Severe Storm at Camden.
Special te the State
Camden, March 29.?A severe
\eind storm., accompanied by a
heavy rain and some hail, nasspd
over Camden yesterday afternoon,
coming from the west. The roofs
of several small buildings were
blown off. The front of the brick
store occupied by O. L. Kirk ley
was so badly cracked thatfthere is
danger of its falling. Owing to
the fact that the trees are now
leafless very few were' blown
down. The storm proper lasted
from 5 o'clock to 5.20. If jt were
not for the fact that Camden is
well protected by hills, which
' break tho force of the wind, yesterday's
storm would have done
a great deal of damage.

Uncle Sam's entire indebtedness
is $1,157,904,392,upon which
the annual interest payment
amounts to $40,695,751, which is
about 53 cents for each man,
woman and child in the United
States. More than $800,000,000
of this debt is the result of the
expenses of the Civil w^r, $260,000,000
represents bonds issued
by the Cleveland administration,
and less than $200,000,000 went
to pay the expenses of the war
with ?pain. Our national debt if
-a mere nothing when compared
with those under which the large
t&Kuropean nations are staggering;
f Swe can easily pay off ours in a
few years, but nobody expects
Wfr 1 those of European nations ever
to be paid off. The best they
can do is to keep on paying a
low rate of interest.

"How did it happen?" asked
the traveler of a native who \vn?
standing near.
"You may search me replied,'
the native, "we've been trying tr
find out for three days but ran'i
do it."
"But haven't you any idea?'
asked the traveler.
"Well, yes," answered the na

which the fire might have origi

Serious Tnrn of Affairs at Apia

Apia, Sumoan Islands, March
23, via Auckland, N. Z., March
20.?The troubles trrowintr nut of
the election of a king of Samoa
have taken a more serious turn
I and resulted in a bombardment
of native villages along the shore
by the United States crusier Phil
adelphia, Adtnira' Kautz com
mantling, and the British cruisers
Porpoise jyul Royalist. The bom
bardment has continued intermit
tently for eight days. Several villages
have been burned, and th.^re
have been a number of casualties
among the American and British
sailors and marines. As yet it is
impossible to estimate the num
her of natives killed or injured.
As Mataafa and his chiefs, constituting
the provisional govern
ment, continued to delv the treaty

when the whole situation was
carefully canvassed. The upshot
was a resolution to dismiss the
provisional government and Admiral
Kautz issued a proclama
tion calling upon Mataafa and his
chiefs to return to their homes.
Mataafa evacuated Mulinuu, the
the town he had made his headquarters,
and went into the interior.
Ilerr Hose, the German consul
at Apia, issued a proclamation
supplementing the one he had
issued several weeks before, up
holding the provisional govern
nient. As a result of this the
Mataaians assembled in large
force and hemmed in the town.
The British crusier Ilovalist
brought the Malietoa prisoners
from the islands to which thev
had been transferred by the pro
visional government.
The Americans then forti'ied
Mulinuu where 22,000 Malletoans
took refuge. The rebels?the ad
