Messrs. John Little- and Com pany's strong roam in Singapore was broken open on November 11 and one of the safes inside rifled. The burglary is believed to be the work of a gang of experts, for the entire carrying out of the scheme was done with marked dexterity. | The lock of the strong room was opened without being broken, and the top sheeting of the safe com- plately lifted off. Fortunately, the robbers attacked a safe which had only a comparatively small sum of money inside. Between $600 and $700 is missing, but the safe stand- ing alongside the one which was broken open contained much larger| sums of money.
