The steamer Lubeck, which arrived to-day from the Islands, brings Samoan news up to the 16th instant.
The representa tires of England, America, and Germany have held a conference at Apia, and have determined certain lines of the neutral territory There no fire arms will be allowed.
Admiral Fairfax has informed Tamasese that, should any of the latter's party in boats again fire on the neutral territory, the warships in Apia Harbor will fire on them unless the boats at once surrender. Tamasese has assured the Admiral that no further firing on the neutral territory will take place. H.M.S. Lizard will remain at Apia for a time in order to protect British interests.
The Tamaeeae, who retired to Mulunun Point after suffering a defeat at the hands of the followers of Mataafa, the King elect, have now deserted that stronghold, and taken up a position at Salnafata, twelve miles to the eastward.
