Is It A German Ruse ? * An interesting item is reported from Panama. A steamer recently arrived there with 159, crates, which were found to contain a complete wireless installat on. They were signed to the "Compania' de Electricidad Industrial" in Val- paraiso. The can,l authorities have held them up, pending an investigation into their ultimate- destination, as the "Compania de Electricidad" is unknown in Valparaiso. It is confidently believed that the move is a German ruse to establish wireless communication with Germany.

In February (lost, to meet the civil needs of the population of these islands we possessed, he states, almost exactly 1,500 ships/of useful sizes, 1,403 toņa and over. The Adwir→ alty, has revealed in its weekly returas that in the interval 1872. ships have been, sunk, and ́a number have undoubtedly been so injured that they cannot be available for many months, if for the duration of the war.
