Auckland, N. Z., April 13. Dispatch es received hero from Apia, Samoa, April 1, say that a party of 105 Ameri can and British sailors wore forced to retreat to tho beach after having being caught In an ambush on a German plantation that day. Tho expedition was led. by Lieutenant Freeman, of the British third class cruiser Tauranga. Lieutenant Freeman and Lieutenant P. L. Lansdale, of tho United States cruiser Philadelphia, and Ensign J. It. Monaghan, of the United States cruiser Philadelphia, were left dead on the field. Ensign Monaghan remained to assist Lieutenant Lansdale, and was shot In retiring. Two British and" two American sailors were also killed. Tho natives engaged were somo of Mataafa's warriors. They severed tho heads of tho British and American of ficers killed. Priests of tho French mission afterwards brought the heads into Apia. , Tho manager of the German plan tation has been arrested and detained on board the Tauranga, on affidavits declaring that ho was seen urging the rebels to fight. In a previous engagement 27 of Ma taafa's warriors were killed and thera were no casualties among the European force. Eight hundred of Mataafa's men were In tho ambush, and the American and British force amounted to 105. The fighting was terrific, the American and British tars repeatedly beating back their assailants, who sought to overwhelm them by force of numbers. After tho rebels had been driven off the bodies of the three officers were re covered. Mataafa's loss was 40 killed and a number wounded, these being carried off the field by the rebels when they retired. The bodies of Lansdale, Mona ghan and Freeman, as well as thoso of the unfortunate marines, were burled with military honors at Mullnuu.

Tho acuta situation iu Samoa gave rise to gravo apprehension among officials in Wash ington, but tho conclusion was reach ed that tho situation is one that will yield to sensible and cool treatment If all the parties to the Berlin treaty ore slncero In an effort to prevent fur ther trouble. As put by a cabinet or fleer, the killing of the sailors has not materially changod tho general prob lem, though it has undoubtedly added to the difficulty of dealing with the specific situation. The only official news received touching the last inci dent was contained in Admiral Kautz'a cablegram. The secretary said that no additional Instructions were to be sent by him to the admiral. The sec retary of state, however, has been told that he Is at liberty to forward any Instructions to the admiral that he may deem necessary, but that if he concludes to do so he must act lm mediately, as the mall steamer leaves the nearest cable point for Apia this afternoon. Tho Philadelphia was shorthanded for officers before tho loss of Lleuten ant Lansdale and Ensign Monaghan, and tho department yesterday promptly sent telegraphic orders to Mare Isl and to dispatch some officers to re cruit the force. Lieutenant Schoutze goes out as executive officer, with Lloutenant W. S. Huges, Lieutenant Bchofield and Lleuteirant Heterlngton. Surgeon Steel Is ordered from the New York navy yard to the Philadel phia. All of these officers are ex pected to take the mall steamer of tho lath lnst. for Apia. The diplomatic negotiations of the day were not directed particularly to the encounter, as the official informa- tlon Is too meager thus far to warrant positive official action. There were many Inquiries, however, and the state department and tho British and Ger man embassies exchanged such ad vices as they had on the subject. In the main the diplomatic negotiations continued to center around the high commission. On this subject a breach is gradually opening between Great Britain and Germany because of the refusal of Great Britain to have the commission leave San Francisco on the 19th. The action of Great Britain In or dering two more warships to Samoa has attracted considerable attention here, and It was stated that if the British ships are bo reinforced Ger many would take similar steps and auement her naval representation In thoso waters to meet any posslblo I X I W1 III We Btartthc ball rolling at the beginning of tho season with a bannersale of Hen's, Boys' and Ghildren's Glothing I We have given special attention to tlie new noveltlca for tills spring's trade nnd, ns n result thereof, wetxpectto draw throngs of new buyers to our establishment.

General Wheaton started at daylight yesterday with tho Tenth Pennsylvania and the Second Oregon regiments nnd two guns to drive tho robots from tho American right flank, between tho railroad and tho foothills. Ho met with slight ro- Istanco near Santa Maria, and had ono man wounded. IJut tho onemy bolted when shelled by tho nrtlllory and burned and abandoned tho town of Santa Maria, whore a thousand rebols wore reported to have been concen trated. During tho rost of the day tho enemy was In full retreat towards tho mountains, burning the villages behind tho retreating force. Occasion ally a few of the rebels dropped to the rear and fired at the advancing Amer ican troops from the Jungle, apparent ly with tho Idoa that this would check our advance and cover the retreat of the Filipinos. Hut, finding these tactics Ineffectual, theso rebels scram bled after the main body. General Wheaton has tolegraphed to Major Geuoral Otis, saying: "Thoy would not wait to be killed." The American guard along the rail road has been materially strengthened, and it Is not likely tho rebels will suc ceed In getting In tho futuro to as close quarters as they did on Tuesday, oven if thoy return to tho mountains.

The United States Philippine com mission is hearing tho leading resi dents of various nationalities, priests and Spaniards, numbers oi them ap pearing voluntarily, on tho subject of tho future of tho Islands. Tho ques tions put to all aro: Do you believo the Filipinos aro ca pable of self government In the town ships? Do you believo the Filipinos aro ca pable of self government In the prov inces? Do you believo tho Filipinos aro ca pable of self government in the archi pelago? All of thoso who have been Interro gated, including Filipinos who sym pathize theoretically with Independ ence, have replied to tho third ques tion, with remarkable unanimity. In the negative. Independence, they say, would result in chaos, endless tribal wars and European Intervention. A few of them think that provincial self government Is practicable, but most of them favor self government In the townships, with a form of American supervision protecting the inhabitants against the peculations and extortions which tholr experience with the Span ish regime has led them to consider the natural perquisites of officialdom. Tho commercial classes urge the sending of detachments of American troops, each numbering about 100 men, to take possession of the towns in the southern provinces and in tho Vis- ayas islands, now held by small bands of Tagalos. They declare the natives find the Tagalo oppression worse than Spanish oppression, and that they will welcome the Americans. The case of tbe inhabitants of Gubat, in the prov ince of Sorsogon, Is cited as a typical Instance. The Spanish taxes amounted to $18,000, but the rebel Tagalos ex tort $112,000 from the people of Gubat.

Edward Mc Kay, of Iluena Vista, Vs.. a member of the executive committee of the United Mine Workers' association, and George W. Schlenderburg, a 1'ltUburg coal op. era tor, who employs 2.000 miners, were the wltnensea before the Indus trial commlaalon yesterday. Mr. Mc Kay said the association had grown from 16,000 members In 1S77 to 80,000 In 1999, had obtained a reduction In hours from ten to eight and an In crease of wages of 20 per cent. The troubles In the Pittsburg district dur ing the past five years, he said, could be traced to the New York and Cleve land Gas Coal company. They em ployed non-union men. he said, and did everything In their power to pre vent union men from coming In con tact with their employes. This com pany he aald. was responsible for the reduction of the wages of 45.000 men, though It only employed 1,000. Mr Scblenderhurg said his remem brance of labor unions In the coal re gions extended back 30 years. At that time the unions were overbearing, but of late years they had been more sat isfactory, especially since there had been closer relations between tbem nnd tho mine operators. He said his principal objection to unions was that they were not able to enforce condi tions In competitive districts where the product of the mines competed with theirs. He deprecated strikes, which ho said were Injurious to the operator, minor and community. Un organized miners brought on more trouble than union men. and since the operators and union had been work ing together less trouble had been experienced. Tho miners lived better now than they did 26 years ago. Or ganized labor, he said, had helped to hold wages tip and had helped to raise tho standard of men. A BABY BOY.
