LoNDoN, Jan. 27,-Mail advices from
English residents give n different &C
cunt of the action of the Germans dur
ing the recent trouble in Cameron's ter
ritory from those heretofore MADE pub-
lie through the telegraph. Tho trouble
originated between trader of German
nationality and natives, who finally dis
embOweled the German and cut of his
head, when the German mau-Ot-war in-
sugurated the bombardmont as pun
isbu.eut upon tho natives for the
atrocity. No attention was paid
TO the rights Of foreign residents
at the mission. Several houses belong
ing TO and occupied by English traders
and missionaries were demolished. One
of the British subjects was severely
wounded. When the Germans landed
they searched indiscriminately all
premises, no matter by whom occupied,
for refugees and arms. In this search
the residence of the British vice-consul
was ruthlessly invaded, despite his pro-
test, and in many cases English resi-
dents and missionaries were compelled
to submit to search Mt the point of the
pistol.

discussing the tragic death OF Mr.. Wells
and eagerly seeking information from

The affairs OF the bank, also of the sus-

exceedingly difficult To be obtained,
well informed. The doors Of
tho Island City Savings bank
were not opened this morning
except to admit officers OF the court
bearing fresh patches OF attachments.
At6 o'clock this evening attachments
aggregating $4,000 had been
papers of tho bank. These attachments
are run by certain dcpositors whose ac-
counts range from $500 TO 5000. Each
bank was doing business under a char
