A REIGN OF TERROR.
Head Hunters of the Solomon Islands on
the War Path-Warships Ordered to Put
Them Down.

San Francisco, Cal. July Is. A special
to the Call from Victoria. B. c., says:
After almost years cessation of their
barbarous practices the head hunters of
the Solomon Islands have again deserted
the plantations and embarked on cru
SADIE of blood. The white settlers of the
interior and missionaries are returning
by every steamer to Australia Owing to
the fact that trade is paralyzed, the white
residents of the South Sea Islands have
appealed for protection to the British Adj
miral in Australian waters, Sir A. G.
Bridge. This officer, believing that the
reign of terror should be crushed in it's
incipency, has undertaken the task, and
the first class cruiser Orland was, when
the steamer Miowera left Sydney for this
port, preparing to teach the feroeious
islanders salutary lesson.
''The latest victims of the savages were
the ships company of the Sydney trading
schooner, Amelia, Captain D; Kerr his
mate, Samuel Smith, and eight or ten
men. They sailed in the Amelia from
Rubiana in the middle of April, and since
have been missing under circumstances
that unfortunately leave no doubt as to
their fate When they failed to return
to Rubiana in May, Nathaniel Wheately
of that place, organized a search for them
and succeeded in picking up the deck
house, the matches and other parts of the
Amelia in the Blanche channel Then
he instituted inquiries among the natives
and learned that raid has been made
on the head hunters from Reneova Island
by Lur- Congamen and that during the
raid the trading schooner was met with
and her crew dispatched. After butcher
ing all on board, the pirates looted the
schooner and then set her adrift, hoping
that she would speedily break up and TO
trace be left to point to the fate of those
belonging to her.
Captain Williams of the steamer Kel-
loe, has reported to Admiral Bridge that
head hunting and other outlawry is on
the increase, and that upwards of 200 mon
of Rubiana are now on bloody expedit-
ion, having promised to secure upwards
of fifty trophies before returning to the
islands.

TO REMOVE THE VENETIAN.
Harbor and Land Commissioners Ca IL for
Sealed Proposals.

Boston, July 15.-Since the United
States government does not see fit to re-
move the wrecked steamship Venetian,
the harbor and land commissioners of
Massachusetts, will do the work. The
board has called for sealed proposals for
the removal of the wreckage, which will
be received till noon, July %.
Chairman Emery acquainted the Unit
ed States government with the facts of
the case some time ago, and inasmuch
as the Venetian was an obstruction to
navigation in the harbor deemed it the
duty of the general government to re-
move it.
Lieut.. Col. Mansfield of the United
States engineers, however, informed the
commission a few weeks ago that the
general. government did not think that
the wreckage was in any way menace
to navigation, and therefore would not
touch it.
Unwilling to enter into any lengthy
controversy with the war department.,
the board determined to go ahead with a
the work and remove what was not only
an unsightly mass, but what was oonsid-
cred by the merchants of Boston an inter-
ference with navigation, the opinion of
the national government to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
