ROTTEN BANANAS.
A CARGO JETTISONED. Auckland, August 19. The Maui Pomare arrived at Auckland to-day and reported that 5,000 cases of bananas from the Islands had been jettisoned at sea. She had only-200 cases fit for consumption. The .cause of the loss has not been established, but it is understood that the refrigerating apparatus was in good working order. The weather on the voyage was not unusually hot, but the temperature in the banana hold rose 100 degrees, double that required, a day or so after leaving Apia. An inquiry is being held.
