TELEGRAPH.

It is reported that 800 Japanese troops landed in the Blas Bay district yesterday morning at a point garri- koned by Commander Wong

Mon- Un's 1,000 anti-piracy guards. Some of the Chinese guards were recalled from the Po An district near. Hong- kong and they succeeded in repulsing the Japanese.

A number of Japanese were kill ext and they took their dead com- rades away after the engagenient. Chinese casualties numbered 40 or 30 wounded.

It is believed that there were three Japanese destroyers and two river gunboats in support. The gunboats assisted by bombarding the Chinese position while six planes released bombs.

When the reinforcements arrived the Chinese defenders went over the top and with fixed bayonets pursued the now retreating Japanese right down to the water. It was in this counter-attack that the Chinese sus-

She has lost her 44th Division (Com- mander, Wong Chun-pan), four re- gimental colonels and eight battalion leaders, all killed.

Misses Plane Tourist Robbed,

One intending passenger failed to depart for Manila on the Pan Ameri- can Airways, plane China Clipper yesterday morning owing to the loss. just before the plane was due to leave here, of his passport, money and clothes.

The victim was Mr. Thomas King Tal-guan, a young businessman who has been making a short visit to the Colony and was returning to his home in Manila for Christmas. He set out from Hongkong with two bags containing everything ho pos- sessed here. When he arrived at Kowloon two coolles approached him -and-one-took his-bags-and-said-he- would carry them to the bus and sat off at a fast pace towards the Penin- sula Hotel. The second coollo obligingly guided Mr. King round the other side of the circus-and by the time the traveller arrived at the hotel both coolles and his bags had disappeared,
