The Negotiations with Jar

The exchange of visits passing between the Japanese Envoy, Mr. Maruta, and the Viceroy continues. I earn that Mr. Morat arrived at Amoy early last month on a special mission to enquire into the matter of the recent troubles at that port, and having complete! his investigations there zame on to Foochow to see the Viceroy about the ease. This Tam told an good authority is the sole object of his visit. The public however professes to know that a great deal more is going on, though how they can know anything ab all of wh passes in the interviews is a puzzle, seeing that no person is allowed to be present when the principals meet, excepting the Consul and the naval commander, and the doors of the chamfer are closed and guarded.
