I went to visit the Japwese contingent the other day. An officer showed me very Kindly over every part of the camp. The Japanese camp consists of a large godown anil a few Chinese houses, and is ax much as tivo and a-half miles east of the Garden Bridge. The godown is used for dwell purposes, and the Chinese houses are devoted to other objects. The which is built of rough bricks in th storeys, is so situated that communications with men-of-war or merchant ships are very ensy and convenient, and the view is so open and delightful that it helps to udd to the happiness of the men's life. On the western side lies a wide, level square, used swith advanbige for mancouvring and as a place where the men can walk after evening quarters.
Tu the upper storey of the godown there are the officers' rooms and there is space where the sailors can be given lessons in gunnery, torpedo management, seamanship, ete. All the men live on the second storey, while pro ions, ammunition, and several other things are kept in good order below.
At eight o'clock in the morning the men go to learn their lessons. In the afternoon some are allowed to go out on leave till four o'clock, to bathe, or to fence; others are sent to field manceuvres lasting till half-past three o'clock, The conduct and character of the men are carefully attended to, and at times they are warned and exhorted not to misbehave and s0, even by trifling acts, give great trouble to the authorities.
Phe officer said that the force was here to protect everyone against all enemies, for the common good, for Europeans a5 much as for Japanese, and he said any people who wished to visit the camp trould be welcomed, and shown every part that could be visited. As there are no lessons or other engagements on Thursday and Sunday afternoons, those times are most suitable for callers.
The cump was formed on the 9: h of September list yeu, and it is not expected that it will break up for a few mouths more.
