Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - August 28, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba Sea . The Savages on Tho Island of Obevia Hoa better known to the English read ers As Dominica one of the Marquesas group have again broken out in a Foice and Are practising their disgusting orgies As cannibals. Dominica is Tho largest and most Fertile Island of Tho group but its natives Are among Tho Ernest of the Savages of the Douth seas. Although the a Quesan Savages were compelled to acknowledge Tho authority of France in 1842. Those on the Island of Domi Riichi Liuvao never yielded obedience. Tho French claim Trio islands us one of their oceanic governor and possessions and have a at in Small military Force nou Khiva. To keep the natives Subj octian Tho principal Force relied up on is the vessels one or More of which is always in some port or cruising about. A fierce War is now Rug Irig on the is land among Cannibal chiefs and Tho latest reliable news is to Tho Eft act that in Orie of choir Battles the victors captured seven of the enemy and Immo i Witoly slaughtered them. This act of butchery was followed by a horrible feast on Tho bodies of the victims at which War songs dunces and the usual Savage festivities were indulged in As soon As the news reached hero the French authorities took Active Meas ures for Dio Virnig against Tho Savages. The War vessel lying at nou Khiva is to be reinforced by another War Steamer and a Revenue Cutter or two. The object this time is to land sailors and marines upon Dominica and attempt to capture Tho Cannibal leaders. It is very doubtful if this can to accomplished is the natives always flee to Tho Interior fastnesses upon Trio approach 6t Tho French. When closely pursued by the latter Tho rival chiefs forces to give Battle to their common enemy. A few years ago this Placo was startled by news even Moro exciting than that we How have. It was then first reported that the cannibals on Dommica had captured and eaten three French sailors and also a number of natives captured in War. The authorities Here dispatched a Force to the Island which was Sueo useful in capturing one other most celebrated Warrior chiefs in fact the ambitious Leader who claimed to to King of Tho Island. This Warrior now quite an old. Man is still held u prisoner. He was brought to this place had a sort of trial and was sent Over to Lorea the Island adjacent to this. To is to to seen by the curious and a More remarkable specimen of Mankind it would be haul to find lib is tattooed from head to foot and is almost naked wearing anything except a Light cloth loins. One of his retain ers a Young Warrior is allowed to wait upon him. Besides this exiled King there Are four other cannibals his friends on More it. They deny Tho Chargo b f a Virtu eaten a French Man but admit that a native enemy captured according to their Laws makes an excellent dish especially if lie Boyoung and has not indulged in the civilized luxuries of Xvi Silcoy and tobacco. Tho French authorities have both informed that it is the Cannibal friends of this exiled King who Are now carrying on their War of Butch Ory. A complaint has been lodged with the Frenca officials that the american whaling vessel Helen Snow touched at the Island of Dominica some time ago and sold Tho natives ibs. Of pow Der a Quantity of Lead and a number of old muskets. Tho vessel came from Honolulu is said she purchased Tho articled mentioned. It is against the Law to sell or in any Trade such articles to the natives so that if the Holou Snow is captured and found guilty charged we shall have complications of an International character upon our hands. One thing is certain that it is Only by the greatest vigilance of Tho English and the French War vessels in Tho South Soast that Tho natives Are saved from Pir into captains like the o notorious and others of his kind. Strange to say the fiercest and most Bloodthirsty pirates and Man steal Ore of Tho South sea islands Are English men and americans. Biily Hayes of Samoa boasts that to was born Yankee land. A notorious Man stealer Captain of an English vessel engaged in by Ealing natives from the Fiji islands in former times was captured at his nefarious business and upon being to the Yard Arm to thanked god that he died game like a True and blood since Tho celebrated marriage of Aru Ano the eldest son of Queen Pomaro to the school girl Princess Ilsi Rau the Rov Al family of Tahiti has had a series of misfortunes and a Little run of Good Luck. Among the former was the death of Prince d Joinville not Long since. He loaves a Young and Beautiful Princess t6 mourn his loss. Tho Hemi Savages of these islands Are of a too Happy a disposition to mourn Long for anybody and after the first great burst of sorrow is Over and this is usually immense everything is forgotten save and except sign of the. Widow s weeds or Tho the widower s Grunt. In the Way of Good Luck the Royal family through Tho natives has just elected a girl Queen to govern the Island of Borabora. To carry out the wish of Queen Pomare the French government put a Steamer at her disposal that her majesty in per son might see Tho child Queen seven years old seated upon the throne. Bora Bora is one of the four islands that be Long to the society group All of which Are Independent of French Dominion. They claim allegiance to Pomarez though the claims Are lightly made from Tho fact that Tahiti and Morea the other islands of the group Aro governed by Tho French and that the Queen resides on one of Accident to a Cucut rdc. Tho English correspondent of the new York Tribune says a serious collision occur cd in Tho Mersey on sunday last Between the canard inward steam ship Abyssinia and the outward Guion steamship Wyoming. Whether you were allowed to know of it i can t say but All accounts of the Accident were sup pressed Here. I heard of it from a Pas Senger on Tho Abyssinia not from the London papers which do their by silence if not Perpet uate the old superstition that nothing Ever happens to a Cun Arder. T Don t know whether the Abyssinia or Wyo Ming was in fault but both suffered. Tho Wyoming it is had to put Back and the had her Side Laid open. When the passengers got off the lunar Der Tho water was Pom ing in to Tho lower Cabins and there scorned to to some danger that Tho ship might sink. Creation of the iliac is. Tho Yuto indians have Tho following account of the creation in Tho begin Ning Tho Earth was covered with mists. You could not see before you. Tho great spirit took his Bow ind arrows and so Well that to scattered Tho Mist. The Earth became visible to him but there was no men upon it. Then to took Clay fashioned a Man and set him to bake. Man came out White Tho fire lad not been Strong enough. The great spirit began his work again and this Timo the Man came out quite Black to had remained too Long in the oven. It was necessary to try a third time. The Experiment at length succeeded and Tho Man came out to a turn to was the red skin Tho most perfect of human Oak Lodge Tho 27th instant the wife of f. T.
