SanKkascinIan. lv^ -The steamer Alamandaarrived this morning fr^ m Aus^^tralia and New /eland via Samoa and^Honolulu. A correspondent at Apia, Sam^^oa, under dale of Jan. 5 says: ^The tnoet^serious state of affairs exists In Samoa. On^the niKht of December IK sailors from the^Herman men ^ t war Adler, olsa and Kber^attacked Mataafa* soldiers under direct nm^of the Herman Consul and Capt Kritz,^senior Herman naval officer. As a result^of the encounter . twenty two Herman^sailors were killed ami thirty-two wounded. Theyhave also tired upon the American^Hat; TainaHi-m- men wen* reported as be^^coming more dissatisfied daily, and there^wi-re frequent Jaaatttofll from his rank*. Itec || the Herman man-ot-war Olga ar^rived from the Marsvall islands, bringing^ihe deposed king Maietoa. On the nluht^ot Dec. Itf a large pariy ot Herman sailors^went ashore at Apia and entered the stores^and houses in search of Americans and^Knglishuien. They met ^ ieorge Seanlap, IInited state* marshal at Apia, and Morns^MiMier, also an American citl/en, on the^streets, and after provoking a quarrel,^stabbed both of them, Inflicting serious in^^jury. The Hermans then ran through the^streets, attacking all persons they met ex^cept Hermans and the adherents of Tama^sese, injuring, among others, several na^^tive women and children, some of Mat-^a u fas' soldiers came in from the bush and^were anxious to shoot, but retrained on the^advice of the I'nited States consul. ConsulKlacklock, Dec. 15, sent a pro^^test to the Herman consul, That night^Tamasese's secretary wrote to his wife in^Apia that the Hermans would attack a^tow u named Maiaafa*atle during thenight.^This town is two mllea above Apia, and a^number of Mataafa's men were there.^The woman told one of her relatives, who^in turn sent word to Mataafa's soldiers,^and before midnight 200 armed men had^atsemhled on the shore awaiting the ap^pearance of the H-rinan boat. Au Ahh-m^can newspaper man named John C^Klein accompanied Mataafa's tueu to^witness the proceedings tn the Interest^of his papers. A bout 2 o'clock^in the morning three Herman boats were^seen approaching. Matautu's men asked^Klein to notify the Hermans not to land, at^it would be regarded as an hostile act and^thev would be find upon. This was done^and two of the boat* pulled out towards a^village called Vailele, four miles from^Apia, The third boat kept along the^coaat and when opposite Mataafasatle^pulled straight into the shore. A Diimln-r^ot Herman soldiers arose from the bottom^of the boat and waded ashore. Some of^Mataafa's men came up and the Germans^i^^ ran shooting at them The na^^tives did not return the tire.^The Germans were soon landed and took^shelter behind some rising ground and at^once opened tire on Mataafa's men. With^in a minute two hundred shots had beeu^fired by tbe Germans and black laborers^employed on a Herman plantation. Ma^^taafa's reinforcement* began to arrive from^Malaatasatel, and a* they came up heavy^tiring was heard from the direction of^Vailele. In a few minutes a chief arrived^and said the Hermans were firing on Ma^^taafa's men there. They were afraid to^return the fire, although Chief Savay and^his son had already been killed. The^messenger asked Klein If they would be^ju-titied in returning the fire, but he ^|e^clined to advise then. The 1. tilted states^vice consul at Apia also refused to advise.^Shortly after the natives came into Apia^from Kaaeli and Vailele, saying Mataalaa'^men had driven the Herman sailors from^the breaat works at the former place. At^Vailele there were about a hundred and^fifty sailors. These were Joined by their^comrades from Kaaell and together they^formed a hollow square and began tiring on^Mataafas' men. soonafter two of the latter had been^killed they began to return the fire, thoot-^Ing from behind trees and from bushes.^The sailors became panic stricken and de^spile the efforts of their officers threw^away their guns and ran into the Herman^plantation houses and Into the bush.^They were followed by the natives, who^shot them wherever they found them^Lieut. Neiger, of the Olga, was shot and^killed while trying to rally his men. Two^other officers were wounded. A number of^sailors managed to make their escape by^jumping Into the boats and pulling out to^tea. They were picked up by the Kher^which had come up on hearing the firing.^The bodies of the dead tier man sailors^were taken off* the following day. Ma^faala's men retired without tiring on the^village or doing any further damage. At7 o'clock, Dec. ill, the German man^of war Adler left Apia, sending word to^the commander of the I'nited States war^^ship Nelpslc that the (terman consul was^going to saluafata to stop the lighting. The^Olga also followed to 1'atoga, where the^Nelpsic went and found the Herman ships^Adler and Kher cleared f^*r action. During^the morning Consul Klacklock receired a^note from the Gerurtii consul saying the^men-of-war were going to the coast to stop^the fighting and duanu Mataafa and Tam-^aseae. Blacklock proteated In the name of^the I'nited States against this action, which^would place the lives and property of^Am* rlrans in great danger, and was h o^in direct conflict with the powers conferred^upon him. Soon after the Nelpsic arriv.d^at Latoga and Captain Mullen went on^hoard the Adler to demand the German^consul's reason for having declared his in^^tention to stop the war without consulting^the consuls and said be would hold no com^^munication with an American naval cap^^tain and would be responsible i n y to his^government Soonafter Capt Mullen returned to his^ship the commander notified him he In^^tended to bombard Cacoja before dark. A^protest was sent and as the captain of the^Adler showed no inclination to notify Ma^^taafa to remove the women and children,^Capt Mullen sent one of his officers^ashore for that purpose. Tbe Adler bom^^barded the town the next morning and then^sent a force of sailors ashore who burned^tbe village, including two Koman Catholic^churches. On Dec. ]H Consul Knopfe sent^word to Mataafa that Qic German ships^would shell his village unless he came on hoardthe German man-of-war before, noon^of the 80tl^, and caused his people to give^up all i heir arms. Mataafa replied that he^was sorry the German sailors hail been^killed, but that the Samoau* intended to^tight for their liberty. Onthe afternoon of Dec. :m. the German,^American and KngtUh consuls met, hut^owing to the obstinacy of the Herman no^s dtlement was arrived a*. On the follow^^ing da^ Knopfe issued a proclamation or^^dering the Samoans to bring their firearms^on board the Olga during the day or the^villages would lie bombarded. I'nited^Matt s Consul Klacklock at once sent a pro^^test, informing the German Consul that^K U Hamilton, an American citizen,^owned three houses in Malaafatte, over^which the American Hag had been placed^and If this property was damaged the tier^man government would be held respoti^sible. No reply was made and on the t^ -^lowing morning tbe Olga shelled the town^and afterwards sent a force of tailors ashore^to complete the destruction by tire. Ham^ilton'sliouHCK were destroy*d and t he Uugi^Am* rican Mag which had been placed upon^one ot them was partially burned by the^German sailors, and then torn down, its^fragments were delivered to Consul Black^lock, who haa forwarded it to Secretary^Hayard. The G-riuau consul afterwards^wrote to Consul Klacklock complaining ot^Klein having lad the attack on the German^toft aa on the night of the lHth. Itiacklock^replied he had had investigated the minor^and found It untrue. Onthe 21^t the Hermans fired several^shots on a nati\e boat in neutral waters^and narrowly escaped hitting a bo-.it con^tattling two RngJUh oihecrs. The Her^^man* apologised to the fcagllefi Charles^Urowtr, aa American citUen, who was on^shore during the firing, was r^ quested b^^the Kngiish to ask the Germans to cease^shooting. He did so, when t h*' OefwMM^s.'i/ed nun, carried him onboard the war^ship I ^^ r. and after handling him rough^ly for some time released him I in* Oaf^mans have made no further aasaults since^this and are ewdeutly awaiting reinforce^merits Should they make a second attack^upon Mataafa's forces the) would certainly^he defeated, as Mataafa has forty live hun^^dred wt II armed men. It Is claimed that^about 1,000 of Tamaaese's men have joined^Mataat sine** the bombardment, not sym^^pathising with the attack upon their coun^^try men. Wa*iiin.T(^n, Jan. Ill,^A copy of a dis^^patch in regard to insults to Americans^aod the American Hag at Samoa by tier^man soldiers was ^hown to Secretary Hay^ard this evening. He said the disturbance^refern d to was undoubtedly the same as^that described by t ousui ltlacki*^ck in his^cable message Ut the department of the 6th^lust. The consul's account, he said, was^not nearly so sensational as the one lust^received from San Francisco, but contained^Ister information The secretary added^that the department Is In constant com^municatioo with Samoa through Its agents,^ore ol wJmi is station* d at Auckland, ami^the latearlriformatiou reoalfwd is to the^effect 'hat affairs are unlet In that country,^aiid that no avrlous trouble has occurred^since tbe 5th Inst.
