OF that State has adopted the following
resolution:

the people OF Manua, and particularly
the King are as mad as hornets
because the High Court OF Tutuila
has decided what Is the proper manner
OF serving out 'kaya - the native drink
of the South Sea Island, and the High

tied States.
On the late visit of the United States
steamship Aperenda TO Manua the de-
cision of the High Court OF Tutuila
was communicated TO the King of Man
ua.
His Majesty waxed exceeding wroth
sVd said he would be pumswizzled if he
would take orders from any Tutuilan
Court, and that he would continue to
serve ont kaya in any way he thought
best. subsequently he informed the
Government officials at Pago Pago that
the High Courts decision cut no ice
with him and that he would not he

That IS rebellion.
As soon as the people Of Tutuila
heard what the King Of Manua had

Up TO the last advices the United

Anyhow, trouble is brewing.
