MINE-SWEEPERS.
OPERATIONS ON NEW ZEALAND COAST. (PBESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) WELLINGTON, June 11. A press cable message from Sydney this week announced that three minesweepers had called there on their way to New Zealand. Sir James Allen was asked if that report was correct. He replied that it was. The mine-sweepers had come down from Singapore, and) wer6 now to proceed to New Zealand, to go over the areas in whicii mines had been laid. Already these minefields had! been swept again and again, but this would give further assurance. Only a few mines wero now unaccounted ior, and these, it was thought, had probably broken loose and beea washed up at some lonely place on snore.
