(Received July 19, 9.26 p.m.)
London, July 19. In the House of Commons yesterday the Prime Minister (Sir H. Camp-bell-Bannerman), replying to Mr. J. B. Lonsdale, said he was aware that a section of Australian opinion favoured the having of a local navy, but there was no reason to believe that that was the general opinion. If the Commonwealth decided to establish a local fleet, he hoped it would take the British Admiralty's advice respecting its constitution.
