THE KIVANGSI GOVERNOR'S
LATEST
One of the diversions of the Governor of Kwangsi, who, notwithstanding the famine- stricken condition of the people in the pro- vince, appears to enjoy unbounded leisure, is to evolve some new indiciment against the French Govemment and to represent them to the Imperial authorities as being engaged in some fateful machinations which have for their poject the subjection of Chin ese influence, and prestige on the frontier, Time and again the reports which he has telegraphed have been flaily contradicted LÀ. S. WATSON & CO. LIMITED, and proved to be assolute fabrications, but the Governor has been in no way disconcerted. « Rather he has set himself to discover fresh evidence of French intrigue, and the fertility of his imagina- tion is apparently as flourishing as ever.
