Sailors for Dewey
WASHINGTON*, Sept. 21.—(8y the As
sociated Press). The navy department has
ordered 400 sailors to be sent to Admiral
Dewey's squadron at Manila. The men
will be sent from San Francisco smi mer
chant steamer. It Is the purpose of the
department tn gather most of the men from
the Pacific coast, but orders have been
given to Lieutenant Commander Vail, In
charge of the permanent naval recruiting
station ln Chicago, to recruit 110 of the
sailors there. This detail does not amount
to a reinforcement of trie forces at Manila,
for the men are to take the places of sailors
whose terms of service have expired.
Seaports Still Held
MANILA, Sept. 21.—The report that the
last Spanish garrison In the Island of Lu
eon had surrendered Is premature. Tho
Spaniards still hold seven seaports ln tbe
Alliay province, the principal hemp dis
trict. The disturbances have already re
sulted ln a diminution In the output of Al
bay hemp by 2"I0,000 bales, compared with
Inst year's figures. Further fighting seems
Imminent and unless peace Is concluded,
the shortage will be doubled.
Work for Paymasters
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—A few days
ago orders were issued directing the return
to San Francisco from Manila of three pay- j
musters, as lt was thought they were not
needed ln the Philippines longer. The order
was revoked today upon tho receipt of a
telegram from Gene-ral Otis saying that
the men could not be spared. He said that
most of the paymasters In Manila were
employed ln duties outside of the regular
duties of paymasters. Major Whipple, tho
chief paymaster, was auditor of the cor
poration of Manila MaJ. Kellher wos pro
vost marshal and ln charge of finances;
Mn.ior Lord was in charge of the customs
of Manila, and Major Kllhourne was em
ployed In another Held capacity. This made
lt impossible to send the three paymasters
home.
The Rueful Rios
MADRID, Sept. 21.—Senor Montero Bios,
president of the senate and member cf the
Spanish peace commissi,,n. In an interview
published today, is quoted as saying:
"It Is a painful spectacle to see pfd It I clans
on all sides throw* on each oth*r the blame
for the disaster, the responsibility for
which rests on all parties. I personally
have always favored autonomy for Cuba,
Spain being unable forcibly to maintain
her sovereignty at such a great distance!."
Continuing he said: "It Is useless to
speak of our disasters. Has not the coun
try accused all our governments of exhib
iting too much weakness toward the T'n-'ted
States? What Spain wanted was a man
ready to sacrifice himself and who recog
nized the Impossibility of war with a pow
erful nation, especially after years of use
less conflicts with Insurgents."
The queen regent has signed the decree
suspending Admiral Montejo and granting
rrcirdon tn convicts who fought ns volun
teers ln the wnr with the United States.

LOS ANGELES HERALD} THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1898
ANNEXATION OF SAMOA
NOT YET ACCOMPLISHED BUT IS
NOT UNLIKELY
GERMANY WANTS THE PLACE
Civil War Growing Out of the Succes
sion Campaign May Furnish a
Good Excuse
Associated Press Special Wire.
I SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.—The steam
ship Alameda from Sydney, Auckland,
Apia, Honolulu, brought further particu
lars concerning the death of King Malletoa
The King's death was due to typhoid fever.
He tiled on Monday, August 22. and was
buried on the 24, a large number of natives
find whites attending the funeral. Rev.
S. J. E. Newell and J. Marriott, usslstcd by
native pastors, conducted the funeral cere
monies.
I Shortly before his death Malletoa was re
moved from Apia to Valllma, the residence
Of the late Robert Louis Stevenson, which
Is nt a considerable elevation on the slopes
of Mount Vnca, where Stevenson was
buried. The change from the sea beach to
the more salubrious locality of Vnlllmn
was expected to improve the old King's
health, but he gradually snnk| anil died
The aged monarch of Samoa was convinced
that his time had come, and he accordingly
resigned himself to this end with the fatal
ism characteristic of the Polynesian races.
In appearance Malletoa wns| a line look
ing, stalwart man with a gray, grizzled
mustache.
According to a report current, it wos
believed at Samoa that if H. M. S. Ringdove
has not been at Apia the Germans would
have hoisted the German flag there on
Malletoa'S death and. have proclaimed the
annexation of Snmoa.
Malletoa leaves a daughter, an attract
ive girl named Falmoa, who Is 1" or TS
years of age. nnd who was educated at
the London Missionary Society's school at
Papauta, which Is near Apia. He also
leaves a brother, an elderly chief, who lives
at Apia.
Speaking of Samoan affairs today,
Purser Smith of the steamer Alameda
saidt
"There Is trouble expected there, and
the Germans are bringing back to the Isl
ands King Mataafa In a man-of-war. The
English have a gunboat there, the Ring
dove. The British, American and German
consuls, the chief justice and the president
ot the municipal council of Apia have
formed themselves Into a hoard of control,
pending the ekotlon of a successor to King
Malletoa, who died August 22d.
"Mataafa was deported hy the powers
some years ago to the Union (TokeltO isl
ands, to the northwest of Samoa, owing
to his presence In Samoa being a disturb
ing political element. He was induced to
surrender himself to the powers on the
understanding that lt was for the good of
his people that he should go away. The
exiled chief was conveyed to the Union
group in a German man-of-war, together
with several of his relatives antl friends.
A recent telegram from Europe announced
the likelihood of Mataafa being returned
to Samoa, and this will no doubt be done,
as the consequence of Malietoa Laupepa's
death. Mataafa is popular in Samoa, an.i
no doubt a large section of tho people
would be ln favor of his appointment a3
king.
"There are several opposing sections
among the Samoan natives, one of the
largest being headed by Tamasese. and lt
Is said that each party has a nominee for
the kingship. In view of these conflicting
opinions, it will be seen that the position
ot affairs In Samoa may again become very
serious, and that civil war may as likely
as not result between the rival parties.
"During the war of 1888-89 the German
authorities nominated the chief Tamasese
as king, but the only authority ho exer
cised was that hacked by German guns.
Tamasese Is still ln Somoa. living at Aana.
amongst the disaffected sections of which
he Is the head.
SAN JOSE POLITICS
Inside History Comes Out in a Libel
Suit
SAX JOSE. Cal., Sept 21.—The libel suit
of Jarman against Rea is progressing
more rapidly so far than had been gener
ally anticipated. Jarman was on the
stand this morning for re-direct examina
tion, and related some rather startling
testimony. He, with four other members
of the common council, went to the office
of one member for a consultation over the
appointment of firemen and policemen.
Those present were Oeorge DittUS, Julius
Krelg. R P Main, Richard Martin and
himself (Jarman).
Some one knocked at the door, whl"-h
proved to be Rea. Ho came In laughing,
with the remark:
"I thought you fellows could get along
without me "
Then turning to Martin, Rea said:
"What in hell are you doing here: you
can't vote with these fellows. If you do.
you will lose youl Job Tuesday, und dvn't
fotget that liltl. financial obligation you
are under to me "
With this, Rea left and took Martin
with him, but invited all to come to his
house that afternoon,when he thought they
could settle the matter satisfactorily.
Accepting the Invitation.the then-Mayor,
Austin, members of the Council John D.
Mackenzie and one or two others, were
thero. A list of names was submitted by
Rea and Mackenzie for policemen and fire
man.
Jarman refused to accept the list, making
objection to two or three individually. One
policeman ar.d one fireman were especially
objected to, because charges of misconduct
were preferred against the fireman and
the policemnn had been absent from duty
hid days during the year, as stated by the
Mayor.
Witness said thnt Rea and Mackenzie
declared that the fireman would have to
go on as he was "worth fifty votes to
us," and the policeman would also havo to
go on as he was the brother of a council
man.
Witness' refusal to take the slate caused
the enmity of Rea and his efforts to defeat
Witness by slander.
Much other inside history of alleged
political management is being brought out

HOURS AND WAGES
Some Prospects of a Big Railroad
Strike
PITTSBURG, Sept. 21.—The Post says
today that for some time past rumors of
a big railroad strike have been circulated
hut nothing could be learned until yester
day, when it developed that the conductors
and brnkemen of the roads entering Pitts
burg want to be placed on an equality with
their brethren In other parts of the coun
try. To accomplish this object these two
branches of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen yesterday presented to the offi
cials of all railroads entering this city a
scale of wages. An answer Is requested
within thirty days.
The demand calls for a ten-hour day with
extra for every hour put In beyond thnt.
The rate of wages asked Is as follows: Day
conductors. $2.75; day brakemen, $2.50; night
yard conductors. $2.90; night yard brake
men, $2.70. Extra per hour: Day con
ductors. 27' i cents: day brakemen, 25 cents;
night conductors, 29 cents; night brakemen,
27 cents. The present wages are based on
a 12-hour day.
It Is claimed by the men that the rate
asked by them is paid In Chicago, Cleve
land, Youngstown and many other West
ern cities.
The district for which the advance is
asked extends east as far as Altoona and
west to Ashtabula. Ninety-nine per cent
of the conductors and brakemen ln this
district are members of the Brotherhood,
and they expect the companies to grant
their demands without a strike being nec
essary.

evacuated and the Spanish troops In posi
tion will enter the city in order to be ready
to embark on the arrival of the transports
here.
The resident! of Porto Rico and some of
the Americans here are alarmed because
the Spanish ships returning from Cuba
stop at this port. They believe there Is
danger of the introduction of yellow fever
Into the Island from the Spanish steamer
City of Cadiz, as the sick men on board her
were too 111 to proceed and were brought
ashore. Our commissioners will protest if
there la a repetition of this. The volunteers
have all been disbanded and the Spanish
soldiers are engaged in dismantling the
armories and barracks and in boxing guns
and ammunition. They are rejoicing over
the prospect of an early return to their
homes.
Rear Admiral Schley has refused to pur
chase the coal stored here, and It may be
purchased for the use of the United States
army.

THE NATIVES OF HAWAII
NOT UNANIMOUS IN FAVOR OF
ANNEXATION
A Strong Faction Working for the
Restoration of the Queen Under
American Protection
SAN FRANCISCO, Bept. 21.—The steam
ship Alameda arrived today from Aus
tralian points via Honolulu. Advices from
the latter place under date of September
11 say that the Congressional Commission
ers are Ilnishlng their work and expect to
leave for Washington on September 23d.
The commissioners ore now being deluged
with petitions and memorials from the na
tive Hawallans. The sentiment of the na
tives appears to be divided. One faction
desires the restoration of the Queen, while
the other accepts the new order of things
and asks for certain rights under the new
form of government.
The natives who favor the restoration
held a mass-meeting on September 12 and
adopted a memorial which was presented to
the commissioners. The memorial alleges
that the annexation treaty has failed and
the Joint resolution Is Ineffective because
It was not passed by tbe people of the
Hawaiian Islands or their representatives
in the Legislature. The memorial con
cludes by asking that the constitutional
government of January 18, 1893, be restored
under the protection of tho United States
of America. Among the speakers at the
mass-meeting was Robert W. Wilcox, the
revolutionist, who a few weeks ago took
the oath of allegiance In order to qualify
himself for a full pardon for past mis
deeds. Pointing to the United States flag
over the government building, he snld: "It
Is useless to say that the flag over there
will not come down again. It was up be
fore and lt came down. It will be shown
that the annexation vote will be carried
through by a handful of foreigners. If
America loves us. why were not Ha
wallans placed on the commission. We
rre not represented there. The next thing
wo shall not he able to vote."
The other faction of Hawallans also
presented a memorial to the commission.
This memorial asks for a Territorial form
of government, with full rights for the
natives and permission to make provis
ion for ex-Queen Lllluoknlanl, Princess
Kaiulnn! and Queen Dowager Kaplolanl.
