A CHINESE LAMENT
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE KONGKONG DAILY PESS8.]
The Chief Commander of the Lot Squadron has requested the Tuchun to grant an increase of 1 or 2 per cent, in the wages for the sailors of the 1st Squadron. He points out that the Peking Government has greatly increased the payments to the Northern squadrons, so it is advisable to give an increase to those who are serving the South-West provinces. The Commander adds that it would be very dungerous if the sailors were exposed to the risk of bribery through nct being well paid.
GENERAL LUNG!
We are informed that General Lung Chai-kwong left Peking on the loth inst, He is returning to King-chow, and will carry out another ruid on Kwangtang province.
