It is sald that he was wounded while trying to prevent the Captalo using bis revolver.

Latest news from Wachaw is to the effect that an American missionary named Randal witnessed the shooting and that Dr. McDonald of Wachow, Mr. G. W. Gouthwath, chief engineer of the Kong-pak, the Chinese boatswain and the night watchman of the. Dosing will be among the witnesses for the protection.

It is rumored that before the prisoner could be got out of Wochow some relatives of the deceased Compradore effered $500 for Captain Toleman's head and that therefore had there been much delay in shipping him off to. Canton there would assuredly have been an attempt, a very desperate attempt, made by the "tough" of Wachow to kill the men,
