"NEW AUSTRALIA."

PER fRESS ASSOCIATION

Received March 30, 11.40 a.m.)

Sydney, March 29.

The "Daily Telegraph" condemns jbbe proposal of the Premier to expend money in bringing back the "New Australians." It declares the matter is an imperial one, as the settlers are British subjects in a foreign country.

The following is taken from the letter of the Dunedin "StarV 1 Melbourne correspondent :-From a letter which has been received from Mr A. Bnttlebank, a former resident of Albury. ani one of the pioneers of the " New Australia settle ment" in Paraguay, it would appear that the project has proved a complete failure. Mr Bnttlebank gives a description of the incidents of * rebellion and expul sions which have occurred, and in the most unmeasured terms denounces the management as incapable, unjust, and brutally selfish. He says that numbers of men—with wives and families—who criticised the management were given one hoar's notice to quit the settlement, and that Westwood, the prime movei in the revolt, was expelled and not given a fraction to get away with. It is stated that Westwood, who is possessed of some ' capital in Queens land, has determined to test m the law courts the question of the power of the Association to expel him without refund ing a portion of hip contribution to the fund. On one occasion Mr Bnttlebank and some others of the party, who were denied common necessities such as milk, -etc., entered into an arrangement of ex change whereby they received milk from the Natives. When the management beard of this the whole of the supplies of the paftf concerned were cut off, and in a moment of irritation Mr Bnttlebank, who is an aged and inoffensive man. made use of a strong remark to the deputy magis trate. This functionary, a man of twenty fire years of age, thereupon struck Mr Bnttlebank a violent blow with his fist, and followed it up by giving a cruel him thrashing. "Brute force," says the writer, *'is triumphant," and men who raise objections to what they deem unfair treatment are subjected to the grossest forms of physical violence.
