Consul General at Samoa relit^German Greed on the Island
Washington,Jan. 12 ^Thesenate com^^mittee on foreign relations continued to-^lay their examination of Consul General^Sewalt, at Samoa, concerning the condition^^f utTairson the island. It was continued^on the linew laid down yesterday , but went^more largely into the relations of the sev^eral governments Inteiested in the main^^tenance of an orderly condition of affairs^in tlie islands, and therefore was^more confidential in its nature. 'The^substance of SewalTs sUtt uunt, which^reviewed at grear length the events of the^last few years and the present unfortunate^situation there, is that it is due not to any^action on the part of representative!* of the^I nted Slates, but to the fomentation by^interested foreigners of native dissensions^and to the desire, exhibited in a marked de^gree by those in charge of local German^interests, to obtain personal ami SuSSBtaf^Btal advantages aud political supremacy.
Mr.Sewallhas been requested to remain^over and appear before the committee again^ou Monday.
