INTERNED IN NEW YORK. According to the returns of the Collector of Customs at New York (says .the "Tri-, bune") there were at the end of January 30 vessels belonging to Germany and hor allies tied up in the port of New York. They represent a total tonnage of 291,971. and an aggregate value of £29,197,000. All except the German chip Indra and the German barque Matador aro steamers, the majority of them being excellent freight carriers, which will be seized by Uncle Sam in tho event of war being declared. A MYSTEBIOUS 6H13 , . Thoro is a mystery about tho sailing vessel Manga Eova, which is now up for inquiry as an overdue vessel, says "Fair■play" in a recent issue. Apparently the last TioiTS of her was x wireless messaso received by the steamer Rijndam. saying that 6ho was drifting with the wind witn, all her boats gone. Tlio Manga Kcva. 1s not fitted with wircloss, according to the renister. If the mcssaKß was sent by another vessel, where is that vessel? And, in any- ca.nr. why liavc no othei\ steamers Toported wireless messages lost ship? Th.o case is certainly mysterious. a.ud I am surprised that the singular circumstance of a wireless message, purporting to come from a vessel not fitted with wireless apparatus, has not attracted the attention "£ otherß. Perhaps the matter will - become less obscure when an inquiry is hold, or is t'.iis another unsolvabio mystery of tLo sea?

'SHIPPING AT NEW YORK. By the last American mail, Malller and Queroau, of New York, supplied the following report of shipping conditions at tho American port:—"Ji shinpinj matters it is difficult to give any Tery definite information. Tho British Government has instruoted all agents of the British lines to suppress the names of Btcamers loading and dates of departure, or to givo any information publicly, confining it all to tho shippers, who are. supplied with theso details. It is Quito probable that the neutral lines -will have to adopt this system, in view of tho recent German ■ proclamation. By this means it is hoped there will be loss opportunity for operations .of the submarines. Charter cost of steamers still continues high, and it is difficult to get any tonnage for long- voyages. Freight rates remain unchanged, and although cost of steamers is higher, rates have not as yet been advanced: It would not he Burprieins to see them higher, .in tho near future." \ Those interested aro reminded, of the public auction at tho Ohariiber of Commerce, Wellington, on Thursday the steamers Putiki and Hula. A sale of this character in bo unusual that the event is sore to. have close attention. The auctioneers aro Messrs. Lovin and Co., Ltd,. The Awahoa is timed , to lc'avo Wellington to-day for Okaha, where she "will load, sheep and cattle for Wanganui. _ • Tho Orepukl is timed to leavo/Wellinsrton at 4 o'clock this afternoon for Nelson, Ta.ka.ka, and Tarakohe. Tho Bipplo is due in port to-day from Gisboroe, via tho East Coast. Tho vessel will leave here at & p.m. to-morrow for Napier, Gisborne, and Akitio. Tho Blenheim should have arrived at Picton yesterday from Punonga. She has now been scheduled to proceed , again to Puponga, to load for Pioton. After that the vessel will probably come to Wellington. She is advertised to leave for Havelock and Pelorus Sounds on Monday next. The rnnnine of the Putiki is at present in doubt. There is apossibility that she will not again go to Wanganui until after she'has been auctioned. , ■ The Moeraki, ■ from Sydney, is duo here to-day. The vessel will leavo for Lyttel-. 1 ton to-morrow afternoon. The last vessel to reach Wellington from San Francisco brought 1317 tone of 'oargo, including 12C0 cases Californian oraeges, 40 cases grapefruit, 246 kits and 5529 caec3 bananas, 2144 cases Earotongan oranges, 11 tons canned fruit, 157 tons dried fruit, 45 lons bottles, 90 tons rubber Boods, 7 tons sheet zinc, 48 tons roofing material, 137 tons oil, 23 tons paint, a quantity of periodicals, and 8 ceses antomobiles. The dredge Paritutu (New Plymouth, Harbour Board) arrived in port yesterday afternoon from New Plymouth to "undergo her annual overhaul, Tvhlch. should take about five or rii -weeks. .
