England Preparing to send ships
to Chinese Waters

LONDON, Sept. 6.-In response TO the
demands of the press to strengthen the
British feet in Chinese waters COM
munication has been issued by the Ad-
miralty stating that it is preparing to de-
spatch several corvettei and composite
sloops to China. The Army and Navy
Gazette, however, declares that the Ad-
miralty is trying to throw dustin the eyes
OF the public to conceal the fact that
there is no single vessel ready to send
through the Suez canal that would be
able to sustain an attack by the weakest
French ironclad under Admiral Courbett.
II there was o ship ready it says the
Admiralty would be unable to man her
without calling on reserves or forcing
crews at foreign stations to remain bs.
yond their term of service. The Gazettc
asserts that England ia in position Of
such utteS naval collapse as will take
years to rchedy. 1t Is reported that
Chinese agents In Glasgow, Liverpool
and London are trying to arrange pri.
vateer commissions with the object OF
preying on French commerce.
Vanity Fair publishes o memorandum
which General Gordon prepared for the
chinese government In 1880, on the
power Of China to make privateer war,
Gordon lays the stress on the legal neces.
sity that q privateer must start under

The report that subjects Of England
and Germany in the Chinese service

OF those two countries is declared un.
true.
