Th stwmr Alameda arrived here yesterday morula Croat Samoa. A correspondent, writiug from Apia, under date of January , says; A wo.t serious sUUt of affairs exist ia Siatea. Ou tb nijckt of DihhjwWr 1$ some ilor.s from the Carman raea of-ma Adler, Olsa and Rber attaeksd Mataafa' soldier, under direction of the IWhwu ('oasul ad Captain Fritz, the weaior German naval omeer in port. Asa irMHlt of the encounter, twenty-two Ger iman sailors were killed aud thirty-two wouimWhI. Since then the German warships hare burned the Aniericau housed Mui nag and torn down the United states Mag. They also seised some American "Citin8 in the neutral water of Apia harsher and hare taken them prisoners on ihoard the Herman meuof -var. A boat's erew from a German vessel ia command of an officer shot at the Captain aud J teaant of an Kuglish man-of-war. Fuller advices from Samoa state that the recent battle between the Germans aud native has entirely changed the situation in Hatnoa. Germany is determined to crush Mataafa, and set its own creature, Tamasesa, the rebel leader, on the krone, so that the kingdom would virtually bo under Germany's rule. The detail of the last battle, in which the German were repulsed with severe loss, are a follows? On November 99, Mataafa attacked Twsa, who occupied Latiianan, carried the outworks, aud surrouuded Xaatasesa, except on the sea side. Ma taafa's loss was tifty-ftve killed and. thirty " -wounded. Tanuvsesa lost thirty-eight killed and forty wounded. Quiet followed uutil December 18, when several boats 'from the German man-of-war lauded two hu aired sailors and a body ofTamasesa's nenata point Iwtween Mataafa's posiHon and Apia, and on the latter'a Hank, tin tending to cut off Mataafa's communication with Apia. This force was reinforced by two hundred blacks from the plantations managed by Captain Hafua.gal, a German. Some of Mataafa's men who had gathered near to watch, opera tons were ordered back by the Germans, but continued to pros forward. The German officer ordered his men to fire. "The chief's son was killed by this volley. '.Shortly after the chief also was killed, . and several women were wounded. .Mataafa returned with such rapidity and precision that Tamasesa's men and tat Germans wer forced to retreat after half an hour's desperate fighting. The .plantation house was reached and occupied and barricaded. A messenger waa dispatched to Apia to report their situation. Shortly afterwards the German war-ships Olgo, Adler and Eber steamed to the locality, and after shelling tho ."bush ia the viciuitr, rescued the defeated party. The Germans lost twenty-two killed, including two officers, and thirtytwo wounded. Mataafa's loss was nine i killed and fourteen wounded. Four of these were killed by shells from the ship'. December 21 tho Germans issued a proclamation ordering Mntaafa to sur'reader Or thoy would bunt the town of Mataafsgatel. No attentidi was paid to the threat, and aftet an hour's bombard -tho place was sot ou fire by the sailors. ' Several American, houses displaying tho American, flag f-hared the common fate. Mataafa then gave notice if any moro native property was destroyed by tho Germans, he would in turn destroy all German property in Samoa. It is ssid ho is in a position to destroy a million aud a half dollars worth of property. Captain Mallaae of the American war ship 2vipsic protested against the bombardment, but no attention wa paid to him. The Germans declare they are not trylnt to crush Mataafa. The British Consul advised the English residents to go aboard Ik man-of-war Royalist or to the British Consulate as more trouble Is expected. The American, British and German -consuls met in conference over the situation, but the conference suddenly ended when the German Consul declared that lke only basis ou which he would consider a settlement was the surrender of '.Mataafa. At last accounts Mataafa was entrenched six miles from Apia with Uro thousand men well armed. Tarnaaesa is in a fort seven tulles distant with .seven thousand men. Waited States Consul Blacklock ha-i "telegraphed all the facts respecting the situation here, informing Secretary Bayard that the American flag has been det at and torn down ami burned by the Germans; that American citizens have been taken prisoners by the Germans, and adds that the lives aud property of American citizens are ia great odanger. Tlie th at r'ililngtoB. Washinotox, Jan. 30. A copy of tht dispatch in regard to the alleged insults U Americans and the American flag at Samoa by German soldiers was shown to .Secretary Bayard last evening, lie said the disturbance was undoubtedly the iwuae as that briefly described by Consul SMacklock in his cable message to the De imrttaent on the 5th inst. The Consul's accott..t, he said, was not nearly so sensa' tkmalas the one just received from Saa Francisco, but eontalned later informa tion, as it told that the Americans who were seized had been released immediate' ily afterward. The Secretary added that slbe Department is la constant commnntcation with Samoa, and the latest inform ation received is that aflalrs are quiet, and that no serious trouble has occurred since the 5th inst.

I think that the tenor of roy wmmunlcat4o, taken In conjuactlois with Scn'5ry V hitney's Instructions to Admiral KimWrly, meet the situation at Samoa as it has tvstj reprcienfsl tons. In Secretary Whitney's m.tructifta t AdmlndKlmberly, who Is to tiit for Samoa on the Trenton, the Sccury said: "You will at once proceed to Samoa and extend fall protection and defense to American citizen.

As to what may happen when Kimherlr comes up alongside the German men-of-war in the waters of Samoa, Secretary Uayard is not willing to say, further than that he has no doubt the Admiral will carry ou j " iustructioas to the letter.
