I should say that these figures go far to show that Hongkong has already made considerable progress along the read of sanitary Improvement and that they reflect great credit on those who have been responsible for the sanitation of the town'during the last six years.
At the Sanitary Board meeting yesterday the following letter from the Acting Director of Public Works to the Colonial Secretary was lald on the table -

The more reckless of the agitators who are leading the unemplored demonstrations” in London, are urging their followers to seize the Duke of Westminster and other aristocratic metropolitan landowners and to hang them to the city lamp-posts. Only such action as chav racterised the mob during the French Revola- tion is likely, they affirm, to bring the grievances of the workers prominently under public antice and to compel in amelioration of their present condition.
The treaty between Germany and Rosis has caused great demonstrations of rejoicing"la St. Petersburg.
The great Powers refuse to recognise ellber of the belligerents at Rio de Janeiro,
The Shah of Persia will visit St. Petersborg in June and will afterwards tour through Europe. Baron Soubeyrau has been arrested in Paris on a charge of obtaining £1,500,000 by false pretences from the Societe Imm-uble.

Shortly after four o'clock the rattle of rides awoke everybody, and in a few seconds all the men were up and at their posts. The sentry stationed outside the camp near the point where the attack was made was shot dead, but the others managed to get bebied the shelter, It may be stated that the troops, comprising both men of the West India Regiment and Frontier Palice, wore dark blue serge uniforms, and in the ordinary way the officers, when on service, wear the same. On this occaslog, however, being muddenly aroused from sleep, they rushed out clothed only in their white pyjamas, which, of course, made them all the mere conspicuous, and accounts to some extent for the heavy loss of life among them. The British opened i brlik fire, but the enemy could not be seen, though their fra told, and many men were shot down bebled the stockade.

The Argentine Press strongly opposes the ex- tradition of Jabez Ballour on the ground that the policy of the country has always been to refuse to sign extra-lition treaties, because they are simply the cause of abutting the door on wealthy foreigners, who might rely that they had not committed a crime sccording to the Baraunter Argentine ws. The Argentine Government revertheless favors Balfour's surrender, Owing to the absence of treades it has not deprived the Government of the power to give up or expellant any particular Individual.
