authorities; he has sent histieet to Hong Kong,
where, In conjunction with the British Admiral
Ryder, he will demand instant satisfaction, or
blow the city abouttheir ears" .H
II the Inter- Oceans editor were little
better informed on the subject of which
he speaks SO vigorously, he would know
that HOVE KONG does not belong to
china; and that blowing that city about
anybody's ears would be large contract

case, the British Admiral Ryder would
probably be found on the other side OF
the question.
