March 4th.—The Governor of Shantung reports that a Kiangsu junk was wrecked on the promontory last October. The master sought the protection of the coastguard and salvage officer, who however, put him off with excuses, the result being that the cargo of £0,000 pieces of cotton goods and the junk's fittings were all stolen by the people of the neighbourhood. These officers have since recovered the trifling amount of 720 pieces of cotton goods. The Governor notices the audacity of such proceedings just after the Pantuh case had. occurrer not far away, eand states that he has given strict orders to have the property recovered and the offenders arrested.
