DECISION TO STAND.
Uncle Sam Will Abide by the Rul-
ing of King Oscar.
History of Controversy Which Had
FITS Origin in Far-Of Samoa and
Now Has Been Settled at
Stockholm.

The ruling of King Oscar of Sweden
and Norway, in the Samoan contro-
versy, against the United States ana
Great Britain and in favor OF Ger
many, is hailed with some surprise
by many papers. The decision rs
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
1, 1899, at Apia was not justified, anu
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 it is believed that it may have
to be arranged by 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 Ad-
miral Kautz, of the United States navy,
and Capt. Sturdy, of the British navy,
in leading a combined American and
British force at Apia on April 1, 1899,
for the purpose of making a recon-
noissance and breaking up Mataafa's
supporters, who were in rebellion
against the recognized government.
1t was on this occasion that Philip
Landslide, the executive officer of the

and two enlisted Americans, and

John S. Mosby, well known as the

service of the confederacy during the

special employe of the department of
the interior, showed willingness to
talk about his wartime experiences
to a Washington Star reporter day
or two ago. The latter inquired into
the truth of story that he had en-
tered Alexandria in disguise and had
engaged in some daredevil trick.
'Oh, that story is all nonsense"
said Col. Mosby. 81 never went to a
place in disguise in my life. These
stories arose because of the rapid
movements of my command. Why,
there is an official telegram on file in
the war department, stating that |
was in Washington in conference with
Wilkes Booth the night of the killing
of President Lincoln. 1t is needless to
say that the statement was known to
be false by most of the federal gener-

ty. The United States ship Badgerwas
promptly sent to the scene, carrying
an international commission COM
posed of Bartlett Trip, representing
the United States; Baron Won Stern
berg, the German commissioner, and
C. N. Elliott, the British commissioner.
Claims amounting to nearly $4,000
were filed by German, French, British
and American residents on account of
damages caused by the landing party.
AS the chief result of the investiga-
tions of the commission, the tripar-
tite agreement of 1889 was abrogated,
the islands being divided between the
United States and Germany, while
Great Britain withdrew. A conven-
ton was signed at Washington on
November z, 1899, submitting the
claims of Samoan residents to the king
of Sweden and Norway for arbitra-
ton, the main questions being wheth-
er the military action of the United
States and Great Britain had been
warranted"
