NATIVES SHOWED ENTHUSIAST.
Third Anniversary Of Raising the Flag
in Tutuila.


Fitafitas headed the list of events at the
recent celebration in Tutuila of the third
anniversary of the raising Of the American
flag in that island, says Commander Under
wood, commandant of the Tutuila navai
station. in a report received at the Navy
Department today from Pago Pago. This
consists of a native guard drill and silva
dances by native organizations. Natives
from all over the islands assembled at
Pago Pago to witness the sports ana
showed great enthusiasm. The day-Aprii
17-was made general holiday.
Accompanied by the secretary OF natlve
affairs, Commander Underwood recently
proceeded in the gunboat Wheeling TO Iua'
of the Manau group, where he held con-
ference with District Governor Tuinahaua
and his principal chiefs, to whom he COM
municated the message of interest ana
sympathy to the Samoan people sent them
by President Roosevelt.
''The feeling in this district toward the
government is OF a; friendly character.
says Commander Underwood The hurrl-
cane of January i, and, to greater de-
gree, that of the middle of February, have
caused considerable damage. The church at
Ofu. the largest of the six native churches
in the district, was partly unroofed. over
twenty-five native houses in the group were
brown down, and the government BOAT
houses" Hurricanes severely damaged the
crops blowing down cocoanuts, breadfoods
and bananas and uprooting many or the
trees Because of the scarcity of copra, the
drv kernel of the cocoanut, in which taxes
are paid, a reduction I'm Taus assessment
will be necessary. Underground crops are
reported in good condition, but the scourge
of the caterpillar is continually feared.
Acting Secretary Darling of the Navy
Department has made arrangements with
the Secretary of Agriculture for the deliv-
cry of q quantity of seeds and plants suit
able for cultivation in Tutuila, in exchange
for seeds and plants occurring in that new
island possession Of the United States which
the Department OF Agriculture may desire
for introduction elsewhere.

ORDERED TO THE EAST
THREE CRUISERS TO BE ADDED TO
THE ASIATIC STATION.
The Cincinnati, Albany and Raleigh
to Be Detached From the
European Squadron.

Orders have been issued to Rear Admi. IL
Cotton, commanding the European station,
to send the protected cruisers Cincinnati,
Albany and Raleigh of the European fleet
to Asia by way Of the Suez canal as soon
as possible. These vessels are now at VILE
franche. and will make the cruise to Asia
under the command Of Commander John A.
Rodgers of the Albany, the senior officer of
the small fleet. The cruiser New Orleans,
now on the Asiatic station, is of the same
type as the three vessels just assigned to
that station. and it is proposed to organize
ice in Asiatic waters.
The early detachment Of these three pro-
tected cruisers from the European fleet will
reduce that fleet to the flagship Chicago
and the gunboat Machias, to which will
shortly be added the cruiser San Francisco
now in West Indian waters 1t is probable
that the fleet which will visit the German
port OF kfel will be confined to these three
vessels. 1t is designed to substitute the
armored cruiser Brooklyn for the more an
tiquated cruiser Chicago as flagship of the
European station, but the change is not
tafnly not in time for the projected visit to
kiel If that is made during the coming
summer.
On the occasion of the recent return Of
the PRESIDENT OF france to Vfllefranche
from visit to Algiers the ships Of our
European squadron participated in the nav
al demonstration IN honor of the French
president. Emperor Williams invitation
to this government to send a battle ship
squadron to Kiel caused an unfortunate
misunderstanding in Germany. At that
time our ships were engaged in evolutions
In home waters. the original plan to send
a part of the North Atlantic fleet on
European cruise was abandoned, and it was
then fmpracticable to accept the kaisers
invitation. Now that the ships of the
European squadron are available it has
been practically settled that they shall visit
kiel.

CASE OF CURTIS JETT.
Man Arrested Charged With Murder Of
J. B.: MarcJim.

LEXINGTON. KY, May 11.-Since the
arrest of Curtis Jett in Madison county
Sunday morning, charged with the murder
of ]. B. Marcum, a grave problem confronts
the prosecution which may require a spe-
cial session of the legislature to solve. I'm
der the law Jett would be taken back to
jackson, the scene of the crime, for trial
unless he requests that he be taken else
where. He has asked to be taken to jack
son, and will therefore have to go. If he
goes to Jackson 1t is contended that the
feeling is such that justice would be de-
feated.
well-defined movement is on foot to
delay the removal of Jett to Jackson until
1t is ascertained what steps can be taken
to avoid 1t under the law. If the law offers
no relief it is stated here that the governor
will be asked to call a special session of
the legislature to change the law
