Singapore, May 21.

About a year ago an advertise- ment was issued by the Naval Authorities for the names of those who would be prepared to join an R.N.V.R. detachment in Malaya and we believe that the number of names returned and the scheme as a whole was favourably consider- ed by the Colonial Government who will have to provide some of the money required for running and financing the scheme, says the

The First News,

Some time passed and nothing was heard, and we were able to Bay then that the matter was not forgotten but was receiving the careful attention of the authorities

concerned. More time has passed and still there is no news of whe- ther the scheme is likely to mature this year, next year, now or never.

New York, May 20. Distress signals are reported from the new 22,000 ton steamer "Malolo," after 'a collision with another steamer off Nantucket Lightship, 190 miles from New Again we are able to say that York, in the course of a trial the scheme will be put into opera- run: 310 persons are aboard-tion at some future date, but the Reuter's American Service.

COOK FINED FOR OPIUM.

A cook employed on board the s.s, "Sui Tai" was this morning fined $350 or, in default, three months' jail by Mr. R. E. Lindsell for the unlawful possession of three taels of prepared non-Government opium which was found on him when he landed at Wing Lok Wharf.

According to the report, a large body of pirates could be seen retreating along the hills on both sides of the river banks.

ILLEGAL LIGHTS.

For using bright lights (to at- tract fish) off Channel Rocks, three masters of fishing junks were fined at the Marine. Court this morning. two of them $5 and one, who had been convicted before on a similar offence, $10,

troubles in China have probably given the Admiralty so much to think about that the last thing they will be able to consider will be the formation of a local naval unit.
