J. McCook, of New York, will be sec
rotary of the interior. AS recently
planned, he was to be attorney general,
and Judge McKenna, of California, was
to be secretary of the interior. Judge
McKenna being Catholic. and as the
secretary of the interior handles the
sectarian school questions, the judge
concluded that he would encounter
unusual embarrassments in that pO-
sition. For this reason a recasting

suited, and McKenna will be attorney

years past the natives on the islands
Of Raiatea and Tahaa, dependencies of
the Tiahi government, have refused to

place at the village of Tevaitoa, where
the natives made a gallant fight
against the 700 French troops. They
suffered defeat and had seventeen
killed and five wounded. According
to the official narrative the victory will
suffice to produce an excellent OBJECT
upon these rebellious natives, who are
