COLONIAL TELEGRAMS.
John Hawkin's, aged 20, who was in a melancholy condition from the effects of la grippe, walked into the surf at Napier on Tuesday morning and was drowned. He had got up during the night, wandered about the beach, then gone back and changed his clothes, putting the wet ones under the bed. News received in Auckland from Tonga reports that the Premier, Mr Shirley Baker, was roughly forced to quit the place, and a ■new Ministry has bsen formed. Word received from Melbourne states that the seamen intend to go to extremes if their demands are not acceded to. So far the owners are obdurate. Tbe Waiapu Separation Bill has been introduced in the House. Mr Arthur took care not to take the Bill in hand openly.
