With reference to the piracy of the "Tai On" off Ch'i-ac, I have received the following telegram from the Governor of Kuangtung.

I sent officers to assist the police at Ch'i-ao to surround the San Pa Tzu district and they subceeded in arresting the principal culprits in the Tai On and other cases, namely Tan Niu, Yin-sha-chuan, Kuo Ch'i Li Sen, Li Yao-shan, Lu Ta-sheng, Tan Kuei-ting. Lu Li-chi, Shih Lao, Liang ilac-cheng, nine in all. Ho Su and Li Te, who have been arrested at Hongkong are now being tried by the Authorities there. Three prisoners arrested at Ch'a-shan-sha-tien are being rigorously interrogated with a view to ascertaining the truth from their depositions, when they will be punished in the various degrees called for. The long- kong Authorities assert that they are fully satisfied".

I must observe that the Tutu has exhibited the ut- most zeal in effecting arrests in this case and has spared no pains to this end. The principal culprits have now all been apprehended one after another and I have the honour to communicate to Y.E. the steps that

have been taken for your information.
