NEW GUINEA ITEMS.

The German s.s. Samoa arrived ab Oooktown on Friday fr Om Finchhaven. I Ar-^ m°a hacl been t(> Matupi tton. At Ulula everything was quiet. Ihe company's steamer Isabel, with the Orerman Governor and family, and a party ol scientist, 1S cruising along the coast of German New Guinea. The German barque iismeralda has just arrived at Finchhaven from Hamburg, 140 days out, with 1,500 tons ot general cargo. The schooner Uinstma, of Auckland, arrived at Mioko on the Ist May with returned labourers. A Wlaoie 'i'ribe M.iJie<j amd Eatew. The Truganini arrived on the nth instant, with a longer passenger list than usual. It comprised the Hon. John Douglas, C.M.G. (Special Commissioner), Mr B. Hely, Mr and Mrs Edelfelt, find the Rev. G. Pratt. There were upwards of 60 New Guinea natives, whose time of service in Queensland had expired, and who had to be returned to their respective homes in the Louisiade and other groups of islands at the ease end of New Guinea. These were id charge iof Mr Cholmondley, who exercised a very vigilant and paternal care over them. Mr Douglas went on in the Truganini to the east and took with him Mr Frank Lawes, who is to represent the Government at Dinner Island in place of Mr Forbes. All the natives were landed without difficulty or hindrance of any kind. Mr Douglas landed at many of the islands, and had conversation with the people j wherever it- was possible. At Roussel ; Island they found that the entire tribe to which some boys on board belonged had been killed and eaten. The tribe which had absorbed and assimilated their relatives made no secret of having done so, and very •.■dia.!ly invited the returned boys to land, i make themselves at home. Sis (imiiimcn IWsissavred. Another sceno of bloodshed and murder .as been enacted at Moresby Island. Six Chinamen, the crew of the Pride of the Logan, were killed there on March 26. The vessel had been some time anchored at Din ner Island, waiting for a carpenter to re pair her, previous to going to Cook town, where shohad ieen ordered by the Govern ment. The men, tired of doing nothing, took the vessel out, and began fishing off Moresby Island, but she dragged her anchor in" a gale of wind and went ashore. The natives came off in their canoes, and took . the crew in a most friendly manner, one in each canoe, to their villages. They then clubbed them all, cut oft' their heads, and buried tho bodies. The schooner was rifled and cut to pieces. Mr Douglas had no vessel or force at his command, and could do nothing. He sent a message to the people demanding the skulls, and six men to be sent in to Dinner Island as prisoners, with tho guns and other plunder taken from the schooner. It is hardly likely they will do it, although Mr Douglas promised that the lives of the prisoners should be spared, and so things must rest until a man-of-war comes—and then what will she or can she do ?
