THE NATIVE WAR IN SAMOA.
[By Telegraph.] Auckland, August 30. Samoa advices state that the war is over. The victorious party, who now form the present Government, are those who sided with Steinberger. The chiefs of the defeated tribes took refuge in the British Consulate. The victors demanded their surrender, guaranteeing that they should not be injured. The Consul refused to comply with the demand, and called upon the captain of the schooner John Wesley to take his despatches to the Governor of Fiji, which he reluctantly complied with, being bound elsewhere on missionary work.
