It may be well to warn our readers that will rumours se to disturbances in Canton are being circulated in this Colony, in some cases idly and in othare deliber- ately. Risings on Honam island, and the flight (and even the kidnapping) of Lang Chai-kwong are being freely related by and among the Chinese; and, needless to BBY, there is no word of truth in such stories. Up till last night everything was quiet and normal in the city.
