The Macio Independente and the Hongkong Extremo Orients and Porvir, publications in the Portuguese language purporting to be news papers, are 6lling their column with long trades against each other, profusely protesting deep friendship and repudiating any suggestion ef hostility or rivalry, but at the same time giving each other beans, to the almost complete neglect of the primary bailaess of newspapers. It would do no great barm if they would annihilate each other.
This suppositious dispositon of the fleet affords the most plausible explanation of the numerous conflicting reports dally pouring in. A British ship is sighted at Port Hamilton; at once that place is be- leved to be seized. Ditto Tallen, ditto Che- mulpo. And the theory we have propound ed would even, at a pinch, explain the most remarkable cock-and-bull story we have beard for a long time, namely that H.MS. Undaunted had been dogging the Russians so persistently as to exhaust their patience and get herself fired on and sunk!
