Wu Ta-cheng, ex-Governor of Hunan, is a man of crafty and false character, addicted to vaingloriousness and empty boasting. He is, therefore, hereby cashiered and dismissed for ever from the public service.
Note:—Although the above-named offi-
Japan his disinterested patriotism in' resigning his comfortable post as Governor of Hunan to volunteer: the hardships of soldiering, [he was on his defeat by the Japanese by clemency of the Emperor allowed to retire from the public service without the loss of his rank nnd titles. Advantage has now been, taken to bring home his previous boastings as to what he was going to do in Manchuria, owing to his well-known friendship with Wong Tung-ho, who is not only Wu's fellow provincial but also his teacher.—Ep. N.-0. Daily Nous.
