He gives an undertaking that if the prisoners are surrendered they shall not be decapitated or executed, but merely imprisoned, which means of course that they will suffer a lingering death.

The explanation of Chang's anxiety to ob tain possession of the Supas men is in order that he may show the throne that he can succeed where the Viceroy Wei Kung-tho has fed and so establish a claim by his supering fitness for the Nanking post. If he succcods in getting hold of the Supra men it is regarded as certain that he will get the post.

There having been loss of life, the Empress, if in fault, is liable for £15 ton, say £90,000, and a bond, we pre uie, will have to be given for this or some smal: ler sum by the agents of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

The theory that the Empress struck the Hunngtat with her starboard propeller when the two vessels closed is supported by the fact that the four blades of the former's starboard propeller had to be changed in Hongkong, and in addition four or five plates on the starboard side had to be dealt with, and some superficial damage to the superstructure made good.
