DROWNING FATALITY AT QUARRY BAY.

We are informed that early, this morning, while a European cagineer, attached to the dredger Canton River, was returning on board ship, he was suddenly attacked by the native boatswain and forcibly pushed into the water. He managed to get into a gig that was lying near the dredger, and was on the points of rowing to the shore when the boatswain sud. denty lept aboard and, after a scuffle, again pushed the European over the side. But he dragged the Chinaman with him, and after some wriggling about the European extricated himself, and struck out for land swain, however, was drowned, and according to latest report the body has not yet been re covered. We undertand the police are inves. tigating the matter.

THE REBELLION IN KIVANGSI,

|

THE PLAGUE.

There are still some cases of plague reported. More parts of the city are infected but the disease does not spread rapidly. The country round is also comparatively free from plague, We may expect the disease to spread in the country as plague patients are arriving from Hongkong. It will be remembered that last year many villages were badly de-- cinated in the neighbourhood of Canton, the plague being introduced into them by plague infected persons returning from Hongkong. It looks as if something like this might occur this year.

ROBBERIES.

There is an unusual number of robberies re-

ported for this time of the year. Shun Tak is unusually bad. One reason given for the many robberies is that gambling has pres encouraged to such an extent that the number of poor and worthless characters has increased. These have taken to robbing to supply their wants.

DR. RAZLAG.

Reliable news has just reached us by letter dr ct from Kweilin to the effect that the Kwangsi rebellion is causing grave atorm. The Imperial |troops, numbering over 1,100 m n, under Major Tang, which recently passed through Wuchow and Kweilin, met a large band of the rebels' on the borders of Kwei-chow and Kwanggi pro- vince, and a sanguinary battle was fought. Over three hundred of the limperial troops, in- cleding Major Tang and Lieutenants Mak and Cheong, and over the same numbers of rebels were reported slain. The Imperial troop at first had the advantage as during their onward march they surprised the rebels near the moun- tain passes. News of the affair was at once tele-undersland, has given considerable pecuniary graphed to the Viceroy of Canton, and more troops aid in forwarding the work among lepers, asked for. The city guards and the three gings of bannermen, forming the garrison of Kweilin service and have since left for a small town, and Wuchow have been requisitioned for active Tchi Yuen, bordering between Kwangsi and

Kweichow provinces. At the same time a system of press gang, acting under directions from Canton, has been at work among the villagers and every able-bodied young man is pressed into the service.

THE CUSTOMS GAZETTE.

Dr. Razlag informs us with reference to the paragraph appearing under these Notes in last evening's issue that the sole reason for his discontinuing his work at Canton was because of the Rebellion trouble and not owing to any misunderstanding with the Viceroy, who, we now

The "real crisis" therefore is not incompatible with a moderate, profit to one group of owners at least. His other two groups are the British owners and the Japanese, and he says nothing of their profits beyond stating that there has been a heavy fall in shipping shares on the Hongkong Exchange.

GREAT FINGALL AFFAIRS.

SECRETARY'S DEFALCATIONS: £140,000,

With the return of Mr. C. Algernon Moving from China, renewed interest is naturally laken in the attitude of his firm towards the victims of the defaulting secretary of the Great. Fingall Consolidated Company.

Kothing of a reliable character; has yet been published as to far Mr. Moreing is pre- pared to go in direction of making up the enormous sum involved in Mr. A.S. Rove's .. collapse.

Recently, however, the secretary of the Great Fingall Company (Mr. T. W. Wellsted) and Mr. H. C. Hoover were interviewed by a Wert- ininster Gavelle representative; and the situa tion is made considerably clearer by their

statements.

"So far as Mr. Moreing is concerned,” said Mr. Wellsted," he will, of course, make good Mr. Rowe's defalcations, even to the extent of meeting the demands of the brokers, if the Great Fingall Companý is proved to be liable. The brokers naturally contend that the company is liable; but, as secretary, 1 say that such liability is not and never has been admitted.”

"What has been done so far to cover. the

liabilities of the absconding secretary ?

The Manila Times of the 27th inst, states: This morning while two companies of Philip- pine Scouts were travelling between San Fran- cisco del Monte and Mariquina they encount “Mr. Morcing has made good to the Fingall ered a large force of ladrones numbering at Company the whole of the defalcations of least 170 guns. A sharp battle ensued and scrip and cash. This bas involved an expendi- there were many casualties. Lieutenant Reese tute of £31,000..

So far as the brokers are concerned,

and about ten other scouts wounded.

The number killed and wounded on the ladrone side cannot now be told but the meagre report says.it is very large. The commander of the enemy was killed. He was gaily decorated with a red sash and it is believed that he was "General" San Miguel. The news arrived in Manila at about 1.30 p.m. and at time of going to press no further information can be gained.

We have just received the Customs Gazette, The boal-October-December, 1932, and from it we see that the year that has just closed shows a marked advance in the revenue, the increase in the last quarter being nearly a million and a quarter taels or about 18 per rent. Of the thirty ports which are allowed the distinction of being classed as Chinese Ports, eighteeen did better in the last quarter of 1901 than in 1991: these were Newchwang, Chinwangtao (which was not open in 1931).
