CAPT. EDWARDS EXPLAINS. We have received the following explanation which, in faimes to Capt. Edwards, we pabllib as freely as we published the statements of the ather alde, against him. Probably thers is a good deal of truth in both accounts. It will be seen that Capt. Edwards himself states that cruel and illegal treatment was inflicted, by the chiar officer without the knowledge of the cephalaitress has not been known since 1846, and that is sufficient to carry conviction. As to the actual degree of brutality, it is sufficient to note that two Japanese, the most patient and long-suffering nation on earth, were driven to what practically amounted to suicide, one only being rescued in a terribly exhausted condiiton in the waters of the harbour, still manacled, while the other was drowned. Capt. Edwards says not possible, seeing that both men when found the men were alded to escape, but that is surely, were still feltered. And, even apart from the question of brutality, Capt. Edwards had no right except for the purpose of handing them over as to confine the men while la Hongkong waters. early as possible to the Hongkong authorities.

March 29th, 1892 1 DEAR SIR-I was very much surprised to read an article from the Hongkong Talagraph concerning myself, on the very much blaised statements of a man who evidently has all to gain by making out his case as strong us possible. I will just lay the facts before you, and trast you will refute your former article at once. On the voyage from Kebel to Hongkong two słowaways were found, and my chief officer was

The first I knew of their having bren in irons was from the article inthe Telegraph. I beg to atate no ads of brutality have ever occurred on this ship. The fact of my engaging a crew and taking them to a place where they would get 3 times the pay they get here, and having no desertions, should certainly speak well for the treatment on board. I will pass over the superfluous remarks the Telegraph has thought fit to put in print for the present.
