NOTES AND COMMENTS:
We are pleased to note from the Reu-active service. ter's message which we publish to-day that the British Government are evidently determined to lose no timeln organising the
telegram is rather vague, the state- ment made being to the effect that the officers and non-commissioned officers detalled to assist Colonel Bowra in his task are to leave on the Afteenth Instant, while the wire is dated November 30th. This is probably a mere slip and the date of departure intended to be indicated is doubtless the 15th of the present month, otherwise the departure of the party would have been notified sooner. As yet there is no news of a British regiment having been detailed for service at the port, but this will probably follow in the ordinary course of events, for It is hardly to be imagined that the defence of so important a position would be left entirely in the hands of a regiment of Chinese, and of the few marines now stationed there.
