UNCLE SAM WILL CALL ON THE CZAR TO SETTLE SAMOA EXPEDITION TROUBLE Further Details Show That a Russian Transport Put the Cossacks Aboard the Vessel, SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 11.—The trou- .| bles of the Siberian gold mining expedi- tion, under the command of George D. Roberts, that left San Francisco on the Samoa in June, and which ended disas- trously to the promoters, will in all like- lthood be transferred .5 Uncle S8am’s care. The Call this morniug published the story of the Samoa's troubles. Further details of the affair have been received from Nome. The vessel was placed in charge of American soidiers and the sen- ional situation was investigated by Colonel Evans and Lieutenant Jarvis of the Treasury Department. As a result of this investigation the Cossacks will' be ; sent back to Russia, while the Americans will return to San Francisco in the Sa- moa. The affair will be reported to the authorities at Washington and corre- spondence probably opened with the Rus- sian Government to ascertain what Rus- sia’s future position will be in regard to American concessionists. Last winter George D. Roberts, a for- mer California mining man, visited the large European cities, interesting French ind English capital to prospect the const of Siberia. Pooling issyes with a Russian syndicate, represented by Colonel Woular- larsky, a concession was secured from the Russian Government of 10,00 miles of coast. The steamer Samoa was purchased and the expedition outfitted in San Fran- cisco. ‘Among those composing it were Roberts, the organizer; Mr. Dadoune- dlich. a 'civil engincer representing Woul- arlarsky; John A. White, a London capi- talist, and a corps of mining experts. The Americans aboard numbered eight. The Samoa, Captain Johnson, left San but the Americans Qutwitted Them. + Special Dispatch to The Call Francisco June 8, arriving at No: v 6. After a few days the veasel safled tov the Siberian coast. Two weeks later she was again at Nome, and there was talk of dissensions between Roberts and Da- douneditch. The rumors, however, could not be authenticated and the Samoa again put to sea. She returned to Nome for [h;- [lhhl-d xlms on August 21. t is learned that when the Samoa was off the coast of Siberia the Russian 3ran‘;- port Yakout was sighted and hailed and at the instance of Dadouneditch thirty Russians were transferred from the transport to the Samoa. Dadouneditch sald the Russians were laborers, but as soon as they were aboard he volunteered the information that he had now thirty armed Cossacks at his back and proposed to depose Roberts as head of the. expedi- tion. He also disclosed the tact that not only was he the representative of the Russian syndicate but also an agent of the Russlan Government and that the Cossacks aboard were soldiers, Then it was that the Americans learned that the Rusefans proposed to control the Samoa and dispose of the Americans. After consultation the America deter- mined to meet force with force. As long as the vessel was in Russian waters they were helpless, and Captain Johnson was compelled to make a show of obeving Dadouneditch’s orders. The Americans armed themselves that night, and while a majority of the Russians were asleep posted themselves in positions of advan- tage. Two armed men were placed on the bridge, one at the bow, another at the stern and others took their stand at such places es offered good opportunity for effective shooting. The Samoa was then headed for American waters, ‘When Dadouneditch learned that he had been outwitted he was furious, but by that time the vessel was bevond Russian the resolute Americans, asserted his full authority as commander of the steamer and headed for Cape Nome, where on arrival he turned the Russlans over to the American soldiers.

JAPANESE AND CHINESE ASK HEAVY DAMAGES Claims Aggregating $2,500,000 Pre- sented for Burned Property Dur- ing Plague Scare in Hcnolulu. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1L—Claims ag- gregating $250000 or more have arisen in connection with the efforts made prin- | cipally in Hawail to prevent the bubenic | plague from securing a foothold in this country and its outlying possessions by burning down a considerable part of the Japanese and Chinese quarters, where it was thought the disease might find lodg- ing. Two Japanese residents are said to have lost_their lives, furniture and practically The loss is est Chinese loss was e: 00.000. The Japanese Consul General at Hawail first brought the mat- ter to the attention of the Hawalian au- thorities, asking that the losses incurred by Japanese subjects be reimbursed to them. President McKinley gave the neces- sary rnor Dole to ap- point a commission of five members to pass upon all claims of this nature, but on objection of the claimants this fell through. The authorities here feel that it is a matter which Hawail should ad- ust, and moreover there is no fund avail- able for such losses. The subject is un- der consideration, however. and it is hoped some means may be adopted by co- operation of Washington and Honolula for adjusting the matter. —_— Arrested for Murder. ST.
