Berlin, April 9. —The latest intelligence from German Southwest Africa says the discoveries of diamonds at Luderitz Bay are more important than was at first supposed. Diamonds hitherto have been picked up on the sandy desert, but attempts to bore for water led to the finding of blue earth pockets containing diamonds similar to the Kimberly and other South African stones.
