From the above letter, Intended at the time as a
private document you will not fail to perceive how
how fatal win be for your government to press its
claims intended. The arrangement at present
stands thus.On Takomban falling to pay the $4,000
he Is to forfeit to your respected his three
most fertile islands, the best OF which, Taviuna is
his oil producing island the two others his yam
to feed his people or take his warriors into the field
that the world has ever known Are you prepared
to do thiss II SO, the white man must quit the coun
try letting 1t relapse again into barbarism.
could you not, SIR on timely representation induce
your respected gOuefnnent 10 purchase tho tohote
group Of these fsladds, paying the Yuma valu a
reasonable price for the same, less the amount
due TO You, and honestly possess the group. which
you wOnld then govern In the interests OF blessed
| lea and all mankndP Hoping that your govern
ment may do 30 am, Sir, your most obedient scr
want, CHAS. SIMEON HARE.
The value Of the Feeees is pretty clearly shown by
the fact that company has been formed in Mel
bourne to supply the King with the to pay or
| the American debt obtaining in return a grant of
lapd and monopoly Of the trade from the islands.
| The three islands now legally belonging to the
| United States comprise some one hundred and
seventy thousand acres Of good land; but the COM
pany do not hope to obtain anything that extent
OF territory for their money, and are prepared
to allow the King, II desired, commission on their
profits. One Of the principal members Of the COM
pany is an American gentleman, Mr.. Hoyt, and he
sailed the 18th May in the steamer Albion owned
by himse0 for the Feejees to conduct the negotia
lions.
in view Of this fact it will be necessary for Mr..
Seward to take prompt measures to secure this vau
able acquisition. he lets the land grabbers get the
start OF him he will fnd when perhaps is too late
that he has made large mistake for which he will
not readily be forgiven

mains viii be sent to New York tomorrow. Colonel
