CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.
EXPORT OF SILK FROM CHINA AND JAPAN TO AMERICA.
At Manila on the 28th May a native named Marcelo Cese ran amok, killing three persons -and wounding five others. He was finally shot down by a policeman. The cause of his parox- ysm of rage was that a woman of whom he Shangbai was enamoured was about to proceed to Spain in the service of a Spanish family returning to the Peninsula.
The orders from Peking for the disbandment of the old style battalions of the territoral army in Soochow and Changchou prefectures having been recently complied with by the provincial high authorities of Kiansu, large numbers of disbanded soldiers are now roaming about the country at large, plaudering and extorting pro- visions from the terrified villagers without. restraint. There is now a regular panic in that part of the province and it is reported that travelling between Soochow and towns on the Yangtze is rather dangerous on account of these outlaws.-N. C.
