In order to make no mistakes it is probably better to remark that on the following day of the contest a number of gentlemen called on Brown to arrange a contest between -Mr. Waters and himself "Brown, accepted the challenge with thanks and everything seemed satisfactory; but what was our surprise on the following day to see Mr. Harland, the manager of the Circus, come to the ship and Inform us that Mr. Waters refused to go on with the content, for some reason or other...

US S. Lancaster, Hongkong, 23rd March; 1802. In accordance with our established custom of giving every man man a fair hearing, we have allowed Mr. Mack of the U. 3. 3. Lancaster, full license in our columns, eres although some of his comments and assertions are in direct contradiction, to what we happen to know to be true. The references to what was published in this journal regarding the impromptu par between Robert Lee, of Woodyear's Circas, and Brown, of the U.S.S. Lancaster, are not in good taste, nor were
they called for by anything that appeared in the Telegraph. Brown is a powerfully-bullt young fellow, who has evidently had amo considerable experience in boxing contears, and we are surpriard to learn (on Mr. Mack's authority, which we beg leave to doubt as strictly reliable) that he only scales 145 lbs; hut if this is correct we can only say that Mr. Jim Brown very much belles bie appearance. Robert Les is a slim lad, weighing we should think, about 8 st., and he never engaged in a boring contest in his life until the other day. However, public in all that is neither here nor there, and we now bring Mr. Mack of the USS. Lancaster to hard-and-fast huines with a round turn. Billy Waters will box Jim Brown to a finish for the $900 Mr. Mack as he is willing to put up, and if Mr. Mack will call at this office any- time to-morrow and plant he 'spondulicks,' they will at once be covered and satisfactory Arrangements made for an amicable settlement of a little diffic frthat e-n only be settled in the roped arena —F8..

Amid many reports, the following is gleaned frem apparently reliable sources:-Doubt is cant upon the reports that invariably give victory to the Imperialists, for it is said, the rebels are de termined men who have a cause, who are well prepared and not unwilling to fight. Their plan has been to impress all the able-bodied man of villages they passed, In' battle, these were placed in front with the old jingala. They had' no experience in firing, and always overshot the mark if near enough for their guas to take any effect. They were amply mon down by the repeating rifles of the Imperial troops, while the real rebels improved the opportunity for better work with the Imperialists if possible, or made their escape.

As the returning troops passed along the way back to Tientsis, it was noticed that not a few of them were loaded with booty" in the shape their outer blouses, and their arms covered with of several women's sille garments put on under RO valuable bracelets. Boys and girls of 10 to 14 years of age, whose parents had been killed, were also among the "bonty." At one city, a Belly officer, wearing a number of
these gar ments, exchanged some of his silver for "cash" to bring on his chlidren. Among the terrible -tales-of-wanton-cruelty, which there is good reason to believe are true, one may be given K an illustration of the seal of the Imperial soldiers to rid the country of "rebels." It was the case of an old man and three women in one family. Probably the other male members of the family had been impressed by the rebels. Knowing the saleters were about, the old man managed to hide himself la a ple of wood in back yard. The soldiers entered the house and lalled the women in cold blood. Later the man went to the milliary officer in charge, sucking some redress. The officer said that he could take on police of such storles, the men must be seized in the act and brought before him if they expected anything to be done. Apparently the soldiers had complete licence, and the officers could do nothing or would do nothing, a the case may be-la the way of controlling them. This is much as it was more than 20 years ago when the "mounted robbery over rau nor bern Shantung and southern Chibii. Gentlemen travelling over that country shortly after the Imperial troops had passed in the wake of the banditt, found the uniform testimony of the villagers to be, that the troops were much more cruel and wanton than the robbers." "The "robbers," they sald, look what they wanted and went their way; the troops took what they wanted, and then destroyed all they could, even to taming over the kettles in which they had fast cooked the food they had seized, and knock- ing holes in the bottom, thus leaving the people oftes in the most destitute condition. This appears to be a part of the programms of military expeditions in China in these enlightened days.
