AMERICAN ENTERPRISE DEFEATED.

LONDON AGENCY HAS THE COPY-

RIGHT,

Wellington, April 1

The Ten1 a Nova arrived at Akaroa at 6 a.m. The reason she did not come to Stewart Island, as was given out, is that on former occasions attempts were made to intercept news there by persons from America and other countries. Even the other day an offer of £50 was made to a Government official at Half Moon Bay to send a message - to America. To delude these gentry therefore, ' Stewart Island was mentioned again as her first port of call and the real destination kept secret. The Central News Agency, London, is the holder of the main copyright, and their representative in Now Zealand controls the time at which it will bo given out, which will probably be made to suit English papers first of all.
