ACCORDING to a Incal vernacular paper the people living outside the Lien Gate of Amoy were startled to witness pinkish-coloured rain for an hour or so during a thunderstorm on the zoth ultu, in consequence of which the local wiseacres prognosticate that "there will be an era of blood und war within the next twelve months for Fukien province."

His Lordship, in a very able roanner, went into the evidence and into the prisoners state ments, which, if true, he said the prisoners must have been most unfortunate men, especially the eighth, as he was suffering from two misfortunes, the pipe and the jacket. He then exhaustively criticized the probabilities oftheir accuracy, leau ing the jury to decide theit, auch or not.

In the inside of the book, on the third page, was written Hongkong and Shanghai Bank in account with Yeung Kau Teal and under the dates of May 181, 3nd. 3rd and 4th. were entered sume of $250, the four amounts were bracketted together and the name "Y Kwan" was written in English characters in the column for the European clerk's signature. It is in respect of that book that the prosecution has been brought Under local oninance it's an offence for any one in the employ of any other person as clerk, -servant, or officer to make false entries in books belonging to the other person with intent to defraud. The defendant at the time, namely to go on, on which the entries by the Jury yesterday of together committing an were made, was in the employ of the Hong- armed robbery at the house of one Cheung kong and Shanghai Tank being at the time a Cheung, situate at Cheung Po, in the Un.

Do they represent something the purporting to have been done, namely depositing of four sums of money on the 1st. and, 3rd and 4th days of May? The last, and most important question, and one on which the defense will tin is, assuming that defen dlant, was a servant of the bank and that the entries are false, were they entered with the intent to defraud? It was not necessary to say that the intention was to defraud any particular person, or that the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank were to be the proposed victims, it was only necessary to say that it was intended to defraud somebody. It is most difficult to get direct evidence of a man's mind. His Lordship would probably tell them a man's intention must be gathered from his acts, from the possession of the book and by making these entries which would tend to enable anyone finding the book to defraud the bank, or to obtain a loan on the security of the deposit or to obtain money, or otherwise deceive any one by the entries was sufficient to show intent to defraud. In point of law a person is responsible for his actions, and the possible consequences of his acts to lead to fraud must be taken as intent 'to defraud:

ARMED ROBBERY AT WONG KUK SHUI, The case against 1. Lam Yeung, 2. Un Hap, 3. Yung 1, and 4 Lim Leung, of armed robbery and asing menaces was then taken.

The Acting Attorney General (The Hon. H. E. Pollock) in addressing the jury, said that the prisoners were charged on two counts, the first being that of robbery, the second robbery with arms, namely a revolver. The robbery, was committed at Wan Kok Shui, in the house of one Wan Tai, $30 and property, including a razor, being stolen. Wan Tai would state that in the early morning of the gth. of June, while asleep with his wife in a cubicle at his house in Wong-kok-shui, about 2am. He he was awakened by his wife calling out. sat up and saw the first prisoner, with a lighted paper torch, standing at the door of the cubicle. The man had a revolver in his hand and threatened to shoot him, demanding to know where he kept his money. Wong Tai told him where to find it; the robber took the money and then opened a box, taking out other property which he passed along to a man standing outside, whom he could identify as the second prisoner. His wife would also identify these two prisoners and say that there were three, men in the room. There was no evidence of identification as regards the other two. The evidence against the third prisoner was that on the evening of the 16th of June, or 7 days after the robbery, the police, from informa tion received, raided a matshed on the hill side at Pok-la-wan, a small village near the lolo Ground. They saw three men sitting outside, who run away on the approach of but were captured and brought bache police. were five men inside. the matslied, pinongst whom were the first, second and third prisoners.

Amongst other stolen property taken from the matshed was a revolver and a box of cartridges. Next day, that is on the 17th of June, the fourth prisoner came to No. 7 Police Station, between 7 and 8 in the morning, and asked the Chinese interpretor for the revolver, saying it was his property. He was therefore arrested by the police.

The Transvaal Crisis.

LONDON, June th

The St. James Gazelle this afternoon claims to have received from an absolutely reliable source at Pretoria, the capital of the Transvaal, the plan of campaign which will be followed by General Joubert, commander in chief of the Boers, in the event of war between the Trans vaal and Great Britain.

General Joubert's force, it appears, will con- sist of 20,000 men nemed with Mauser rifles, in addition to 46 quick firing guns and 1,000 artillerymen, most of them drawn from the German and Danish armies. With these troops and the help expected from the Orange Free State, Joubert expects to take the offensive im- mediately after the declaration, of war, enter. the Orange Free State and march on to Kin Berley, the British diamond mining centre. Kimberley is about 100 miles northwest of Bloemfontein.

The case against Yeung Cheung U, alias ng Kwan, hank shroff for making false entries in a bank book, the property of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, for hearing. Mr. Francis QC (instructed by Messrs. Johnson, Stokes and Master) appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Slade (Instructed by Messrs. Deacon and Hastings) defended. Frisoner pleaded "not guilty on ail counts.”

The position of Canada is known here offi- authorized in saying that there are only two ways out of the difficulty first, that Ganada will voluntarily recede from her demands for a Pacific tidewater port; or second, that the United States shall surrender the principle laid down by Secretary Hay, in his tentative boundary line that Americans will not grant temporarily or otherwise any port facilities to the Canadians.

Lord Compton served, in South Africa for five years. He knows the Boers and their country, and has considered both critically from the standpoint of a military officer and a student. He spoke of the Transvaal problem entirely as and humanity "There are motives of fair play which make Great Britain exceedingly reluctant to interfere in South Africa by force, but it is only candid to say that considerations of a niilitary character also operate to make us chary about rushing into a campaign which must present most formidable obstacles and strategy that might stagger a military expert. involve questions of transport, supply and

Mr. Francis, QC, in addressing the jury for the prosecution, said that defendant had been in the employ of the Hongkong and Shangbai Banking Corporation for the last five or six years. He left their employ in May last. Previous to his leaving he bad been employed in the Savings Bank department which is under the charge of Mr... Sexton. While, there his duties were mainly to receive money, keep memoranda of money received and get the European in charge to put his signature to the amount. When money was paid out he had to get a deposit slip and enter name and amount and pass it along to the European clerk. He had also generally to assist when wanted.
