AUCKLAND , N. J5. , March 30. The
steamship Alameda from Samoa Islands
> rlnga news of a mos serious outbreak
Ihcro which would seem to Indicate that
Jho United States , Great Britain and Ger
many will bo called upon to take prompt
action.
According to the reports brought he > o by
the Alameda , the outbreak was caused by
the action of Henry Ido , the American chief
justice , who succeeded Chief Justice Ceder-
crantz on September C , 1802. Chief Justice
Ido Is charged with fining and throwing Into
Jail the chiefs of the rival factions In Samoa
and with compelling them to work on the
roads like convicts of the lowest order. The
natives protested strongly and made all
kinds ot threats , but the chief justice ap
pears to have disregarded the menacing at-
tltudo assumed by the Samoans and event-
uallly the latter broke out Into armed re-
The followers of the native chiefs dis
puted the right of the Europeans to Inter
fere In what they classed as purely native
affairs , while making no actual opposition
to the state Of affairs by which the United
Stat08NGreat'Brl < aln and Germany , through
Chief Justice Ido , practically maintained a
protectorate over Samoa.
Eventually , however , the situation assumed
such a serious aspect that the chief Justice
was compelled to take tcps to disarm the
iiatlves and the latter made preparations to
resist this so-called Interference with their
rights.
The fighting began by the rebels killing a
man In the employ of the government , who
was caught near their camp.
The reigning soverlgn , Tvlng Mallotoa ,
seems to have remained thoroughly loyal to
the chief justice , for , upon being called upon
to do so , ho promptly sent a strong force of
liU Ha moan warriors to attack the rebels.
Several sharp encounters between King Mai-
lotoa's warriors and natives commanded by
the rebellious chiefs followed. During the
ingagomcnt thirty men were killed and about
fifty wounded.
Throughout the fighting , up to the time
the steamship Alameda left Samoa , the ad
vantage was mostly on the govornhent's
Bide , the rebels being driven from their
camp and forced to retreat Into the Interior
ot the Island , wuero It was dltllcuU to pur-
DUO them.
But the most serious feature of the out
break U that It has BO enraged the natives
that they are said to bo taking stops looking
to a general uprising. King Mallutoa's
troops are charged with having terribly
mutilated a prisoner who fell In their hands ,
with having burned the houses ot Inoffensive
natives and with having outraged a number
of native women whoso male relatives had
taken part In the rebellion. The troops of
the king are also charged with a number of
other atrocities. In which the beheading of
the dead U said to have been a cpmmou oc

war ship1 of spme nation Is most anxiously
awaited. * The foreign consuls arc doing
their utmost to prevail upon the rebels to
submit , but up to the time the steamsnip
left their efforts had proved fruitless.
In considering the 'statements made
against Chief Justice Ide , the fact must
not be lost sight of that they probably
emanate from .people who are possibly cp- <
posed to life American representative , end
It Is believed here that when the whole
affair has been thoroughly sifted It will bo
found that the action ot Chief Justice Ido
has not been so severe as his enemies as

The Samoan Islands consist ot Inn In
habited and two uninhabited Islands In the
western I'aclflc , having an area of about
1,700 square miles and a population of about
30,000. A most distressing state of affairs
prevailed In Samoa In ISO- , the Islands wera
threatened with total bankruptcy and de.stl-
tutlon. In April of that year the resigna
tions of Chief Justice Ilerr Von Ceder-
crantz and ot the president of the munici
pality of Apia , the capital. Herr von Pll-
sach , were announced. Soon after this
fighting between the rival forces of Mallc-
tea and Matanfa began , but the fighting
was stopped by the Intervention of war
ships from the United States , Great Britain
and Germany , and Matanfa finally surren
dered , and with ten of his chief supporters
was banished to Kaltaofo Island , ono of the
Union group , and others of the rebels were
fined and Imprisoned.

CHICAGO , March 30. The Burlington

Charges were made that It had sold two

each , a cut of $1 from the regular , rate , and
that on the day following this transaction
It sold four similar tickets for a total of $41 ,
a reduction of $1.25 on each ticket. It
stoutly denies the charges , but the associa
tion levied a flno of $350 , from which the
DurlliiKton appealed to the Western Passen

All the western roads have voted to con
tinue the sale of Midwinter fair tickets be

COLON , March 30. It is reported hero
that Nlcaraguans threaten to make a second
seizure of the Mosquito reservation.
An American citizen Is said to have been
shot by order of Acting Governor Rama.
The British war ship Canada Is waiting
for a reasonable tlmo at Blucficlds In antici
pation ot the arrival of the United States
flagship San Francisco with Admiral Ben-
ham on board.
The situation of affairs at Blueflelds Is
said to bo most critical.
NEW ORLEANS , March 30. Two ves
sels have arrived hero from Blueflelds ,
Nicaragua. United States Consul Seal and
Mr. West from the latest advices will leave
for Washington today.
Mr. John McCaffcrty , a wealthy planter
of Minefields , In n letter to the Picayune
after describing the occurrences In Blue-
fields during the temporary occupation by
the British marines , says : "No sooner
had the British marines been withdrawn
and the vessel steamed away than the very
unreliable and Incapable Lacayo brought
thirty soldiers and several boxes ot arms
and ammunition from Rama. This was In
direct violation of an agreement entered
Into by and between Lacayo and the
British consul In the presence of Hon. 8. C ,
Bralda , United States consul , that Nlcara
guan soldiers will neither bo brought to
Bluefields , nor would Nlcaraguans bo put
on the police force during the absence of
the British war ship. The presence of
thcso Nlcaraguans on the river steamer
created great excitement. In less than ten
minutes fully 10,000 citizens , Americans and
Creoles , were armed with , revolvers. It
was a trying moment. Owing , however , to
tha timely action ot the United States con
sul , Lacayo was again brought to terms' ,
binding himself this tlmo to confine these
Intruders to his residence quarters. If one
shot had been fired there would not have
been a Nlcaraguan left allvo In Blueflelds
Inside of thirty minutes thereafter , Includ
ing l.acayo , who , beyond doubt , deserves
to be shot for the many outrages ho has
perpetrated against the Inhabitants of Blue-
fields and the Mosquito reservation.
A general meeting of the .citizens was
then convened , when the action of the
Americans was endorsed , which was that
no assistance should be rendered to'Lacayo
and that the Americans would remain
neutral pending the arrival of a United
States war ship , unless It should become
necessary to defend their homes and prop
erty , when , even then , they would be di
rected by the United States consul.
"I must allow that owing to the per-
fldloueness of Lacayo and the hypocritical
antagonism of the British consul , Hon. C.
8 , Bralda has been subjected to n most
trying ordeal , and more especially as he
has received no Instructions from either
United States Minister Baker or the de

ment will be , on 'or before the 28th , fully
Informed on all matters * , connected with
the unsatisfactory condition of affairs
within the Mosquito , reservation , and for
which Lacayo Is responsible.
"While every true American must be In
favor of the Monroe doctrine , the right ,
however , of the Mosquito Indians to control
themselves according to their own laws and
customs within the reservation , as defined
In the treaty of Managua , should also be en
forced by the government of the United
States. For , If the government of Nicara
gua should now assume the direction of af
fairs at Blueflelds and the Mosquito reserve ,
the several growing Industries created and
carried on by Americans , and In which
Millions are Involved , would at once be de
stroyed by arbitrary taxation. "

Dluoflelds says that unless an American
war ship reaches tliero shortly the Interests
of the country will suffer. "News has been
'
received from llama to-'the effect that Wil
liam Wilson , an American , was shot last
night by the governor of ; llama , " he writes.
"Wilson died this morning. The governor ,
a Nlcaraguan , refused to let a boat leave
Rama last night with Wilson , who might
have been saved If brought here for treat
ment. Great excitement prevails here this
afternoon. One shot 11 red here would causa
the death of every Nlcauraguan Jn lilue-

SAN FRANCISCO , March 30. T. H. Hub-
bard , who Is attorney for Edward Searles ,
and who was the representative of the Hop
kins Interestsln the Central and Southern
Pacific companies , said today that the slg-
nlflcanco In the recent changes In the Cen
tral Pacific directorate was more than any
thing else a pacification of the English
shareholders.
The Examiner says : "It Is known that
those gentlemen are violently protesting
agalnbt the cutting off of their dividends
and something had to bo dona to quiet their
nerves. They objected to a contract con
summated by two boards of directors when
the personnel of both was almost Identical ,
They were surprised to learn that the di
rectors of the Central and Southern I'aclflc
companies had been making contracts with
themselves that disastrously affected the In
terests of so many outsiders. Thebo corn.-
plalnts being heard , the personnel of the
Central Pacific was agreed on so that no
man shall bo called on to serve both com
panies at the same time. "
Touching the settlement of the bond
quebtlon , the Indebtedness of the Central
Pacific to the United States and the govern
ment's assumption of the first mortgage
bonds by Issuing now bonds to run twenty-
five years , Mr. Hubbard said that nothing
effective could bo done by the company.
Isaac Huiia ( | of tha now director ! ! , the
Examiner says , is u great personal friend of
C. P. Huntlngton. J. O. U. Gunn , the other
director , Is not known to have a large In
terest In the Central Pacific. It Is stated
that both thcso directors are merely
automata , elected to do the bidding of Hunt
lngton. The English nhareholdcrs have
been maUIng telegraphic demands for a more
equitable consideration , and , In response to
these demands , C. P. Huntlngton directed
his agents In the new directorate to make
another alteration In the lease between the
Southern Pacific and Central Pacific. "Tho
Britishers , " says the Examiner , "asked that
the provision for paying $1,300,000 In divi
dends to Central Pacific shareholders bo
icstored In the lease. This demand was not
acceded to , liut Mr. Huntlngton , who Is
fond of a Joke , has ordered the Insertion of
a clause which says the payment of $1,300-
000 In dividends should bo resumed as noon
as the earnings of the Central Pacific com
pany shall warrant such action. This Is u
sample of grim humor that the London stock
holders are expected to appreciate and ap

IMPORTANT CASE IN PROBATE COURT
Money of n Minor Ilclr Loaned to n Itrothor
of Kx-Jndgo I'.ller and Secured by
flloYtgaBefi on I.nml of Very
Uncertain Value.
The attention of Judge Baxter of tha
probate court was directed to the facts In a
case ot nloro than usual Importance yesterday
when ho called a guardian upon the carpet
to give testimony upon the subject ot
whether or not ho had been true to his
trust.
Three years ago Hurt G. Wheeler , who at
that tlmo was the stenographer In Juclgo
Wakeley'a court , died , leaving a young
widow and a baby girl , the latter but n few
days old. Shortly after this F. K. Mc-
Mullen , who. had been ono of Hurt O.
Wheeler's schoolmates , was appointed
administrator of the estate and In March ,
1802 , ho paid to J. W. Eller , who was then
probate judge , the sum of $1,000 , one-half ot
which was , by the court , turned over to the
widow , the balance remaining In court for
the minor child , pending the appointment of
a guardian. The mother and her little babe
wont to the old homo at Olearflcld. la. ,
and a few months later the woman
"Elckencd and died , leaving a will , by
the terms of which she bequeathed all her
property to her child , and naming her
brother , John M. Long , as guardian. Long
was appointed guardian ot the child's Inter
ests In Iowa , after which ho nied a peti
tion for the same position In this county.
Not being able to secure u bond , the ap
plication was rejected , after which F. E.
McMulIen filed his application for the
guardianship , but there was never any no-
tlco served upon him Indicating that the
court had considered the matter.
In the meantime the $2,000 was In the
hands of J , W. Idler , then county Judge ,
where It remained until January 3 , 1894 ,
when ho appointed Uus Iloinel guardian ,
with Sherman Wllcox and Den Mel < | ulst aa
bondsmen.
A few weeks ago McMulIon discovered that
the money was not In the possession ot the
present judge of the probate court , and at
once began an Investigation , which re-
eultod In the bringing ot the present suit.
'McMulIen claims to have discovered that
from a financial standpoint the guardian U
not ot the best , and that the bondsmen are
far from being millionaires. The proof
that was Introduced shows that with
out any authority , the money which should
bo In the hands of the court , was loaned to
J. M. Kllor , a brother of the man who wua
county judge at the tlmo when the loan wait
made , the notes being endorsed by J. W.
Bller. U also showed that just before J. W.
Kller went out of olHco , the notes were can
celed and the whole of thu $2,000 again
loaned to J. M. Idler , payment being secured
by the giving of a mortgage upon a quarter
section of land In Klmhall county , ono of tha
extreme western counties In the Btato , and
situated right In the midst of the sandhills
that abound In that locality. The proof went
further and showed that the land was pur
chased from the Union 1'aelllc company thrco
years irgo at $1.BO per acre , and that land In
that vicinity U now being sold for from $3
to J3.0 per acre.
In pacing upon the cane Judge Daxter haa
Untied a. citation for the. guardian to appear
and show cause why ho should not bo re
moved , and also why null uliould not ba
brought upon his bonds.
