TROUBLES In THE ORIENT.
Serious Insurrection Has Broken Out at
Nadoa- Presbyterian Property Used
for Defenses-French In


New York, Aug. a5.-A special to the
Herald from Hongkong says:
A serious insurrection has broken out
of Nadoa, in the interior of Hainan. The
American missionaries and native con-
verts have sought refuge in safe terri
tory.
On August IA the rebels fought the
soldiers, who used the American Pres
byterian property as defenses, and re-
PEELED the attack.
Nadoa is 80 miles from Hoisow, one
of the richest valleys of the island.
Unless the revolt is speedily sup
pressed, the insurgents will probably be
REINFORCED by refugees from Kwangsi,
where the officials are coping with the
recent rebellion.
Should it not be suppressed there viii
be an opportunity for French interfer-
ence. French are using vigorous meas
ures to protect the native Christians
near Kwang Chow Wan, and extending
their influence in southern China, which
at present is very disturbed.
