Tokio, Dec. 28.
Koki Oyama, nephew of the late Field Marshal Prince Oyama, has been sentenced to three years' imprisonment for attempting to sell to foreigners secret military maps which were stolen from the Russian Survey Department at Habarovsk. His accomplice Sekizawa was sentenced to two years' imprisonment,. but sentence was suspended. Reuter. up and down. Needless to say the captain is not a foreigner, Mais Bapiy Asrray.
Rumours are rife hereabouts about another attempt to restore the monarchy, but nothing definite has been received. Mails are fairly regular but there seem to be a lot of them piled up down river somewhere. Magazines of two months different date come to hand by the same mail, and parcels which started out from home over a year ago show up after being given up for lost. It speaks well in many ways for the Chinese Postoffice that much more mail matter has not been lost or gone astray.
