UNREST IN FIJI.
ALLEGED GERMAN INTRIGUE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Yesterday. The Fiji correspondent of the Star says that native unrest is beginning to exercise the European mind there in a greater degree, though there are wellmeaning people who ridicule the idea of a native rising. One of the most prominent business men in Fiji, who is friendly with many chiefs, after a two months' trip in the Sizeatoke district has issued a challenge to the Government to disprove any one of Ave statements, one of which is that several attempts have been made to wreck the Colonial Sugar Company's train. Strong comment is made on the freedom allowed to German traders, and in fact not one of scores ef Germans has been interned. The correspondent adds: "To what extent German machinations are behind the native unrest is difficult to estimate, but fow people in Fiji are now inclined to doubt that the Teutons are the inspirers of native prayers for German victories, of the native belief in many districts that the Germans are bound to win, and the disrespect on the part of Vm na'iives for the government of Fiji
