THE RIOTS IN FOHKIEN.. The latest news we have from Tek-hua is that the General commanding the Imperial forces has issued a proclamation, vegfog, the people to go on with their business as usual, a1 must not be alarmed at the continued presence of his troops; that they are only being kept there, pending the capture of the rebel chief; further, that If any of the soldiery should cause the slightest trouble, he requests that he may be at once informed of it, and be will tike care that the offenders are severely punished. The publication of such a proclamation would fedicate that the General considers the troubles at an end, and, no doubt, virtually, they are so, but it is evident that the people are not of the same opinion, as they decline, as yet, to open their shops, and those who fled have not yet returned.

THE LOSS OF THE "ICHANG."
MARINE COUT OF INQUIRY.
The following is the finding of the Court of Inquiry held at Shangbal, delivered on November 26th :-
The hang was a stram vessel of 1983 tons registered tonnage, official number 68 475, built at Glasgow in 1873 and belonging to the port of London. It appears from the evidence given before the Court, that she called from Shanghal on or about the 7th November, 1891, bound for Ningpo with general cargo and a crew of 45 Bands, all told, as well as 243 passengers, Nothing of importance bappened during the voyage to the time of the ship striking on the rocks, as it was a run upon which the ship was constantly employed. The Ichang was lost on the "Nemesls" rock at the entrance to the Ningpo river, owing to a wrong course having been steered by John Cruikshank Foster, master of the skip. The Court, having regard to the
circumstances above stated, finds as follows →→→

The report adds, however, that the Viceroy objects to this bom. bardment, on the ground that the innocent would suffer with the guilty, and recommends that the town should be surrounded until a sorrender is made, which he expects would take place within
a month.
From an official report, we learn that the loss, to the Imperial troops in the late engagement was only roo men killed, while over 300 of the rebels fell dead on the feld, or were mortally wounded. The G-aral commanding the Imperial troops is a Hannan man, and this, together with an absence of any further word of the Kolao Hul being implicated in these troubles, may be taken at an assurance that the late current rumours to this effect were altogether without foundation.
