The explanations given to the Macao authorities by General PANG YUK, the leader of the latest armed occupation" seems reasonable enough. This Chinese officer, who is well known' in Hongkong, having some few years ago been com- mandant of Kowloon city, but for some time past has acted as Commodore of the Hoppo of Canton's squadron of re- venue cruisers, states that the encampment has been established simply as a check upon the smugglers; and probabilities ap pear all in favor of the truth of this ex planation. PANG Yeug's duty is to re- |press smuggling, and although this move- ment is certainly a novel one, and not altogether free from suspicion, it may be and probably is true enough that the Hoppo has determined on adopting repressive measures both on land and sea to protect his revenues.
