punishment of Native Mnr

PoßTMoKES.vlvLVTnwnsnlle), July 18.- The expedition jtis**s by Mr John Doaglas to inquire into ,-,.^pumsh the per cetrators of the recent massacre at the Luth.of the Heath River have returned safely to Port Moresby, having successfully accomplished their mission. The expedition Sited of R. Hunter, PorbMoresby; E A. Edelfeldt, Government agent, Jjotu Motu ; W B. Livcsey, late of the " Brisbane Courier" six South Sea Islanders mostly in the Government employ; an African ervit of Mr Edelfeldt; Mr Mulholland, and a carpenter working at Port Moresby This was the whole force available at Port Moresby at the time. Mr Hunter was m command, acting under his Excellency s written instructions. The expedition went to Motu Motu in the cutter Ada and a Wer belonging to Mr Goldie, and started from Alice Mende Lagoon on the evening of June 23 They encamped at Kiioi Island, at the.mouth of the Edelfeldt River, for a few houre, and started at 3 a.m. on the 24th for Letuarie, where, after a heavy pull, they arrived about sunrise. The party advanced through a narrow track to the village in 6iD"le°file. The natives fled from the vil 'laoS-at their approach, but concealing themselves in. the dense scrub and behind cocoanut treeß, kept up a sharp five of arrows, which was steadily replied to. In b snort time the Letuarie men were rein forced by warriors from the large village of Moveavi, about half-a-mile distant, and their fire increased in intensity and force. One man, riamed Tom Nui, was wounded in the head by an arrow. Mr Edelfeldt TO struck on the thumb, and another arrow passed clean between Mr Livesey's legs, about 10 iuches above the knees. Most of the party had very narrow escapes. A vvell- Kecuted fiatik movoment of the enemy through the scrub cut off the retreat and compelled the party to fall back on the boats, which they did with great steadiness, checking the enemy with their Winchesters. The natives followed them to the edge of the river, b'lt after a sharp skirmish of 10 minutes they were driven back to the shelter of the scrub. Firing then ceased^ and tiegotations were opened with the gfieniy, who had displayed the utmost courage and daring. They promised not to molest any white men again. They said they did not want to fight any more, and that plenty of them had been killed. They brought two pigs—one from each village— in token of friendship. Nothing, however, would induce them to come down in a body to the river and make a formal peace. The friendly Motu Moitu natives had come up in their caaow, and were anxions to fight, and if the village were again attacked, they would burn it. It would have been impos sible to distinguish friends from foes. The expedition, therefore, returned to Motu Motu, which was reached at 5 p.m. It was raining heavily ill the way. The next day two men were laid down with fever, and wend were suffering from severe colds. Reports came in the course of the next day that the natives of Moveavi and Letuarie were boasting that they had repulsed the expedition, and would kill every white man they met, more especially Mr Edelfeldt and his servant. It was considered inad visable to leave them in this frame of mind, and another expedition was at once decided on, so as to come to some satisfactory settlement with the natives if possible, and inflict further punishment if necessary. Consequently, another expedition set out about 8 o'clock on Monday morning, 7th rano, for the larger village of Moveavi. Only the whaleboat was taken. Those who bad not room in the whaleboat went in the war canoes of the Motu Motu natives, who t»qld not be. restrained from accompanying we expedition in the capacity of allies, ihey were given strict instructions to keep behind the whites, and were to be used to protect the boat if necessary and prevent me enemy from turning either flank. It was distinctly understood that they were not to fight till ordered.

" Please ring for a messenger boy, asked M. Angelo, as he looked at the several dishes before him. Soon a messenger boy appeared, and received a little note hastily scratched off by the artist. The proprietor smiled as he saw the boy rush out. He thought his customer had probably written for his chums to drop in. In ten minutes the messenger boy returned bearing on a small waiter a cup of hot, steaming coffee. He had simply gone to the restaurant across the way, a rival estab lishment. When ho put the cup down by the artist the proprietor gave a warwhoop and sprang over tho desk. Blood was m " Ne'vah, no nevah, shall you drink that coffee in my restaurant.!" shouted the. irate proprietor. "Git you gone, clear, vumoose; my blood is up ;I am insulted to the backbone !" ejaculated the opulent but aroused young Delmonico.. M. Angelo arose' languidly, sighed and placidly observed : " I go, but I will not return. I will leave you this hot cup of coffee as a sample for you to pattern after ' The artist reached the door in the midst of a storm of unwholesome objurgations, and, waving his hand, shouted : " I leave you a sample." i
