THE German steamer Amigo was seen by the this morning, weather-bound. She has joo of Acapulco in Mexico, and will there, it la maid, be employed on the new trunk line upon which German capitalisis have advanced a good deal of coin. The Amigo is chartered by the Compania Mexicana-Asiatica, of which's Mr. Vogel is agent in Hongkong and a Mr. Melisch the representa- tive at Macao. The Hongkong Government, to its credit, would not allow the Amigo to fit up for this traffic in Hongkong, so all the fittings were made here and forwarded by the regular daily Macao liners. It is rumoured that the German steamer Decima, now in port, will be the next boat on the Macao-Acapulco line. THE two men arid a woman recently charged before.

The following is a transla- tion of the letter forwarded by the prisoners to the child's father:-"To Mr. Yat Cho-We beg to inform you that some time ago we sent some of our brethren to talk with you concerning your son; when you did not seem to have made up a fixed determination in the matter, Up to date we have not received any answer.

As some further subscrip tions would probably be forthcoming he thought they could also place a memorial brass in the Victoria College.

A BURIED TREASURE IN EASTERN SEAS.

In 1865 I went to Hongkong in the interests of a certain English manufacturer, and it was a year and a half later when I one day received a strange visitor, with a strange proposition. I was in charge of a large warehouse, and one of ... my Chinese employes brought in the stranger and explained:

"I told him you would have nothing to do with him, but he insisted on caming,"

The stranger was a half-breed of some sort, gaunt, ragged, and evidently hard up. As soon as we were alone he introduced himself as Semyo and stated he was from the Island of Laron, on of the group composing the Philippines. Ho belonged to the native population, but had Spanish blood in his veins. He had once been a man of importance, but the Spaniards had robbed him of his power, and afterwards feared his influence to such a degree that he had first been imprisoned and afterwards banished. He had been carried on a native craft to Japan, and there left ragged and penniless and had been more than a year reaching Hongkong.

While he had only a few shillings in his pockets, he had neither come to solicit charity nor a place to work. He had a straight, aquare business proposition to submit. If I approved of it well and good; if I did not, then he would be no worse off. When he realised that Spanish Influence was plotting, his downfall, he made such preparations as he could to meet the. inevitable. He was a very wealthy man, and be quietly went to work and converted every. thing he could · into money, gold duit,” and jewellery. He had got about $90,000 together when the ruling power pounced upon him bat buried bis fortune, and, though he was abused and threatened by the Spaniards for months, he would not betray the secret,
