SAMOAN DEPUTATION.
ASSURANCES' OF GOODWILL. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, January 19. Assurances of goodwill to the New Zealand Government from the Samoans will be brought by the Samoan deputation which will arrive to-morrow on the Monterey to place several matters before the Prime Minister. This was indicated by Mr Savage in an interview to-night. “The members of the deputation are mainly coming here to assure us of their goodwill,” Mr Savage said. They also want to discuss their affairs with us, but if they are not bringing those assurances of goodwill to us it would be contrary to all they have said in the past.” “It is likely that after the deputation has placed the major items it wishes to deal with before the Prime Minister, discussions on details, if they are at all protracted, will be heard, by the Minister of Lands (the Hon. F. Langstone), who led the goodwill mission to Samoa and who has been deputising for the Prime Minister a good deal as acting-Minister in charge of Native Affairs. It is understood that the deputation will be in Wellington on Monday.
