GENERAL CABLES.

PAPUAN GOVERNOR'S REPORT. Melbourne, April 16. The annual report of the Governor of Papua expresses the opinion that Papua will never become a white men's country in the sense that they will settle and make homes there. An interesting feature in its development, is the extent to which the natives have gradually come to take a greater and. more important, part in such development and have fitted themselves to discharge the duties in their new life. They are now supplying practically all requisite labor.
