London, July 24.
Slight clashes between the native population and Europeans occurred in the town of Vaimoso on the island of Samoa as result of the failure of the latter to show due observance to the native customs during the course of a religious festival.
The Samoans objected to seeing some Europeans passing by some religious festival on bicycles and des manded they should dismount. Some trouble arose when they proceeded to take matters in their own hands and drag the cyclists off their machines.—Trans-Ocean.
