MORE WAR.

LATEST EAST RIVER FIGHTING.

TWO WARSHIPS HERE.

Two Chinese men-of-war be! longing to the Peking Govern-) ment arrived here this morning as visitors to the port. They are the "Hai Chow" and the "Ying Chi" and are described by the Chinese as of the Northern Cruiser

Squadron.

Recently the Northern Cruiser Squadron had been mostly at Amoy until it was reported that four ships were belag sent to Swatow to aid General Chan Kwing-ming's cause. The "Hai Chow" and "Ying Chi" came here from Swatow.

A reliable report from Canton is that fighting has been renewed on the East River. It was last re- ported that Chan's armies were pushing forward. Meanwhile Canton has sent forces out and the rival factions have been in

KOWLOON COURT.

THIS MORNING'S. LIST.

Governor to refer in his address to the military contribution is not likely to be raised officially, the "China Mai" understands. This contribution, based on 20 per cent. of the revenue after certain expenditure on loans, Kowloon railway, etc., have been deducted, is provided for by un ugree- ment with the Home Gov- ernment incorporated in Hong-¡ kong Ordinances in 1901. A strong effort to make this contri- bution a fixed amount ($1,000,000 was suggested) was made twelve years ago and as all possible re- presenturions on behalf of Hong- kong were made on that occasion without avail it is not considered likely that further representations will meet with greater success,

That the feeling among business men is all against the payment of such a huge sum from the revenue was gathered by the "China Mail" representative as a result of an
