The United Press correspondent at Apia, Samoii, writing under date of August 15, per steamer Mariposa, which arrived yesterday afternoon, says: Since the last mail the forces in arms have not Wen entirely idle, and events have Iven of an Interesting character. About a fortnight ago the re Wis destroyed the houses of the government supporters at the Talealili. The sufferers subsequently made their way to the homes of the depredators and killed six men, Wheading them and bringing their ears to Apia. Chief Justice Ide met the party on its return and expressed great indignation that the letter of the anti-decapitation law, which he had promulgated hail not l)oen observed, ami he was anxious for the arrest of the whole

oarlv. The marshal did not share the judicial view of the matter, however, and no proceedings were taken. Karly last week King Malietoa ad-dre-Md a letter to the consular representatives stating his incapacity to preserve law ami order in Samoa any longer, and begging them to interfere. The naval commanders after consulta tion with the consuls agreed to take matters into their own hands and in effect declared this to the natives. On the 10th the ISritish war ship Curaeoa ami German war ship Piuard bombarded Lmttunuuu, which, however, the reivis nan ounieti antt evaeurted during the night, retreating to Salnafata. The war vessels and nwal troops followed them up. reaehinjr there that evening. Salnafata was found deserted, and the piitioti of the rebels remained undiscovered owing- to the darkiH"ss. At dawn the troops encountered the enemy, ami 11 pitched battle ensued, the former losing two kilted and one wounded. The enemy's loss is unknown. Later the men-of-war opened fin on the reWl jvsitions, which were scattered in the bush. Shells were Hying about in all directions, but the reWl would not submit. As one position would leeome untenable the reWls would retreat ami the government forces would take iossession. The ships of war continued firing.until late in the afternoon when a letter was st-nt alHKinl from the reWls offer ing to surrender. Malietoa. who was on the Cnraeoa, was consulted and met the delegates and peace was arranged, the reWls giving up 100 rilles to the king and promising to cease hostilities. The government troops Inst six men during the fighting, while the los of life -n the part of the reWls. although unknown, is Wlteved to have Wen heavy. News reached hen yesterday morning that there had been further fighting Wtween the reWls and government troops, the former having lcen joined by a force S00 strong' under Tamasese and that the reWls are now determined to fight to a finish. United States Consul-CIcneral Milligan arrived on the 10th instant. FROM HAWAII. Letter from the CiiHmI Ire Correspond, nit via the MaripoMit. San Fkancisco. Aug. 31. The steamer Mariposa arrived yesterday afternoon, bringing the following letter from the United Press correspondent at Honolulu, dated August 22: "No Pnited States war ship has yet arrived to replace the Philadelphia. The Champion has Wen away for target practice, but Ls now anchored outside waiting for the Hyacinth to leavo here. This harWr Ls without a war ship for the first time in nineteen months. This has not caused the least uneasiness or apprehension of disorder. The difficulty created recently by a refusal to take the required oath by most of the native jurymen was soon removed by large numWrs of competent natives volunteering to serve in their places. Registration is actively progressing at all election districts except in Honolulu. Large numWrs of natives are taking theoath throughout the islands. Kx-State Senator Gil num. of lloston, has been touring through the group and questioning natives, whise language he is familiar with, having formerly resided here twenty years. He has published a statement of the result of his inquiries in which he says: "I should descriW the state of the natives minds as uncertain. They do not express syuipaUiy for the past regime, anil when questioned simply say they do not know as to the future. 1 have found no definite form of opposition expressed against the present government of such a nature as to excite any fear in regard to the future. I have failed to find any determined resistance to the powers that In;. From interviews with lead ing persons of both parties I have found it admitted that the present government presents a most favorable promise for the future, the eood of the islands and the na tion."

I dieting eleven uiemK'rs -After inof the eilv council, including its president, and, besides, the city engineer, the term of the grand jury expired yesterday and It was discharged by Judge Moise after presenting a report which is a most scathing denunciation of the crookedness rampant in the city hall and explains why several indictments whieli were expected could not Ik; found, owing to the inability to get evidence mi which a conviction in the court would W certain to follow. The first subject treated of is the sale of railroad franchises by the city council for ridiculously low prices. An in. vestigatiott of the Woks of the New Orleans Traction Co., which now owm nearly all the street car lines of the city, shows remarkable discrepancies For instance, there is the sale of the extension of the franchise of the New Orleans City & Lake railroad, for which the eity received S7m.000. The Traction company's boi.k show that SsW,oOO was paid "to Heitrv Bier, the broker, for it, besides a coinmission of $'0,000. The books of Mr. Bier do not show where the SHUMXKl went to, and he could not produce Iii ledger, as he said it had Wen lo-a. The traction company's books show the disappearance of iWi.UOO, which was paid to Maurice J. Hart, who is the manager of the Kosetta Gravel "o.. and who is generally supposed to have engineered the railroad deal through the council. The gravel company's books do not show any entries of these checks. . to contracts, the report refers to tlu jail contract and recites all the eroouedness connected with it. A deal, which failed to go through, in connection with this contract was to have netted this official and the memWrs of the special committee id the council $.".,000. Favored legislation in the interest nl a certain paving contractor is strongly commented on, but there was no jiossi. bility of getting at sullicieiit evidence to indict for briWry. The fact that not one memWr of the city council responded to the request of the grain! jury to assist in exposing the ero '!;edness among their colleagues is cited, and then the new garbage scheme is treated to a severe roast I'ninehi-es granted to the Illinois Central road an shown to have been given regardless -i the public interests. Two indictments for bribery aee'npanied the report. One was against Councilman Dan A. Mayer and thr other against Alderman John M. Clark. The former was charged with feloniously and corruptly proposing tt receive a briW from Narcesse Lium. for a steam boiler privilege in the saw mill at the corner of Mantis and St. Ferdinand on DecemWr 0, 1802. The consideration was $200. The indictment against Clark was for receiving a briW of $2. from Y. M. B. Vardell, clerk of the National Bice Mill Engine Co., September 12, M2, for favoring an ordinance giving the company permission to lay a pipe from its mill to the river. Mayer has lieon indicted Wfore, but this is the first indictment against Clark. He is the representative of the Ninth ward. GEN. N. P. BANKS DYING.
