BEHAVIOUR

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received April 27th, 10 p.m.)

BRISBANE, April 27. Captain Hang, of the German steamer Siar, reports that when off the coast of British New Guinea he saw a steamer of about 3000 tons lying near Ketava. Island, while to th© northward of tho steamer were five large native sailing vessels. He shaped a course for the steamer to ask for Greenwich time, his chronometers being out; but the steamer, wheeled around and went eastwaTd at full speed.. Tho sailing vessels also turned back. Captain Hang went after the steamer but could not catch her. He came to the conclusion that she was engaged in smuggling operations, and mistook the Siar for the Government steamer Mcrrie England. When the Siar was a considerable distance to the southward the steamer wheeled round and a,ppenred to go back j towards Ketava Island.
