SAMOAN PRISONERS OF WAR.
ARRIVAL AT AUCKLAND
AUCKLAND, Sept. 17
Dr. Sch'ultz, ex-Governor of German Samoa, his secretary (Herr Mars), the wireless expert (Herr Hirsch), and a merchant (Herr Hansen), arrived by the Xavuathis morning under the escort of Major Francis and Lieut. Maxwell as prisoners of war.
Hansen is a Hongkong trader. He was visiting Samoa and was arrested as a possible German spy.
Her:- Schultz is naturally keenly
disappointed at the fate of the erstwhile -German possession, but on the voyage was cheerful, and entered into the social life of the ship. Practically
no restrbcian was placed on any members of the German party, of which treatment. Herr Schultz expresses keen appreciation. He is, however, distressed to learn of his future residence on the lonely quarantine island of Motuihi, as. he was under the impression that parole would have been offered him. The authorities are doing everything possible to make liis quarters on the island thoroughly comfortable, and to remove the irksomeness of his stay there.
