A PHANTOM REBELLION. The following letter appears in the N. Daily News.
Sir-In recent number of your excellent journal I read the following paragraph --
According to a momorist of Lit Sha-tang, Governor of Henan, published in the Peking Gazette of the 18th nitimo, the insurrection in that province, berdering the Chilli frontier pre festure of Tamningfu, note of which was published in the columns at the time, heanfter considerable diffionity bean at last ermebed.

But we do not obory that the bingstallists have been very forward in telling them. The whole subject comes under the deciplina ei, and they show
