The Newcastle Fracas.
Press Association—Telegraph—Copyright, Received September 9, 9.4 a.m. MELBOURNE, September 9. Captain Coutts, one of the recipients of the Queen's Scarf, now in Melbourne with another New Zealand soldier, Sergt. Watt», says the story as stated in the New Zealand press about the melee with the Munster Fusiliers is absolutely untrue. " The disturbance was of a most trivial character, and only three New Zealanders were implicated. No one was killed. The whole trouble was due to the action of some Fi>i-liei-s. Only fifteen men took part in the affray. , Captain Dalrymple, another New Zealander, also declares the account exaggerated. ■•
