FORMER KING OF
SAMOA DEAD.

LEVuKA, Fiji, February 15.-Word
was received here today that Mataafa,
former king of Samoa is dead. His
death has been expected for some time.
He will be succeeded as native king Of
Germany's principal Pacific possession
by Chief Tamasese.
King Mataafa came mighty near
making history in his time. 1t was he,
while at the head of band fighting
against the the then ruling monarch
that almost set the United States, Ger
many and England to war over the ISL
land and it was not until King Oscar
of Sweden made his famous decision
on the case that trouble was finally
averted. Mataafa was three times
king of Samoa. He was the beloved
chief of the people and but for the for
eign Intervention would have died as
monarch of the island.
The dispute arose out of the con-
certed action of Rear Admiral Kautz,
of the American navy, Captain Sturdy,
of the British navy in landing com
bined force at Apia, April /, 1899. for
the purpose of breaking up the forces
of Mataafa who were then in rebellion
against the recognized government.
Philip Landslide, first officer of the
Philadelphia, Ensign j. r. Monaghan
and two enlisted men of the American
party were killed. Lieutenant Freed
man and two sailors from the British
warship were also slain. The United
States ship Badger was rushed to the
spot, carrying an international COM

PINEAPPLE CANNERY
FOR H0MESTEADERS

A pineapple cannery for the Kappa,
Kauai, homesteaders is now in prospect,
negotiations being under way whereby
it is expected that they viii have one
when their crops are ready. Governor
Frear said yesterday that efforts were
being made to arrange for cannery,
and also that there were a number
more homesteaders likely to settle on
the lands soon. OF the thirty-fve lots
offered, thirty-three are now occupied.
"We are planning for more open
ings in this region,' said the Governor.
"The Kappa lands, having been filed
up as they have, show the benefits Of
one of the amendments recently made
in the land laws. Under the old sys-
tenn the government advertised lands
for settlement ali~at once, and if the
section advertised was not all taken,
at the start, nothing could be done with
portions that were left until they were
advertised all, over again. Often such
lands would lie idle for years.
"Under the amendment made, when
the lands are once advertised, we can
apportion them, at not less than the
advertised price, to any suitable per
sons who apply. This means that we
can satisfy applicants as they come
along, and that is what we have been
doing.
"There have been many homestead
ers settled in this way, aside from those

PRESIDENT FORMALLY OPENS CAMPAIGN
BUREAU WITH MCKINLEY in COMMAND

WASHINGTON, February 10. The
national Taft bureau Will open here
today the actual campaign of the Pres
sident for reelection. Congressman Nc
Kinley of Illinois has been selected as
the director of the bureau and the prac-
teal manager of the Taft boom for re-
nomination. The bureau is fully or
gained and will begin work immedi-
ately.
This announcement, taken in connec-
ton with statement made by Senator
, La Toilette, in which the senator from
Wisconsin declares that reports to the
contrary, he is not going to withdraw
from the race for the Republican nomi-
nation at the convention, indicates that
there are going to be some lively times
in the capital this coming spring and
summer. Senator La Toilette is report
ed to be fighting desperately to retain
SUM uOASS"t0S oS oAo PiSuSeu W hiS
support.
But his assertion that he intends to
.be considered factor in the race un-
til the national convention counts him
out or in, is dwarfed in Importance by
the announcement, sensational in the
extreme, made by the Roosevelt Ma
tional Committee, and signed by Me-
dill Mccormick. This statement, which
bears some of the ear marks of the ex-
President style, declares that the Taft
administration has embarked upon a
policy of political suicide" Roosevelt
has never openly admitted the right
of the national committee that goes
under his name to speak for him, but

clare when elected that when the time

CAPTAIN P|LTz
DENIES REPORT

Captain Piltz of the cable company's
schooner Flaurence Ward yesterday
afternoon denied emphatically a story
given some prominence in an afternoon
paper yesterday to the effect that he
was to be pilot of the cable repair
steamer Restorer when the latter goes
to mend the cable near Midway.

porter came to ask me about it, said

to be done. l am captain of the Flau-
renee Ward, and don't know anything
at all about the Restorer's business OF
the cable business except as it has to
do with my vessel"
According to the report, however, the
Flaurence Ward will be laid up here
during the time when the Restorer is
working on the broken cable, and Piltz
will go along as pilot to assist the Re-
storer captain.
An error was made in the published
report as to the price of cables to
Yokohama when sent around the world
via San Francisco, as they have to Jbe
sent while the cable is broken betW en-
Midway and Guam. The correct figure
is $2.l9 per word and not 1919 as given.
