The following telegrams are from the " Hongkong Daily Press"
Tientsin, 8th March.
The case of the deportation of Mr. John Cowen, Editor of the " China Times,"
isos interest in this port. The states that the sentence was passed without Mr. Cowen being given a trial, with no evidence adduced, and no defence allowed.
The war correspondents in Manchuria have telegraphed their congratulations to Mr. Cowen for the stand he has made, on behalf of the freedom of the Press.
Singapore, 11th March.
Incoming vessels report sighting four warships off Pulo Way using their searchlights.
[Pulo Way is the Dutch coaling-station off the North-western Sumatran coast. It is of course not unlikely that these warships may be Dutch, as Holland has concentrated her East Indian fleet since the war broke out.—Ep. "D.P."]
