Would a P. & O. mail bont, overhauled, say, at 14.50 Singapore," information received," and found to have such a passenger on board, be able to confiscation? It would be just as impossible for the capters to prove that the captain of such vessel did know whom 26,00 he was conveying away, as it is for the cap- tain of the Nigretia to prove that he did not know who or want his two fatal passengers were. Even supposing, as the Japanese seem to have supposed, that he ought to hure kuuwa, or at least suspected, their character, should his, ship be confiscated The answers to these questions will be eagerly looked for on or about the 15th inst.; although Japan opinion seems to bold out small hope of the restoration of the Nigretia.from 5 to 60 pin is as follows: On the other point, what the Times calls Japanese "grim humour" ju acting as if it were a foregone conclusion, we note that our Kobe contemporary sass no impropriety [33] the course taken, reminding us that in the event of successful apposi, the Japanese Government holds itself responsible for the ship and cargo.
