THE FIJI GOVERNOR.
The Missionary Charges.
(by electric telegraph—copyright.)
[per press association.]
Sydney, This Day. Dr. Brown, General Secretary of the Wesleyan Board of Missions, has received confirmation of the cable sent relative to the threatened deportation of a missionary at Fiji. The advices come from the chairman of the Fiji Wesleyan District and include copies of letters addressed in Fiji, and contain complaints against one of the missionaries and request his removal from the district. The accusation is that he is actively engaged in a political campaign amongst the natives with the ostensible object of persuading them to entertain the proposals for federation with New Zealand. The matter will receive the earliest attention of the Mission Board. The missionary in question, Brown says, emphatically denies the truth of such statements made against him on the authority of native witnesses, and asks that a full enquiry be made.
