The Proclamation of the 11th June against Tainan, Formosa, as an infected port is revok ed by command of H.E. the Governor, publish- ed in the Gazette.
Amongst the members who retired from Parliament at the General Election was Sir Thomas Sutherland, K.C.M.G., Chairman of the P. and O. Company.
The German transports Crefeld and Valdivia landed at Shanghai on Monday last 1,700 troops, who replace the two companies previous ly garrisoned, which were embarked for Taku.
The following promotion is notified by the Admiralty-Commander Robert H.J. Stewart to be Captain in Her Majesty's Fleet, with seniority of Sept. 6, 1900. Specially promoted for service in connection with the capture of the Taku Forts.
The report of the suicide of Yn n on the Hsie 22nd ult. is confirmed both from German and from Chinese sources. According to the Shang- hai Sui Wen Puo, he was driven to the act by the loss of his official position, the determina- tion of the foreign nations to compass his destruction, and the evident intention of the Chinese government to inflict punishment upon him. The Shen Pao gives a variation of the report, stating that the suicide was accomplish- ed by swallowing gold-leaf.
