The trouble arising out of the riot between Cantonese and Hunan soldiers "7 Canton has been settled after some difficulty, and the shops in the district which had vone on strike have resumed business. The Viceroy, it seems, despatched theNamhoi magistrate to the scene, and he advised the kaifeng (people) to reopen their shops. This they agreed at length to do, after the magistrate had undertaken t" dismiss 17 Hunanese soldiers, to pay the wounded Cantonese soldier a douceur of $60, to compensate the people of the shop with which the bomb was connected for the arrest of their shopman, and to distribute crackers among all the shops in the neighbourhood. Peace is now secured between the two military factions but how long it will continue it is impossible to say.
