A North Chinchou despatch states that on the night of the 17th instant a large body of Hunghuise, under the leadership of the redoubt- able chiefs Feng Ling-ko and Tu Li-shuu, snd- denly surrounded and surprised a camp of Government troops at a place called Niuto, west of Esinmintan. The camp hold's battalion of infantry under the command of Major Jên Chaowu, who with only fifty of his finally succeeded in breaking through the lunghutso, leaving everything inside to the mercy of the attackers. Of the soldiers in the camp early sixty were killed, while thres hundred surrendered and asked to be allowed to join the ranks of the Hunghutse, which wHE accorded by the two chiefs. The conquerors carried off 360 Mauser magazino rifles and some 25,000 cartridges, besides the regimental chost and a large quantity of food supplies. The reason given for the ease with which the Hung. hatre attained their object is that the raided camp was situated in a very lonely place and many miles distant from any neighbouring camp. The General Commanding the Hsiuuinfu dis triet has asked for strong reinforcements from both Viceroy Yuan Shih-kai aud General Ma Yu-k'un, declaring that the slender forces under his command are quite inadequate either to keep order or defend themselves against the well-armed and superior number of the Rung- butse.-N.-C.

Mr. Howett minutod-The committee of the Chamber of Commerce, which includes representatives of almost all the British and German shipping visiting Hongkong, have in- formed the Government that they are opposed to the introduction of such an apparatus, as in their opinion it cannot with safety be used on u vessel unless there is no carge on board. The reports attached show that serious damage might be caused not only to the paint and fittings of vessel, but also to many classes of cargo on board. The Acting M.O.II. states in hie opinion it is impossible to properly close Chivere houses for the purpose of fumigation. With all due deference to this official, I would state that with all passenger steamers greater difficulty would be experienced, and some passorger ships are so constructed that it would be an absoluto impossibility to close the passenger accommoda. tion sufficiently to bill rats, etc., by gas.
The PRESIDENT thought they must wait for to the further information with referones merits of this process. The Secretary of State said in his letter that the information presently obtained did not warrant a definite conclusion being arrived at in favour of the process. Personally he was of opinion that it was a very effective measure as u plague proventative, bat le did not think the time had arrived for the Board to make a recommendation for its use generally on ships in the Harbour.
Mr. HEWETT stated that he had intended to make a few remarks on the subject, but in viow of what the President had said he would defer them till a more suitable time. He understood the question had been raised with a view of adopting the Paris Convention as opposed to the Venice Convention with regard to the trent- ment of ships. A letter from the Colonial Secretary would be considered at a meeting of the committes of the Chamber of Commerce to-morrow (Wednesday) with reference to the Paris Convention.
The PRESIDENT remarked that that matter had not boen referred to the Board.
