NEW GUINEA DISORDERS
FOREIGN SAILORS BLAMED SYDNEY, Friday. A message from Rabaul states that Brigadier-General Griffiths. who recently inquired into the native disorders in New Guinea, exonerates the heads of the police and the missionaries. General Griffiths in his report says the original cause of the trouble was talk between foreign sailors and natives, which led to strife; also the jeers of the sailors who had induced the natives to strike. There was not a tittle of evidence to support the statement that the cause of the strife was much more deeply-seated or more involved.
