MANuAN CHIEFS GIVE DEED.
Sign Document Acknowledging Sow
ereientv Of the United States.

A mail report received at the Navy De-
partment today from Commander Under
wood, naval governor at Tutuila. an
nounces that the native chiefs of the island
of Manua have acknowledged the sover-
eighty of the United States over that
island. This they did in the form of a
deed. which Commander Underwood in
closed with his report.
This is not regarded by officials here as
a cession of a governmental character, but
mainly as an acknowledgment of sover-
eighty, as the United States already owned
the island of Manua, having come into
possession of it under the agreement en-
tered into between the United States, Great
Britain and Germany at the time Of the
division of the Samoan group. and this
government already had established sover
eighty over Manua among the rest Of the
territory falling to the United States. Com
mander Underwood recommends that the
territory owned by this government be call
ed American Samoa. He also recommends
that the chiefs Of Manua be presented with
medals or watches as were the Tutuilan
chiefs when they acknowledged the sover-
eighty of this government in Samoa

SEIZURE OF BIRD ISLAND.
Integrity Of the Monroe Doctrine De-
clared to Be Unaffected

The State Department has nothing be-
fore 1t but newspaper reports touching
The reported hosting of the British flag
by the ii. NJ. S. Tribune on Bird or Avis
Island. about 120 miles northwest of
Dominica. in the Leeward group But fol-
owing it's invariable rule in all such
cases the department will make inquiry
into the facts. though this will take some
time. 1t is said that the island is nothing
more than rock covered with guano,
and under the infiexibie laws OF the sea
any nation finding such iSlet may oc-
cupy IL long enough to carry off the gu
ano. There is not the slightest sugges-
ton in the minds of the officials that the
integrity of the Monroe doctrine has been
affected in this affair.
