I SAMOANS ARE FIRED UPON By the British and American Warships. GERMANY WAS NEUTRAL Several of Our People Were Killed— The War Vessels Engaged in the Firing. ! Apia, Samoan Islands, March 23, Auckland, N. Z.. March 2>9.-Copyright J by the Associated Press, 1899.—The troubles growing out of the election of | a king of Samoa have taken a more , : ' ! I I ! j serious turn and resulted in the j bardment of native villages along the ; shore by tin United States cruiser ; Philadelphia, Admiral Kautz command ing. and the British cruisers Porpoise and Royalist. The b i continued intermittently for ! Several villages have been burned and there have been a number of casualties ! among the American and British sail . ors and marines. As yet it is impossi j ble to estimate the number of natives j killed or injured. As Mataafa and his nbardment has ; ei"lit days, ° I : chiefs, constituting the provisional gov eminent, continued to defy the treaty after the arrival of the Philadelphia, Admirai Kautz summoned the various consuls and the senior naval officets to a conference on board the Philadelphia, when the whole question was carefully canvassed. The upshot was a resolu tion to dismiss tlie provisional govern ment and Admiral Kautz issued a ! proclamation calling on Mataafa and his chiefs to return to their homes. Mataafa evacuated Mulinuu, the town he had made his headquarters, and went Herr Rose, the Ger into the interior man consul at Apia, issued a proclama tion supplementing the one he had Issued several weeks before, upholding the pro visional government. As a result of this the Mataafans assembled in large force and hemmed in the town. The British cruiser Royalist brought the Malietoa prisoners from the island to which they had been transferred by the provisional government. The'Americans then forti fied Mulinuu, where 22,000 Malietoans took refuge. The rebels—the adherents of Mataafa —barricaded the roads within the mu nicipality and seized the British houses. An ultimatum was sent to them, order ing them to evacuate and threatening them, in the event of refusal, with a bombardment, to commence at 1 o'clock on the afternoon of March 15. This was ignored and the rebels commenced an attack in the direction of the United States and British consulates about half an hour before the time fixed for the bombardment. The Philadelphia, Por poise and Royalist opened fire upon the distant villages. There was great difficulty in locating the enemy owing to the dense fiâmes. Several villages were soon in liâmes. A .'•hell from the Philadelphia exploded near the American consulate and the marines outside narrowly escaped. A fragment struck the leg of Private Rudgc, shattering it so badly as to necessitate an amputation. Another fragment traversed to the German eon sulato, smashing the crockery. The Germans then went on hoard the Ger man cruiser Falke. During the night the rebels made a hot attack on the town, killing three British sailors. A j British marine was shot in the leg by a sentry of his own party, another was shot in the foot and an American sen try was killed at his post. The bom bardment continuing, the inhabitants of the town took refuge on board the 1 Royalist, greatly crowding the vessel. 1 Many people are leaving Samoa, the ; captain of the Royalist urging them to go, so as not to Interfere with the mili ; tary operations. The Porpoise has shelled the villages east and west of Apia and captured many boats. The Americans and Brit ish are fighting splendidly together, but there is a bitter feeling against the Germans. Two men, a British and a German subject, have been arrested as spies. The bombardment of the jungle was for a time very hot. The British cruiser Taruanga, which it is said was intending to annex the | j j „ . , , , . ,, , Tongua islands (section of the Friendly' islands in the Pacific) was intercepted I at Suva, capital of the Fiji islands, by order of the home government. ----- Owned in Memphis Memphis, March 9.—The steamer Row- j ena Lee was owned by the Lee line of i | Memphis and was one of the most mag nlficent passenger steamers in the Mis- | ! sisslppl river trade.

REVIEW OF THE IRON MARKET PRICES ON THE FINISHED PRO DUCT REMAIN ABOUT THE SAME AS LAST WEEK. New York, March 30.—In its review of trade conditions, the Iron Age says: In many branches the iron and steel mar kets have quieted down somewhat. This is due in certain lines to the withdrawal rangements for a consolidation ot inter ests. Tn other branches it is due to the fact that the buyers do not share the con via,.-----— -------- <>t sellers pending the completion ? of ar _ , ,, „<> fidence of makers in the maintenance ot ( present prices and are beginning to test j them by withdrawal from the market. ; Many are now buying from hand to ! mouth. The foundry iron market's husi- j s has been quieting down consider- , ably, although reports from southern j markets report, a further advance. Opin- j ions vary greatly as to the capacity be- j coming available through the blowing in of new plants. There is no doubt that. every means is being exhausted to get idle furnaces into line. In Bessemer pig the market has now been re-established by the sales of the as sociation at $14.50 valley furnace. The re;lort that sales of 13.000 tons to the National Steel company and others had exhausted the supply from that source is foreign a nd domestic ferro-manganes? ore and the i Xational Steel company is reported to j, ave so ja 250,000 tons of tin plate bars to associated English and prices of the American makers have been advanced. Serious scarcity in this material is threatened. Reports indicate that na tional furnaces will blow in England. The steel market has been quiet witli only oc casional small sales at fancy pi ices. The their affiliated interest, the American Tin Plate company. The Western Steel rail makers have made a further advance of $1 per ton and report some business. As the season approaches increasing quan tities of structural material for buildings and bridges are reported in the leading markets. Prices on hcops and cotton ties have been withdrawn pending the consumma tion of the consolidation among the mills, which is now close to a settlement. The consolidated company which will proba bly lie called the American Steel Hoop company, will take in the three Pittsburg plants with the three blast furnaces be longing to one of them, one concern in the Shenango valley, the Youngstown mill, which is to be transferred by the National Steel companv and Duncanville works. The relations between the Na tional Steel company and the American Steel Hoop company are very close. The subscription books of the consolidation of the western and southern bar mills were opened today. A furnace property in the Birmingham district is included. but none of the Pittsbur are in the consolidation The sheet mill negotiations are still hanging fire but it is believed that illti V easternmills mately something will be done with this interest. The tube consolidation i* re | mately something will be done with this interest. The tube consolidation i* re ported to have reached the point that subscription books will be opened in a few days. The operations of the Nation al Steel company are attracting more and more attention in the trade as the com prehensive plans to control production from the ore and coal in the ground to the finished product are developing. Report has it that the concern has an option on eonof the most famous of the Lake Superior Bessemer ore mills and the announcement has been just made of th i ' ; j ; j ; j j purchase of a large tract of coal lands ! in the Connellsville region. To its outlet in the tin plate trade it is now adding the hoop and cotton tie industry with a goodly share of the skelp ar.d other lines. Copper has recovered from the wen ken j ing influences and has during the last few j days gone back to 17.50 cents for lake, the result of a rise in the London market. From the west comes reports of some ir regularity in prices of tin plate due to aratizing on the part of jobbers.

' I ,lns commissioned the artist George Peixotto to naint a portrait of President McKinley. It is the only modern por- trait since Lincoln's to hang in company with Washington and Jefferson, no j president having been thus honored by i the club since the days of negro eman- cipation. Peixotto is from Cleveland, | q„ studied with Leon Pople of Dresden : a nd Munkaesy, the Hungarian court | painter. Later he recived counsel from ; Meissonier, Carolus Duran and Raf- faelii. Peixotto has painted the greatest | mPn j n Europe and some of the most beautiful of the women. His portrait of the first Mrs. Whitney is highly prized by Mrs. Almeric Hugh Paget. Lady Somerset sat for the artist in Boston for the portrait of her Eastnor or castle gal lery. Miss Nina Parsons, a grand daughter of Mark Hopkins and Mrs. James N. Norris of St. Louis are repre sented by canvases of much beauty. Second Port of Importance San Francisco, March 30.—Wilbur F.

She made the next landing at Tyler, Mo., and at about 4 o'clock this afternoon backed into mid-stream from Tyler to proceed on her journey. The steamer had just left the middle of the river When she suddenly stopped and lurched as if a snag had been struck. The next moment the boat parted in the middle, a volume of steam and debris arose and the deto nation of an explosion thundered over till? wateir. The river is running very high | and the steamer suddenly sank in 17 feet of water, with all on board but the cap tain and one of the crew. These two clung to wreckage and were saved by boats. The cause of the disaster cannot be obtained. Most of the orew live in Memphis.
