London, May 25.

1 J. Bunner, who as a pharmacist had been attached to the British Ambulance unit in Abyssinia and by mistake was detain- ed by the Italian authorities at Diredawa when on his way to Aden, was released on Saturday, In company with four doctors of the ambulance unit he arrived yesterday at Djibouti.

Bunner was arrested on May 16 when attempting to enter a boat train at Diredawa where on the previous day he had been detained to answer questions by a Customs Officer and was later informed by the Italian authorities that the Police Commandant had laid in- 1.- formation against him.

The Nanking proposals were ac- cepted in principle by the provin- cial authorities. although further discussions on concrete details are necessary." Financial authorities here are considerably upset by the rising premium of the Hong Kong dellar; which was quoted at 57.88 cents this afternoon. The premium has been steadily rising during the past three weeks and has the effect of raising the prices of daily necessaries.
