Extract

The recent appropriation, made by Congress, to reimburse those American citizens who suffered property damages and losses by reason of the unlawful and unjustifiable bombardment of Apia, Samoa, by the British and American warships during the year 1899 has revived an interest in the unusual controversy then pending over the election of a native king, and aroused a curiosity as to the reason of the appropriation at this late date, over a decade since the damages were committed.
