A despatch from Lord Kitchener on the operations of September last, shows that the block-house system has been largely extend- ed, thereby enabling columns to operate. each in its own sphere. It'attributes the in- vasion of Natal to the necessity of the Boer leaders to tide over the 16th September, the date of expiry of the British proclamation, to prevent a general surrender..

A DECREE has been issued to the effect that
their Majesties will leave Kaifengfu for Peking on the 14th December. A second Decrea instracts the Grand Council to the effect that officials who came from the Provinces to welcome the Court on the occasion of its return to Peking, need not accompany the Imperial cortège on its journey to the capital, but are to return to their posts with all despatch. It is further decreed that all the Metropolitan officials belonging to the Six Boards and other yaména, especially those who are jordered to escort the Imperial cortège, shall not leave Imperial travellers have taken their departure Kaifeng until seven or eight hours after the

SHORT OF MONEY: According to a des patch from Peking, the Government Excheques is so depleted that the Board of Revenue, is completely at its wits' end to find money to pay the salaries of the troops at Feking for the ioth moon (ie. last month) Although some time previous to the latel Viceroy, Li Bung- chang's death that old statesman obtained a loan of Tis, 200,000 from the Hongkong and from other sources, all this money has been Shanghai Bank and raised some Tis, 80,000 expended in repairing the Imperial Palaces, elc, etc., and ant a single cash is now left in. the Treasury. The Board of Revenue, there fore finds itself greatly embarrassed, not know." ing how to get out of the difficulty, especially as the river will soon freere, and yet the ordinary contributions from the various provinces have not arrived.
THE RUMOUR IS REPEATED that China,
selling to Russia the squadron of ships ordered by her in France. There are ten vessels, namely, two cruisers of 4,300 toga and 24 knots speed; three cruisers of 2,910 taris and 19) knots; one cruiser of 2,100 tons and 15 and gun-boat of 700 tons and ra knots; one knots; one cruiser of 1,250 tons and to knots) gun-boat of 587 tone and to knots, and one trans port of 1,288 tons. These would be a formid- able addition to any navy. The story is that on the occasion of M. Romanoffs recent visit to Governor of that place to complete the Vladivostock, he was strongly urged by the purchase, and he consented to use his influence on his return to St. Petersburg. The cost of the ships would be; deducted from the amount of the Chinese Indemnity; or rather indemnity bonds would be handed over to the syndiente that undertook the building of the vessels and has not yet been paid for them.A
