AMERICAN HORSES.
JM PORTS PROHIBITED. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, June S. Owing to the jrrevalence of disease among horses in the United States and Canada, the importation of horses from those countries into New Zealand is now prohibited. A similar prohibition was imposed by Australia a lew weeks ago and New Zealand, in effecting the embargo, the necessary authority for which appears in yesterday’s Gazette, is acting in co-ordination with the Commonwealth. Owing to tin's disoaso (equine encephalomyelitis) there has been a considerable mortality rate among horses in the United .States and Canada recently and the New Zealand embargo will remain in force until the position is reviewed. The only horses imported from the United States into New Zealand are trotters, but it is considered that the precautionary embargo will not seriously affect trotting interests in the Dominion.
