/ LONDON, June 12th.-The Colonial Gov
ernments of Australia have all passed the
necessary Acts providing funds for the con-
struction by the British Government of
several ships of war to be devoted exclus-
! lively to the defense of the Australian colo

| colonial free trade through Australia.
Whether imperial federation, as advocated

| fleet at hand, their remonstrance might
take vigorous form.
