To the Editor of the "Nonra-Catva Datny News." nan correspondent says the Coronation was duly rejoiced over at the British Consulate" (on the 26th June), but he omits to add the very portant fact that the telegram announcing the King's illness, owing to an interruption of the telegraph line, did not reach Hainan until the morning of 29th June.
On the 26thJune no-oncin Hainan knew that the King was ill, and I feel sure that there is no-one in the island of any nation~ ality who, had he known, would have had the disloyalty or indecency to "rejoice" at such a time, Tam, T. C, WERNER, H. B. M. Consul.
