Amicus from Samoa urn to tho effect that tfie differences between the (actions on tho islandi, headed by Malletoa, rocognlrod King, und Mttuh, claimant to the throne, have reached an acute phaie. To fully protect the Intorcsts of the United State* it luih been decided that a naval veuel be oent there at the earliest practicable moment. besides this reason, based uu expediency, It appears that under the terms of the Tripartite treaty the United .States la under obligation to keep a naval vessel at Samoa. Thcro has been no United Statee naval vessel there for many months, the Iroquois licing the hut to call. The Alliance is now at Honolulu with the Hasten, under orden to Samoa, but these onion were countermanded today, probably because of critical Hawaiian politics. It la the present intention to send In her place the Banger, recently of the Deliring Sea Beet, and now at Mare Island, San Francisco, It will require about a month's lime to prepare the veseel for the trip, and another month or «l» weeks for the postage, so e1.,, will not lie able to reach Samoa liefure next year.
