The Porte has directed the attention of Servia to the formation there of insurgent bands for Macedonia. Servia replies that hitherto she has done her utmost but unless the,, persecution of Christians and the ex cesses of Turkish troops cease and serious reforms are introduced, she will be unabel to restrain the popular indignation in Servia, The Belgrade papers are cordially discussing the probability of a defensive alliance with Bulgaria against Turkey,

(From/Our Own Correspondent.)

September 12th,

Peking has a new toy: the Board of Coin- merce having been started, at least on paper, one hears of nothing else but the appointment of some minor officials or other trifling incident connected with it. Norbing else appears to be loing of any importance, and locally things are very dull also,

During the past two months robbers have been playing' havoc with the villagers of the Sun-ning district, destroying their rice crops stealing their cattle and injuring the people. This region is about four days' journey by launch from Can on and a correspondent in forms us that, on the soit inst, a raid took place in which several houses were ransacked

This gang of scallywags, which is abom twenty strong, retired to the hills with the plunder. It is stated that the district prefect is unable to cope with these bandits and that committee consisting of six elders of the village has come to Hongkong in order to raise money in buy arms and ammunition to defend themselves against the robbers.

,

Prince Su has applied to the Viceroy here for funds to assist him in doing the roads in

Peking. Yuan Shi-kai has replied acknow- ledging the importance of the roads being repaired, but declaring his inability to aid the work in any way, too many local demands on his finances existing already. He suggests that Prince Su postpone the work a year.

Chou Fu has recently petitioned the Govern- ment to grant him money to deal with the doods in Shantung and the Yellow River. This has been refused; primarily, no doubt, because there is no money to spare in Peking, partly because the request ought not to have been

THE COMING. MILITARY MANŒUVRES,

IN JAPAN.

A Tokyo dispatch to the Asahi states that the Emperor proposes to visit Hinieji and neighbourhood early in November for the purpose of witnessing the autumn military

manauvies to 1 held there.

The villa at Maiko of Prince Arisugawa has been chosen as the headquarters of the manœuvres, and there the Emperor, will stay during his visit.

.

We may add that it has now been decided that the three Army Divisions, those of Osaka, Himeji, and Marugame,, which will take part in the maneuvres, will conclude the divisional operations by the gil: November. The troops' of all the Divisions will assemble on the follow- ing day at the places assigned to them, taking up their respective positions on the 1th for the final grand manuvies, which will last for three days, consmencing the 12th November. The troops will be reviewed by the Emperor on the 15th November at Himeji.

BANGKOK.

The French Chargé d'Affaires at Bangkok reports that Siamese trade last year made, the greatest spring upwards since 1893. The value of

teak exported during the year was 8,408,241f, which is an increase of 1,719,769f; or, taken by weight, it was 56.075 tons, against 43.731 tons. The export of rosewond amounted to 1,0.0f, again a large incicase over the previous year.

It is reported that Prince Ching has told his aid-de-cunp that China is not strong enough to reject the Pussian demand. China relies on Japan for assistance; but the attitude of the latter is so indecisive that China is un- able to put much trust in help from such a quarter.
