The loss of lives at Wanhsien, there- fore, can scarcely be laid at the door of our Naval policy in China. At the ane time any cables from this end calculated
to awaken the authorities at Home to a keener sense of the danger of the present situation serve a useful purpose. More should have been sent long since. Hong kong did its best at the commencement of the boycott but a certain amount of ridicule was poured upon it as a con- sequence. We were accused of thinking THE protest by the French Consul against too much of our own selfish interests and the illegal occupation of the property of if we remember rightly some of the the Banque de l'Indo-Chine in Canton Shanghai merchants, who thought their rases a difficult question for Mr. Eva troubles were over, kindly asked us "not CHEN to answer.

The Government at cjected the tenants of the" property over Home have never thoroughly realised the fourteen months ago since when the danger which these disturbances in China Bank has received no rent.

It would be farcical to this end the cable of the Hongkong talk about instituting legal proceedings Branch of the Navy League is a move, against the pickets.

It is curious that when referring to the British Navy's action regarding the Steamboat Company's Wharf, Mr. CHEN, who is himself a lawyer, should have so care fully refrained from touching at all upon the legality or illegality of the pickets in seizing the wharf in the first place. He can scarcely avoid discussing this aspect of the matter in answering the

THE SAI KUNG PIRACY.
FIVE MEN CAPTURED ON GRASS
ISLAND
ONE MAN WOUNDED.
The ire men, who were concerned in
the attack on the Sai Kung ferry launch on Sunday afternoon, are now in custody. One of the men is in hospital, suffering from a bullet wound in the shoulder.
Three of them were captured in the
Graas Island, some twenty miles away early hours of yesterday morning on from High Island where the robbers were
seen to land after the attack. Since the incident the police were on their track, and their vigilance has been rewarded. The fourth man was captured yesterday afternoon and the fifth in the evening.
Moreover, the police are sanguine that they will recover the stolen Winchester
rides.
The robbers must have tramped across some twenty miles of rough country to reach. Grass Island, presumably complet- ing the last stage by boat. Grass Island has only a handful of inhabitants.
One of the Indian guards, who was
stated to, be in a critical condition on Monday, was slightly better yesterday.
The prisoners will be paraded for identification today.
