Canton, To-day. As a result of Anglo-Japanesc disagreement regarding shipping on the Pearl River the Shipoke Maru, chartered by the Japanese Government and due in Hong Kong this morning, has been diverted to Macao.

It is learned from a well-in- formed source that one of the rea- sons for the disagreement was that the Japanese intended a bi-week- ly passenger service between Can- ton and Hong Kong, whereas the British were allowed only a fort- nightly service.

Meanwhile the Portuguese steam- er Singcheong, which arrived yes- terday from Macao, making the- first voyage since the Japanese oc- cupation, is to be allowed weekly sailings.-Reuter,
