Ilerr Half will succeed Hcrr Raffol,
who left Apia on Fcbrunry 22 for Her

Apia. Ilorr Half Is now on duty in

proceed to Merlin.
It wns stated to-day that tho Sa
monn question has never been nt dan

fault hits been displayed on both sides,
and Germany and the United States
propose to take action to restore or
der. Hcrr ltonc will, in nil probabil
ity, bo removed, nnd Chief Justice
Chambers Is expected to bo recalled.
Chief Justice Chambers' recall will
not bo due to his decision or to Ills
course, but to tho letter ho wrote to
his brother nnd which contnliicd'stntc
ments objectionable to the German
government, which have been commu
nicated to tho Htato department. The
otllclals say that his usefulness has
gone to some extent after tho result
of his letter, nnd Germany has inti
mated that sho would bo pleased If
some othor person were appointed ns
his successor. Within ton days it is
expected that reports will bo received
from the three consuls fully explain
ing their acts, and when theso have
been considered action will bo taken
by the two governments.
Thero Is one other point who shnll
bo king of Samoa which remains to
lis settled by diplomatic negotiation.
Germnny will Insist that Mataafa, by
reason of tho overwhelming majority
ho received nt tho election, should bo
made king, but the decision of the
chief justice and tho protocol of tho
Herlln treaty excludes htm forever
rom consideration incoauectlon with

The administration proposes to sup

inclined, and, as n majority rules, ho
will probabbly bo established on tho
