For the first time in the history of the 'hilip pine islands since American occupation the United States maits have been held up and robbed. The hold-up occurred last Wednesday night on the Manila and Dagupan railroad, on the through train from Dagupan. The agent was sorting out the mail and sicking it when he was attacked from behind and knock ed unconscious. Just how much the robber secured is not known, but some 43 or 30 letters were torn open and rifted.

ALFRED COLSAN, a stowaway from Hongkong on the Jardine liner Kumsang, was recently charged before the Master Attendant at Singa- pore by Captain Ruller, and was sentenced to a fine of $100 or a month's rigorous imprison. ment. Colman took the latter. He had pre- viously confided in Captain Buller, the Straits Times says, that he had been recommended to stowaway on his ship by the Y.M.C.A. 'branch at Hongkong! The latter port has long been the dumping ground of all the beach-combers in the Far East; but while sympathising with the community of that Settlement in its afflic tion, it is to be hoped that they will not pass on any more of their proletariat to this port Singapore is already infested with a bad lot of pure dead-beats, who principally live by beg ging from the shipping along the Tanjong Pa- gar Dock wharfs.

A CHINESE APPEAL.

At the Supreme Court, this morning, before Sir William Goodman (Chief Justice), and Mr. T. Sercombe Smith (Puisue Judge), Mr. M. W. Slade appealed to have the judgment, delivered on 26th March last, in the matter of Chan Ut Chiu and Fun Kon Shan v. Chu Lee and Chu Ping, set aside and quashed.

Mr. H. E. Pollack K.C., and Mr. E. H. Sharp KC, (instructed by Mr. J. Harston) were for respondents and Mr. Slade (instructed by Mr. H. J. Gedge) for the appellants.

FITAL COLLIŠION IN THE HARBOUR.

An accident occurred in the harbour, last night, which resulted in one death and the entire loss of the effects and personal properly of three other persons. The Polar Star, of the Star Ferry Co., was crossing the harbour at p.m. when she ran into a sampan; and immediately capsized her, throwing the occupants-two women, a man, and a baby aged nine months-with all their property into the water. The three adults were picked up, but the baby was drowned. An inquiry will be held.

5. S. TSINAN” IN HONGKONG.

CAPTAIN'S ACCOUNT OF THE VLADI. VOSTOK SQUADRON.

Captain W. B. Brown, of the 's. s.. Tstant, which arrived in harbour this morning, bas same very interesting details of her recent trip to Japan, which appears to have been a very eventful voyage. When nearing Yokohama on the 241b últ, at 3 p.m., the Vladivostock squa. dron was sighted, and immediately the Rossia bore down on the 7'sinin, signalling the latter. to "stop instantly," which signal the Trimmnat once obeyed, and hove to, while an armed beat came off from the Rossio, in command of a fieutenant who boarded the ship and inspected her papers. Two other vessels of the fleetthen came up, and they sent swenty-one lascara aboard who, they said, were part of the crew of the s.s. Knight Commander, which the fleet had sunk that morning at 7.30. The lieutenant then left, after ordering the 7'sinan not lo pro- ceed until the squadron was out of sight. The latter then steamed off in the direction of Peck Island, and after a while the Tainan shaped her course for Yokohama, arriving there the next morning. It was there learned that the Rusi sian squadron were about the Gulf for several days. The Tsinan left Yokohama 'on thé 28th ult. (Thursday); and the Japanese fleet was sighted to the northward of Vries Island, while the Trinan arrived at Kobe the same alleinoon without further incident. On the 1st inst, she felt Kobe for Kuchinotsu, where she arrived on the 3rd inst., leaving the same day for Hongkong. While passing Moji they saw twelve Japanese transports anchored there, some of which were believed to have wounded soldiers on board.

Mr. Slade, in opening the case, brietly related the facts, and stated that in 1889, at the time that the Fraya Reclamation Ordinance was passed Marine Lot 534 was held as to section A, and the remaining portion by the pedeces sor in title of the appeilaats, sections Band D were held by Yiu Chow and section C by Mr. Stephens. The frontage of the lot was divided between the remaining portion and sections B and D. With regard to the reclamation in front of the remaining portion, that had been alloited to the appellants, and no question arose upon that in this case. With regard to the reclamation in front of sections B and D the then owner of these sections, Yiu Chow declined to enter into a Reclamation Agreement with the Government within the time allowed by the Reclamation Ordin ance of 1889. That was to say, he failed to acquire the rights which would have been his had his so agreed Having refused to enter into the agreement the Government, ander the powers conferred upon them by section 6 of the Ordinance, made an agreement with some one else to do the work. That o:ber man was the predecessor in title of the appellants in this case. The agreement was couched in the ordinary terms, but contained a special proviso at the end of it, whereby a guarantee way given to assign an 'equitable proportion' to the holders of sections B, C and D, or pay as equivalent thereof in money. By not entering into the Reclamation Agreement within the time allotted by the Reclamation Ordinance, Yiu Chow, the predecessor in title of the respon dents, gave up every legal right he had under that Ordinance. The only right he had left was one of compensation at the absolute discretion of the Government. Counsel contended that what the Court had to do was to 'construe this undertaking, and say what amount of prop:rtion of the reclamation in front of

Captain Brown learned that all the Euro- sections B and D ought to be assigned in the respondents under this undertaking. The pean officers and engineers of the Knight Cominander were retained on the Rurik as Chief Justice had decided in the Court below that the meaning of the words'assign-an-equit--prisoners of war, and were to be taken to able proportion of the said reclamation to the Vladivostok. The lieutenant and other officers- owners of sections B, C and D of the said lot'

were very communicative stating that they had meant that the whole of the reclamation in received severe reprimands from St. Petersburg front of the said lot was to go to the owners of for sinking the Sado Maru and strict instruc sections B and D and nothing to the owners tions to treat British ships and the British- of section C.

His Lordship submitted that Mr. Slade was attempting to introduce new arguments.

Mr. Slade denied this, and urged that he was repeating the arguments he advanced in the Court below. He proceeded to cite a number of cases and authorities to support of his view of the construction to be placed upon the ander-taking.

The case was adjourned.

Others state that the General has been shot, whether fatally or not it was impossible to ascertain. All agree that he is now in a hospital.
