Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 2S.-Re-
cent advices per steamer Tacoma
state: Pirates recently made a
raid upon the silk district OF Sal
chiu, and the people there are
agitating the substitution OF Bri.
fish for Chinese authority. The
condition of the two Kwang pro-
vinces has now for several years
been most disorderly, and a gen
eral feeling of insecurity, both of
life and property, has for long
been felt by that portion of the
population having anything to
lose. Piracies on the waterways,
armed robberies in the country,
end raids by bapditti even 10 the
large towns, have now become
constant, and criminals, waxing
holder with past successes, now
carry on their operations under
the very noses Of the chief officials
The extension by The pirates of
the sphere OF their operations to
vessels on the West river flying
foreign flags is likely, however, to
bring the condition of the pro-
vinces prominently before the
foreign powers.
