AUSTRIAN IMMIGRATION.
(Per Unitkd Pr-uss Association.)
WELLINGTON, January 23.
The Premier advises the Press Association that an error occurred in the report of his remarks at Hokitika on January 13 concerning the Austrian immigration. He .did not say that the Imperial Government had asked that those on their way out should be allowed to land, but that the Governor had received a cable from the Secretary of State saying that the Aus-tro-Hungarian- Charge d'Affaires had requested permission to land the men already arrived and now on their way out to New Zealand. It will be seen that the Imperial Government did not offer the request. The telegram was forwarded without comment of any kind. The Premier further said he had replied that the Union Steam Ship Company had agreed to give a bond for 'those then at Sydney, with the exception of ten who had means and were otherwise guaranteed; also that the North German Lloyd's had intimated that they had no more booked, and the object sought was being attained.
