THE Indo-China Steam Navigation Co. seem to be going ahead in the ship-building line notwithstanding the fact that their shares are quoted locally at 30 per cent. discount. The Company has recently ordered two new steamers from the London and Glasgow Shipbuilding and Engineering Co., Ltd., of Govar, which are reported be spar-decked ships 250 ft. long and 36 ft. beam, eflight draught, suitable for trading In the China seas. The directors of the Indo- China Steam Navigation Company recommend a dividend at the rate of a per cent, to be paid

TAE Straits Times of the 13th inst, says :--We understand that a warrant bas been, or is likely to be, issued for the arrest of Mr. Edwin Kock, (renior), a soliciter of the Supreme Court of Singapore,
who has been absent from Singapore some time. It appears to be assumed that Mr. Keek is in Dutch territory and, if so, Jt be doubted whether the warrant is of much avall. Mr. Kock is alleged to be a Dutch subject, and although during his residence in Slugapore it has been assumed that he had become an
English subject, yet that may not be the case. If he is a Dutch subject he cannot be extradited, nor may it be practicable to attempt to prosecute him before the Dutch courts for the offences which are alleged against him, and which, if committed, were committed in English territory. The matter in fact may possibly offer some nice points of international law. WHEN the news of the destruction by torpedoes of the Chan cruiser Blanco Encalada first came to bond, considerable curiosity was aroused and speculation Indulged in as to the precise circumstances attending such a notable naval says a recent home paper, that the vessel was lying at anchor in a partially dis- abled condition, some parts of her machinery having been taken ashore for repairs.

It would thus seem that the whole affair consisted in taking "cock shots" at a helpless craft unill her destruction was finally accomplished somehow or other.

THE BANK TROUBLES IN MANILA.
To Erren of the "Hondrous TalaOBÁTY," "
SIR-Having read the lengthy article pub lished in your issue of 29th May, under the title of "The Bank Scare in Manila" and in which reference is made to the pedding low-sult here between the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank and Messrs. Jurado & Co. relative to the sentence of one of the law courts of Manila condemning the said Back to pay the sum of $932,000, ambact of damages claimed by above firm.
In the above article there are many erroneous assertions and misstatements respecting matters which are said to have taken place and which might mislead many persons residing in this colony to judge unfavorably of the conduct of the Spanish Authorities as well as that of the Agent and staff of the said Bank.
The true state of matters as regard the law suit pending and that of the embargo as decreed against the Bank arc, shortly as icllows :---
Firstly-On the gth of December, 1834, the Bank begged for powers from the law court to commence action or, as is understood in Spanish, jurisdiction-voluntaria, that is to say in which there was no divergence of opinion, between themselves and Messrs. Jurado & Co., and which only required the attendance of the Judge to give greater force to the proceeding, and that all goods and merchandise belonging to Jurado & Co. should be delivered over to the sald Bank as guarantee of payment of various bills of exchange, the total of which they required immediate. payment and alleging that they desired to cease doing business with the said firm and asking in case of Jurado & Co. object Ing to deliver goods to the value of the unpaid bills of exchange, that forcible entrance be made by the native police and that all existing goods stored in their godowns be taken possession of
Secondly:-This firm protested through a notary and likewise before the Judge, that the ald bills had in a measure been taken up, having been placed to their current account with the Bark and inasmuch as said drafts might be considered taken up and consequently the goods referring to the said bills were their own property, but were willing that such might be considered as guarantee against the account current, but which could not be seized in the maaner which the (Agent) Bank desired to do, until the said account was balanced, which balance had already been agreed on between Jurado & Co. and the Bank to take place on the and of June of 1886, according to a legal docu- ment made the 2nd June, 1883.
Thirdly --Mesara, Jurado & Co's petition to the Judge was not allowed, and they were despoiled of all their effects, because, at that time, the Hongkong Bank had the car of this Judge, whom Jurado & Co. accused of prevarica tion, and the President of the Court (Audiencia of Manifs) for this act of interference was removed by the Goverment of Madrid.
Fourbly:-Fresh appeals by Jurado & Co. after that Judge's removal resulted in the whole matter being annulled as regards that sentence, and the Bank was ordered to return the good seized to furado & Co, and condemned in costs, Fifthly-This sentence was again approved of by the bighest law court in Manila and likewise in Madrid, and in the month of January last Messrs. Jurado & Co. begged that the sentence should be fulfilled.
From this moment the Bank's lawyers have taken every measure to prevent name, raising all manner of side questions and hoping by these means to gain time and at the same time to gain their living.
$293,000 was found in the treasury at the moment, and it being near dark the money could not be taken away, but remained under seal of the Law Court, and since that time the Bank has not opened its doors and consequently through the advice of the Bank's lawyer the Agent has not delivered the keys, nor presented himself in Court as he was called to do, giving rise to the scandal that the sald Bank has sus pended payment, which is not the care, because a private arrangement has been made with the Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China, that their cheques should be honored.
According to Spanish law the Bank by its own action is considered Insolvent and to this end Messrs. Jurado Co. have asked that the law step is and declare them bankrupt, which question is now before the Court,
It may be naked, Mr. Editor, what blame can be attached to the Spanish Judges and law authorities of Manila, considering that the Bank itself leaves unperformed what the law demands and requires, and placing unlimited confidence in all and every advice that an obscure lawyer may be pleased to give.
possibilities for a clever man are very great, and money is to be made in more ways than one. Even all these, however, will fall sometimes, and this is what happened in the month of May," 1889, to General Tcheng-ki-Torg.

This was ingenious enough to deceive even the very elect. becausethe Comptoir was well known to have had business relations, with China, where it had several branches; but in truth the Legation did not keep its current account there at all. The director was, of course, only too pleased to oblige the distinguished diplomatist, and the usual form of application having been written, $0,000f, was placed to the credit of Tcheng-ki- Tong.

hot been said that Tcheng had been authorised to negotiate a loan. A few months ago the Chinese authorities undoubtedly in structed bim to obtain a loan of thirty million tacis, or about seven millions sterling, in Europe. Had the Chinese Government really required- such a loan, and placed the negotiations in the hands of any of the great financial agencies, they could readily have obtained all they wanted on reasonable terms." Tcheng's amateur efforts resulted, as any one with judgment might have foreseen, in failure, and the terms which he obtained were rejected by his Government. But this fiasco has had nothing to do with his recall, which is wholly due to other unauthorised financial operations, one of which is above described. The Chinese Government have been peculiarly unfortunate of late la their projected loans, but it is be leared they are not yet cured of their love Car Irregular financial procedure. The spectacle of the Government of a great and wealthy Empire, with excellent credit, coming to Europe for a loan, not through the regular and usual agencies employed by every Government under like circumstances, but employing dishonest subordinate officials who are invariably thrown into the arms of financiers of shady reputation, would excite sympathy if it were not so absurd. Who the negotiater of the loan with Teheng-ki-Tong may have been does not matter; he is not known in those finan clal circles where one would expect to hear of the Sole Agents for Louls Audemars' Watches: Offices and Dwelling. lender of seven millions sterling. This is a sum which requires strong shoulders to carry. In all probability the European who attempted to enter into a contract with. Tcheng for the purpose, would have, treated the matter as a concession to be subsequently sold to some one else who might be able to lend the money. Successful or unsuccessful, the whole scheme was one which is injurious to the Chinese good name, and discreditable to the judgment, experience, and prudence of those high authorities in China who were responsible for it.

JEYE'S SANITARY COMPOUNDS

For several wosks past the Paris papers have teemed with hints and paragraphs relating to what is called the mysterious disappearance" of General Teheng-ki-tong, the First Secretary of the Chinese Legation there. This gentleman has impressed the lively Parisian fancy, as well he might, and now he is paying the penalty of the distinctlon, About two months ago the spoilt child suddenly disappeared from all his old haunts. It was rumoured that he was going back to Chinn in connection with some vast financial schemes, that he desired to have his daughters educated in his native laud, that his Government wanted to confer with him personally and bestow some signal mark of favour on him, and so on. It is not surprising that his disappearance caused much gossip and many rumours He filled a considerable space in the eyes of the Parisian public, and the papers wanted to know where their favourite had gone. Then unpleasant suggestions respecting pecuniary transactions were made; gradually tbese attained form, consistency, and definiteness, The real facts of General Tcheng-kl-Tong's temporary disappearance and of his anexpected return to China are curious and instructive. That he is under a cloud of some sort, which to a certain extent eclipses the galety of the Parisians, appears to be very generally known i but the nature of the cloud, its origin, and growth are either misrepresented or misunder stood. It is true he was authorised to negotiate a loan, and did not succeed; the mischief, however, is that he did succeed in negotiating another loan in the name of bis Government without authority, and then put the proceeds The conduct of the Chinese Government In in his own pocket.
