NEW ZEALAND DREADNOUGHT.
STATEMENT BY THE PREMIER, (By Telegraph.—Special Corrc6nondcnt.l ■ Auckland, March G. Speaking to a "Herald" reprcsentativ6 last evening regarding the New Zealand battleship gift, Sir Joseph Ward said the launch would probably take place on Juno 25, but no arrangement had, as far as he was aware, been made as to who should perform the ceremony of christening the new vessel. As to the suggestion made that tho gift should bo altered to a super-Dreadnought,' it was practically impossible, to make any alteration in the ship now. He had received a letter from Dr. Richard Arthur, M.L.C., of New South Wales, on the subject, and had replied that tho change was out of tho question, inasmuch as the battleship was already so far advanced that she would bo launched before tho end of June. Moreover, the greater portion of the cost of building the vessel was nlready paid for.
