NEWS FROM SAMOA.
Auckland, May 7. The schooner Mazeppa. from Samoa, reports that the Samoan line was not paid without troul >le. Twenty-four hours elapsed without any answer being given by the Native Government, and at the end of that time Captain Murray, of the Sappho, informed them that if the LI,OOO balance of Barrae.outa money was not paid before I p.m. on the following Monday, lie would first destroy ail the 'iovenunent property at Mulliu ; then, if satisfactory arrangements were not come to, he would destroy the other villages and increase his demands. This appears to have awakened them, for on the following Monday the LI.OOO was duly paid.
