THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1896.
| Chamber, thatit is confined to local telegrama only, that ir, between stations in Chion or between Chins and Hongkong, and does not | apply to International correspondence,
It is open to Chlaese to use főrelen langusgos and codes, to which case their telegrams are charged at fall rater, but, us is well known, the only way in which a telegram can be transmitted in Chinese is by the cumbrous but the only passible system of numbering the characters, These are limilled to ten thousand for the purpors of telegraphy, which practically means that the balk of such telegrams are in plain language A sufficiently heavy perally,
For this rencontre Chinaia Telegraph Admini stratton, when it commenced operations in 1883, admitted and still admits over all its fines local Chinese correspondence at half rates, provided The telegram is complied from the list of Wir sind verloren, characters publlabed by the Administration for the purpose. The Cable Companies therefore, unless they desire to debar themselves from carrying this traffic, have been obliged to adopt the same system on their cables for such local native correspondence.

Under the circumstances the agents of the Cubans do not have much difficulty in carrying out the plan of causing popular outbreaks. They steadily fan the flame of discontent by pointing to the apparently unnecessary burdihips which the Spanish cops in Cuba are compelled to endure. The Republicans, also, taking advant age of the situatloo, pash their propaganda and the combined movements are making more head- way with the masses than the Government will admit, although they already are betraying symptoms of alarm sed stringent instructions have been given the Prefects to promptly and effectually suppress any demonstrations which may occur in their districts and to have no hesitation in calling upon military support!
