Vol. X. No. 176’
A CRISIS IN SAMOA-
Durinc the Trouble the British end
Americans Stand Together
Apia, Samoa, March 23, via San
Francisco, March 30—The chiefs sup
porting Mantaafa having refused to
abide the treaty and continuing to
defy the proper authorities, Admiral
Kautze convened a meeting of con
suls and senior naval officers on board
the Philadelphia, at which it was de
cided to dismiss the provisional gov
ernment. Admiral Kautze thereupon
issued a proclamation, ordering the
Mantaafas adherents to return to their
homes. Mataafa thereupon went in
land, but when German Consul Rose
issued a proclamation upholding the
provisional government, he returned
with his followers and surrendered the
town.
The American and British consuls
held a consultation, and at their in
stance the Philadelphia and the British
warships Royalist and Porpoise opened
fire and soon set fire to some shore
villages, causing much damage. A
defective shell from the Philadelphia
exploded near the American consulate,
wounding a marine
The rebels attacked the town at
night, killing three British sailors A
British marine was accidentally wound
ed by a British sentry.
The Americans have fortified Mul
can and 2,000 Nalietoans are refuged
there.
The Matafaaians barricaded ail the
roads within the municipalities and
seized a number of houses belonging
t> British subjects An ultimatum
was sent their leaders, warning them
that if they did not evacuate by 1
o’clock p. m March 15th the place
would be bombarded. To this the
Mata/aaians made no reply, but began
an attack on the Malietoans
Au American sentry was killed at
hi* post by the natives
The bombardment has continued
slowly for eight days. Many inhabi
tants have sought refuge on the Royal
ist and many are leaving Samoa, under
the advice of the captain of the Roy
alist, who feared that their presence
would impede military operations.
A piece of a defective shell went
through the German consulate, caus
ing great distruction. The Germans
then boarded the German warship.
A hot fire in the jungle is maintain
ed. It is impossible to learn the cas
ualties. The Porpoise has ebelled the
villages east and west of Apia, and
landing parties have captured many
boats. The British and Americans are
fighting splendidly together. The
feeling against the Germans is most
bitter.
Bobbed the Grave.
A startling inicident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows :
“I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no appetite—gradually
growing weaker day by day Three
physicians had given me up; For
tunately, a friend advised trying ‘Elec
tric Bitters:’and to my great joy and
surprise, the first bottle made a great
improvement. I continued their use
for three weeks, and am now a well
man I know they saved my life, and
robbed the grave of another victim.”
No one should fail to try them. Only

TO TRY LIEUTENANT CURRY.
He Will be Courtmartialed for Killing
Private Leo Reed.
Lieutenant Erank Z Curry, Third
Georgia volunteer infantry, who shot
and killed Private Leo Reid, battery I,
Second artillery, last January al Sa
vannah, will be tried by courlmartial
within a short time. Charges have
been preferred against him, and the
order directing the courtmartial will
be issued within a few days. The offi
cials at the department of the gulf are
uncertain as to whether the sessions
of the court will be held at Augusta,
the present station of the regiment, or
at Savannah, where the killing oc
curred.
Lieutenant Curry went to Cuba with
the Third Georgia and is thought to
have been on duty while there, as no
evidence to the contrary has been re
ceived at the department headquarters.
It is thought that be is at present at
liberty, but when the order for the
courtmartial is issued he will probably
again be placed under arrest.
It is not known what officer of the
Third Georgia preferred charges
against Lieutenant Curry, but it was
announced immediately after the kill,
ing that Major John S. Cohen, of the
Third Georgia would do so. Private Leo
Reid is said to have bad a good record
iu the army, although on the night of
his death, he is said to have been
drinking
The killing occurred on the night of
January lOtb, in the Pink L-ght sa
loon, on River street, Savannah, while
Lieutenant Curry was on provost
guard duty, and only a few days prior
to the departure of the regiment for
Cuba. Private Reid was in the saloon
at the time Lieutenant Curry entered.
The latter is said to have asked to see
the pats of the former, whereupon
Reid began to run.
Lieutenant Curry is said to have
pulled bis pistol and shot the soldier in
the back. He died a few minutes later.
It was stated at the time of the killing
that Lieutenant Curry was drinking,
but later this was denied
Immediately after the killing Lieu
tenant Curry surrendered to Lieuten
ant Steiner, of the Third Georgia, and
was placed in confinement by Major
Cohen, of the same regiment.

Several Democratic Dinners.
Tbt-re are going to be Jefferson din
ners in New York to suit all Demo
crats, of whatever shade of opinion,
respecting details of public policy.
Besides the original $lO dinner, and
the original $1 dinner, concerning
which so much has been said, there
are to be forthcoming no less than
three other Jefferson dinners, ranging
in price from $2 per plate to nothing.
At a meeting of $1 dinner promoters
in Clarendon Hall the other night
there was a row as to whether or not
it should be called a “Chicago plat
form” function. One faction declared
against the proposition, with the result
that there will be two $1 dinners, one
having the Chicago label, and the
other running without that emblem.
And then there will be the Manhattan
Single Tax Club’s dinner, at $2 per
plate. And last, but not least by any
means, will be the feast under the
auspices of Patrick Jerome Gleason,
sometime Mayor of Long Island city,
who declarles that be will set up a
spread for all hungry Democrats of his
bailiwick who “have not got the price
of a feed.” Thus it seems that there
ought to be few hungry Democrats
within the precincts of the greater
New York on or about the date of the
birthday of the great apostle of the
party.

QUAY MAY WITHDRAW
Conference of His Managers About
to be Held.
Harrisburg, Pa , March 29 It it
believed that an earnest tffort will be
made this week to break the senatorial
deadlock. Col Quay, who went to
Florida three weeks ago, has notified
his lieutenants here that bis family
will start north on April 1, but that he
will remain there on account of bit
poor health until it is necessary for
him to leave. His trial at Pailadel
pbia is set for April 10 But more
important than the information as to
his movements is the suggestion to
his lieutenants that they may take
such action with respect to the sena
torship as they deem beet. This gives
them free rein to take him out of the
fight or continue to vote for him.
There will be a conference of the Quay
leaders soon It is possible that a
compromise with Senator O. L Magee
as the basis, will bs reached Those
who will be at the conference are Sen
ator Penrose, Insurance Commissioner
Durham, Attorney General Elkin,
State Treasurer Beacom, SenatorC. L.
Magee and Davie H. Lane,of Philadel
phia.
The fact that Col. Q >ay has practi
cally agreed to withdraw makes it im
possible for the men of both factions
to get together, Senator John C Gra
dy, of Philadelphia, chairman of the
joint republican caucus, has issued a
statatement praising the Qiay men
for their gallant stand and their party
loyalty and referring to the recent
primary elections in the different
counties which showed the people io
bs with Quay. He closes by declar
ing that the Only reasonable solution
of the controversy, is the election of
Quay, which he says is assured.

The latest plan to gtt rid of the
ground mole is to dig a bole tome two
or three feet deep along their run,
when they will fall into the hole and
perish. The Dooly (Jbuntfy farmer
who made this assertion said that be
made the discovery by digging post
holes. The posts were not put mi for
some time and when he returned be
found moles iu almost all the boles,
some dead and others alive. He has
since tried the experiment and finds it
will work to a charm in exterminating
the moles, the great pests of the far
