Overland China Maik.

A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.

The mystery concerning the fate of the Indo-China Steamship Company's 9.3. Kwongsang, which had been overdue for some days, appears to be partially solved by the discovery of wreckage at a point 60 miles north of Foochow A report was also made that bodies of foreigners and Chinese had been seen to be washed ashore, and that fisher- men told of the wreck of a ship at Fuyan Island. The messages are, reproduced, in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

The OVERLAND CHINA MAIZ also contains a full re- port of the case in which an Annamite is fighting an order for his deportation which provides for his return to Indo China aboard a French ship. It was alleged for the defence that the Hong Kong Government official deputed to interview the man had exceeded the statutory powers allowed him to ask questions. The case is one of considerable public interest, as the deportee, alleged to be a Communist propagandist, claims that he would be killed without trial were he sent back to Indo-China.

A verdict that prisoner was insane, and unfit to plead in answer to a charge of murder,, was returned by the jury in the case in which an inmate of the Medical Hospital was indicted for the death of another patient. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL gives a full report of the hearing.

The disastrous explosion at the Flora Fort in Macao, which caused a number of deaths and widespread damage, is also recorded In the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

Also reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL is an audacious escape from Victoria Jail by two long-term prisoners, who scaled the wall, and got away. One of the pair was involved in a break, from the jail about one year ago, but was then recaptured.

*

A protracted litigation in connection with the assels in Hong Kong of the Russo-Asiatic Bank reached a fur- ther stage when an application was made to the Full Court of Appeal for an order for adjournment, in order to allow the Shanghai creditors time in which to obtain evidence to support their alleged preferential claims. Counsel for the liquidator, in the course of his address, termed the action a "subterfuge" and an "attempt to circumvent the effect of previous Court orders." The action is the ninth to be brought in the matter. A complete report appears in the OVERLAND CHINA MAITA
