A JAPANESE paper, the Fiji Shimpo says tl. in collision between the Osaka Shipping Company's steamer Mika Maru and a foreign vessel occurred Kobe from Tadotsu (Sanuki). Beth vessels crew of the foreign ship fell overboard, but were saved immediately.
THE Nagasaki Express understands that the damage sustained by the U.S.S. Juniata by the recent collision within Japanese man-of-war was nof so serious as originally reported. It is now stated that only the bowsprit and some of the headgear of the Juniata were carried away, WITH reference to a paragraph in our Saturday's issue regarding the repairs to the steamship Paris we are requested by the Secretary of the Dock Company to contradict the statement so far as it relates to that Company. Mr. Gillies says that fansmuch as the Dock Company did not tender to compound the Parig's engines, he cannot see how it is possible for the estimate that has been accepted to be $6 oop less than theirs. Nor can we very clearly see how that is possible, but nevertheless the statement appeared
in our columns on the very best authority. WVE have received a few notes re the prospects f tobacco planting in British North Bornen, by the Ocean Co.'s steamer dfemion, which may interest our readers. Our correspondent states that Mr. Van der Hoven, Inte manager of the Deli Company, has arrived at Sandakan and will commence to plant tobacco at once. Bath he and his manager are extremely well pleased with both the soil and climate of their new fick of operations, and are sanguine of most favorable results. Messrs. Moesun aisi three other Dutch planters have also arrived and are getting ready to start active work. The crops of tobacco in the fields at Maruda and other districts are e ported as being excellent both as to quality and quantity, and news of the crop sent home is highly satisfactory. The tobacco is stated to be of high value and very much sought after,
