SAMOA.
Auckland, October 29
H.M.S. Ringarooma, under orders from Sydney, left for Samoa to-night. It is rumored that a civil war has broken out, but no particulars available. The Ringarooma’s instructions are to proceed to Samoa with all speed, to protect the life and property of British residents, in conjunction with the American and German warships at present there. H.M.S. Katoomba is to relieve the Ringarooma on the New Zealand station.
The steamer Upolu, which arrived from Samoa to-day, reports all quiet at the time of her departure. She left on the 19th, and is the latest boat from the group, as the Lubeck, for Sydney, sailed a week before. There was no sign of hostilities at Samoa. Those on board the Upolu were surprised when told that the Bingarooma had been ordered away. The Samoan Times of October Ist expresses the belief that the rumors of war are nothing but an empty sound. Tamasese’s followers meditated an attack on the Mataafa tribes recently, but abandoned it because the Tamasaga natives would not assist them.
