Many people who had settled there to engage i business have left on recount of the trouble, but I expect that they will return as soon as definite arrangements are made with Germany and other powers. I do not believe there will be any, trouble in making this settle ment.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, MARCH
The fur collar of his hewy military cloak was turned up so as to conceal his featu es from view, and but few would have imagined that the solitary officer wending his way through the dark streets on foot, unattended by either sides or servants, was the heir apparent to the Austrian throne. The Duke and Count Hoyos, together with the equerry of the Crown Prince, then got on to the drag and starter the horses in the direction of Meyerling, where they arrived about three hours inter.

-AUCKLAND, January 31st. Samoin advices say that the Germans have declared war against Matania, and that probably all the Samoans will join against the Germans.
Later advices from Samoa state that the Ger man officials have given notice that all vessels arriving there will be searched for articles con- traband of war. They have suppressed the Samoan Times. A passenger on the British steamer Wainai, who recently visited Mataafas camp, was placed under arrest, but was subsequently released, in compliance with the demand of the British Consul. A proclamation has been issued placing the Apia police force under German control."
The Samoan Times is owned by an English, man nained Cusack, who has not hesitated to denounce the interference of the Germans in
Samoan affairs. It is reported that several times German sailors have made hostile demonstra- tions against the Times office.
Mataifa's followers number 6000. They are strongly intrenched, and other Samoans are rapidly joining them. Upon the arrival of the steam Richmond she was boarded and searched by the Germans.

PARIE, February 1st. Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria met bis death at the hands of the greatest nobicman of the empire, who shot the Archduke for the pur pose of avenging the betrayal of his wife by the heir apparent.
The following is stated to be an authentic account of the tragedy and of the circumstances in connection therewith. On Sunday night the Crown Prince appeared at a ball given by the German Embassador, Prince Reuss, in honor of Kaiser Wilhelm's birthday. Both the Archduke, as well as his father, the Emperor, who was also present, ware uniforms of the Prussian regiments of which they hold honorary coloncicles. The Archduke was in the highest, spirits his laughter rang through the rooms and he ap- peared to enjoy himself amazingly. He, however, Broused some comment by paying rather marked attention to a very beautiful princess, whose husband, a member of one of the oldest familles, of princely rank in Austria, is almost as well
known in Paris as at Vienna,
At about 1 o'clock in the morning the Arch. duke escorted his wife, the Crown Princess
|
o'clock, the Crown Prince spent the remainder of the day nut on the hills and made no mention or reference to the unpleasant ending of the adventure to his friends.. On Tuesday his old valet. Johann, who has attended him from his boyhood, noticed that his master was very much worried, and on asking what was the matter was rather curtly told that it was nothing.
|
On Wednesday morning the Crown Prince awoke very carly. He called to Johann to open the blinds and bring him his letters. It should be mentioned that the shooting lodge at Meyer- Hing is a small, two-story building, and that the Crown Prince occupied an apartment on the ground floor, scarcely five fret above the level, of the garden. On opening the blinds, the valet remarked that there were two strange men in the garden, and mentioned the fact to the Arc duke. The latter carelessly replied that they were probably some of the beaters come for ders. Then, sitting up in bed, he propped pillow up against the window, and leaning his head against it, commenced "to read his letters, evidently in a state, of great excitement and worry. Johana then left the room to prepare the coffee, but meeting Count Hoyos in the hall, said: "There are two men in the garden whom I have never seen before and whose looks. I don't like "
a
Just then's shot was heard. All rushed to the Crown Prince's room, where a terrible spectacle presented itself. A window pane was smashed into a thousand pieces, the Archduke lay dead in bed with the back of his skull shattered and brains scatered on the sheets. The strangers in the garden were seen to jump the fence and to mount' horses. Like lightning they dis appeared into the forest, hot, however, 'before Count Hoys had recognized in them the husband and brother of the Princess with whom Rudolph had danced frequently at the German Imbausy ball. As the Crown Prince reclined in his bed with his 'back turned to the light while reading his letters, the wronged husband must have had time to take deadly aim.
The general impression is that the Chamber of Deputies will complete its legal term' of office, and gen' ral elections will not ocer until October. The majority on the vote expressing confidence in the Gövemgent yesterday was composed of Republicans altogether. The minority included 169 members of the Right, 14 Boulangists and 51 Republicans. The Radical journals co gra- tulate the members of thal party that a crisis has been avoided. They claim that the Ministerial question was solved by the vote.
The Opport- unist organs declare that the Government has been merely respited for a few days. The Boulangist papers consider the Government lost,

LONDON, February 3rd. The Standard's Berlin correspondent sys; In spite of the unmistakable friction with Ameri- cani nobody here fears that there is any danger of the Samoan affair leading to war between the two nations. Germany will, in fact, make friendly proposals, which, doubtless, the Govern ment at Washington will finally accept. The German officiats In Samoa are now represented as having exceeded and misunderstood their instructions, but the last thing that semi-official organs can be expected to confess is the palpable fact that in the presence of the strong feeling aroused in America, Germany has found it politic to beat a retreat.
The Notional Zeitung thinks that the know- ledge of Prince Bismarck's disavowal of the acts of the German officials in Samoa would come with a better grace from the German than the American Government. "As for the rest," it says, "defiant speeches in America will just as little provoke Germany to take any unwar rantable step as they will prevent her maintain- ing her just rights.”'
