HOW EMDEN IS COALED.
COLLIER IN ARABIAN SEA. COMMANDER'S LITTLE JOKE. (Received October 23. 11.50 p.m.) Fremantle, October 23. The liner Medina has arrived from London. She reports that in the Arabian Sea she sighted a Dutch collier with hatches open and derricks rigged, as if about to coal a vessel. It is suggested that this is cue of the possible sources of the Linden's coal supply. The vessel brings a story from India that once the British mails were hung up at Rangoon owing to fear of the Emden. The latter's commander sent a message by wire-1 less : —" We will take your mails to Calcutta if you desire it."
