Manzanillo, Oct. 25.
The German steamship Havelland arrived here yesterday from Costa Rica with a cargo of Philippine sugar, copra and coconut oil seeking transhipment by an American vessel dor delivery to Galveston, New Orleans, and other Atlantic ports.
The United States gunboat Erie of the special service squadron arrived in the harbour at the same time on a "courtesy visit" soon after the arrival of the Havelland. Coincidental-"Jy, the Erie met the Havelland near Oaxaca, it was reported, and the customary exchange of salutations were made. The Havelland hoisted a Netherlands flag. The gunboat asked that the vessel raise its real flag, whereupon it was said, the Havelland hoisted the Nazi banner.—United Press,
