Tl.o Mnnnii dill tint llftVn any thing in tow 80 that it is certain eh did not sen anythiug of tho dUnliled Elihu ThoniBOH. although warned by tho Senator that ehe was about fivo hundred miles from San Francisco and in a certain longitudo aud latitude. Evidently tho Moana did not go much out of her way for the Thomson, couBidoring her in no immediato dancor. If that vessel had remained in about the Bamo noaition as alio was when tho Senator found her, the Moana -would havo picked hor up. How over, it is protty certain that the Thomson drifted quite n distance to the southward and out of tho "way of tho Moana. Of courno, tho Moana on enlor ing San Franoiaoo would notify the tugboats and they would go out after tho Thomson, seeing eho was so near tho coast at the timo of her mishap.

Ad vices received horo from Apia, Samoa, to April 'JG, stato that tbo robol loss by tho shelling of the Mataafan stronghold at Vallimn by tbo warships of Groat Britain and the United Stato) was quito heavy. Many of the rebels were wounded. Tbo houso in which tbo late Bobort Louis Stevenson lived was riddled with shots. On April 22 thoro was a sharp skirmish between tho rebels and Lieutenant II. A. G aunt's brigade near tho town or. Vallima. in this encasement ono Mataafan was killed, On April 23 there was some bush fighting. Lieutenant Gaunt's brigade numbering 000 mon, ad vanced under a hot fire. The enemy lost several men, the bodios of tho dead being dragged away. Tho New Zealand Government steamer Tu'anekai had arrived at Apia with dispatcher announcing tho request of tho International Commissioners that tho inhabi tants peacefully await tho arrival of Commissioners who are now on thoir way to tho islands from San Francisco. A meeting of tho three oonsuls, in view of this message, was held, but without result, the German consul dissenting from tho propositions of tho other two consuls. Admiral Albert Kautz, U. S. N , aod Captain Stuart of tho British cruiser Tauranua, dispatched a messHge through a French priest to Mataafa ordoriug him to with draw his forces outside of a lino ten miles longand six miles broad. Mataafa replied defiantly, refus ing to withdraw unless the Gor man consul and tho captain of tho German oruiser Falke agreed. Admiral Kautz and Captain Stuart thereupon sent an ultima tum to Mataafa threatening to compel tho withdrawal of Lib forces. In support of this ulti matum a plan of action was do- otded upon. Lioutonant Gaunt's brigade was strengthened and a heavy gun was landed at Mulinuu and war rookets were got in read! ness. Being informed of theso prepa rations Mataafa made prompt re ply, agroeing to withdraw iramo diately. Va April I'o au nupirtant moot ing of the king and the chiefs was held. They were informed of the action that bad beeu taken by tho British and Am noun nuval com manders and gtvo it general up provl. A majority of tho inhabitants are highly dissatisfied with tho cessation of hostilities. They say that Mataafa is beaton now and that the trouble would he all end ed in a week or ten days were the advantage pushed. Tho rebels are delighted at tho dolay, which will give them timo to rod 1 1 cartridge) shells and build more forts. It is tbo general opinion that tho isl ands will bo uninhabitable except for Germans aud Frmohmon un less Matanfa and tho robel chiefs aro severely punished. It is doubtful if British or Am erican subjects will give much evidence bofore tho International Commission, owing to a fear that to express thomselvos candidly would interfere with trado rela tions. For this reason tbo ovidenco before the commission is likely to be one-sided. The statement by the German Minister for Foreign Affaire, Ba ron Yon Buclow, that Mataafa was unanimously elected King, is do nounced in Samoa. Kauti Heuila lienor!. Washington, May 4.
