DIRECTIONS TO CONSIGNEES. •The steamer-Apolda, captured as a prize of war in Cape Town soon after tho outbreak of hostilities, had on board a good deal of.;cargo.for New Zealand. A number of y, commercial people having an interest in the steamer's cargo communicated with the At-torney-General (the Hon. A. .i.L. Herdman), and the Government made representations to the Union Government of South Africa inquiring whether facilities could be given to New Zealand consignees for the release of their goods. Yesterday the Government received the following information:—
"Replying to inquiry Attorney-General, Pretoria, wi.ll afford every' facility for release, on proof of ownership of New Zealand cargo of prize ships. Negotiations are proceeding with Imperial aud Royal Government with regard to forwarding such cargo. Will, send the reBults when known by telegraph." : It. is therefore necessary for those persons who have goods on the Apolda or other steamers. detained in South African waters to ifuriiish to the Attorof the Union Government, Pretoria, particulars of their goods so that the.matter of their release and transhipment to .this country can be considered.
