NEW HEBRIDES.
' CONDOMINIUM A FAILURE. NATIVES BEING EXTERMINATED. By Cable —Press Association—Copyright
Sydney, June 20.
Mr. Jacomb, a well-known barrister and resident of the New Hebrides, is visiting Sydney. He states that the natives in the group are being steadily wiped out. The present population is 65,000; against 650,000 thirty years ago. At the present ratio of decrease, few natives will be left in twenty years. In the Torres Group the population in twenty years has been reduced from thousands to 350. He declares that the sale of grog and recruiting are still rampant. The condominium is a rank failure, everybody being tired of it. He strongly opposes the partition of the group between England and France.
