BASELESS RUMOURS
♦ NO SICKNESS ON THE WILLOCHHA. There aro some runiotirs in circulation to the effect that thero has been an outbreak of smallpox on tho troopship Willochra. Mr. J. C. Thomson asked the Defence Minister in the House whether there was any truth in the rumour. Tho Hon. J. Allen said that ho had received no information whatever about any illness on tho Willochra or the Tofua, and he could not conceive how anybody else could have received any information. Ho did not know where the rumour came from, but it must be absolutely baseless.
