sulates are to be established at several
points on the Pacific coast, among them

escape and retreated to Tongchow. In

pect to be set on fire as soon us the OPP
portunity comes. There seems to be q
well organized scheme which is being
slowly and surely carried out
Chinese Pirates ExtermInated.
The band of Chinese pirates in Hanoi
have been completely wiped out by tho
the French forces, but punishment
seems no deterrent to others as armed
attacks on villages are reported to be
very common. The whole southern
portion of China is in a state of turmoil,
as law and order are set at defiance, and
armed bands of plunderers make busi-
ness almost impossible.
Trouble at Canton Avoided.
Admiral BellSnap, commanding the
Asiatic squadron stationed at YolSo-
hama, received a telegram on July 4
from American Consul Seymour, at Cam
ton, that threatened troubles at that
place had been avoided, the presence Of
the warship Pigmy, in port, no doubt
contributing much TO that state of affairs.
Matters are not as quiet at other points,
however.

The viceroy of Nanking has issued q
proclamation stating that all avowed
members of the Koloa society, High
binder institution, will be executed. A.
proof of membership through informers
also means punishment by death.

mosa, is in very bad health and not ex-
pected to live long. 1t is believed his
death will be the signal for revolts and
a general uprising against Chinese rule.

the late Chinese riots Is one of dis
quietude, and foreign residents are not

pend business, was reopened July4.
