THE HARBOUR RECLAMATION CONTRACT.

jj, gnawer to tho Harbour Board's recent toltgrom re Quay street retaining wall, the Minister of Public Works has forwarded tho cop? of a report supplied to him by the gnglneer in-Chief (Mr John Blaokett). It denies in the first place that {any arrange ment WM made for a Government contribu tion towards the coat of constructing solid wharves projecting at right angles from tho front wall of tho reclamation, in lieu of the Ailing tf loose stone which tho Enginoer.in- Ctttefptoposed ; but as Mr Knorpp had re commended tho payment of £500 towards the £9,000 of estimated cost, this sum might be paid. Aft9r recapitulating the facta of the matter, the report accused the Harbour Board of carrying out the filling-in In a manner " which the Department could not hare allowed," and that an ox cento amount of dredged silt had been used for the purpose. The Board therefore, instead of asldng any contribu tion, should be compelled to put right what they had put wronjr, viz : (1) not providing the material from St. Barnabas's Point, as they undertook to do ; (2) in carrying out the flHlng contract in such an improper manner as to endanger the front wall; (3) In increasing that danger by their excessive oh of soft-dredged material; (4) and in dredging without due notice before the front of the wall ere the work was completed. However, the £500 might still be given towards the coed of at lca»t two stone wharves to bo placed as buttresses against the wall. At tho same time, tho Board should bo asked to wheel back, or otherwise remove, the toft material which had been plaoed where rocky material was specified. The letter was laid before the Harbour Board at its meeting yesterday afternoon, and -was referred to the Works and Tariffs Committee, the Engineer to report thereto, and the Sooretary to draw up a memo, as to tho points of the arrangement made with Mr Whitaker re contract. Sovernl of tho statements advanced in tho letter were declared to be erroneous

Tho Attorn left Samoa on January ICth, and arrived in harborr at 11 o'clock last even ing. When sho left the islands things were In a very unsettled state. The Germans wora exceedingly annoyed at tho action of King Malietoa in petitioning England to annex Samoa, and it ia said that they were fomenting a move ment with the object of depo?ing him. ifalioto,* would, in tho event of such »mov«ment being successful, be sucsoeded by Tamaneeo, tho present Vice King, who li apparently favourablo to tho Gorman Interests. It was probably for the purpose of coming to terms with Tama3oso, there fora, that when the Aurora left the latter W— engaged in a conference with Mi Webber, head of the great Gorman firm, tndieveral ohiefs of the island. Tho result of (heir deliberations wo aro not yet tcqnalnted with. No open hostility had teau shown towards tho King, but how long this would bo tho cose seemed very doubtful Indeed, and serious disturbances were anticipated.
