NEWS FROM FIJI.
THE THREATENED MISSIONARY. SYDNEY, January 12. Dr Brown, General Secretary of the Wesleyan Board of Missions, has received confirmation of the cablegram sent relative to the threatened deportation of a missionary from Fiji. His advices come from the chairman of the Fiji Wesleyan district, and include copies of letters addressed to him by the Colonial Secretary of Fiji, containing complaints against one of the missionaries, and requesting his removal from the district. The accusation is that he actively engaged in a political campaign amongst the natives, with the osensible object of persuading them to entertain proposals for federation with New Zealand. The matter will receive the earliest attention of the Mission Board. The misssionary in question, Dr Brown Jays, emphatically denies the truth of the statement made against him on the ru_ thority of a native witness, and asks that full inquiry may be made.
