HONGKONG STRIKE SITUATION.

ONLY A FEW MINOR DEVELOPMENTS.

POLICE - REFORCING THEIR POWERA OF DEPORTATION;

There were only minor developments in the strike situation rester. day. A few more men went out hore and there but they did not materially affect the position. The general strike; as announced in our last issue; is a full swing and any change now must almost necessarily be a change for the better*

In the meantime it is satisfactory to note that the Police are putting into force the powers of deportation granted to them by the order of the Governor-in-Council, and it is sincerely hoped by all that the policy "of rounding up the undesirables will be pursued ruthlessly." The parade of the armed forces of the Colony last evening made a brave show, and it it is a thousand pities that demonstrations of this character were not made at the commencement of the trouble...
