samoa
as a result of the landing of a combined
force Of American and British sailors
End marines, and the destruction of
property incident to the ensuing fight
with the rebels. BY the terms of the
treaty. under which the three powers
agreed to submit these claims to arbi-
tration. the arbitrator was first TO de-
clare whether or not the Americans and
British were at all liable for damages.
and if so, then he was to determine the
amount of that liability. He has. 1t is
understood concluded to decide the first
question in the affirmation. The next
step is to fix the amount of the damages,
and this must be done by King Oscar
upon the basis of the facts now to be
presented by the representatives OF the
governments concerned The German
claims are far larger than the others.
amounting to $103 .91S. while the Ameri-
can claims are 1905. and the British
only S6,2Sj.
1t is not the amount of money involved
in this approaching decision of the arbi-
traitor that concerns the Government Of
the United States, but rather the enun-
citation Of a principle which. if accepted
as a precedent. would be most unpalata-
BILE and would so seriously restrict the
assertion of American rights in foreign
countries in case of revolution or rioting
jeopardizing the lives and, property of
our citizens. that it would amount to the
total withdrawal of protection. This can
never be admitted. and so it may be
positively stated, that while the United
States Government will accept the arhi-
tration loyalty and pay any damages as
sessed against it, it will utterly refuse
to be bound by such principle or o
recognize it as establishing a precedent
Otherwise the United States Government
would be held liable for enormous dam
ages in cases where it lands troops upon
the Isthmus of Panama resulting in a
collision with rioters or rebels. even
though the government is solemnly
bound by treaty TO preserve free traffic
across the Isthmus The United States
could not land marines in any of the
West Indian or Central and South
American ports in any emergency without
risking liability for heavy damages.
These considerations will lead TO the
declination to recognize the decision as
a precedent. and incidentally. to the sub
mission of the next similar case TO The
Hague tribunal in the hope of another
and different decision.
