GERMANY AND QUEENSLAND.
By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.
(reuter’s telegrams.) Adelaide, February 2. The Potosi arrived to-day. The following is a summary of news from London, December 28 :—The Cologne Gazette publishes an aggressive article entitled “ Queensland : the interests of Germany there,” and threatens that English colony with a wholesale invasion of Teutonic settlers. The German immigrants in Queensland, says the Gazette, decline to form a party hostile to the interests of the British Empire, but are endeavoring to secure a preponderant influence in that part of Australia, in preparation for its final annexation by Germany. Australian separation from England, it adds, is ouly a question of time, and consequently the question arises whether Germany’s greater influence in the South Seas and the neighborhood of the immense German protectorate of New Guinea, whose development will lead to active intercourse with Queensland, do not peremptorily demand the creation and strengthening of a German colony in Australia itself in order to counterbalance the acquisition of the whole of the South Seas by Australia.
