THE GERMANS IN SAMOA.

MALIETOA'S SURRENDER AND

DEPORTATION.

FAREWELL CEREMONIES,

(FROM TUB SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE

"SYDNEY MORNING HERALD.")

Apia, Monday, September 19. When I left Sydney on the Bth instant the news relative to the German action in Samoa stated, in effect, that the German commodore had demanded satisfaction from King Malietoa for alleged offence against German subjects; that, failing im mediate payment of the claim, and while Malietoa was consulting his chiefs, the Germans landed a force of marines, deposed Malietoa, and proclaimed lama sese King; that Malietoa had col lected his men to resist the demand, and fighting was expected ; that the Eng lish and American consuls proclaimed that they still recognised Malietoa, bub advised the people not to fight, pending the result of probable negotiations. This took place on the 24th August. Since then you have had details of these proceedings. % _ The situation has now become definite and important, as Malietoa, after three weeks of hopeless waiting for support from England and America, has come in from the bush, and surrendered to the Germans, to save the lives of his people. Ho is non far out at sea, on board a German man-oi war, going into exile, we know not where. His deportation is quite in keeping with the surprising line of behaviour the Ger mans have followed in this matter, and you will read with some interest, and perhaps astonishment, of the peculiar transactions which have taken place here. At various times since the declaration of war, Malietoa sent into Apia to learn whether any news had come saying what England or America would do to support him. His people keenly wanted to light, bub he re strained them, under the advice of the English and American Consuls, so that he might avoid the slaughter that must have taken place. Day after day, and week after week«h.et:waited for it, as he had waited for that tupporfc which has been promised him for by previous consuls, and relying on which he had refrained from crushing the rebellion that has now been made the means of his ruin. He actually camo into the town himself one night to seek news, escorted by a party of chiefs. The party separated on leaving, and three shots were lired at these chiefs by sentries, while Malietoa himself was fired on as he left by another way. Malietoa was surrounded by his chiefs and followers throughout this anxious period, and they were well aware of tho search as it went on. The German patrols penetrated the bush for about two miles, and the Samoans had them at their mercy time after time. There was one patrol of about 100 men, which the Samoans actually surrounded with a ling of about 1,000, and they would have made short work of the marines. In such bush country as this line movements are impossible, and a few hundred natives could wipe out the best European regiment of infantry with no trouble whatever. In fact, the ofiieor who would attempt to work European troops against the natives in this bush should be taken outside the town and shot. As to the composition of the native forces, I will say something later on, and will now describe the great event of Saturday.

Malietoa's Surrender mu\ Exile

The English and American residents of Samoa havo suffered a deep humiliation, but the humiliation became most painful when poor Malietoa at last gave himself up. Malietoa 'ciffle'into Apia during Friday night, and waited for the last chance Of consular action on receipt of in structions by the mail; but no such instructions came. The last intimation received by either the English or the American Consul was a cablegram to the former to remain perfectly neutral in word and deed. The mail came on Satur day by the Lubeck, but brought nothing, and Malietoa's last hope died in him. During , Saturday morning he remained in the town with some of his chiefs and rela tives, who followed him to the last. Among these was Sclu, his chief secretary, a most intelligent native gentleman; Mataafa, a chief, who is regarded as being next to Malietoa iv claim to tho sovereignty, but who was so much attached to the king that he wept at his departure I saw something of Malietoa on Saturday, and was present when he gavo himself up. Among our party of Englishmen who were present and saw Malietoa go off, were several who had an interview with him in the morning, and these included Mr \\. McMillan, M.L.A., of Sydney, and Mr IT. Thompson, of the Auckland branch of Messrs TV. McArthur and Co. Mr McMillan has been here during portion of the disturbance, and it is exceedingly .fortunate for the colonies that they had upon the apot abany rate one legislator who will be able to speak from personal observation of the German attitude;, and the necessity tor upholding British interests here.

Sialietoa Goes to the Consulate.

On the Friday night Molietoa had pre paredaletter, which he subsequently sent to the English and American Consuls, stating his intention of giving himself up- I obtained a translation of it, and forward ifc herewith. On Saturday afternoon the King came into the main street, and walked to the German guardhouse to see the Consul. Hβ was dressed in a white shirt, with coils of coloured na'/ive cloth twisted round his waist, and/reaching to the ground, and carried an umbrella. He is a large, poWorfttl-looking man, with good features, especially a strongly-formed forehead, and he walked along the street v/ibh a dignity one could not but admire, A chief went in front clearing the path, saying, " Sit down, you Samoans, the Kin,* is coining." Behind him came a num ber of faithful chiefs, all the party Walking in single file. As the King passed the group of whites the latter raised their bats, and said, "To fa, Malietoa "—good-bye. *Then Malietoa and his party went in to meet the German Consul, and had a short interview, in which he intimated that he had enme to give himself up. A number of Malietoa's followers gathered round the gate, but one of the chiefs .dispersed them, as it was not desirable that any outbreak should take place.

The King and the German

Consul

came out and walked to the jetty close at hand, where a boat was in waiting. At tho entrance to the jetty Malietoa turned round to say good-bye to his people, and a painful scene then took plane. The king kissed his women-folk, all of whom were in tears, and some of them weeping piteously. He also took leave of his chiefs, one of whom seized his hand, kissed it, and burst into tears. Malietoa himself said nothing, and went through the trial With splendid fortitude, although hesometimes trembled and f alt ei-ed. Then we white people shook hands with him, and said once more, " To fa," and Malietoa went into the boat. His calm and dignified behaviour throughout this last scene vyas quite consistent with those emotions which have caused him to refrain from bloodshed. And as his conduct has been guided by English and American advice, the picture of Malietoadeposed and degraded, as the result of obeying'the American and English Consuls, is a most painful one. I tell you, the English and Americans hero are posi tively aehained of their countries, and they the look for sympathy of -every colon jab who has any national spirit in him.

The King's Parting Letter. But perhaps the most emphatic censure will be found in the words of Malietoa s parting letter to the consuls. He states the whole position very clearly, calmly, and concisely, and in his dignified conduct and utterances he bestows on the English and American Governments a majestic rebuke. Here is the letter :—" I, Malietoa, King of Samoa, write this letter to you, as I am now in great distress. When tho chief, Tama sese, and others first commenced the present troubles it was my wish to punish them, and pub an end to the rebellion they had raised. Acting, however, on the advice and under tho assurance of their British and Ameri can Consuls, I refrained from doing so. I was repeatedly told by the representatives of the British and American Governments that they would afford me and my Govern ment assistance and protection if I _ ab stained from doing anything that might cause war amongst the Samoan people. Relying upon these promises, I did not put down the rebellion. Now- I find that war has been made upon me by the Emperor of Germany, and Tamaseeo has been pro claimed King of Samoa. The German forces and the adherents of Tamasese threaten to make war upon all Samoan people who do not acknowledge Tamasese as king. I am innocent of any wrongful act, and I .hereby protest against the action of Germany ; but as the German nation is strong and I am weak, I yield to their power to prevent my people being slaughtered. I shall deliver myself up to the German forces to-morrow to prevent bloodshed, and out of love to my people. I desire to remind you of the promises so repeatedly made by your Go vernments, and tffust that you will so far redeem them as to cause the lives and liber ties of my chiefs and people to be respected. I wish to inform you that I fear that the Germans will compel me—as they are now forcing my people—to sign papers acknow ledging Tamasese as king, and if I sign such papers it will only be under compul sion, and to avoid war being made on my people. Maliktoa, King of Samoa.' ,

The Effect of Exile

As to tho alleged offences for which re paration was demanded, Malietoa explicitly states that they wcro greatly magnified, and that he had done his best to retain all lawlessness. Of course, tho Germane say that Malietoa's besrc was not good enough, and that some stronger power was wanted. As to acknowledging Tamasese, Malietoa told his people before he went that he would not speak nor sign any paper. From the jetty near the guard-house- Malie toa was taken on board the Bismarck, and gave himself up to the Commodore. The Germans claim thai) he gave himself up unconditionally. His people and. the English and Americans are clear en the point that lie gave himself up under pro test, and only as a means of preventing slaughter, and pending a re-adjustment of the difficulty. Yesterday morning he was taken on board the Adler. He sent a message to Selu, asking if ho would like to come and say good-bye, but Selu was too much oast down to go, and merely watched him from the shore. During yesterday forenoon <he Olga steamed away to Tutuila, taking Scumanu and two chiefs of Tamasese's party to summon a Tu tuilan chief to come over and sub mit. Smimanu, Governor of Tuamasanga, wns deposed by the Germans and re placed Ijy Suate'le, who is said to bo very intelligent, and to possess greater influence. In the afternoon the Adler sailed out north ward with Malietoa on board. She left under sealed orders, but whatever bo her destination the effect will be very hard on Malietioa. The King was accompanied by the chiefs Tuaumu Moli, his elder brother, and Tali, another relative, and Aisake, his servant. Now, the Germans may think that this is a very sharp and effectual way of ending the trouble, but it does no credit to their humanity. If there is one feature in *ho Samoan character which asserts itseif over everything, it is love of home and country—that very fatherland which thei Germans make so much of—and it is alrhopt impossible to get a Samoan out of hi)] native village by any inducement. Bnb to tear a man away from his home uyider all the conditions which surround Malietoa is a piece of shameful tyranny. The deportation of Malietoa means death, for a Samoan cannot live out of his own country. The German Consul assured mo Maliotoa will be but little affected, but I must tako leave to protest against this cruel act. It will be a disgrace to England and America if they do nob correct at least this one result of their neglect.

The Baid on Satupaitia.

I Although tho demand of Tamasese was carried into effect without harm to the resi dents on Upolu, it was not quite so well with some unfortunate villagers on the is land of Savau. The proclamation of Tarn ase?e's elevation was carried to Savau by the Carola, several days after it was issued. The natives of the village of Satupaitia re fused to post the proclamation, and, the Germans state, received ib and its bearers discourteously. The ship came back for in structions,and then returned toSavau,where the villagers were punished for their refusal. The Germans threatened firstthenabiveswith punishment, bub the latter fitill held out, saying, " You aro strong; we are weak ; do as you please;" and then they retired into the bush. The Germans sob to work and burned about 150 houses, out of which they first dragged a sick woman and a dead man's body. They desbroyed some 60 boats and war canoes, which will be a serious loss to the natives ; and they killed all the pigs they could find. It was also reported that they cut down the bread-fruit trees, bub, in justice to the Germans, I must add that this report is contradicted. As to the other circumstances, however, I believe there is ample evidence, and I havo seen a photograph of the burning village taken by one of the German officers from the deck. There was a new grave discovered at the village, and the Germans, suspecting a plant of treasure, dug it up. They found only a corpse, however. This village was on country now belonging to Selu, Malietoa's chief secretary, who has labely come into bhe family title of Leauane, by the death of his father, a chief on Savau. By the way, the village and its property were under mortgage to Wm. McArthur and Co., and it would not be surprising if the Germans had some trouble out of this business.

HOSPITAL AND CHARITABLE AID BOARD.

The fortnightly meeting of this body took place at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Present: Messrs 0. Mays (in the chair), A. Kidd, R. Udy, and M. Niccoi (Mayor of Devonporb).

House Committee's Retort.—This Com mittee recommended : (1) That the room in the Upper Refuge lately called the mater nity ward be kept available for urgent cases which shall be admitted only upon the order of the Chairman; (2) that the surgical instruments asked for by the Honorary Staff', and reported upon on the 27th July by the House Physician and this Committee, be obtained.—The report was adopted. ' UxpAin Hospital Fees. — The House Steward submitted a return of fees un paid by other Hospital Boards in reepect of patients from their districts who nave been admitted to the Auckland Hospital :— By District North of Auckland Board— £152 12s lOd ; do Refuge fees, £23 16e. Coromandel Hospital Board, £77 I2e. The Chairman remarked' that) while the districts north of Auckland had seceded from this district, not a single hospital had been es tablished up~North. The unpaid fees re presented no lees than 23 cases. It was re solved to demand payment, both from the

North Auckland district and ■■ from Goio mandel,with an int^ 6,o,l cases from these districts will be admitted till the accounts are settled. John Common's Case.--The Government agent at Rotoroa wrote that the Govern ment had been adneed that the cost of John Coleraan's maintenance m the Rotorua Sanatorium could be recoveredunder Sec tion 74 of the Atet, from the Auckland Board and that if it were not pud the amount would be deducted from subsidy.- Resohred to reply tliat the Board is not re sponK,as fie 74 does not apply tie Rotorua Sanatorium, not being a hospital within the meaning of the Acl - , T Booturti CASE.--2?* the case of 1. Scollie, a letter ws* received horn the Wellington Board stating that they had been legally advised that they were £ no wfy Jesponeible for a contribution. ''Scollie resided in Wellington three yean, and left in the first week of July. He was admitted on the, 10th o August kite the Auckland Hospital, conse quently he must have resided away from \VeEton one month at least before his adSfon." The Wellington Board there fore held that as he dud not reside W,Wel linaton six months "next before his admission, and as the accident from winch he Buffers happened in Auckland, they ire not chargable. At any rate, Section X should be .a, ended so as to render its ineaninirci. .-Resolved to decline liability for Sane, to point out to Wellington Board that the intention of the was Act that until a patient had been for six months a resident' of any district, the district from which he came should be held responsible in respect, of him. Claim fob Hospital Fees. -Rt the Board's claim of £18 15s upon Mr l>. JJ- McKenzw for medical treatment ot Jacob Pisanne,. who sustained a fracture of tho lew on board MoKonssie and Co.'b schooner, the-Linda. Weber, Messrs Hesketh and Richmond advised the acceptance of i-10 offered by the trustees of McKcnzie and Co 's estate.—lt was agreed to acicept the offer of £10 in full payment. It appeared that Mr McKenzie had guaranteed payment of Pisannefs fees. Nkw Blkfuoe.—W. J. Suiter wrote asking tluut in consequence of absence from Auckland, his motion re the new Refuge at Ellerslie should be postponed till the next meeting, when he would be prepared to go on w«bh it.-—Granted. Ay Appeal fob Hklp.—Henry J'hillipe wrote drawing attention to the case of a man named S. Smith who had been unablo ob tain admittance to the Hospital. lhe letter concluded:—"! may add the man now lies at the house of another unfor tunate who lately, through inability to go I otherwise, carried his dead child on his I shoulder along the bleak road to Waikomiti. These cases are, to my mind, so startling in this moch-lauded age of humanity that 1 am compelled to bring them to your notice. Dr. Hooper reported that the man was suffering from heart disease, but that there was no urgency about; the case. The Secretary stated that the man was admitted on the morning , following this report. Accounts amounting to £1,165 for the month were passed for payment.

FIRE BRIGADE FOR DEVON PORT.

A public meeting, convened by the Mayor of Dovonport(Mr M. Niccol) for the purpose of taking steps to form a Fire Brigade for the Borough, was held last night in the Council offices. About twenty persons were

present.

The Mayor presided, and in opening the proceedings regretted the paucity of atten dance. He said that he had intended to in troduce the subject at tholaet meeting of the ratepayers, bub other bueineesxaused it to be deferred, and the intervention of the elec tions had been a reason for further delay. There could be no two opinions as to the necessity for a Fire Brigade. Bevonport had long enjoyed an immunity from fires, but there was no knowing how soon this state of things would be ended by a big conflagration. There should be a Bucket Brigade at least, and also a Salvago Corps, and he believed that the Borough Council were quite prepared to erect several fircbells. They might also provide buckets to be kept near tho belle. Two classes of persons would be appealed to on behalf of the Brigade, viz., those who would join as working members, and those who would contribute to its maintenance. He had interviewed the Insurance Companies' officers, and had received v promise of mone tary assistance. He had also asked them how the formation of a Brigade would affect insurance premiums, and he had been in formed that that would bo a matter for the Association to deal with. He believed there were a number of residents of the shore who had already served on Fire Brigades. Captain Tye said that Messrs Ansoll and FulljameS had been members of the Auckland Fire Brigade, and would be willing to join. He knew of many others who would also join. Insufficient publicity had been given to the meeting, and that was the reason for tho meagre attendance. Mr North thought it of little use to talk of forming a Fire brigade until there was #i water supply. The Chairman considered that a great deal would be gained in securing a body of drilled men able to act promptly and systematically under skilful direction at all fires. At present there were plenty of volunteers, bub no system or method. The absence of a water supply was the very thing that rendered a brigade doubly necessary. Mr C. C. Dacre suggested the appoint ment of a committee to obtain names of persons willing to join, and to" report to a future meeting. In response to the Chairman's invitation, a fair number of those present then gave in their names as willing to join the Brigade. Mr Knox, C.E., stated hie willingness to give a description of the methods of fire ex tinction used in London, Parie, and other places. Something of a simple kind in keeping with the character of the district was required. A chemical preparation might be used with good effect. A complete fire brigade to be used with this preparation would only coat from £60 to £70. It was successfully used in San Francisco. After some desultory discussion, Mr C. C. Dacre moved, and Mr Lilewall seconded, "That in the interests of the district it is desirable that a fire brigade should be formed."

The motion was passed unanimously. On the proposition of the Chairman, seconded by the Rev. J. Babes, the follow ing Committee was appointed to take names of persons willing to join the Fire Brigade, and to report to an adjourned meeting to be held on Thursday evening, viz., Messrs Ansell, Fulljames, North, Cap tain Tye, Messrs Spraggon, Lilewall, Greenwood, F. and A. Barbley, Delaqoy, John Thompson, and Jarvie. The Chairman having promised bo fcry and interest the property-owners in the affair, a vobe of thanks was passed to him, and the meeting then adjourned to Thurs day nighb.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Samoan Outrage.

(To the Editor.) Sib,—l am pleased to see the way in which you ivrito in the Star respecting the above act of barbarism on the part of Commodore and hope the article will have world-wide circulation. How would ie be if some Great Power were -to go to Germany and depose that old Emperor for no reason but aelii-intercst and German bounce? 1 suppose he would think he was badly done to, and yet, when on the edge of tho grave, he or his can coolly rob an innocent old Christian King of his rights. I say shame on the cowards !—Yours, &c, JUSTICE.

Re Mr Mitchelson and Mr Vaile's Railway Reform.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Seeing in your issue of last evening your Wellington correspondent states that Mr Mitchelson has no sympathy with Mr Vaile's scheme, I would submit the two fol lowing cases for comparison, both being of my own personal exporience :—Tho freight of goods from Melbourne to Sydney (per Howard, Smith and Co.) is 3s 9d per ton, free of wharfage. Against that, 3s worth of smoked fish sent from Auckland to Hamil ton cos,t as much as the fish, viz., 3s. I hope if 'Mr Mitchelson does not agree en tirely with the scheme, he will endeavour to in some way lessen the heavy burden now caused by the excessive rates. —I am, etc., W. J. McCabe.

The Dramatic Society's Performances.

(To the Editor.)

Sm,—ls it not strange that the Auckland Dramatic Society's performance should have resulted in a loss of over £5 ? The proceeds of tho two nights must have been closo on to, if not quite, £60, and then the long list of patrons who paid their guinea or half-guinea each must have totted up to something , considerable. Now, if such a performance as "Guy Mannering" cost only £37 odd to produce, how can the money taken by the Auckland Dramatic Society have been absorbed ?--Yours, etc., One of thk I'ubuc Who Wants to Know.
