THE POOR KANAKA.
AND THE SYMPATHETIC CAPITALIST.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Sydney, March 17. Captain Eason, a resident of the New Hebrides, has returned from Queensland, where he enquired into the question of returning Kanakas to their homes. He states that three thousand New Hebridians are concernedpn the proposed deportation, and if sent direct to their homes it is necessary that provision be made to feed them. If they are to be properly settled land must be purchased, which would cost ton or fifteen thousand pounds. The alternative is to send them to native villages, and in that ease Captain Bason declares that those who are in good condition will be promptly killed and eaten. The question is a serious one. He makes representation to the Imperial Government on the subject.
