THE ASSASSINATION OF THE TARTAR-GENERAL.

It appears that the bomb that created such havoe was thrown from the roof of a house in Chong Chin Street, in the Southern suburbs, not for from the Government Wharf: Bome idea of the sise of the bomb may be obtained when it is romem. bered that besides wounding nearly a hundred

Quo report stated that the unfortunate General was crushed by the debris of these falling houses; another states that the harab exploded just before his chair and shattered him to pieces, and that the remains were only recognised by insans of shreds of clothing and his ring. For several tours yesterday there was a considerable mystery about the whole affair, and while some were proclaiming the death of the General others said he Was only wounded. To-day many persons are saying that the 2080 who lost Lis lito утан not the General at all, but simply a man dressed in the Cheung Avian's offelal robes and that the Teal General is still on board the steamer that brought him from Hongkong. There is not `likely to be any truth in this, however, as this morning's native papers are unanimous in de claring that the unfortunate official was blown to atoms. It is not known with any degree of certainty how many men were implicated in this onirage, but no arrests have been mado. The affair has caused the wildest excitement in the city and the bulk of the people sto manifesting an unholy joy that the unlucky Manohu has met his fate. For several hours yesterday the telephone orchange was closed and no ferry boats" were allowed to run between the Southern Sub- burbs and Honam, and the city gates were closed for some time. The Admiralty was strongly | guarded, and it was impossible to get beyond a certain distance along the Bund. Many of the large shops in Sheung Moon Tai closed for Luzinors, and many persons laid in large stocks of rice and salt flab in anticipation of great trouble breaking out. While writing the above I have eceu a man who has just come in froin the scene of the outrage and who states that one of the assassins has been caught and is chained up outside the Admiralty bleeding to death from a gaping wound in his leg. All is quiet in the city to-day, but there is an undercurrent of ag vest, and everyone thinks there will be a grout outbreak in the course of the next few days, most probably on Monday next (9th moon 9th day),
During the last day or two there has been some revival of the queue-outting craze, and it is anil that the revolutionists have issued notices calling on all sympathisors to divest themselves of the "tail" he soon as possible. It is rather a dangerous experiment just now, how. -ever, so the number thus openly expressing their political tendencies is not particularly large.
