THE REBELLIONS IN HUPEH --AND ANHUL.:-
We translate the following telegrams from native sources, some of which are officia! telegrams to the local mandarins —
Colnel Wu and prefect Chu, the military and civil Commandants, respectively, of the Viceroy Chang's disciplined K'ai regiment, (Sco men) operating against the Hupeh rebels in Changlo district, report that they captured the second of the fortified villages near Changlo on the 24th ullime and then closely pursuing the feeing rebels followed thein pelt-mell Into the city itself which they subsequently captured after some fierce street fighting. The Changlo magistrate Chou, who had not been murdered as at first reported, was rescued from prison and was accordingly replaced in office pending instructions from Viceroy Chang in the matter. A large body of rebels are still collected on the Hunnn-Hupeh borders near Chenglo which must be dispersed before that portion of Hupeh can be pacified. In the fighting before the two fortised villages, following with their capture the recapture of Changlo, the quick firers and magazine rifles of the K'ai regiment imply swept the rebels away where ver there was the least indication of their presence. By this means nearly 700 rebels lost their lives. The backbone of the Hupeh rebellion is now considered at Wuchang to be crushed and that before long peace will be restored, owing to the death of the three prin- cipal rebel chiefs who were killed while fight ing the Kai regiment on the 21st, zjrd, and 24th inst.

ALLEGED REACH OF COVENANT. Cheung Yau Tau and Cheung Yau Leung and one Fam Shi (of 37, Wyndham Street, executors and executrix of the late Cheung Ki sought to obtain an injunction to restrain Choi Chan, of 56, Praya Central, from committing a breach of a certain covenant with reference to certain buildings.
Mr. Francis, Q.C., instructed by Mr. H. L. Dennys, appeared for plaintiffs, and Mr. Slade, instructed by Messrs. Wilkinson and Grisi, for defendant.
Mr. Francis, having read the pleadings and answer, said plaintifs and defendants were owners of two rows of houses extending from Queen's Road towards the Praya and which were back to back originally or some tine ago there was goingthing in the nature of a four-foot lane, or opening, or passage between the backs of these two of houses, and of that four-foot me very narrow stip next to plaintiffs' houses-abug: 20 inches in width at one end and to inches in width at the other belonged to Cheung Ki, the testator, and on that four foot of tant extending over this narrow strip which belonged to the late Cheung Kai cook-houses of some descrip tion or another had been constructed by do. fendant or by his predecessor. Cheung Kis houses, as far as he understood, hail an duors opening on this lane or passage, but had cennin windows opening on to it. Under these circumstances the indenture on which plaintifs were proceeding was made between the lane Cheung Ki, the owner of the narrow strip of land, and Choi Chan, the owner of the greater portion of this four foot of alley why. The indenture, which was dated October 5th, 1890, provided for the sale of the narrow strip of land to defendant, the latter, however, agreeing that no other buildings should be placed on the land other than those which then existed and that the buildings then ou the land should not be raised in height and that if these buildings were pulled down or destroyed in any way the others constructed in their place should be similar to them, Their charge against defendant was that he had taken down these buildings and re- erected others at a greater height by two or three feet. In doing so he had blocked up some windows in their buildings which were in existence at the time of the deed. The defence was that between the making of the deed and Cheung KP's death, which took place in January, 1844, one portion of the covenant was violated, the buildings being pulled down and others of greater height erected, but that this was done with the consent and knowledge of Cheung Ki
The hearing of the case had not concluded, when the Court rose.

A conference between the American and Spanish commissioner says the Janil Times of 25th ulto. was held Sunday afternoon and lasted from 3 to 7 p.m. We publish; what passed without comments, we understand the natural impatience of the country to know anything connected with its future.
