BRITISH STEAMER SEARCHED
CHINESE GUNBOAT'S ACT. RUSSIAN OFFICER IN CHARGE. CANTON, October 14. While the British steamer Fatshan was en route from Hongkong to Canton, and was passing Chueuti Point, she obeyed a signal from a Chinese gunboat to drop anchor. An officer and a civilian, in the gunboat's launch, boarded the Fatshan. They asked her destination, the nature of her cargo, and whether she had arms or ammunition aboard. Before they left they examined all the baggage of the Chinese and foreign passengers, also the stores for the Shameen and foreign gunboats. The visitors volunteered the information that their chief aboard the gunboat was a Russ ; an named Seminoff, with the rank of vice-admiral. The Fatshan was then allowed to resume her voyage.— (Reuter-)
