THE “GLAMORGANSHIRE"
ASHURE,
THE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS AND
NO HOPE FOR THE VESSEL. Telegrams have been received in Hongkong reporting the wreck of the steamer Glamor ganshire. The vessel left here on the 4th inst. in ballast for Saigon, where she was to take on board a cargo of rice for Europe, and on the 7th inst., about seven o'clock in the evening, she strack the Rosslyn reef, which is about thirty miles from Cape St. James, and immediately filled with water. The first telegram received from Saigon stated that Captain Vyvyan, who is well known in Hongkong, was standing by the vessel, and that all the passengers and crew were safe. As soon as the news of the wreck reached Saigon arrangements were made for salving the disabled ship and a tug was sent, but as the vessel was in a very bad position and there were no appliances at hand capable of raising her it is most probable that she broke up before the tag, on which was a marine surveyor, could reach her. This idea is strengthened by the fact that at 3.30 p.m. on the 8th inst. a small boat containing fifteen hands of the Glamorganshire, including five Eu- ropeans, arrivod at Cape St. James. The people in this boat included two passengers, one named Tait, the second officer, and two engineers, and five other Europeans. The second officer then reported that the vessel was in all probability broken up by that time. Later in the afternoon two more boats arrived, containing Captain Vyryan and the remainder of the crew, so that it is evident that the vessel was hopelessly doomed. On the 9th Captain Vyvyan and the crew left Saigon for Hongkong.
THE REBELLION IN THE PHILIPPINES.
ANOTHER ROYALIST SUCCESS.
We are indebted to Senor de Navarro, Spanish Consul, for a. copy of the following telegram:
Manila, 8th March. Salitran was captured yesterday. The rebels suffered considerable loss. Our loss was ten killed and thirty wounded.
HONGKONG CRICKET CLUB.
THE CLUB V. THE GARRISON.
The return match between the Club and the Garrison was played on Friday and Saturday. last in very pleasant oricket weather, and resulted, after a rather interesting game, in a win for the Garrison by a majority of 57 runs on the first innings. The Club closed their account with eight wickets down in their second innings, and left the Garrison with an hour and a quarter to keep their sticks up, or to wipe off the 1 runs which they were to the bad on the two innings. Two of the military batsmen succumbed very early and it looked for a few minutes as if the Club were going to make their opponents work for their victory, but when Johnston and Howard got together, they soon put the result byond doubt, as they stayed for three-quarters of an hour and when Johnston left the score was .75 for three wickets and the match was practically over.
At Bangkok on the 22nd February it was discovered that a forgery involving a very large sum belonging to H.S.M. Treasury had been perpetrated. On the 19th a cheque for Tcs, 160,000, purporting to be drawn by the Treasury, was presented to the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank and paid in currency notes, and on the 22nd the signature thereto was found to have been forged.
The man accused of forging the cheque was subsequently arrested and it is reported that there will be no loss to the Bank through the affair, which would appear to have arisen rather from departmental rivalries or complications from an intent to defraud, as of the money some was left in the Bank and the remainder used for official purposes,

The teams could hardly be considered repre- sentative ones, as Wood and others were away.on the side of the military and several well known names were absent on the Club side; who, it should be also mentioned, batted one short in the first innings.

Sercombe Smith was fortunate in winning the toss, but his side did not respond very readily to their opportunities, Hardinge, Cox, and himself being the only batsmen to give very serions trouble. The Naval Commander who in 1881, has an was out here as a easy style and hits hard: his innings, which was cleverly cut short by Vallings, was of great value to the Club. The Club captain, when well set, rashly jumped out to drive Howard and was bowled, whilst the P. and O. man played his usual bold game in this as well as in the next innings, succumbing twice to the same bowler in the same manner.
Corpl. Beaseley, going, in late in the innings, bowled with marked success, getting 3 wickets for 17; the best trundling, however, was done by Howard.

Having had (scapes. both men played. well, Langhorne venturing nothing and the corporal hitting so hard that on his retirement he, had bagged 40 ont of 59 scored; we were very glad to see this batsman's success. Vallings played out time, but on resuming on Saturday did not cause much trouble. Howard made a prolonged stand with Langhorne and settled the issue of the match, taking the score from 98 to 154,. Howard, W.Y.R., b when Howard's well-played innings was termi- nated by a good one from Smith, who also got Johuston brilliantly taken next ball at mid off by Perry-Ayscough: 3 and 4 for 154. The other 8 wickets added only 31 runs, Mast capturing two and Smith six. Langhorne was sixth wicket down at 171, out of which he had made 74 by, on the whole, steady and correct oricket: it was not, however, an unblemished. innings, for in hitting out he gave more than one chance in the long field: out of 43 strokes made by him, 27 resulted in singles only. Without him and the corporal, and the luck, the Garrison would probably have been worsted. Smith bowled well and put on a lot of string; Mast and Mackenzie also bowled steadily, but did not meet with good luck.
Being 57 in arrears the Club went in a second time with orders to hit. In the first fifteen minutes Perry Ayscough and Cox knocked up 45. Then Mackenzie and Hardinge, added 33 in quick time, as also did Ward and Hardinge. After the R. N. left things slowed down, till Arthur and Lammert got together: some hard whacking was indulged in by these two, who, in fifteen minutes, took the score from 131 to 183, when the innings was declared closed. Arthur's hitting was especially strong and he played an invaluable game at a critical period: he was not out 37 and Lammert not out 16. Between them they spoiled Vallings's analysis, which nevertheless was the creditable one of 6 wickets at a cost of 13 runs apiece.
