From Our Own Correspondent THURS. IS., April 25.

LATEST information regarding the two white men alleged to have been killed last year near the border of Dutch New Guinea seems to indicate that the victims were the men who last year cleared out with a launch from Cairns, and got away to Dutch ter ritory. But they were advised to leave again, after the Australian authorities were unable to bring them back be cause of the expense.

The two young men in the “Kuiam,” who were at first thought to have been killed, subsequently turned up as castaways in Dutch territory, and have been assisted back to England.
