[REUTER’S TELEGRAMS.] Bv Electric Telegraph—Copyright. THE NEW ZEALAND LOAN. THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF SAMOA. THE “INVINCIBLE” PARTY. ASSASSINATION OF A SOPPOSED DIVULGER. (Received January 12, 12.15 p.m.) London, January 10. The tender for the New Zealand loan is £4,190,000; and tenders at £99 6s 6d will receive 65 per cent. The amount tendered for was not 30 per cent., as previously stated. Arrived, at Plymouth, the steamship Orient, from Melbourne, November 28, with a cargo of frozen meat. Lord Derby is not in favour of annexing Samoa, as proposed by New Zealand.
Government telegrams from Berlin state that in well-informed circles that it is generally believed that both Germany and the United States would strongly protest against the annexation of Samoa by Great Britain. New York, January 10. A serious affray occurred to-day at O’Donovan Rossa’s office in this city. It appears that an Irishman, a member of the Invincible party, was invited into Rossa’s office, and while there was set upon and stabbed to death by other members of the society. The crime, it is stated, was committed on account of the murdered man having divulged the secret plans of the society. O’Donovan Rossa disavows all complicity in the affair. .—
