NATIVE DISTURBANCES.

MASSACRE OF FIFTY-SEVEN PER-

SONS

The people of Viria, Taivugrlei, Waika lou, and a number of towns on the upper Rewa River, attacked towns of Soloira on Thursday last. The males of the town of Naigunugunu, had gone to a neighbouring town, where they were await ing an expected attack from some of the parties, when a sudden descent was made on Naiguiraguriu, the assailants getting into the town and. slaughtering tee old men, the women andthe children. Fifty-seven were killed. News of the tragedy was soon con veyed to the town where the fighting men had collected, and they at once went out against the attackers, fought with them, and killed seven of their number. •The insurgent people were also, chased toNaqali, where they were challenged by their pursuers to come out and fight The pursuers remained there all night i£ hope of meeting the murderers saying that their fathers and friends were killed and they themselves did not care to live. After wards the attacking party wont to Korovou whera tEey Slaughtered ft number of piga belonging to tht King 1* daughtw, Mtov

killing'these pigs they took the carcasses to gether with the limbs of the slain of Naigunu gunu, to the town of Nagali, where a feast was made of them. Having finished the can nibal repast they returned to Korovou, where they killed more pigs and ransacked* the town. Iformation having reached' Lower Rewa the constabulary were at once, des patched to Nakarovou. Upon seeing the police the insurgents cleared out, but were called upon to come back, and explain their conduct. Their reason was that in the great war of Bau against Vugalei, about six years ago, some people fled to Naigunugunu, and were killed there, and that the present massacre was in revenge for that murder. The officers of the constables sent word to the chief of Firia to come down, but the chief sent back to say that he was busy pre paring for an attack on other towns in the Soloira district, namely, Vusuira, Navaka dua, Nakoluva, Navunibau, Nabukaluka. The settlers on the Upper Rewa are in a very unsettled condition. The "■ royal" forces have gone up to demand the perpetrators of the massacre, and in case they are not de livered up it is proposed to attack the town of Qali. In case of such an attack being made, the neighbouring towns which can muster large forces have expressed their de termination of coming down the river and killing all before them..
