KING OSCARS DECISION.
Full Text of His Ruling Has Reached
Washington.

The full text of the decision Of King Os
car, acting as arbitrator Of the triangular
case of the United States, Great Britain and
Germany, growing out of the acts of sailors
and marines in Samoa during the Mataafa
rebellion has cached Washington. AS in
dicated in the cable advices, the decision is
adverse to the contention of the United
States and Great Britain that their forces
were properly used to repress the rebels
but the statement of the reasons which in
fluenced the arbitrator in his decision has
not made it any more acceptable. The
judgment is on the point of RESPONSE
bility and the arbitrator has not yet fixed
the amount of the money ltabil ty, which
must now be determined by him upon state
ment of facts to be submitted by the in
dtvidual claimants through their respective
governments.
