Considerable anxiety is being felt lest the pirates put the three Britona "on the spot," as the cap- tives are more of a menace to the bandits' safety than a. possible source of income. On the other hand, the captors may have joined some larger force of outlaws, with a view to putting up a determined resistance against any further onslaught by troops.-Reuter.

LIKELY GOVERNMENT POLICY

A FORECAST

The Telegraph learns that legislation to provide for the licensing of local cabarets or dancing halls will shortly be presented to the Legislative Council.

It is not proposed to draft.a new Ordinance to govern the regula tion of cabarets. An amendment to an existing ordinance is consi- dered aufficient, and law for the control of cabarets will be incor- porated in Ordinance No. 8 of 1887, which is a consolidating Ordinance relating to various licences.

We were officially informed this morning that Government is now engaged in drafting the addition to the Ordinance and it is expected that it will come before Legisla tive Council early next month.

THE ORDINANCE.
