Rumors of British deal to buy Samoan Tonga plantations
The Fiji press hints at an English company being formed to buy out German plantation companies in Samoa and Tonga. Sir John Thurston allegedly initiated a movement to create South Pacific copra, aiming to curb Plantations and influence copra prices. The motive appears political, possibly paving annexation by Britain. Also noted is Oceanic steamer Mariposa built in detachable sections, with dispatches in the San Francisco Chronicle confirming its arrival in Auckland from San Francisco on May 20–22.
