Fftn&tiolsm la tai FIJI Island*
Fisfttlag at the Star Hebrides.
[United Press Association.]
Sydney, August 28.
Religious fanaticism has broken out among the Native inhabitants of Central Vitu Levu, one of the Fiji Islands. It is similar to the Hau-Hau outbreak in New Zealand, and the Natives taking part in it have been banished to Kandavu Island, which lies a little to the southward of Vitu Levu. .
At some of the islands forming the New Hebrides group, notably at Ambryn, Espiritu, and Tanna the Natives are fighting among themselves, and there has been a good deal of bloodshed, but so far no attacks on Europeans have been reported. At Erromango, another of the New Hebrides islands, 19 natives have been drowned by the foundering of a boat.
