SAVAGE NATIVES
MORE TROUBLE WITH THE MISSIONARIES.
By Electric .Telegraph— Per Press Association—Copyright. Receivod 11.54 p.m,, March 29. Sydney, March 29. News has been received of another native rising against Catholic missionaries in the Bismarck Archipelago. It appears that the missionaries near Berlinhßfen, near the scene of the recent massacre, took two native children from their parents and placed them at the mission Bchool. The natives rosented this, and made a hostile demonstration to recover them. When information of tho peril of the missionaries reached'the German Governor at Horbertsbohe, he immediately proceeded to the scene with armed police. On their arrival the natives retreated to the bush. The results were not known when the steamer bringing the news left. The natives asked the Governor to remove the missionaries, promising that peace would reign if this were done.
