Government has again found it necessary to send large reinforcements from the North in addition to those from local provinces. It will be remembered that 3,000 men sailed Tast month from Anhui for Canton, and now it has been found necessary to despatch a number of troops in the Chinese cruisers Nan sheng and Nanshut, which are sisterships, and which left Shanghai a few days ago. H.E. Wang Chih-ch'un, the new Governor of Kwang-si, who has recently been employed procuring arms and seeing to the manufacture of uniforms for the newly raised brigade is also proceeding in the Nausheng. She is a fine cruiser and arrived in Hongkong between six and seven o'clock last evening. At daylight she pro ceeded to Canton in command of Commodore Chew. The Nanshut, Captain Wub, also passed through the harbour between eight and nine o'clock this morning. News from the North states that the combined forces on
board these two cruisers, number over 1,000 men, but local inquiries cleted the in- formation that each ship had only 400 aboard. The new Governor will soon have a good abilities. The opportunity of proving his following concerning him is a clipping from the N. C. D. Nerus :-
It is stated in local mandarin circles that while in Peking lately, H. E. Wang Chih-ch'un became quite friendly with the French in the capital. H.E.'s well-known frendliness towards the Russians made it an easy matter for him to fall in line with his Gallic friends, who are to be his neighbours in the south for some time to come, and it might have been due to policy to The German gunboat Panther has left for conciliate, if he could, his powerful neighbours Hayti,

MANILA, August 14th. The cholera situation, liere is becoming daily inore critical. More than 100 new cases have been reported to-day, exceeding by 25 per cent, the number of any previous day since epidemic was declared. · Official "atiempts to check the disease have resulted in almost ab solute failure. After an expenditure of more than $300,000 gold for the suppression of the discase, the Health authorities have laid off the quarantine guard, which bad checked promiscuous entry into the city, and now practically nothing stasids in the way of whole- sale immigration from the provinces. „Ac- cording to one of the health experts, native disregard of sanitary regulations and strictions, coupled with the shortage of funds for a fight against the disease, have been discouraging factors throughout. He says that it would be useless to fight ignorance and prejudice, even were abundant money forthcoming for that purpose and that now it is quite impossible to enforce health regulations. This depressing view
seems to be shared also by the Health Depart ment, although formal confession to that effect will of course not be made. Everyone regards the situation as grave, and the entire non-native population is alarmed as to what the near future may yield. Medical men say that the rainy season, now fairly set in, furnishes the main hops for the check of the disease.

Regarding the rebellion a recent report was to the effect that the movement in Kwang-si pro- vince is spreading. Heilung, a place near the border of Kusichew province, is one rebel head- quarter and Hsilin, not far from the border of Yunnan, is another. The rinters bide their time, and descend upon and menace several public offices. It has been clearly shown that it is not advisable to employ the Kwang-si troops alone in the work of pacification, because
these troops could easily be bought over to the rebel ranks.

Our objective was
more especially the Temporary Palace which was erected before the coup d'etat of 1898 when it was hoped and and which is now expected that the Emperor would visit Tientsin, to be Yuan Shi Kai's private and official residence. The Imperial guest house is a fair sized residence built by an English architect and engineer, our Muncipal Council Secretary, Mr. Bellingham, in somewhat Moorish style, but coolly luxurious to the bot weather visitor. From the spacious verandah surrounding the upper story on all sides, I noted an excellent view was obtainable of the foreign settlements and all our most prominent buildings, the flagstaffs on the towers of the Gordon Hall and Astor House Hotel being distinctly visible even to the naked eye. must have been partly from that very verandah that the excellent range of some of their largest guns was obtained by the Chinese in 1900; for immediately to the rear of the palace a mud fort existed at that time in which several "long toms were located. This was the fort that puzzled our gunners, as the Chinese used smokelass powder and it was impossible to locate the spot. That we did mod locate it even approximately is proven by the undamaged condition of the Palace so close at hand, the place having escaped both shell and fire apparently. It is now in the work- men's hands and being altered to suit Yuan's requirements, and the signs of foreign wear and lear removed for the Yamen and Palace were occupied, be it remembered, by the Russians when the city was first laken, and considering the fate which usually attends a building after Russian occupation, the place may, be considered in very creditable condition. Native artists yesterday were busy reproducing the huge inhuman figures in every gandy hue which always adurn official doors; replacing windows, renewing partitions, and daubing the sauceous red-brown Ningpo varnish over the
dingy ward-work, and it appeared exceedingly doubtful if everything would be finished in time, seeing that Yuan is due here in a week's time. He cannot complain of his quarters

One of the passengers, on behalf of the Britons, thanked the Captain for his great courtesy and kindness, both in what he had said and all he had done; and also the other passengers for the way in which they bud honoured the toast, remarking that all would remember this occasion with the happiest re- collections and asked all present to drink the health of Capt Luneschloss and his Officers, and wish the N.
