These were accordingly raised, and the system thus introduced was generally approved for it bad distinct advantages over that under which the longkong Regiment had been formed. It was recognised that the raising of special battalions for permanent service out of India was a mistake, and that it would be far better to supply the Colonial garrisons from the Native Army under a fixed system of reliefs. Eventually the Hongkong Regiment was mustered out and the new plan became fully operative. But the complications with China have never permitted a normal conditions being established, and the Indian Army has had to furnish garrisons in Chi-li in addition to those supplied for the thres Colonies above mentioned. Moreover, Hongkong has been given three instead of two battalions, and there is nothing to indicate that this is a temporary measure. The net result as shown in the Army List is as follows:-Mauritus, 11th Rajputs and 79th Carnatic Infantry; Hongkong, 93rd Burma lofantry, toth Maharatta Light Infantry and 114th Mahavattas; Singapore, 73rd Car natic Infantry; China 30th Punjabis at Shan hai-kwan, 21st Punjabis at Tientsin and Lutal There are thus eight battalions abroad, or three in excess of the proper number.

Just then the Chinese lad scrambled into the boat which was then pulled towards the man at the oar. At length he got safely aboard and found the others as exhausted as himself. They were then taken to the Shaukiwan Police Station (Inspector Robertson) where every attention was paid them, and after having a rub down, change of clothes and refreshments they took launch for Hongkong, where they arrived late in the evening not much the worse for their exciting experience excepting that their boat was lying at the bottom of the sea, in some twelve fithoms of water, with their coats and a gold watch and two gold chains stowed snugly aboard. They were agreed that, had not the fishing boat been anchored where it was, they must have been drowned as, apart from the fact that they had swam only about half way to the shore, the steep rorks jutting into the sea would have prevented them from effecting a landing.

THE KWANGSI TROUBLE.

Canton, 18th July, 1904. There was great excitement on the streets on Saturday. The Viceroy's troops marched to the official landing and took boats for Kwangsi. The crush on the streets was terrible.

THE ROBBERIES AT RIPON TERRACE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE "Hongkong TrueGRAPII,”

as they only arrived there last November.

Now if this state of things is to continue and it seems certain that for many years to come two battalions must be retained in Chili and three Hongkong-the Native garrison of ledia will remain three battalions below strength. Financially this is advantage us, as the English Treasury bear the full cost of their maintenance, but if a consistent military policy is to be followed the more regiments should be at once raised in India. There is, however, no indication of any such step being taken, though the Secretary of State has, practically agreed to the raising of a l'iuneer battalion of Hazaras. It may be urged that the Russo- Japanese war has removed, or at least post- poned, the danger from the direction of Cen tral Asia, to guard against which all otir pre- parations in India are undertaken, but, on the other hand, there are other quarters where our military strength has to be in evidence. Leaving Sumaliland out of the DEAR SIR--With reference to the article question, though we regiments are being which appeared in your last Saturday's issue detained there for the time being, there is there the robbery in Ripon Terrace, it would be future of Tibet to be considered. The actual well to draw the attention of the powers that campaign in that country, in which between be to the inadequats policing of the above 4,000 and 5,000 Native troops are likely to be neighbourhood. engaged, is only part of the "day's work" of the Indian Army: it a frontier expedition, though one quite out of the ordinary kind. But when Lhassa has been captured questions may arise as to the occupation of some part of the country, and this will entail the permanent absence from Indias cantonments of one if not two battalions. This estimate is a very moderate oge, and it will probably be exceed ed. In the circumstances, then, there would seem to be a declared necessity for raising two more regiments in addition to the Hazara Pioneers. The cost of these will not fall upon Indian revenues, for the Home Government have to pay for all troops employed in the colonies and China. We cannot afford to let the Native Army fall below its sanctioned strength in India izelf, for it is impossible to say what eventualities may have to be met.-- Bombay Gazelle,

preparatory shelling from the mountain gans. The Tibetans held both ridges and the monastery with the greatest obstinacy, and warriors were observed tearing great stones from the tower on the top ridge to roll down on the advancing troops. The monastery walls had to be blown down before the enemy vacated the position. Some fled over the ridge, but had their retreat cut off by the Mounted Infantry, and the fighting was not over till darkness descended. The opera tions were made more tiresome by the fact that the troops, some of whom were cut for eighteen hours, had to work over a perfect morass. The Gyanise plain is a network of irrigation chan aels, which the recent heavy rain has flooded over. During the operations a persistent fire was kept up by beavy jingals from the jang. It now appears; that many cannon have been mounted both da the jog and the monastery behind it. Capt. Craster of the 40th Pathans was killed, and Capis.
