Secretary Bayard has been informed that the American prisoners at Samoa have been released. He thinks that the situation has been exaggerated, and it will turn out that there has been no infringement of international rights.

It is believed that the President’s action with regard to Samoa has fairly driven the Germans into a corner.

AUCKLAND, Jan, 21.
The statements made in the cablegram from San Francisco were read to an officer of the Eber to-day, and were characterised as “ absolute untruths.” The officer pointed out that the Eber left Samoa on the 12lb, arid that it was impossible that later news could be received at San Francisco. He said that the officers of the various warships wore the beat of friends. The only boat they fired on was a Kanaka boat carrying ammunition, and she had no flag.
