SAMOAN CRISIS.
LEADING WHITES. Threatened With Exile. TWO COME TO NEW ZEALAND. (Per Press Assn.) AUCKLAND, July 11. Hon O. F. Nelson, M.L.C., Samoa, arrived at Auckland by the Tofua today. In an interview, he declined to comment on the present situation in .Samoa, beyond saying that it was a very serious matter, aud that the future of a people was at stake. He said he hoped to see the Prime Minister, and he would probably leave for Wellington in a few days. Mr A. G. Smyth, another member of the Executive of the Welfare League of Samoa, is also on his way to New Zealand, by a different route. Like Hon Mr Nelson, he received, before leaving, a notification from the Administrator, Sir George Richardson, that on his return, circumstances might arise to cause his immediate deportation under the new provisions of the law.
