The Rebels Greatly Ontnuinbered the Bluejuckcts—Loss of the Enemy Not Iinown. but I-Ienvy—Alnericans and British Lose Seven Men. APIA. Samoa, April 4, via Auckland, N. 73., April 13.—As the result of an am- bush of Mataafa warriors on a G.1 man plantation 105 American .1nd B1itish sailms were forced to rel1eat to [he beat-.11 leaving three officers and? tom sailors dead upon the field. The ofliceis killed were Lieutenant Lansdale and Ensign Monahan 'of the cruiser Philadelphia and Lieutenant Freeman of the British cruiser Tau- ranga. The. following is the story of the en— gagement: On April 1 a force of 214 British and Americans and 150 friend- lies was surprised in ambush at the German plantation of Vaslele. The - rebel force opened fire on the rear, left flank and front of the Anglo-American force. The friendlies bolted, but the marines and bluejackets stOod their. ground splendidly, Americans and Brit- ish firing shoulder to shouldel. The Colt automatic gun with the lead- ing party became jammed, and the Americans and British were practically at the mercy of the rebels. But the “re- treat” was sounded three times before the marines and bluejackets retired. Lieutenant Angel H. Freeman, first lieutenant of the Tauranga, who was in command of the allied force, was shot through the heart. Lieutenant Philip V. Lansdale of th United States cruiser Philadelphia had his leg shattered while endeavoring to fix the jammed gun. Seaman Hunt of the British cruiser Porpoise had an extraordinary escape. He remained with Lieutenant Lansdale . REAR ADMIRAL KAUTZ. until clubbed over the head andknock- ed senseless. The bluejacket revived as the natives were cutting off his left car. At this juncture a shell from the British cruiser Royalist burst on the battlefield. scaring the rebels, and Hunt succeeded in escaping to the beach, although se- verely stabbed in one foot. The same night the friendlies found the bodies of all the officers, hen dless. The bodies were buried with all honms at Mulinuu on Easter Sunday. Their heads were subsequently brought in by some priests, and the graves were re- opened and the heads buried with the bodies. Lieutenants Freeman and Lansdale \leie capable and p'opu1a1 officers. The foxmer was single, and the latter \\ as married in June. The officers who returned are Lieu- tenant George E. Cave of the Porpbise and Lieutenant C. M. Perkins of the Philadelphia. All behaved splendidly. Lieutenant Cave took command of the retreat. Captain Sturdee of the Porpoise was away on an expedition with his cruiser, and Gaunt’s brigade was also absent on duty. but probably 50 of the rebels were killed-i and many were wounded. The bodies of1 three rebels were found near the spot where Lieutenant Lansdale and Ensign Monahan of the Philadelphia were killed. Admiral Kautz, Captain E. White of the Philadelphia and the American men and officers generally have won golden opinions, as have Captains Stu- art and Sturdee of the British navy. They are doing everythinv possible, and every one recognizes 'etter men could not be handling the situation. The Samoans say Mataafa on three occasions had resolved to surrender, but the German consul, Herr Rose, advised him not to do so, and he now says he never will give in, but will fight to the . death. Washington: Officials Not Alarmed. WASHINGTON. April 13.—The acute situation in Samoa gave rise to grave apprehension among officials early yes~ terday in Washington, but the conclu- .Sion was reached as the departments closed that the situation is one that will yield to sensible and cool treatment if all the parties to the Berlin treaty are sincere in an effort to pi-event fur- that trouble. As put by a cabinet offi- ‘cer,. the killing of the sailors has not materially changed the general prob- lem, though it has undoubtedly added to the difficulty of dealing with the spe- ' The only official news received touching the last incident was contained in Admiral Kautz’s cable- gram. The secretary said that no ad- ditional instructions were to be sent by him to the admiral. The secretary of state, however, has,been told that he is at liberty to forward any instruction to the admiral that he may deem necessa- ry, but that if he concludes to do so he must act immediately, as the mail steamer leaves the nearest cable point for Apia today. _, ' Germany Would Avoid Irritation.

LONDON, April 13.——'I‘he 'Daily News, commenting editorially upon the latest news from Samoa, says: ‘/‘Ambush and mutilation of the dead are the ordinary incidents of savage warfare and ought not to provoke any special acts of reprisal. The case, how- ever, would be seriously. complicated —if it could be shown that the Germans actively aided or cour .selcd the enemy. Apart from that theie is nothing left to do but to keep cool and to huiry the joint commission.” The Daily Telegraph says: “We can derive a melancholy faction from the knowledge that for the first time since the war of inde— pendence British and American soldiers and sailors have fallen side by side in battle. But even this is a poor consola- tion in comparison with the complica- tions which events have added to an in- tricate problem. Justice bids us remem- ber that we are not yet in possession of the German version, and Emperor William, who has displayed such anx- iety to bring about an adjustment of . the difficulties, will be most deeply con< cerned.” Stine Constabulary Bill.‘ ALBANY, April 13.——The state con- stabulaiy bill, drafted in New York city principally by Judge William N. Cohen, was brought to Albany last night. It applies to cities of the fuel and second class—New Ybrk, Buffalo= Rochester, Syracuse, Troy and Albany. The bill was considered at a confer- ence of Republican senators from the cities affected and by Senator *Strana- ban, the chairman of the senate cities committee, and Senator Ellsworth. Aft- er the conference, which was concluded at midnight, Senator Ellsworth ex- pressed the opinion that every Repub- lican senator, with the exception of Coggeshali, would vote for the bill. This would mean that the bill would have the support of 26 Republican senators, just the number required to pass it. The bill establishes a department of state police, over which shall preside a commissioner of state police. to be ap- pointed by the governor, with the con- sent of the senate, and to hold office for six years. A deputy commissioner of state police and a secretary are also provided for. The police departments in tfle cities affected are abolished and the police forces therein brought under the control of the commissioner of state police. \leisky Men Must Leave.
