TONGA. MORE ANNEXATIONS BY BRITAIN. Tonga, September 25, 1889.
Thk Egeria has again come into port, having been away for some considerable time on special duty in the shape, so reports say, of annexing islands in the locality of t^e I'huMiix and Union Groups. It is believed she will now go on with her work of surveying our Haapai Group, 1 which, when finished, will form a most important work. The Richmond arrived to-day with some forty labouveis for the Tonga Government, which seems as if the fruit trade of this island i 3 going to be pushed. We certainly require' some other product than copra, on which we have hitherto been so dependent. Friends who have visited Tonga, especially those officers of men-of-war who have stopped some little time here, will be sorry to hear of the death' of Fujipaty; granddaughter of His Majesty King George, which occurred in Haapai last week.' She was the wife of Fatatche, the present Governor of Haapai. e Trade is very dulU fche natives in fact, o» account of thp low price of eopirn',, »efw©WMj I to make it. - -
