Washington, Ang. 31. The state department has not yet been officially advised of the reported death of King Maleitoa of Kamos, and in all likelihood must remain in official ignorance of the event for some time to come, owing to the alow means of communication at the disposal of the department. It is the general impression here that the death of the king will result in the overthrew of the present form of government of the islands, maintained, as it ia, by the join taction of the United States, Great Britain and Germany. Official reports to the state department show that this government is the most expensive and unsatisfactory of any in the world, having regard to the population of the Kaiuoun group. 1 n the capital city, Apia, there is maintained tripartite municipal government of vast proportionate expense, while the reports show that a few ratepayers are obliged to bear the entire cost. For years the existing arrangement for the government of the Samoan group haa been satisfactory to none of the three governments, yet it has been continued for the reason that nothing better could be suggested that would be acceptable to the natives. There are now indications that at least one of the parties is coming around to what was a favorite plan of settlement of the state department, namely, a disruption of the present tripartite government and an absolute division of the islands of the group between the United States, Great Britain and Germany. The principal object of onr government haa been to retain possession of a coaling or a full naval station in the islands, so as to afford a base for naval dperationa in the vicinity of Australasia, as well ss to ensure an open port for our steamers on the long voyage from Krtuncisco to Aus- I tralia. J The United S holds title to some ground coaling station at Pago-Pagon the island of Tutuila. This island is the least in size of any of the group, but it is large enough to support a naval station, so that it has been the plan of the state department to acquire it as a whole in the event of dissolution of the tripartite agreement Basing the divi&onof the existing interests of the tjwapations, Germany holding the largest interest would take the island second in size, possessing the capital, Apia, while Great Britain would secure the least in size of the group, but the second in commercial importance. It is probable that among the first duties falling to Mr. Ilay aa secretary of state will be the consideration of plan to tide over this expected crisis. forr o, ton u November, Pope has recovered from his initios.

Senor Sagasta, the premier, la quoted as having, in of an Interview, made statements declaring that it was the gov- the-eoura- e ernment's intention to repress the discussion of war topics in the cortes. He said that as soon as the cortes met the government would submit a hill authorizing peace negotiations, and next a measure relating to the suppression of the constitntional guarantees. Although Senor Sagasta did not state the nature of this measure, it is supposed it will provide for the con. tinuation of suspension. It Continuing, Senor Sagasta said: must not be said that peace is signed and discussion not allowable. Peace is not signed. Spain is still at war with the United States. The two nations have merely concluded a suspension of hostilities in order to negotiate peace. These negotiations may not le brought to a successful issue, but it might happen that hostilitiea will be recommenced.' Senor Romero Robledo, the Wcyler-it- e leader, declares that he will strongly oppose Senor Mngaata's plan of suppressing debates in the cortes. If the government refuses to divulge official documents on the war, Senor Robledo says he will utilize reliable press reports. Other opposition leaders are of the same mind.
