Samoan Mau Is Still Sullen.

Administrator Coldly Received During Malaga on Savaii.

From Our Own Correspondent EVIDENCE that the "sullen spirit’" of the Mau continues was provided re cently in Savaii, where the Adminis trator, General Hart, has been making his periodical tour, or “malaga.”

The malaga was neither received ceremonially by the natives, nor op posed or molested in any way, but was completely ignored by the Savaii people, who are pro-Mau in an overwhelming majority.

It is reported that the Administrator sought a more friendlv relationship with an important high chief and leader of the Mau, but the overtures were re jected.

An interesting feature of this year’s “malaga” was, that for the first time a portion of the tour round Savaii was done by motor car—evidence of the im proved condition of the roads round Savaii.
