of the associated press learns that a serious hitch has occurred in the negotiations between the commissioners to the conference on samoan affairs the united states government insists that malietha Malie toa be restored as king this esthe chief point at issue and the german government is reluctant to agree to that proposition its representatives point out that germany has pardoned malietha Malie toa and declare that they think that is the best their country can do as far as ho is concerned BEELIN may 21 from certain ini dictations at the rooms of the ameri can delegates as well as at the quarters of the english committee and at the german foreign office it is evident there is some serious hitch in tho negotiations of the samoan con ference mr phelps who is known as the peacemaker both in the conference and in the working committee is in evident trouble first he is interviewing aa english committee in his own rooms and then he is hurrying off to the foreign office whore he remains for some time closed with the german representatives and then repeating the process when asked as to tho situation commissioners phelps kasson and bates say there is no great change and everything is progressing satisfactorily both the german and english commissioners refuse to talk on the subject but it is learned from other sources that the united states government instructed the commissioners to insist upon tho return of mal ietta as king A message is said to have been received from secretary blaine within the past thirty six hours directing the commissioner Commissi to insist upon the restoration of the quo and saying germany deposed malietha Malie toa as king and must return him as king they may haggle about indemnity or dual or tripartite government if they please but malietha Malie toa must bo king while the germans have come to agree with all the other views of the american commissioners they are reluctant to accept this condition and point to the fact that malietha Malie toa was pardoned by the german emperor at the beginning of conference this they claim should satisfy america it is thought a crisis will bo reached at the meeting of the conference today the american commissioners lasic night were quiet and conciliatory in their utterances concerning the situation but expressed determination to remain firm the special correspondent of the associated press here was informed this evening that germany has finally consented to restore king malie toa this action was taken finally after prolonged and persistent efforts on the part of tho american commissioners sio ners but now comes another hitch in the negotiations this fresh difficulty grows out of a claim for indemnity made by germany the american section of tho conference holds that if any indemnity is paid it must be merely a nominal sum germany on alu contrary maintains that in the conflicts between the german forces and the sambas the latter were invariably the aggressors besides the native partisans were guilty of the barbarous practice of beheading german sailors as well as inflicting upon the wounded particular cruelties cruel ties those acts germany insists should entail upon sa moab the payment of a special andem anity earnest efforts are made by the committee to settle the dispute but the matter is very likely to require reference to a plenary conference doubtless tho united states representatives senta tives have broached the subject of tho restoration of malietha Malie toa as their instructions were presumably colored by debates in the last con gressan taking this stand but just I 1 bow far they are instructed to persist in their intention cannot be learned LONDON may 21 the berlin correspondent says The Samoan protocol in its final form willi contain two chief points the first of these relates to the government of samoa which will be arranged on tho tripartite basis england being accorded a position corresponding in a certain sense to that of arbitrator the second
