THE AUSTRIAN DIFFICULTY.
STATEMENT BY THE PREMIER. [OT TKLEOBAPU.—PRESS ASS'ICI \TTOS.I Wellington, Monday. The Premier advises the Press Association that an error occurred in the report of his remarks at Hokitika on January 3, re Austrian immigration. He did not say the Imperial Government had asked that those Austrians on the way out should be allowed to land, but that the Governor had received a cable from the Secretary of State spying the Austro-Hungarian Charge d'Affaires requested permission to land the men who had already arrived and were now un the way out to New Zealand. It will be seen that the Imperial Government did not proffer the request. The telegram was forwarded without comment of any kind. The Premier further said he had replied that the Union Company had agreed to give a bond for those then at- Sydney, with the exception of 10, who had means, and who were otherwise guaranteed, also that the North German Lloyd's had intimated that they had no more Austrians booked for New Zealand, and the object of the prohibition had been attained.
