SANOA AGAIN 1N A FERMENT -~ Reports Brought from the Islands Are Not Very Encouraging. " SEVERE FIGHTING AMONG THE NATIVES - ™ » Arbitrary Action of Chiet Justice Ide Pro- vokes a Serious Rebellion—Forelgners In tho Islands Much Alarmed— Malictoa’s Loyalty and Cruelty. (Copyrighted 1894 by AUCKLAND, steamship Alameda the Associated Press.) Z., March from Samoa islands Jrings news of a most serious outbreak there which would seem to indicate that the United States, Great Britain and Ger- many will be called upon to take prompt uction. According to the reports brought here by the Alameda, the outbreak was caused by the action of Henry Ide, the American chief Justice, who succeeded Chief Justice Ceder- crantz on September 6, 1892, Chief Justice 1de is charged with fining and throwing into Jail the chiefs of the rival factions in Samoa and with compelling them to work on the roads like convicts of the lowest order. The natives protested strongly and made all kinds of threats, but the chief justice ap- pears to have disregarded the menacing a titude assumed by the Samoans and event- uallly the latter broke out Into armed re- “dliog, The followers ‘of the native chiefs dis- puted the right of the Europeans to inte fore in what they classed as purely native affairs, to the state of affairs by which the United States,” Great Britain and Germany, through | Chief Justice Ide, practically maintained a protectorate over Samoa. Eventually, however, the situation assumed | such a serious aspect that the chief justice was compelled to take teps to disarm the natives and the latter made preparations to resist this so-called Interference with their rights, The fighting began by the rebels killing a man in the employ of the government, who was caught near their camp. he reigning soverign, King Malietoa, seems o have remained thoronghly loy®l to the chief justice, for, upon being called upon to do s0, he promptly sent a strong force of his Samoan warriors to attack the rebels. Several sharp encounters between King Mal- fetoa’s warriors and natives commanded by the rebellious chiefs followed. During the wgagement thirty men were killed and about Bity wounded. Throughout the fighting, up to the time the steamship Alameda left Samoa, the ad- vantage was mostly on the governhent's side, the rebels being driven from their camp and foreed to retreat into the interior of thoe island, where it was dificult to pur- sue thel But the most serious break is that it has so that they are said to be to & general uprising. King Malletoa's troops are charged with having mutilated a prisoner who fell in their hand: with having burned the houses of inoffensi natives and with baving outraged a number of native women whose male relatives had taken part in the rebellion. The the king are also charged with a number of other atrocities, In which the beheading of feature enraged the natives the dead Is said to have been a common oc- | currence. The forelgn population of Samoa s in a Btate of the greatest uneasiness, as the Datives are making all kinds of threats 80.—The | while making no actual opposition | of the out- | taking steps looking ' terribly | troops of | against forelgners, -and - the arrival of a war ship of some nation is most anxiously awaited. '~ The foreign consuls are doing their utmost to prevall upon the rebels to submit, but up to the time the steamsnip left their efforts had proved fruitless, In considering the statements against Chief Justice Ide, the fact must not be lost sight of that they probably emanate from people Who are possibly cp- posed to the American representative, ond it is believed here that when the whole affair has been thoroughly sifted it will be found that the action of Chief Justice Ide has not been so severe as his enemies oas- sert. The Samoan islands consist of fen in- habited and two uninhabited islands in_the western Pacific, having an area of about 1,700 square miles and a population of about 36,000 A most distressing state of affairs prevailed in Samoa in 1882, the islands wer threatened with total bankruptey and desti- | tution. In April of that year the resigna- i tions of Chief Justice Herr Von Ceder- crantz and of the president of the mun pality of Apia, the capital. Herr von Pil- sach, were announced. Soon after this fighting between the rival forces of Malie- toa and Mataafa began, but the fighting was stopped by the intervention ships from the United States, Great Britain and Germany, and Mataafa finally surren- dered, and with ten of his chief supporters was banished to Kakaofo island, one of the Union group, and others of the rebels were fined and imprisoned. 2D THE BURLINGTON, made F L arged with Dolng a Little Bit of Secret Rate Cutting. CHICAGO, March 30.—The Burlington road was in hot water today at the meet- ing of the local association of western lines. Charges were made that it had sold two tickets from Chicago to St. Paul for $10.50 each, a cut of $1 from the regular, rate, and that on the day following this transaction | 1t s0ld four similar tickets for a total of $41, ! reduction of $1.25 on each ticket. It stoutly denies the charges, but the gswocia- tion levied a fine of $350, from which the Burlington appealed to the Western Passen- ger association All the western roads have voted to con- tinue the sale of Midwinter fair tickets by tween Chicago and the Pacific coast June 0. All obstacles to the complete restoration of rates between Chicago, Mi | souri river and California have been r moved, and all lines have agreed ther The ten days notice of restoration will be glven tomorrow.

(Copyrighted, 1804, by the Assoclated Press.) COLON, March 30.—It is reported here that Nicaraguans threaten to make a second seizure of the Mosquito reservation. An American citizen is said to have been shot by order of Acting Governor Rama. The British war ship Canada is waiting for a reasonable time at Bluefields in antici- pation of the arrival of the United States flagship San Francisco with Admiral Ben- ham on board. The situation of affairs at Bluefields sald to be most critical NEW ORLEANS, is March 30.—Two ve sels have arrived here from Bluefleld Nicarugua. United States Consul Seal and Mr. West from the latest advices will leave for Washington today. Mr. John McCafferty, a wealthy planter of Bluefields, in a letter to the Picayune after describing the occurrences in Blue- flelds during the temporary occupation by the British marines, says: “No sooner had the British marines been withdrawn and the vessel steamed away than the very unreliable and incapable Lacayo brought thirty soldiers and several boxes of arms and ammunition from Rama. This was in direct violation of an agreement entered into by and between Lacayo and the British consul in the presence of Hon. 8, C. Braida, United States consul, that Nicara- guan soldiers will neither be brought to Blueflelds, nor would Nicaraguans be put lice force during the absence of the British war ship. The presence of these Nicaraguans on the river steamer created great excitement. In less than ten minutes fully 10,000 citizens, Americans and creoles, were armed with, revolvers. It was a trylng moment. Owing, however, to the timely action of the United States con- sul, Lacayo was again brought to terms, binding himself this time to confine these intruders to his residence quarters. If one shot had been fired there would not have been a Nicaraguan left alive in Bluefields inside of thirty minutes thereafter, includ- ing Lacayo, who, beyond doubt, deserves to be shot for the many outrages he has perpetrated against the inhabitants of Blue- flelds and the Mosquito reservation. A general meeting of the .citizens then convened, when the action of mericans was endorsed, which was no assistance should be rendered to and that the Americans would remain neutral pending the arrival of a United States war ship, unless it should become necessary to defend thefr homes and prop- erty, when, even then, they would be di- rected by the United States consul must aflow that owing to the per- fildiousness of Lacayo and the hypocritical antagonism of the British consul, Hon. C, 8. Braida has been subjected to a most trying ordeal, and more especially as he bas recelved no instructions from either United States Minister Baker or the de- partment at ' Washington. However, Captain Zell, United States vice-consul, was the that Lacayo | as | | serlously injured, sailed from here on the 20th inst. for Washington, via New Orleans, as one of a committee of three appointed by the citi- zens of Bluefields, we feel that our govern- ment will be, on’ or before the 28th, fully informed on’ all matters+ connected with the unsatisfactory condition of affairs within _the Mosquito _reservation, and for which Lacayo is responsible. “While every true American must be in favor of the Monroe doctrine, the right, however, of the Mosquito Indians to controi themselves according to their own laws and customs within the reservation, as defined in the treaty of Managua, should also be en- forced by the government of the United States. For, if the government of Nicara- gua should now assume the direction of af- fairs at Blueflelds and the Mosquito reserve, the several growing Industries created and carried on by Americans, and in which millons are involyed, would at once be de- stroved by arbitrary taxation.” The Plcayune's special correspondent in Bluefields says that unless an American war ship reaches there shortly the interests of the country will suffer. “News has been received from Rama to the effect that Wil- liam Wilson, an American, was shot night by the governor of Rama,” he write: “Wilson died this morning. The governor, a Nicaraguan, refused to let a boat leave Rama last night with Wilson, who might have been saved if brought here for treat- ment. Great excitement prevails here this afternoon. One shot fired here would cause the death of every Nicauraguan in Blues flelds, We are awaiting the arrival of an American war ship. I have no time to se- cure further particulars, as the vessel will leave in a moment.”” The above is under date of March 23. prialias Ll DID WED THE DANCING GIRL.

PEORIA, March 30.—Boulard street on the west bluft was the scene of a horible accident today. One of the immense stand- pipes of the Peoria Water company col- lapsed with a deafening crash, heard in all portions of the city. The pipe has been leaking for a number of days, and today five men were set to work to repair it. Without a sign of warning the bottom sec- tion burst and the steel structure immedi- ately collapsed. There were a number of school children playing close by, and many of them, with some of the workmen, were hurled a con- siderable distance by the force of the water. Frank Hogan, aged 14, was Instantly killed, and several companions sustained injuries which may result fatall Three of the water company people were badly hurt, while two others were missed and presumed to be under the wreck. Two houses were completely wrecked by others were blown from their foundations and badly damaged. Barns and other small buildings were smashed. The best obtainable list of casualties footed up five dead and a dozen injured. The accident caused the wildest excite- ment throughout the city and the place was soon thronged with sightseers. The rescue is being carried on by the police and the ambulance crews and the fire department. Among the injured are: Warren Anderson, shoulder broken. Frank Caldwell, | and will have to be amputated.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30. bard, who is attorney for Edward Searles, and who was the representative of the Hop- kins interests in the Central and Southern | Pacific companies, said today that the sig- nificance in the nt changes in the Cen- tral Pacific directorate was more than any- thing else a pacification of the English shareholde The Examiner says: “It Is known that those gentlemen are violently protesting against the cutting off of their dividends and something had to be done to quiet their nerve: They objected to a contract con- summated by two boards of directors when the personnel of both was almost identical. They were surprised to learn that the di- cctors of the Central and Southern Pacific companies had been making contracts with themselves that disastrously affected the in- terests of so many outsiders. These com- plaints being heard, the personnel of the Central Pacific was agreed on so that no man shall be called on to serve both com- panies at the same time.” Touching the settlement of the bond question, the indebtedness of the Central Pacific to the United States and the govern- ment's ssumption of the first mortgage bonds by issuing new bonds to run twenty- five years, Mr. Hubbard said that nothing effective could be done b the company. Isaac Requa of the new directors, the Examiner says, is a_great personal friend of C. P. Huntington. J. O. B. Guun, the other director, 15 not known to have a large In- terest in the Central Pacific. It is stated that both these directors are merely automata, elected to do the bidding of Hunt- ington, The English shareholders have been making telegraphic demands for a more equitable consideration, and, in response to these demands, C. P. Huntington directed its in the new directorate to make alteration in the lease belween the Southern Pacific and Central Pacifie. *The Britishcrs, ays the xaminel asked that the provision for paying $1,300,000 in divi- to Central Pacific hareholders be | d in the lease. This demand w not | d to, but Mr. Huntingi is fond of a joke, has order the a clause which s the payment of $1,300,- 000 in dividends should be resumed as soon as the earnings of the Central Pacific com pany shall warrant such action.

LOANED BABY WHEELER CASH Estate Matter Handled in a Way that Oauses Great Dissatisfaction, regular IMPORTANT CASE IN PROBATE COURT Money of a Minor Helr Loaned to a Brother of Ex-Judge Eller and Secured by Mortgages on Land of Very Uncertain Value. The attention of Judge Baxter of the probate court was directed to the facts in a case of more than usual importance yesterday when he called a guardian upon the carpet to give testimony upon the subject of whether or not he had been true to his trust. Three years ago Burt G that time was the ste Wakeley's court, died, widow and a baby girl, days old. Shortly after this F. B. Me- Mullen, who. had been one of Burt G. Wheeler's schoolmates, —was appointed administrator of the estate and in March, 1892, he paid to J. W. Eller, who was then probate judge, the sum of $1,000, one-half ot Which was, by the court, turned over (o the widow, the balance remaining In court for the minor child, pending the appointment of a guardian. The mother and her little babe went to the old home at Clearfield, Ia,, and a few months later. the woman sickened and died, leaving a will, by the terms of which she bequeathed all her property to her child, and naming her brother, John M.
