The victims were, E.G. Green and E. Sharman, both from H.M.S. Sepoy, who were admitted into the Naval Hospital, suffering from 'severe brulsen and abrasions re- ceived when their car collided with a tram at Talkoo. At the same time, Tain Yu-chow, the driver of public-car No. 630, was also taken to the Government Civil Hospital suffering from serious cuts caused by splintered glass.

At 2.40 yesterday afternoon, a party of three blue-jackets were proceeding along the Shaukiwan Road on their return to town after a drive along the main road. They had approached to within 50 yards of the East Gato of Taikoo Docks, where a straight view of the roadway is obscured by a bend which occurs about half-way up à slight incline. On turning round this corner, they were dismayed by the sight of an approaching

Sorgeant Roldy said he was on duty in Kimberley Road at 12.30 a.m. yesterday and on the receipt of a report that a tyre had been removed from a motor car which was left on a vacant plece of ground, witness proceeded to the spot and found the tyro, about twenty yards from the car. The tyro was put back into the car and an Indian constable on duty was Instructed to hide and to arrest anyone who might try to remove the tyre again.

The Indian constable gave a confused account of what occurred and оп one occasion was re- primanded for telling the Court that he had been hiding, while he later remarked that the defendant| actually spoke to him before the arrest.

Witness and the defendant ap- proached him and asked him what time he would finish his patrol. Witaces told him that he was due

The driver was flung forwardINMEN against the wind screen, which was shattered to fragments. All three passengera in the back of the car were also thrown about, A. B. Sharman being forced clean out of his sent, making a painful landing on the roadway. His in- juries, however, were not so seri- ous as those of A. B. Green, who, on being thrown forward, knocked his head against the car. The other member of the party escaped with a few minor bruises,

When examined by police officera afterwards, the car had only three wheels on, the fourth, which was the off-aide front wheel, having been smashed after coming into contact with the tram.

The damage done to the tram- dar is assessed in a police report this morning at $100.

Peking, July 4. A deadlock is said to have been reached in the negotiations between Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, Marshal. Yen Hol-shan and Mar- shal Feng Yu-halang.

Following medical advice, Mar- shal Yen is still staying in hos- pital, and, according to a Japanese report, he will have to be confined there for at least thres more days.

Yon has cancelled his passage by a Japanese steamer, scheduled to leave Tientsin to-morrow, for feiting $500 deposit money. He' is said to have dictated a telegram from his sick bod to Marshal Feng urging the latter to come to Peking or Tientsin to participate at a con- forence.

Marshal Chiang paid a second visit to the German Hospital yesterday and had a brief conver antion with You.

General Han Fu-chu, (com- manding the First Kueminchan Division) who surrendered recent ly to Nanking, causing a direct blow to the prestige to Fong Yu- hslang, has wired to Chiang In Paking stating that many of the Kuominchan divisional comman- dora, including Sun Chit-yuen, Liu Yuk-fan, and Shih King-tang, have all sent eminarios to Cheng- chow to confer with him so as to arrange farms for the surrender of their troops to Nanking.
