UNREST AND OUTRAGES.
TROUBLE IN SOLOMON ISLANDS. Received June 23, 10.5 a.m. SYDNEY, June 23. A prominent resident of the Solomons is visiting Sydney. He attributes the recent unrest and outrages to lack of proper administration. No attempts are being made by officials, he says. to check preparations the natives are evidently making to harass the whites. A war canoe, the building of which was abandoned some years ago, has been resumed. Ttieie is great activity among the islanders, who are well supplied with arms and ammunition. A punitive expedition landed from the warships was practically useless. He attributes much of the trouble to returned kanakas, who have contracted many of the white man's worst habits and few of his virtues.
