KANAKAS IN QUEENSLAND.
By Telegraph:— Association.—Copyright.
(Received March 28, 1.16 a.m.)
London, March 27. Lord Onslow, in reply to to Lord Lamington, said he interpreted the cable published in the Daily Mail in reference to the deportation of kanakas from Queensland to mean that if a kanaka was repatriated he would be immediately killed, cooked, and eaten. It was Captain Rason's special business to inform the kanakas about to be repatriated of the opportunities awaiting them, and give them the assurance that if they feared ill-treatment they would be sent to a British possession, where they would be welcomed and safe.
