Washington. March 14. After numer- i
ous conferences am! the exchange of
Boten between Secretary liny, the Hrit
jgh ar.bassador and the German ambus-i
taJor, a satisfactory understanding has
beeu reached between the three powers
Interested in Samoa as to the conditions
there. This seeks to oien a new ac-
tount to the affnirs of Samoa, and to
obliterate the troubles anion: ollhials
which have recently occurred there. To
this end Dr. Wilhelm Solf, who hat i
Ueeu nominated by Uermany as iresi- ,
ileut of the municipal council at Apia, to j
lueceed Dr. Haffel, will be reeogninod by j
the British and ITnitcd Slates author!- ;
ties. Already this recognition is as
nured, but it remains for the consull a:
Apia to carry it into formal effect, in
accordance witn tile leiter or ine ircniy
of Berlin. In order that this limy pave
the way to an agreeable and harmonious
adjustment Dr. Solf will go to London
ami make hiniNclf acquainted with the
authorities there and afterwards come
to Washington ami become acquainted
with our officials, so that there may lie
mutual understandings. Dr. Solf will
teach Washington the latter part of thi
month. He will (hen proceed to Samoa,
reaching there in May. His assumption
of the municipal presidency, with 1 1 a - up
proral Of the three powers, is expected to
smooth out matters among the offlciala
am) go a long way towanl adjusting the
eutire matter.
The officials of the three powers have
decided not to attempt a settlement of
the Romoon kingship for the present.
That is left open for adjustment when
each of the three powers have had ap
opportunity to secure full information. In
the meantime the statu quo is to lie
maintained. The last advices indicated
that Mntiiafa was exercising de facto
kingship, while Malietoa was on board
the British ship Porpotae and had the
support of the British and American au
thorities. According to the understand
ing reached there will lie no move to per
niaiiontly establish one or the other of
thesi claimants on the throne. The
liest wishes of tile Samoan people will
Is' consulted, and with a more ngr ible
feeling among the officials of the three
powers the kingship will be settled by a
full conference as soon as all the in
formation on the subject is outlined.
In the conferences leading up to the
present understanding it developed that
Dr. Haffel was recalled from his post
at Samoa last November, but he per
sisted in stnying after his recall, and his
presence appears to have had much to
do in precipitating the trouble. Dr. Solf,
who'succceds him as president, is de
scribed as an accomplished diplomat,
with service in Calcutta, and more re
cently as district judge of the German
colony of Dar-a-Snnm. in South Africa.
It is a post similar to that of .Judge
'hambcrs' in Samoa.
WHEATON'S ONWARD MARCH.

Patcros Captured by Our Troops.
Manila, March 14. General Wheaton
attacked and captured the city of l'asig,
east of Manila, yesterday afternoon. The
enemy made a stand for an hour, but at
the end of that time were forced to re
treat. The loss of the Filipinos was ,'t(l
killed and 10 prisoners. Of the United
States forces one man wns killed and
eight wounded.
Supported by the Oregon volunteers,
the advance force of cavalry opened
a heavy fire on the rebels. The response
waa feeble and desultory, apparently
coming from a handful of meu in every
covert. Whjle the right column was
swinging towards the town of l'asig.
the left advanced, pouring volleys into
the bush. A small body of rebels made a
determined stand at (iuada loupe church,
hut the enemy was unable to withstand
the assault.
Orudunlly our troops advanced, in
flicting heavy losses on the rebels. First
the villages of Guadaloupe, San Nicolo
and Pateros were captured one nfter the
other. At Pasig the insurgents made
u stand for nn hour, but Scott's battery
shelled the town vigorously and at the
end of that time they retreated again,
and l'asig fell' into the hands of the
Americana.

MAY DISARM THE CUBANS.
Rbould They Defuse to Accept Onr
Uoveruiueaf 98,000,000 Offer.
Havana. March 14. A public mani
festation upon the part of the different
patriotic clubs, in which the general
public assisted, was held at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The people who
took part in the demonstration marched
with music and banners to Qoidta,
where they expressed to t Ieneral GotSe
their adherence to himsel:' and their dis
approval of the action of the Cuban
assembly in removing him from the of
fice of general iu chief of the Cuban
ana) .
The police bad lievu ordered to prevent
the demonstration, lint they were power
less. Finally the crowds began to at
tack the police, and the Twentieth re.,
ulars were sent to disperse them, which
was accomplished without injury to H
single person.
While the people were cheering Gomel
and crying "Down with the assembly"
that body was iu session, and uiauy fiery
speeches were made. A v t" of expul
sion was passed on Setter 4 5 ,:a io.-: !
Quesiula for being "a traitor to the a
xctnbly and ati accomplice of Gomea."
Should a portion of the Cuban army
support the military assembly iu re
jecting the (fomez-Porter agreement
and iu refusing to disband without a
larger sum than K8,000,O00, forcible dis
armament, iii the opinion of Americana
well qualified to judge, WOUld follow.
This is the only grave fact in an other
wise entertaining sequence of incidents.
The United States is completely com
mitted to the arrangement made by
Robert 1'. Porter, President McKlulcy'a
special representative, with General
Gomes, mid the details of the plan of
distribution are already far advanced.
The opinion of Cuban civilians is thai
a considerable portion of the army,
probably the larger pnrt, upholds Gen
eral' Gomei in his contract with th"
United Suites, and therefore the Amer
ican military administration sees m
oilier COUraC open than tile forcible (lis-
irnting of any faction of the Cuban
oops which, after being duly warned,
should persist in keeping the field.
Heinuev Acquitted of Murder,
Media. Pa., March 14. The jury in
the case of Minns Delaney, charged with

Sampson's lleiiuest to Seeritni-y Long
Washington, March 14. Secretary
Long has received a letter from Bear
Admiral Sampson in which the admiral,
uffer referring to the allegation! thai
the list of ofBcera recommended for pro
motion for gallantry off Santiago hud
failed of confirmation because it includ
ed his name, asked the sccreary to im
mediately reappoint these Officers, omit
ting his own name. Secretary Long will
not accept the suggestion made by Ad
miral Sampson. The matter will be al
lowed to remain just as it stands until
the next congress meets, and then all of
the nominations will be sent in precisely
us they stood at the end f the last ses
sion. Volunteers COItiltKg Home From Cuba.
Washington, March 14. The war de
partment has determined to muster out
nnd bring home all the volunteers now iu
Cuba with the exception of the volun
teer engineers and Immunes, The neces
sity for immediate action has been
brought to the attention of the war de
partment on account of the quarantine
regulations against Cuba, which go into
effect about the 1st of May, ami which
are especially strict at all southern ports.
When the troops nre brought to this
country they must, under the law, be
mustered out in the United States camps,

Yarmouth, N. S., March 14. The mag
nificent Allan line steamer Cnstilian,

slim. Captain Barrett and the first ami
second officers still remain on her. All
the rest of the Officers and crew are now
in Yarmouth. The steamers which
came up yesterday brought cabin fit

Most of the stock was still living, but

feared cannot be saved.
