Conflicting Statements.
Geneva, July 5. Contrasting with the com- munique 'cabled earlier, Admiral Jones (United States); in an interview, said that neither the tonnage nor the classification of submarines had yet been settled Admiral Jones denied reports that the Americans had made a new proposal regarding cruisers. He expressed the opinion that the problein of destroyers and Bubmarines was easier to solve than the problem of cruisers.
At the Guildhall there was guard of honour furnished by the Honourable Artillery Company.
King George's four sons were present at the reception and luncheon, where there was a large and distinguished gathering.

PIRATE GUNBOAT.
Chinese Sailors' Double Dealing.
`SHIP LET FOR $6,000.
A curious incident is reported in naval wireless message from
Kongmoon, detailing how eight members of the crew of the Chinese gunboat "Kong Ko" took advantage of the absence on shore of the off-
cars and remainder of the ships company at Kongmoon to hire the gunbout to a pirate band, for $6,000.
The pirates preceeded on Monday to stop the s.5. “Man On" (Canton-| Wuchow run) near Sam Chau on the pretext that the gunboat officers wished to inspect the ship for
arms.
Having secured the arms, they
pirated the ship, kidnapping the Chinese captain and twenty-four passengers and robbing them of al valuables.
Having taken all that they want- ed, the pirates landed the passon- gers at Tit Ngan Kok. All the cargo was landed on the island of Taiping Chow.
It is rumoured that, the pirates having accomplished their purpose in securing loot, and knowing that they could not hope to escape even- tual capture if they remained with the gunboat, abandoned it off Fat- other gunboats who were in pur shan where it was discovered by
suit.
