IMPERIAL MINE-SWEEPERS.
ONTHEIR WAY TO NEW ZEALAND. Wellington, Last Night. A cable message from Sdyney this week announced that three mine-sweepers had called there on their way to New Zealand. Sir James Allen was asked if that report was correct. He replied that it was. Mine-sweepers had come down from Singapore, and were now to pro* feed to New Zealand to go over the areas in which mines had been laid. Already these minefields had been swept again and again, but this would give a further assurance. Only a few mines were now unaccounted for, and these, it was thought, had probably broken loose and been washed up at some lonely place on the shore.
