SYDNEY, February 3.
Mr W. L. Allardyce, Colonial Secretary of Fiji, who is on a Y»it here, reiterated that the predominant feeling of the Fijian natives was to be left to themselves. They are happy and contented, and Ho not want to be annexed by New Zealand, the Commonwealth, or any Power, but simply to go their own quiet peaceable way unmolested.
Mr Moore, the Commissioner of Lands for Fiji, informed an interviewer that the country was highly prosperous, and in view of such prosperity annexation by New Zealand poeuessed no attraction for the people. They had nothing to gain by it and everything to lose.
