SIR,-Dousekeeping in Hongkong is daily getting irksome and almost impossible. In these days of exorbitant sent and dear fond- stuff, the cheek, the impertinence, insolence and disobedience of our cooks, house boys and cooties are a very sore trial to one's temper and patience. Of course, there is the usual re- course to the Police Court provided one is
disposed at great personal discomfort and loss of time to drag the man before a Magis- trate. And in the event of a conviction of a month or two what deterrent effect has the sentence on such a character? There is a witty saying amongst the gentry which translated into English, means "going to gaol is like sitting in a flower garden." The fact is Eng. sweepings of Kwangtung and the mainland. lish law is too lenient for these scums and

Of course this expenditure was not repaid, and may perhaps have been objected to by the Egyptian Government. However, Mestapha was a man of resource, and he found a way to get rid of his criminals without pay. ing their passage. He would arrange with one of the half-decked two-masted fruit ships that frequented the port to carry a certain number of men across the water and to take them on board at night. A boat-load of the prisoners heavily chained would leave the quay at the appointed time generally after midnight, and as the load was always exces Sive, the boat was always swamped; the crew escaped by swimming and the man in chains were drowned. The captain of the ship wait- ing out in the harbour would learn next day of the accident" and would depart with ballast. The Consuls concerned were glad to be rid of troublesome and danger ous subjects. So, Mustapha Capitan was a terror to evil doers, and he had the best of all reason for wearing a mail shirt, for his life was frequently attempted. He was reported to be able to go almost without sleep, his favourite mude of rest being to st in any corner of a caracol (police office) and close bi,

(Maniín Cablenews.) Rioting at Belgrade.
New York, June 13th. Civil War has spread like wild fire through out Servia. The partisans of the late monarch and those of the usurper Karageorgevitch are arming with all possible haste and the land is threatened with a blondy civil strife. The bit. terest feeling prevail- between the parties. All the slumbering hatred of sects and races has been killed into flame by the unparalleled borrar of the assassination of the royal family, At the capital, the revolutionary element is in control headed by the 'usurper. Lawlessness prevails and the wildest scenes are enacted by the distracted populace.
The bodies of the king and queen have been buried in a pit dishonoured by the irresponsible mobs of revolutionists which throng the city, The pit was not covered for several hours after the bodies were thrown into it.
Throughout the country civil feud has as- sumed its gravest form Neighbour is pitted against neighbour in many sections while the preparatious for organized warfare goes on among the politicians. Not since the days of the French Revolution has a reigning house suffered such a complete and cold-blooded annibitation.

At the inquest held on the body of the late Mr. R. M. Campbell, who shot himself at Shanghai on Wednesday the following letter, found on the deceased, was read:"Get Dr. McLeod if you can at once. Tell him to go to my house. If you telephone to my house, No, 291, only say I have met with an accident;

The Shanghai Press of the 18th inst. says The report was current during yesterday anti last night that Mr. Campbell's rash act was the result of speculation in the share market the past two months, when it is said, he lost a half million of dollars. These rumours, however, are discredited by many for the reason that Mr. Campbell was a most substantial business man, not given to wild speculation or get-rich-quick schemes. He has been identified with the

SUCCESSFUL PLAGUE PREFEN- TION WORK IN FORMOSA,
In view of the recent report to the Hongkong Sanitary Beard it is interesting to read the following in the Kobe Herald :--
The total number of bubonic plague cases in Formosa from the date of the first outbreak this year to the end of last month is 604,- of which 544 cases proved fatal. The figures reveal a decrease of about 30 per cent. com. pared to the corresponding period of last year. ne jemarkable feature this year is that Tai Dan district, which was known as a centre of the epidemic last year, has not had a single case. There may be various reasons for this but the principal one is believed to be that vigorous measures were taken to exterminate
Tats.
As the drains have been improved and other sanitary measures taken it is evident that the authorities have done everything they could to stamp out the disease. It should be noted to that the rainfall this year was less than last year's. The Formosan authorities are determined to enforce the most stringent preventive measures, in accordance with the advice of Dr. Takagi, Chief of the Taipehi Hospital. They hope to stamp out the epidemic completely in the course of five or six years. SPANISH WARSHIP « VELASCO"
