WILL PORTUGAL SMASH CHINA?
The Job Is Not So Easy as In the
Days of Vasco de Gaima

Hong Kong. Nov. 21.-Advices from
Macao say that the Chinese continue
TO insist that Portugal has practically
made a remuneration of sovereignty,
and have raised the Chinese flag Deer
the colony and are levying taxes.
The authorities are preparing to re-
sist the Portuguese claim by force if
necessary, and are installing a wire

sula.
A report from Lisbon that the Por-
tuguese government had decided to
send q number of warShips to Macao
is not given credence by the Chinese,
who claim that only the gunbOat Pa
tria is coming. 1t is probable that
the matter will be made a subject of
conference between the Chinese and
Portuguese authorities.
The natives are said to be ready for
an outbreak against the Portuguese

Whether he will advise them to go

mere general opinion seems to be that
he will do nothing of the sort. A Tam
many lawyer who served his appren-

today:
Those who look to see Croker step

street are way off on heir calcula-

says when he declares that he is out
of politics. Murphy has the organiZa-

course. and some day they may kick
hard enough and long enough to get
him out But as it stands there is
blessed little chance of sentiment
