SERIOUS FIRE AT CANTON,
DAMAGE ESTIMATED AT $20,000.
(From Our Correspondent.)
CANTON, 3th April. From the Shamcen, at a quarter to seven last evening, a column of flames was seen to ascend, and the settlement was first under the impression that the Shanghai 5.5. Tientsin was afire. It was shortly afterwards learned, bow- ever, that a kerosene godown was night. The dames quickly spread to adjoining saw mills and godowns, and in the end seven stores were gutted. The estimated loss caused by the fire
When you saw Mr. Hastings and Fung Wa Chun on the morning of the 17th September did you tell this gentleman (pointing in Mr. Jis $20,000, Hastings) that you had no American notes and that they were all gone ?—Yes, I did tell him 50. The statement was not true.
Way did you tell him that lie --They told lies at the ti. He is a lawyer and they said he was a shipping clerk (laughter),
And so you lied as tard as you could?- They began the lying.
Did you think that that morning you were called upon to lie for all you were worth (laughter)?—He cheated me first, Why should Į not deceive him. He (Fang Wa Chunj said he was a shipping clerk, but Mr. Hastings calls
himself a solicitor.
And you admit telling Mr. Hastings that morning you had no more American notes, and that was a lie?—Yes,
You knew Mr. Hastings well?--Yes. And Fung Wa Chun, you say, said he was a sbipping clerk ?--Yes,
What did you say to Fung Wa Chun ?-1 did not say anything. I took the matter to my heart,
Did Fung Wa Chun tell you in English or Chinese that Mr. Hastings was a shipping clerk-In Chinese,
Why did you not say to Mr. Hastings "Fung Wa Chun tells me you are a shipping clerk; I know you well "-Why should I take the trouble to do so. Of course, when I saw they did not tell the truth 1 kept quiet,
Did Mr. Hastings tell you he was a shipping clerk-No, he did not say anything.
And you knew he was a lawyer?-Yes. And you say because you knew he was a lawyer that you thought it was necessary for you to lie (laughter)?-If Fung Wa Chun had told me the tenth that Mr. Hastings is a soi citor then I would have given him a true statement, but as he lied from the beginning,
I did not see why I should let him know anything about it.
Proceeding, the witness pointed out that the $50,000 was regair:d in Manila for the purpose of a deposit in connection with a
contract with the American Government for clothing and rice. He had $38,00 in his safe at the termination of the American Spanish war and $12,000 in notes at his private house.
Did you keep the number of those notes? No, I am not so careful as that: People would not trouble to do so even though they had any
amount of time.
You are a man of business? Why did you not deposit them in the bank and obtain in- terest for them? The price of gold incre sed day after day and I kept them in the house the same as welry.
