The arrival in Newchwang of Mr. F. L. Pears, the third engineer of the Nanchang, has naturally given rise to considerable speculation re- garding the contents of the letter which he brought from the pirates.

PEKING, APR. 4.

WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW JAPANESE OFFENSIVE IN NORTH CHINA, THE CENTRE OF INTEREST HAS SHIFTED TO CHIN- WANGTAO, ONE OF THE THREATENED POINTS.

Chinwangtao is in a ferment, following aerial bombardment nearby and the arrival of Japanese war- ships.

According to an official communique, General Ho Chu-kuo, the commander of the Chinese defence forces in the area, says two Japanese warships and an aircraft- carrier put into Chinwangtao yesterday and anchored in the harbour.

Immediately the information reached the British Legation, a British military observer was despatched for the purpose of watching events in Chinwangtao and the latest Japanese operations in the Shihmenchai region.

If the operations extend and the Chinwangtao area becomes involved, international complications may ensue in view of the extensive foreign interests in that area. Reuter.
