Anping, 8th September.
Just as foreign merchants were congra: tularing themselves upon the prospect of renewing business in. camphor, news comes that the compradore of a British firm has been arrested by the military authorities at, Hoonim. It appears that the man was provided with a pass from the civil authorities at Taulak, authorising him to make arrangements for the removal of his employer's. camphor. H.M, Consul has wired to Taipeh for an explanation. Passports are now obtainable for Hoonim but communication with Chipchip is for-hidden on the ground that the locality is still unsafe. During the more recent troubles of Paulisia it transpired that the Japanese burnt seventeen villages. Many of the unfortunate people escaped tothe mountains, but some died. of starvation, while others, venturing too close to the savage territory, were murdered by the aborigines.—Diily Press.
