Netrs of rather more than unal interest has been received at the State Jepaxtment.froin Samoa. It will be remembered that previous dispatches gave information that the German Government had concluded a treaty of oommeroe and amity with the Samoan Government, and had been allowed to select a harbor for the exclusive use of the German citizens resident on the island. The treaty is similar in its provisions to tbe one already entered upon with the United states, but does not conflict with the interests of the American people doiatr business at Samoa. The harbor selected for our naval station is Pago Pago, the largest and best of the inlets on the island, so that our Government haa no canse for The Ssmoans are further endeavoring to strengthen their relations with the United States by tendering to an. American citizen, who baa recently, been am on a them, the posi tion of head of the nation, with absolute authority, and! whose authority Baould be supported by all the friends and ad herente of the present reigning monarch.

A WAS The same dispatches brine news an expected war between contending fac tions, Whicn menaces the peace of the country and threatens to. jeopardize the commercial interests of the foreign residents. This information was eotmidered so important that ft was made the sub ject of special consideration br the Presi ident and' State and Navy Department officials to dayr and orders were sent to Kear Admiral Rod sera, comman dinar tha Pacific station, ta send vessel of war as soon as possible to Samba to protect our interests.ii It has lso determined that our naval vessels cruising in the Pacific shall, visit Pago Pago several times each year, for the dot nose of strengthening oar interests and pro tec Injr our citizens in their commercial and civil relatione. It appears that the form of govern ment ot Samoa is that of an elective monarchy, and that the contention for the throne grows out of a dispute in ef fect similar to, the election, in this conn try in 1876. There are no apprehensions in official circles here that the friendly relations already established will bediv tnrbed, and it remains under considera tion by the gentleman to whem the nas been tendered, whether he will accept the honor.
