THE AUSTRALIAN SQUADRON.
(!*••<• IV<>» .Jss-., t i,fi,( t. I lii'et M ill IV' . 7. ill 11. .-1.1.1. I Mki.rocknk, This day. 1 luring next year the (iovernments of the different colonies have to decide what action they will take in reference to th ■ renewal of the agreement concerning the Auxiliary Squadron. If they agree to continue the present form of agreement, the visit* of the vessels to Queen-land, South Australia, and We-tern Australia will have to be more freijm nt. Roth South Australia and out i-nsland complain they see very little of them. It is considered that the stipulation made by New Zealand that two vessels must always he in their waters is too great a concession compiled with the small sum that colony contributes towards the maintenance of the squadron. There is also some feeling in regard to Sydney's privilege as head quarters of the squadron.
