THE SAMOAN QUESTION.
(by telegraph.) Auckland, April 17. A wreath was sent by the Moana to Samoa by the members of the Auckland Club to place on the grave of Lieut Irceman, of H.M.S. Tauranga. Corporal Fox worthy and Seaman Hunt, of the Royalist, are making good recovery from their wounds at the hospital. Soon after the Mou.na left for f'amoa and San Francisco important despatches were received from Wellington, to be forwarded to Samoa. The Post Office authorities communicated with Mount Victoria and Tiritiri, and on each flag station signals were hoisted requesting the steamer to return Apparently neither signal was observed from the Moana As ohe Tutanekai has arrived, she will probably go to Samoa ■with the despatches. A large quantity of rifle and Maxim ammunition, in cases, was lauded by the Jilingamite from Wellington, and conveyed across to the defences at ths North Shore, presumably to augment the lccal supply at the forts, in case any should be required for Samoa.
