New Government House in Tulagi.
From a Special Correspondent.
Tulagi, May 20.
THE Resident Commissioner, Mr.
F. N. Ashley, returned on the last “Mataram.” As the residence was condemned lately and has been demolished, he will reside on Quaran tine Island outside Tulagi till the new house is completed.
A consignment of timber for the new residence arrived by the last “Mataram,” and it is expected to have the house finished shortly.
The French man-o’-war “Savorgnan de Brazzar” called at Apia recently for a short visit.
Official calls were returned and the sailors took the opportunity of getting acquainted with the neighbourhood of Apia, though their dealings with local people were made rather difficult by the uncertain rate of exchange.
