MORE TERRITORIAL dispatch from

the Fejec Islands has ccdcd to the Uni
ted States three small slandsin group,
one Of which possesses fine harbor,
capable of being converted into a naval
.station. There have recently been troub-
Hes in these islands between the natives
and American residents, and the United
States steamship Tuscarora has been
cruising in these regions 10 investigate
the troubles. Whether the ccssion Of
three islands are intended rs All atone
ment for any wrong done to Americans,
or whether it was made in consequence
Of direct solicitation from Washington,
Is not stated. The King even offered
the protectorate of all his dominions to

clined accepting it, believing that he did
not possess sufficient authority. Whcth-
er he did accept the cession of the three
islands the dispatch does not say. The
Fejee islands are group of islands in the
South Pacific Ocean, east of the New
Hebrides. The entire group comprises
altogether l5l islands, of which G5 are
inhabited. The total population il
estimated at $4,000. The people are
ruled by chiefs, to whom great defer
.cnce is paid, and who, in turn, appear to
acknowledge the supremacy of the Chief
of Ambow, who has assumed the title of
the King the Feejecans. Vegetation
is exceedingly rapid, and the climate is
agreeable and healthy. The inhabitants
were formerly a harisarous and savage
race but of late Wesleyan missionaries
have made great progress among them.
