News not unexpected was received
at Apia on Saturday, March It), that
an outbreak had taken place be
tween the advanced division of the
Aanaor rebel party and the p oplo
of 1'a.T.aleaga, Savaii, who were
understood to be supporter of the
Government. Ily the excitement
produced in ollicial circles the Her
ald judges that the Government had
not expected a collision so oon.
While n "fouo," or council, was be
ing held over the new by the Presi
dent of the Municipality of Apia,
Chief Justice lde and the Consuls,
confirmation of the news arrived in
the ghastly form of two men wound
ed in a terrible manner. An hour
Inter another party arrived, bringing
with them the head of a chief of
h'asitoo named Tuifaga, who had
Ih'kii slain by the (ioveriimnt party.
oiiiiiin or nil. iuMi.li r
Accounts differ as to the begin
ning of the light, but the following
is one of them Ivirlv in tho morn
ing of that day Ke, a chief of Vaifa,
in Iva, accompanied by two little
boys, went into the hush at the rear
of Saleiiuoa, in the vicinity of which
the people of Savaii (loyal) had
formed a camp. Their oliject was
to gather loaves and firewood for
the purpoi of preparing their food.
While engaged in so doing they
were suddenly tired upon by some
Aana men who were concealed in
the bush, and ICo was killed, and
both boys slightly wounded. The
lattor managed to escape, but He,
us tiaual in Samoau warfare, was im
mediately deprived of his head. Al
most immediately a narty of Faas.v
leleaga men who had heard the fir
ing rushed into the bush, and great
ly to their surprise stumbled upon a
fort occupied by Aana people,
A sharp Hkirmish took place, dur
ing which another Savaii man was
killed and decapitated, and three
others wounded. Six of the Aana
men were wounded. Tuifaiga n
wounded slightly in the leg and
brought into tho Savaii cnuip when,
after a fono being held, it was de
cided that his head should be taken
oir, and this was done at once.
Oho of the wounded Aana men,
Taua'au, has since died. Doth parties
'thou retired, one body of fourteen
men buing despatched to Apia with
their two badly wounded comrades
of tho Government party, whilst au
nt hor largo crowd came away with
tho head of Tuifaiga, with a viow of
presenting it to the King.
N'o preparations wore made to re
ceive tho wounded at Apia, and they
woro taken to a native house, whoro
they received surgical attention.
ICov. Messrs. Clarke and Goward,
with Mrs. Clarke and Miss Large, of
the Loudon Mission Society, speedi
ly found better quartern for the
wounded and gave thorn nursing.

ollowing day (Sunday), and the
principal topic of discussion was
what action tho people of Atua
would tako. It was conlidently as
serted that they would arrive to
support the Government, lint very
fow people holiowid in this story,
and on tho following day when it
was learned that the people of Atua
wished tho.o of Tuamasaga to pro
coed to Anna and leave them (Alua)
lo guard tho Municipal district, sus
picions of treachery were aroused,
and tho Consuls hold a meeting
with tho President and Chief Jus
tice, after which tho following pro
clamation was issued:

ALAHM AT Al'l.
l-citement was strong at Apia on
Tuesday, as n decisive battle was ex
pected Sympathizers with the Gov-
, eminent were alarmed lest the torn
porary victories of the rebels would
bring them considerable acce.'.sions.
The Aana people hud lost two killed
and four wounded, whilst tho at
tacking party had (o report six
killed ami a largo number wounded.
That uiglit their were eleven
wounded in tho Mission hospital at
Apia, and it was said two boats had
gone to Savaii with wounded, to be
treated by Dr. Davis. L'p to that
time six people had lost their heads,
one of tho rebels ami and live of the
Savaii people. There was no light -
i ing on Wednesday. The Saaii poo

No lighting was reported on
Thursday. On Frhliy great ecito

, Ihe people of Fale'ab'li ami A lei pat a
, had gone out with the iule.tion of
lighting against tho Government

the other portions of tho Atua dis
trict intended to come to Muliiiiiu
, and make certain demands, and if
thoi-o demands were not complied
with, thoy would uyike nu attack.
It was understood that tho demands
1 comprised a complete pardon for tho
1 people of Anna for their lato con-
duet, and the release or all political
prisoners and the return of Matanfa
j and tho other exiled chief. Au

i It was lenorted thai tho act of
taking the head of Tuifaiga was of
more than usual brutality. When
brought into camp ho was but
slightly wounded, but it is assorted
that his arms were lirst lopped on",
mid afterwards his head. The Her
ald is inclined to discnetil llinslori-

I side paid the slightest attention to
I tho lieail-cutliiiL' ordinance. Tui

Apia to bo presented to'tho King.

It is asserted by the Herald that.
only two or three days before the
fnt fight, tho Anna parly received a
I largo number of cartridges, having
spent upon them a sum of $H;(M.
J money tlmy had received on account
of claims before the Laud Comtuis-
I siou. The Herald says if this I a 'go
supply had not been obtained by the
Aana people, the lighting would not
have taken place, as their supply
was completely exhausted. It urge's
' an investigation.

l'apers of .March 21 contain re
ports of a great battle at Satupuala,
in which the Government troops
', were victorious. This had happen
ed on the previous Monday (I'.llh).
, On Sunday a woman had arrived
from Atua, saying that the people
1 thorn had their answer ready. It
was to the oh"oct that if the ('oimuls
did not want lighting within the
municipality, thny must exert their

An article in tin H.iiiio.nn Times
occasioned considerable amn.eiueut.
It criticised the abruptness with
which the ordinance against behead
tug the lalleu in battle had been
promulgated. The custom was an
ancient one, which could not be
suddenly abandoned, and it was a
convenient means for a warrior to
prove his valor to his chief. His
word might not go, don't you see,
that ho was in tho bait oat till, but
with tho head of his victim in hand
j there was no
gaiusayiiiu his able
service. Aiiionget others who came
o.it against tint article was Uolierl
Louis Stovciipnn.

last night torunoneor both of I hose
gentlemen down. The ipiest was
successful with regard to Mr. Cham
bers. No passeugeis were registered
at the Hawaiian Hotel up till after
8 o'clock when tho book was in
spected, and nobody attached to the
house knew of tl e piesence of oil Iter
gentleman. Acting, however, ou
what proved to be a loose descrip
tion of Mr. Chambers by a fellow
pnssongci, tho news-seeker after a
live minutes' hunt found that gen
tleman coated close by tho top of the
main steps. He responded pleasant
ly to the introductory ipiestiou:
"Well, it is rather hard to give
you the true iuwnrduoi-s of any war
in Samoa, it is so unlike anything
heard of anywheio else in the way
of warfare."
"The Apia papers publish theories
that the light is only a local tribal
quarrel!" the reporter aid interro
gatively. "Of course it suits the authori
ties," replied Mr. Chambers, "lo re
present it as only a local quarrel.
The Atua neonle want to nmlte
I Taniahe.se king. He is a son of the
old king who was deported. Tama
seso is tho head and center of the
disiillcctiou, hut stiil there is no
doubt tho authorities are a good
deal to blame.
"When the previous trouble, about
niue mouths ago, happened -the
time I hat Mabetoa was shipped
away -tho Chief Justice, a Vermont
man, did something ho would never
hav-t alteuiptcd todo the like of in
Ids own country. He promised a
number of the rebel chiefs a safe
conduct if thev would come up to
Apia and explain their grievances.
They look his word and camo up,
when they were ai rested and con
victed, and all of thorn heavily lined.
Now, what would you call a safo

stop forward in making tho law re

king deserves much credit for it.

an idea of how tho work dragged,
when 1 arrived in Samoa only 1700
out of !!!lo0 laud claims had boon ad
justed, while two and a half out of
the three years allotted had el.inanil.
My predecessor was Governor Onns-
I. " t yr i
uee oi tt'riuuui.
"1 lie Commission has now restor
ed hundreds of thousands of acrosof
land to natives, from whom it had
been taken under claims set up by
foreigners. An idea of tho grasping
disposition of foreigners may bo had
from the fact that tho land claimed
bv them amounted to two million
(,L7X)o,0M) acres, whilo tho total
amount of laud in tho whole group
is only nine hundred thousand (SKX),
0(H)) acres.
"About 2(X,000 acres will bo do
cided in favor of foreign claimants,
and 700,IXX) will go back to tlio na
tives. Being tho law partner of
Secretary Herbert of tho Navy, lam
in a position to say that the United
States Government is anxious to
have tho claims settled. AH that
the United States Government
claims is very small only a fow
acres around tho odgo of Pango
1'ango harbor. That is whoro wo
have the right to a coaling station.
It is tho finest harbor I ovor saw. If
tho Nic-iragua Canal goos through,
Pango-Pango will bo ouo of tho
most important ports in tho Pa
cific." "How does Chief J list ice Ido com
pare with his Swedish predecessor,
Uaro'i Codercrantz?"
"Oh, ho is a vory largo improve
ment, on Codorcrantz. Ho is a vory
able, judicious and fair-minded man,
and was greatly wolcomod by natives
as well as foreigners,
"This tripartite protectorate is not
a success. What Samoa needs is n
strong one-ninn-powor."
Mr. Chambers was asked if thoro
was anything in tho report that an
English syndicate was negotiating
for the purchase of tho largo Ger
man plantation near Apia, with, in
the ovont of success, a probability of
a solo British protectorate.
"Yes, tho matter is still n topic of
discussion in Apia. It would bo a
good thing if it came about that
way. Uritish control would soon
end all tho native troubles."
Mr. Chambers branched oh to tho
Hawaiian situation ami became to
some extent tho interviewer. Ho
said ho had visited tho American
Minister here. Mr. Willis, and was
pleased to mid
that the Minister
was tnkiiitf A rather cheerful viow of
I Hawaiian alfairs. Although Mr.
I mount was a relative of his by mar
ringo and a statesman ho had always
admired, he considered that his re
port on the Hawaiian situation was
onesided and without the impar
tiality that should have been ex
pected. Mr. Chambers said, how
ever, that ho considered the position
t'1" Ht-'M.r.m had taken throughout
was quite proper, in holding out
. against me cuaugo 01 government
i whilo the case of Hawaii is pending
before the United States Govern
ment. Before leaving Aiiia -the local
, linns and not himeli being the in
1 formaiit -Mr. Chambers was loaded
I with evidences of high ollicial nud
private esteem for tho ability with
which ho discharged his duty. lie
was given a dinner at the Tivoli
Hotel, attended by Chief Justice
lde, the Consuls of the three Pow
ers, his eo Commissioners and the
leading merchants. Mr. Haggard, a
brother of the famous novelist if
memory is correct, occupied tho
chair. Expressions of tho warmest
admiration of Mr. Chambers in pri
vate life and commendation for tho
value of his ollicial services charac
terized tho addresses delivered.

As this is the beginning of
the close season in grinding
cane it becomes the duty of
the economical manaeers of
the sugar plantations to selt ct
implements ior nronarmp; tue
ground for planting. If labo
saving means money getting
animal saving must trend in
the same direction. If you can '
get a plow that will do the
work of six or eight horses it
means a saving ol horse llesh
as well as a saving of tin; time
of the man who handles the i
stock, the two together means i
a saving of money. From '
what we know of the I Iendry j
Double Furrow and the Hen
dry Breaking Plows this saving
can be made through their use.

Dear Sir-
I beg herewith to add my
name to your list of testimo
nials in praise of your 1 Iendry
During an experience of 16
years in tne cultivation ol cane
on these Islands I can truth
fully say, that yours is the only
plow that I have seen that will
turn a furrow completely over,
under any conditions.
Another point wherein it .w
cels is, the shape of the mould
board is such that the plow '
will clean itself, not continu
allv. but sav everv 3cto or -an
! feet, which obviates the neces
i sity of stopping the team; this
J makes a very favorable sliow
I ing in the course of a day's

While one portion of the ,
laborers are tilling the soil
others are repairing old fences
or building new ones. In either
case the Jones Locked Fence ,
materials are the most econo
mical to use. One stay and
five washers cost a trille under
eight cents and they take the
place of a post which costs all
the way from thirteen to nine
teen cents and are double the
trouble and not half so service
able as the Jones method. If
you are repairing an old fence
we will sell you the stas and ;
washers, or if you want to
build an entire new fence you I
can get better rates on Plain ,
or Barbed Galvanized or Black
Fence Wire from us than any
where else. When j 011 have
made your fence you will have
one in which the wires do not
sag and you will save fifty dol
lars a mile in building. 'Read

ranch. I had about a mile to
construct over "pahoehoe,"
where it was nearly impossible
to get a post down, and found
in this case especially the
"Jones Fence" was a great
saving of labor. There art
places in this fence wln-re the
, c
posts are at least 75 leet apart,
and the space between filled

witn staj s. I here is no say to
it, and it is as springy as a wire
mattress. I am confident that
it will turn any ordinary stuck.
I have some two and a hall
miles more to construct over a
country where wild cattle .in-
very plentiful, and

If it will turn the slock on
this part of the l.iud, and I
feel confident it will, you can
rest assured that it will turn
most an) thing, nxcept a lava
flow.
Vory truly yours.
