WAR IN CHINA.
Courbet's Plans-Chinese OPP
eratiOns in Tonquin Suspended.

LONDON, Sept. l6.
A Hong Kong despatch to the Times says
that Admiral Courbet's plan of campaign is
now supposed to be to flank Kelung and march
up to Tamsui, thus forcing the Chinese army
southwark, where the hill tribes are hostile.
The despatch states that their campaign will
probably be failure, as a Thousand troops
from Tonquin will be inadequate to take
Kelung, and the road to Tamsui is a mere
ravine. The French have bought two
launches at Hong Kong. The Chinese have
ordered eight launches capable of carrying
eight one ton guns. The Chinese operations
in Tonquin have been suspended.

the home government to make an effort to
procure settlement of the difficulties be-
tween France and China by meditation.
Tso Tsung Tang. the Chinese general, has
left Pekin for Tien Tien, where he will hold
a military consultation.
Admiral Courbet has estimated that his
bombardment of the arsenal near Foo Chow
and of the forts along Min river did damage
to the amount of $l0,000,000.
PARIS, Sept 16.
The Temps publishes a letter sent by the
Chinese commander at Lang Son 70 Col.
Dugenne, commander of the French forces

nese promised to evacuate the town as soon

STEAMER IN TROUBLE.
The Eolus of the WEXFORD Line Breaks
Part of Her Machinery While on
Her Trip TO Newport.


PROVIDENCE, II. L., sept. 10
Steamer Eolus of the WEXFORD Line for
Newport, broke part of her machinery while
on trip to Newport Monday night She did
not reach that city until five o'clock this
morning. Mr. and Mrs. George Peabody
.Wetmore and Mayor and Mrs. W, B. Wet
more were taken off the Eolus by one of
Commodore Luce's steam launches, but
large number of persons were on the boat
and we're distressed at having to remain out
all night
LAGER.-It seems that the Wetmore family
did not gain the advantages sought by trans
fer TO the government steam launch. They
left the Eolus before midnight and when the
launch had steamed away it was discovered
that her supply of water and coal was insuffi-
cient to carry her to Newport, and it very soon
was a case of drift with her. Meantime dawn
broke and when the Eolus arrived at Newport
and il was found the Wetmore party had not
arrived. the New Hampshire, large launch,
was sent in search of them. One launch
secured the bay and finally found the smaller
boat off Bullock Point, about thirteen miles
up the bay.
