THE EVENING CALL. 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.

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.

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.

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.
