by the Splendid and Valparaiso.

potentiary, respecting the recent riot and desruC
ton of the British factories at Canton The British
Penipotentiary considers the Chinese as having
been provoked by the Lascars, belonging to British
ships, and throws the blame therefore, Of the occur

restraining the crevs of their vessels. The mer-

PUBLIC CORRESPONDENCE DISASTROUS EVENTS IN
CANTON ON THE 7TH AND sTH DEC. 1912.
| HIS ExcELLENcy 1T. GEN. SrR HUGH GousH -
SIR-The undersigned. British merchants in Canton
having met to deliberate their present position, beg
leave respectfully to submit that enquiry OF the Chinese
leads them to believe that the recent attack the To-
reign factories the result of pre-arranged deermi
nation Of the mob assisted and influenced It is supposed
by parties averse to apprehended foreign innovations and
as the local authorities avowedly unab., for
siderable time 10 quellhe disturbance and did not in TACT
and property forced the conclusion that the Br
fish community cannot be considered safe in their houses
In Canton without eclent protection from their own Go
vernment on the spot.
Although the local authorities have placed consider.
able number osodiers to guard the factories. do net
consider that they be depended upon in Of
her rising people, and others represent condera
BILE bodies Of to be still assembled in the city and
neghborhood of Canton, from whom another attack
at any moment take place.
Under these circumstances, beg leave respectfully
to solicit your Exceency to allow the steamer Prose
pine to remain in front OF the factories should such
rangemsnt be possible at any rate until some commu
nication may be received from H. MS Plenipotentary,
dtnn pTrr tha
| tentions for further security.
The reply of Lieut.. Gen. Cough states that he
would accede to their request granting the protection
OF the steamer and that he had from the Chi
nese authorities that tranquility should
be preserved; but doubling their ability, recon-
mends the merchants to be on their guard and to
forbear from anything that may tend to a collision
| with the popuace
Trade was necessarily in precarious condition,
in consequence of the unsettled state OF affairs and
nothing would be done until the course of the Br-
fish minister was known.
The Canton Register of the Goth OF December,
contains two Imperial edics relating to the treaty
and the duties consequent upon it, but they present
nothing of importance, unless it be an indication
that his Imperial Majesty intends to fulfil, in good
faith, all that has been stipulated.
| No other news of consequence.
