The German consulate was burned on
the night of January 9. -Sail.»rs from the
American and German men of war agisted
in suppreissing the fire. The German con
sul telegraphed to Berlin that the flre was
tu ci'iental, bet afterward charged that the
Americans and English were responsible
for the casualty.
German Consul Knappe on January 12
sent word to Mataafa that be wanted to
have a talk with him, but the king de
clined the invitation culea* the consul put
his desire in writing, a* otherwise he
feared he would seriously compromise his
own position.
On the 14th several Tamasese canoe*
were observed going to the Adler. one of
the party coming ashore to the German
consul's to see that officer. The captain of
the Adler was on shore at the time. Cant.
M ulian, of the l"sited .States steamer Nipn;<*
seeing them aboard the Adler, sent on
board to ask for information as to what the
preparations meant They told him tbey
knew nothing of the intentions of the
rebels, nor the reae«»u for getting up steam.
The next day it was a«certained that
Tamasese had intended making a descent
on Apia that night, and that the boats had
come down to notify the German ships to
be ready for this attack. When it became
known, however, that Mataafa's troops
were well prepared to give them a warm
reception, orders were given to keep
Tamasese's forces away.
The next day a boa: belonging to Capt.
Hamilton, an American, whose property
was destroyed in the bombardment of
Metafagatel. was going down the LarVir.
when it was overhauled by a boat from the
Adler and ta»en on board that ship. The
wife of rapt. Hamilton unadvisedly went
to the German consul and asked to have
the boat released. Thereupon the Germau
consul issued permit to an American
cititen to row his boat up and down a
neutral harbor. The boat's crew were soon
re hi wed. Consul Black lock tent a letter
to the < ierman coniul asking why this boat
wu seized. He waa told that is waa a boat
that did not Sv any Sag.
The British steam packet Richmond ar
rived on the isth from Auckland. She was
expected to bring Important news from
the three nations regarding the Sarnoau
question. Mr. Moore*, an Ameriean mer
chant started to takej his goods off the
Richmond, and his boat was seized by au
armed Germau boat. It was 5 o'clock in
the evening when the Kichmond
arrhed, and a German guard was
f>ut aboard her. The next morn
ng it was announced that war
had been declared and that no goods
would be allowed to be lauded except at a
certain Germau store, where they would
be passed upon by a German store keener
who had no right to act for the Germau
governmeut in anv such capacity. Conse
quently the Fnglish and American mer
chants refused to take off their freight.
M<»ores undertook to help himself with tbe
above result.
The following proclamation was issue.!
January 19 by the imperial (icrmauconsul
**By order of the imperial (terman govern
ment. I herewith proclaim the state of war
for the -*araoan islands. Ami assistance to
the rebels will be punished by martial law,
irrespective of any foreign nationality.
The Introduction of contraband of war is
prohibited. All vessels and boat* are liable
to be searched by the German authorities.
The police of Apia henceforth will act
under instructions from the imperial
German government. The resident* of
Apia are requested to assist in keeping
law and order. DR. KNAPPE,
Imperial iiermau Consul."
Consul Blacklock wrote to Consul
Knappe;. asking what he meant by a "state
of war/' as everybody knew there had
been war for some time. I-ater in the day
the German consul replied, saying that
martial law had been declared.
The captain of the Nipsie and an officer
accompanying were told first that war had
not and then that it had been declared.
The British ship Longfellow arrived on
the JDth from Juaao islam: As soon a>
she came in she was boarded by an armed
boat from the Adler. which left a guard on
board. Scarcely had the German i*»at left
the ship's aide when a boat from the Royal
ist arrived to demand a reason for the
presence of the Germans in charge of a
British ship. The German officer refused
to surrender the charge given by his or
ders, and the English officer returned to his
ship for further instructions tap*. Hand,
not knowing whether the Loagfetlow had
clear j»apers. would not take any immedi
ate action. Daring the night, however, be
found that the ship's j«aj>« rs w. re ail right,
and on rending a guard aboard the German
guard left
on January JO British Consul Colt-Logan
issued a proclamation ordering British sub
jects to pay no attention to tne proclama
tion of war, and that they were responsible
to no person bat the British consul, her
majesty and British commissioaer for the
Pacific. sir J B. Thurston. governor of Fiii.
The British consul's posters bad scarce.*
been up when » apt. Fntx put up another
proclamation declaring that British f iti
re as atd those of all other nations there
were under martial law. and for atiy otTeii »e
against the stated regulations would be
liable to prosecution hv court-martial.
Klein received information on the JOth
from certain quarters that she Germans in
tended to arrest him on sight and take bim
on board a man-of war there, to be sea
teuced to deportation or perhaps death, by
c«.-urt martial. His alleged chief offense
was that he had led Mataafa s troops ia
the attack on '.erman sailors at V allele
and was the first to fire upon them on that
occasion 1B addition he had in
curred German resentment by being
in camp with Mataafa. as be
admit* having !«e*n in bis capacity of
special correspondent. Klein sa>s the
Germans knew he was the only white man
present at that battle, and if they could get
him oat of the way there would be no one
to prove that the native* had not begun
the fight. In that case they could not
claim indemnity under international law.
if the matter went to arbitration As soon
as Klein heard these threatening nimors he
had a long talk with < onsai B!*cklock and
tap: Mullan. Hete.il them that he was
DO: desirous of leaving Nimoa. They ad
vised him to go on board the Nipsie or he
might be seired and could not be relea«ed
except after protracted diplomatic negotia

should be true, I hereby request that you

ler, for the cause, as has been
laid before me, maintained and witnessed
by oath, that he in a conspicuous manner

Capt. Mullon replied that as a command

any American citizen, a ad Klein could not
be tried by any military tribunal in Sa

BAYARD'S OPINION.
Petty Omclals Exceeded Their Or-
ders—A Peaceful Solution.
WASHIJMJTO*. Feb. 10.—When shown the
advices received from Samoa by tbe
steamer arriving at San Francisco to-dav.
Secretary Bayard to-night said cap'?.
Mullan of the Nipsic had acted sensibly in
taking carv of Klein, tae correspondent.
Regarding this man there seemed to be a
misunderstanding on the part of the
German officials.
Of the other events chronicled in the
dis}»atch the secretary pointed out that
since its date telegraphic advices showed
that martial law had b«eo abolished. *0 far
as it applied to foreigners, and that the
German official# had men rebuked. H>>
had noticed in tne newspapers that German
Consul Kuappe and HerrJßraudes. Tama
sese s adviser, who. according to some ac
count*. had been held respon
sible for fomenting strife,
had been ordered home by jhe German
government, if this is true, the state of
affairs promises to be much relieved. Alto
gether Secretary Bayard was hopeful that
a speedy, peaceful, and satisfactory settle
ment of Samoau affair* would be reached.
He had, he said, received no news from
Samoa later than that scat to conxres* and
already published
