THE FIJI TROUBLE.
SETTLING DOWN AGAIN. [PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. —COPYRIGHT.] AUCKLAND, This Day. The “Star” correspondent at Suva writes oil Feb. 14: —There seems a likelihood of tilings quieting down. Matters at Lautoka Ba Labasa are quiet, but it is the general opinion that there will be no guarantee ofpeaee while the leaders are left at liberty, and their early arrest or deportation is looked for. Til ere are no grounds for alarm for the general safety. All classes and nationalists are against the Indians. SUVA, Feb. 18.
The Indians are coining in and resuming work. The Municipal Council put on 50 men on Tuesday and many others have resumed elsewhere. All the Indians must be within doors by 7 o’clock, and none are allowed in Suva by daj without a permit. This has had a veiy quietening effect. At Nausori and Navua men aye returning to work, and everything is reported quiet. There are some who predict a recrudescence of the trouble, but the coolies have had a good lesson and should give no more trouble. There may 1 * be individual cases for repayment for injuries received.
