In our issue of the 18th October last we
directed attention to the fact that the German Admiral and several German warships had been surveying the harbour of and approaches to the Island of Quemay, close to the treaty port of Amoy, and we then quoted frana a letter received from dur Amoy correspondant”wherein it was stated that he had heard from German naval officer
that Germany then con templated the annexation of Amoy, and that the matter was boing amicably arranged at Peking by the German Muntater. Since then the German fleet has been here and is now sgaia in Amby, whila'the Fifis and Arcona have been making fresh surveys of Quemoy.
Our Amoy comerspondent recsatly reported that he had reason to believe the German flag would be halsted at Quemoy on the Emperor's birthday (today), and under fdato the 24th Instant he writes -
|
also that he did not commit any act establishing his connection with any excess of power. Agało, ✨ as to the blondy deed perpetrated in the Korean.

In fact, he did not learn noytblog about the projected menfe until the beginning of Oct, when Lieut-General Viscount Miura Gero, faformed hint that the Tai Wōt-kun wa Japanese Representative at the Court of Korea, planning to effect an entry into the Palace, and that he, Miara Goro, contemplated rendering. assistance to the plan. At the time when Lieut. Colonel Kutuboss heard this story from Miura la connection with the affair, and follows that Gord the latter had already made up his mind Lieut-Colonel Kosonore could not Instigated Miura or prompted his decision. Neither is there any proof whatever that he instigated olher persons. Lieut-Colonel Kbesore stande acquitted, therefore, of any act connecting him with excans of power of being accessory to murder.
