THE "ANNA" AFFAIR.

We give below another despatch sent by the Taoutai in charge of the Foouhow Superintendency of Trade to Dr. Krauel, the Consul for Germany in Fokian :—

Taoutai Sz, the President of the Board of Trade, Foochow, sends this communica tion,

In an interview with the Consul, your good self, you have verbally requested me to state la writing the different steps taken in the settlement of this one, and 1 beg

berewith to send the same to you.

1. The principal offender. Yeung Sai Ssi, whose guilt is clearly proved by the evid- ence adduced against him, is to be memo- rialised for immediate decapitation, and his head will, in addition, be exposed for public exhibition. According to his own state- ment, he admitted that he was a seamen by profession, that owing to his inability to get security, he remained unemployed in Amoy. That about the 8th moon, Inat year, the Captain of the Anna who had originally six of a crow but had discharged them for some cause or other, engaged him though he had given no security, because his wages were small. He was made the boatswain, and there were altogether six of them. Then, while on the voyage, Yung Ching Mosy and the others were severely beaten by the Europeans on board, more severely than they could bear. That seaman named Chun a Pak and others killed the foreigners, while he only assisted in throwing the bodies into the roa As to the sugar and other cargo, the removal was not completed, when the vessel was drifted A to the murder of the Chief officer, it was by the great wind on to a rook and sunk, all designed by himself. As to the removal of the baskets of sugar, he stoutly denied any connection with the circumstances thereof, Against this denial, however, there was the evidence of the Shi Tak Moo and Shi Tai Cheuk, who proved that the prisoner him self had personally come to their huts to store the sugar. Then Yeung Hi Süa and Ving Jhing Mui had both pointed out that Young Sai Sai had been beaten by the foreigners, and that he then designed to kill them in order to give vent to his anger. He had, also, promised personally the sum of one hundred dollars to any of the crew who would first attack the foreigners.
