THE SAMOAN TROUBLE.
Efl‘orts to Settle the Kingship Dispute—-
Powers Io Hold Conference.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 21.--The
state department is directing: all its
efforts in the Samoan matter to' the
use of lawful and regular means to
settle the kingship dispute. In fact,
it was its insistence uponthe compli-
ance of all of the parties to the tri-
partite treaty with the terms of that
document so long as, it stood unde-
nounced and unamended that has
made its position so strong legally at
this juncture.
There is still a lack of official reports
upon the details of the events at Apia.
A brief statement of these events has
reached the department through the
United States agent at San Francisco.
but so far as can be gathered it is not
yet known just Why Chief Justice
Chambers decided that Mataat‘a. the
German candidate fonthe succession
to the throne of Samoa, was ineligible.
It is suspected here that the decision
was based on the use of improper .in-
fluences by outside but interested par~
ties in the election of the king.
That, if established, would be suffi-
eient to disqualify Mataafa under the.
strict terms of the treaty, which ex-
pressly provides for an untrammeled
choice by the natives accordng to their
own established customs.
The navy department’s orders to the
Philadelphia did not go out to Admiral
Kautz until yesterday. They were in
the shape of instructions to take on a.
full supply ot coal and make ready for
a. cruise to Samoa.
There was not an explicit order to
start, but simply to make ready for
the voyage.
If the admiral, as reported in the
press dispatches, finds that his ship's
bottom is so foul through her cruise
in southern waters as to be unfit for
the voyage to Samoa, he probably will
be authorized to use divers to clean
the hull, for the department has de-
cided that the ship should not be sent
to the Mare Island navy yard to be
fitted out.
It is stated here that it must be pre-
sumed that whatever overt action was
taken by the German consul in Apia.
was not with the knowledge or consent
of his sovereign, but rather was taken
.on his own account, and that such ac‘
tion, should it be found to amount to
an unjust usurpation of authority un-
der the treaty, will be promptly disa-
vowed by the German government. It.
is: believed that the conference of the
three powers will be held at Berlin and
at an early date.
