THE MAHOMMEDAN REBELLION.
BUESIAN PRECAUTIONS. Reliable advices from a foreign missionary, who resides in Uramts, the distant capital of Chiness Turkistan, has reached us, dated Decem bor, which throws a very different complexion upon the state of sileira in Kansat. The Im porial General Tang Helang-fuh has bean Bling fens after isens of the Peking Gazette with accounts, à la Yeh and Wel, of Eis victories over, the Mahommedans, whom by hie on ac counts bo must by this time have wiped off the face of the earth. Desperate battles have been fought and whole armies of Mahommedaus exterminated, and the disturbed province has teen reduced to quietness by the heroia efforts of Tang and hle warriors, whom wa hry gravely told gn into battle with pebbles in their mouths to keep them from jabbering and so giving the enemy notice of their coming until the attack was delivered! According to our informant the bulk of the Mahommedans, instead of continuing hostilities during the cold weather, very sensibly withdrew from the scene of active operations, leaving the country cicar to the heroic fung, wh no doubt has been butchering the country people and other harmless and informidable folk to his heart's content, Both our informant and the Russian oficiais at Kuldja ara convinced that the Mabommedans ary preparing to renew the war in the spring en à greater salo than ever, So firmly do the Russians belieru this that they are rapidly mussing men on their eastern frontlers to be ready for all eventualition when the war is renewed. The Chiesse Governor of Turkistan was, at the time our adviom laft Urumai, proparing to more eastward into Kan sub, prchably with the idea of getting the robels in between his force and the army of General Tang. He was to start after China New Year. If the rebellion was "crashed," as the Chinese scribes lová to describe A, there would be DA recessity for this mors on the part of the Chi- Logs Governor of Turkistan. We are further informed that the Russian agents are at work trying to stir up the Mahammodane, but the latter are rather suspicions of those new advisers, whose rule they know to be a more real. (and harder) thing than that of the Chinese-in ordinary times at least The moveinut - of Bussian troops towards, the Chiness frontier would seem to indicate the contemplation of a repetition of the seizure of Ili twanty odd years But Bassin, of course, is justified in ago. guarding her frontiers sgainst danger and irruption by Chinese rabble. The excuse is good enough anyhow-China Gazette.

TRADE WITH NIAM,
The Siam Free Press translates fronia French paper recoiyod by a recent mail the following letter addressed to the French Minister of Foreiga Affairs by M. Lo Myre do Vilers in 1893
Monsieur le Ministre.I have the honour to call your attention to the complete trans- formation which has operated upon the von merce of Siami srace the opening of the Suez Canal. Formerly the importations came by means of sailing vessels, from 600 to 1,300 ton, which followed the Cape routs: Torlay Euro- pear murchandise in carried by stormers from 3,000 to 4,000 tons, which tranship at Singa poro owing to the Bangkok Bar proventing rossels of over 1,000 tons from entering the river. Singapore has thus become the grand entropit of the valley of the Menam
