CONFLICTING REPORT.
I atMt Artvlnea from Numow of a Komn. what :Htradltrv Nalnr The lermwN roHSHlate awl Wore at Apia S iht to HaVH lleea llHriiod-ttriHiuiy Per. ploxed and KHglautt lHtertett tlver tha C!oHrso of KvphU. Lonoon, Jan. 32. A dWnatch from Auckland annoutices that tlte German gimboat Klwr atrlvtMl there Sunday from the Kamoail Islands. The Kber reiHUti that the fighting had ceased when sho left Apia, and that the German Consulate and two German stores adjoining had been destroyed by fire. This news from Samoa ,ium u commotion In the Foreign Office
t Berlin, and is beirluulng to attract tlte
attention of the British Government. There is an apparent contradiction between the reports received via Sun Fran
cisco, and those via Auckland, the former bavin it that the American houses were
burned by the Germaus, and tho hitter
that the German Consul's residence and 1 two German houses adjoining were de utroyed, presumedly by Matuufa's people. It is probable, however, that both ueeountft are correct, that brought by tho Gorman gunboat Kbcr to New Zealand yesterday being necessarily of n Inter date, as that
vessel was reported to no sun :u -aptu, when the steamer Alameda, which brought tlte news to Sati Francisco, left tho inlands. Mataufa hail threatened to destroy German property if the Germans continued to fire upon his people, and in nil likelihood ho had occasion to curry out his threat after the burning of the American houses in Matagufgel by the Germans. England is quite n much interested as tho United States in the affair, now that British property and subjects are Imperiled. In tho absence of official or authentic advices from the scene of disturbance, tho British nm-.irimiiMit him not followed the course
.if tint United Stntes In taking decided
action, but it is reiKirted that Lord Sulishurvhas assured Mr. Phelps, the Ainer
IcanMlnister.tliat England will co-operate
with tho United States in putting n stop
to isornmn uL'irrosslon in Samoa if inter
national law and treaty stipulations have
Im. n violated.
If the German Government has received
nn official report of the lntostproceedings iu the Samoas from the Eberat Auckland,
It ha not thouiflit best to make It public,
The meager dispatches received over the New Zealand and Australian cables is all
we have, and it simply states that tlio iter
mnn Consulate and store-nouses mm oeeu
doatroved. and that fighting had ceased.
It is ouitc evident mat me prompt ucuoa
of the American Government in ordering
iiw.ii.rif.wHr to Samoa has perplexed tno
Germaus aS much as it has pleased uto
British authorities. It is statid on trust u-nrtbv imtliorltv that the British Govern
ment has decided to uphold the treaty by
the terms of which European powers are
precluded from obtaining or attempting to obtain dominance In Samoa. The government has boon fully Informed of and shares iu the United States Government's views ou the subject. It is agreed that
the action of tin? German ugutil in fumoa is opposed to the letter and spirit of
the treaty, and that it violates uipioiu.uiu
etiquette and endangers me goon rem
tious so necessary ror i-.uropeniis in pr--Kcrve when dealing with semi-barbarous nations. Dispatches to this effect have
beeti sent to Berlin.
Lord Salisbury's latest news from pia
is of a threatening nature. 111 consequence of these advices the British fleet
in tho Pacific win no incrwuncu un -atelv bv at least two powerful vessels.

MINISTER PHELPS' RECALL. How th A'tlH f lb" IfHltod State ShvrrnmeHl Ih Withdrawing II MloUler Proot liHiclatid uVlewedbv t'HpriJtidieed Kitgllsli lyo-Mr. Pliolps Depwrlnre SlHoir.ly Kogroltcd. Nkw Yokk, Jan.iW. The. Tribune' Iondolt wiieclal Hays; The American Minister Monday afternoon had his lam official interview with Itrd Salisbury at the Foreign Office. 1 imagine, therefore, the British Foreign Miuister now understand that the departure of Mr. Phelps from England at this moment is not due to the fact that a Kepubllenu President will lie Inaugurated next March. Lord Hulisbury knfws that Mr. I'helps would, naturally, have remained here another two months. Tlte Foreign Office people know it too, and they know that Mr. Phelps goes home because the British Legation at Washington is vacant. This useful knowledge will gradually filter
down into Ihe general English mind. It will bo understood here by the time Mr. Phelps Kteps on board tho steamer at
Southampton that the diplomatic urtront offered the American Government by Lord Salisbury bus been roMoutcd In the correct diplomatic way. Mr. Phelps' conduct
throughout thisdlftlcult business lias been, ho fur as an outsider has means of judg
ing, energetic iu more direction than one. He has hIiowii firmness and courage. Ho appreciated the delicacy of the situation from the beginning of the Sackvillo incident, and lie has never, I
think, varied lu his view of what ought to bo done. Americans have to thank him for his untliuchiug iiisisstnnce upon an
American view. Americans in London sincerely regret ills going, and none more o than those who have urged it as the only means by which the Amerlcaa Government could express its oplnlou of Lord Salisbury's conduct.
