The Captain: Sunt up a rocket, His Worship: It is very curious that the sergeant on duty in the Police piunave passed your ship at a distance of not more than 200 yards, and did not notice any signal lights.

Two Monte Cablenews gives the following interesting information:---
The search for the Legaspi still goes on The British authorities at Hongkour are the istest to endeavour to find some evidence of the missing steamer and have despatched a gunboat to the southern seas with that object in view.
Vessels arriving from the southern islands also report Japanese cruisers in the surrounding

According to a report of the Swiss Consul- General in Yokohama, remarks the Bent.che. || Export Leve, no one would have dared, tea years ago, to predict Japan's wonderful develop- ment. In 1893 its foreiga trade was about $93,500,000 in 1942, $3.3,500,000). The bank deposits of Tokyo in 1895 amounted to less than $18,500,000; in 19 & they had risen to $66.500, 00; those of Osaka amounted to $5,000,000 in 1893 and to $38,500,000 in 1903.
