DUTCH NEW GUINEA.
NO CONVICTS TO BE SENT
(Received 9.42 a.m.)
LONDON, May 9
Mr Chamberlain has cabled to Lord Hopetoun (Governor-General of the Australian Commonwealth) that the Netherlands Minister explains that deportation to the colonies is unknown Under the Netherlands penalty code. The rumour that Holland was sending convicts to New Guinea probably arose through the temporary removal of some Java convicts to Menuke for the purpose of erecting a residency.
