Show GERMANY IN SAMOA. Has Made no Proportion to the United States for a Partition. London, Aug. 29. The Berlin correspondent corre-spondent of the Times, referringto the report that Germany had entered into negotiations with the United States for the partition of the Samoan islands, says that the semi-official marine Politische Correspondenz observes: "So far as we are aware, no such proposal has been made to Washington by the German government. Proposals to that effect have been made in the tier-man tier-man press, but nowhere else, to our knowledge. "The assertion, that were Germany to come into sovereignty possession of L'polu, that the United States would be shut out from the harbor of Apia, is absolutely absurd, and this applies equally to any other nation having a harbor on that island." |
