They had pre- viously only demanded a few hundred square tiles, but have now increased their le mands, by wanting the surrender of the fort in Sui Ki district, and their boundaries to extend on the north to the Wo Se hills, on the West to the Man Lin bridge, south, from the Lui Chow Road to Tong Ming Kong and an island on the east coast. There are a great number of vil ages within this area, having a total population of over to,000.

When Marshal Sn arrived, the elders of the their villages petitioned him to protect villages and threatened that sooner than let the French be their masters they would dash their own brains out. It is not yet know how the Marshat will scule the matter as China is in a very unsettled state besides especting attacks from other European powers.
