GOOD-BYE TO SAMOA.
NELSON AMD SMYTH GO
NATIVES DEMONSTRATE ON BEACH. Apia, January 14. 'Simmering with excitement over the deportation of Nelson, Gurr and Smyth yesterday, 300 Samoans rowed to Apia from Savaii and demonstrated on the beach. The men openly earned canecutters’ knives and a few guns, which they fired in the streets also in front of the Administrator’s building, but at noon everything was quiet along the beach, and the Tofua left at three o’clock in the afternoon. The actual deportation was a quiet affair, yesterday’s ebullition apparently having exhausted the en j thusiasm. Gurr is remaining at Apia for a week or two, when he may go to Frisco, but lie will certainly be deported. Nelson and Smyth were farwelled by leading merchants of Apia at the office of Morris, Hedstrom Ltd., and at the embarkation a Samoan chief wished Nelson a good journey to “carry on the good work.” There is a general feeling of relief in Apia that the threatened thunderstorm was only a rumbling.
