SPECIAL TELEGRAMS.

(Per Anglo-Australian Telegraph Press Agency.)

Auckland, Monday, 6.30 p.m. A Maori reported to the police to-day the loss of £93 in notes and gold. He believed that he had .been robbed. It was-ultimately ascertained that he had dropped the money in the Auckland Hotel. Miss Eadcliffe, barmaid, found jt and restored it. She received a present of £5 from the owner.—Nothing further has been heard of the ' Alice Cameron.' It is now nearly certain that the vessel must have fallen in with a hurricane, and foundered. What niore especially points to the' conclusion that some sad fate has befallen her is that two vessels, the 'Jewess' and the 'Leba M.Long,' left Newcastle for Hongkong about the same date, one on the s»mo day, one the day before the departure of the ' Alice Cameron,' and neither have since been heard of. This makes it likely that all three have been overwhelmed in one common disaster. Sharemarket.—-Sales: Bank of New Zealand, £17 15s; National Bank, 71s; National Insurance, 295; Albion (first issue), 60s. Buyers : Caledonian, £8. Sellers: Thames Gas, 375; Bright Smile, 655.
