THE NEW HEBRIDES.
CONDOMINIUM CONDEMNED. By Telegraph.—Press Assd.—Copyright. Sydney, July 13. Pastor Stewart, an Adventist missionary from the New Hebrides, repeats the charges of the failure of the condominium Government. The Government affairs are in a state of chaos, and are rapidly drifting from bad to worse. He asserts that the illicit sale of firearms and liquor flourishes, and apart from the cruel practices of infanticide and patricide and murder in which the heathen natives indulge, the sale of girls to become the wives of their purchasers still is widely practised.. The price of a girl aged 6 to 12 ranges from 10 to 30 pigs.
