ONLY 40 WITH
CHIEF SAM ON
THE LIBERIA
INSTEAD OF SEVERAL HUNDRED
AS HAD BEEN ANNOUNCED,
LESS THAN HALF A HUNDRED
ARE WITH HIM.

Instead of more than several hun
dred negro "ColonistS'' on the emf
grant ship Liberia, which will come
here today, there are less than fifty,
and there is no explanation offered
why Sam did not take the rest of
'his children to the land of milk and
honey. This is how the voyage start
ed. according to a Galveston paper,
The Tribune. of Thursday:
Chief Sam Is Off.
After weeks and months of toll and
eager anticipation had been spent by
several hundred of the followers of
Chief Alfr>d c. Sam, after faithfully
following the advice of him whom
they had chosen to lead them from the
land of oppression to the land of their
ancestors, where health, wealth and
happiness was to be their portion the
reward Of patience at last has fallen
on forty-nine of the number and the
steamship Liberia, the ship of Free
dom, which was bought last winter
by Sam to carry his believers to AZ
rica in, departed today fer Monrovia,
AKIN, Chama, Cape Coast, Salt Pond,
Appem, Winnebah. Accra. Quittah,
Addah, Sekondi and other ports of
Africa
ANO eA eAhdIldllOn was maze by Sam
before his departure to account for
the manner in which his "children," q
he was wont to call them. were left
behind, or rather why only 49 were
selected as fitted to accompany him
on the first voyage to the land Of milk
and honey. Sans followers have not
been idle here in Galveston, and they
are no worse off than they were when
they came, except for the numerous
contributions which they have made
to their chief in their zeal for the
colony. And 1t is safe to say that
their confidence still is unshaken and
that they will wait patiently for his
return, even though they wait until
they are gray with age.
For some time 1t has been thought
that Sam actually would take with
him two or three hundred of the ne
groes who have been waiting here
since last winter, and that he was
taking on large stores of building ma
terfals with which would be con-
structed the houses for the colony
A large quantity of lime. cement and
lumber was taken, but II Is consigned
to twelve different ports, in small con-
signments. There are on board a
small quantity OF farm implements,
some groceries, few Ipacka ges of sec
ond hand household goods, some hard
ware tents and hnoIeum, and two
gasoline launches.

JAPAN MAY NOT GIVE
OVER kIAO CHOW TO CHINA

Toxic, Aug. 22.-Japanese newspa-
pers, which some times are officially
inspired, say if Kiao Chow is to be a
prize of war, Japan may not be OBJ

state, would be conditional on the
peaceful transfer of Kiao Chow to
Japan by Germany.

Russo-Japanese wars. But II is re-
called that in the Napoleonic wars
against the allies of Europe, Napoleon
imposed forced indemnities on the
Italian provinces and also on the
pope. He enriched the Louvre by
taking the choicest treas sures from the
art galleries of cities taken.
The Hague conference at it's second
meeting showed distinct opposition to
such collections, but when it came to
reducing that sentiment to the form
of treaties, the subject was treated
rather vaguely and mainly with the
purpose Of safeguarding individual
property. Generally, it appeared that
there was prohibition in terms
upon local or municipal governments,
precisely as in the case Of the indem-
mites exacted from national govern
ments at the end of hostilities.

He walked through his class dispos-

sustain, without a whimper, the be-
laborings he gave them. He con-
fessed to his relatives and dearest
friends that his Australian excursion
was, on the whole, quite a success.
Returning to New York, few would
have known him as the soiled and tat

FIRING ONE SHOT

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Aug. 22-The correspon-

egram Company has sent in the fol-
lowing account OF the present situa-
tion at Liege which he obtained from
the Rotterdam Courant. which in turn
got the story from its correspondent
at Maachstricht:
The firing Of q shot from a prfvete
house on the Quisi des Pecheurs In
Liege yesterday was the signal for
widespread bombardment and arson
on the part Of the German army of
occupation. The situation Of the pom
ulation OF Liege become extremely
perilous. Immediately after the shot
was fired the Germans opened up with
THAR machine guns, destroyed twenty
houses and killed the inmates of ten
other houses
In addition to the war tribute of
s10.o00.000 levied upon the province
and city, an additional 100000 has

WAR TAX ON CITIES Is A
CUSTOM OF DISTANT PAST

Washington, Aug. 22.-Until the ex-
act conditions are known under which
a $4C,0o0,000 war tax is to be levied
upon Brussels by IT'S German captors,
it is not regarded as possible by the
international law experts here to pass
finally upon the legality Of that
method Of warfare. The practice of
levying such taxes uron conquered
communities, which was quite COM
mon IN most wars up to and fncIud-
ing the Napo1eonic era, has since that
time fallen into dcsuetude and no

The official statement continues:

French have gained gratifying sue

retire on Antwerp.

allies are believed to have gained

the Meuse.
II Is reported from Antwerp that
the Germans will not continue to oc-

merely with marching through the
