We are informed by the naval authorities this morning that the three Chinese warships which were sighted off Waglan yester- day morning anchored at mouth of the Canton river last evening. The vessels are believed to be the Hai Chi, the Hai Shen and the Chong Ho (formerly known as the Chao Ho), who deserted from Tsingtao in the mutiny directed against Admiral Shen Hunglich of the North-Eastern Fleet, and con- currently Mayor of Tsingtao.

FAILS TO SATISFY THE GOLD BLOC
MIDNIGHT MEETING
LONDON, JULY 6.
NOTHING CAN NOW SAVE THE WORLD ECONOMIC CONFERENCE, IN THE OPINION OF THOSE CLOSEST TO THE STAGE WHERE THE FINAL DRAMA IS BEING ENACTED.
At a meeting of the gold countries held at midnight, following the receipt of a message from President Roosevelt, a resolution for the adjournment of the conference was unanimously adopted, virtually sealing its doom.
The Roosevelt statement was regarded as concilia- tory in tone, but as offering nothing to meet the views of the European gold bloc." It is, therefore, felt to be useless waste of time to pursue the economic dis- cussions.
