NEW CALEDONIA,
One hundred and twenty-four rebels in Orail district have surrendered, which, with one or two exceptions, comprise the whole of the rebels in that district. Fifty-six of these are women. They have all been sent to the Isle of Pines. (See Waka No. 22.) Diounst, the chief of Bourail, and 150 of his men are still at large amongst the mountains, but it is expected they too will surrender in a short time. On March 2, Norika, the war chief of Canala,
brought in 40 rebels, among whom was the infamous Cham, who shed a great deal of blood, and several other noted murderers. Six of them were immediately shot, and the rest sent into exile. The few blacks not yet taken are leading a miserable life among the rooks and forests, completely crushed in spirit. It is estimated that about nine hundred blacks have been killed and eleven hundred captured and banished to neighbouring islands since the revolt in June, 1878, On the afternoon of the 10th news was received of the killing of 10 rebels and the capture of the same number of prisoners by the faithful Kone tribe. This tribe, 400 strong, commenced operations against the insurgents, and put them to flight without being aided in any way by the whites.
