SHIPMASTER'S STORY.

During the trouble, between Kwangtung and Kwangsi, many a tale has been brought back to the Colony relating the cupidity of the various warring factions. Yet an- other has been related to a repre- | sentative of the Telegraph by the master of one of the most well- known steamers on the Hongkong- Wuchow run.

NEW PLAN EVOLVED BY A DUTCH PRODUCER.

According to the reports in Wuchow, the Canton authorities had got wind of alleged treachery by the aviators and steps were at once taken to place them in custody. This was achieved with- out very much trouble.

It is atated that the treachery discovered included arrangements to hand over the planes to the Kwangsi authorities.

News is now being eagerly awaited in Wuchow regarding the fate of the 15 aviators.
