With the Islands rid of Aguinaldo aid a ft w of bis mischief-makers, there will be little difficulty In deal ing with the natives. They are in ore promising material than tbe Cubans. The Germans approach the Samoan difficulty with a circumspection that was not exhibited by Europeans before the Spanish war. IJowbeit Individual subjects have to resort to some of their old time bragadaclo and loudly proclaim that American mariens will not fight, and that they woulil like to set Mataafa's followers on them In the open where the na tives with their primitive weapons might match our arms of modern design. Such vaporing are silly and the.Hamoan Germans are only mak Ing a settlement of the difficulties more difficult by such talk. Report comes that Gen.

Herbert of the National Printer Journalist of Cblca go met with the Portland committee of arrangements last Tuesday even ing. He is in Oregon at this lime getting together material for the May Issue of his superb monthly. It will bean Oregon number. The cover will be Portland and sixteen pages of engraving and letter press will be de voted to the state. Mr. Herbert is much Interested In the Pacific coast and states that business men begin to recognise that the commerce of the world Is shifting from the Atlantic to the Pacific and that the time la near at hand when the trade and glory of Mew York, Boston and Philadelphia will transferred to San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. Do we who are here recognise these things? is evidence that Germany baa advis ed tbe natives to continue tbe strife. Tbe United States sent a cruiser thete commanded by Admiral Kuti England has two smaller warships there and Germany one. The factions are known as tbe Mataafans and tbe Friendlles. On March 29 the Friend- lies had a skirmish with the Mataa fans and killed some of them. A head was cut off and carried on a pole through Apia. Capt. Stewart of the English gun boat sent word to the native king that If be saw any more heads borne through the streets he would shoot the bearer. Tbe German consul wrote to Ad miral KauU asking II tbe two great Christian nations approved of this In human and barbarous practice against the laws of Christianity and the decree of the supreme court. Tbe admiral replied, agreeing with tbe consul as to the Inhumanity of tbe practice, and (pointed out that had the German consul upheld the decree of the supreme court of Jan uary there would have been no blood shed. That the custom waaanold Samoan one but was made known to the world 10 years ago when tbe beads honest German sailors were Citof by a barbarous chief called Mataafa, whom the representative of tbe great Christian nation Ger many Is now supporting. On April 1.800 of Mataafa' men ambuscaded 214 bluejackets near Apia. The fighting was terrific, the American and British tars repeated ly beating back their assailants, who sought to overwhelm them by force of numbers. Lieutenants Lansdale and Ensign Monaghar, of the U. 8. cruiser Philadelphia, and Lieutenant Freeman, of the British guuboat Taranga, were killed. After the rebels had been driven off, tbe bodies of these three officers were recovered They had been decaplated by the savage Samoan warriors. Four marines were killed. Tbe heads of the American and English officers were alterward returned by French priests, This act of barbarity was done by the Mataafans, the German's friends. The news of the conflict wss re el ved with dismay at Washington. Officials will not publicly discus the matter. Germany has demanded that the United States shall disavow the acts of Admiral Kants and applogist for ame. It Is needless to state that our government will sustain Admiral Kauts. A new commission has been ap pointed composed of Trip, American, Eliot, English, and Von Sternberg, German, and it Is expected they will start from San Francisco on the 19th. The real contending parlies are England and Germany while Amer ica Is more of an arbitrator. War will hardly result, but the matter must be carefully handled.

The stream was treacherous In that course and suddenly the party found rapids In front of them. In turning toward the shore one of the oarlocks broke when tbe the angry current upset tbe boat throwing the occupants into the seething water. Senator Reed held to the boat but the other two struck out for the shore. The boatman got out but the other two men soon diwa peered.
