News from, Samoa.
Auckland, July 17. News has been received from Samoa of the defeofcion of Mataafa, who was recog-~ nised by Malietoa's natives aB King during the exile of their sovereign. Malietoa commanded him to come ,to Apia, bat he refused, saying that he would be either sent away in a German warship or hanged. Consular meetings have been held afc Apia and preparations made for any femergency. The disaffected natives are assembling in large numbers at Mataafa's place, and urging others to rebellion. The representatives of the three great powers have issued a proclamation saying that no king will be recognised but Malietoa, and anyone rebelling will be pun* ished. The alarmist reports are discounted to some extent by the news that Mataafa himself has paid his taxes.
