CHINESE CUSTOMS
} GRAVE INTERFERENCE. CONSULAR BODY WARNED. (Received 11.33 a.m.) CANTON, February 21. The Commissioner of Customs after repeated previous warnings, informed | the superintendent and consular body ! that until the Strike Committee refrains from interfering with cargo between ship and shore and returns cargo previously withdrawn ' from Customs examination and control; large quantities of fcvhich include contraband already illicitly disposed of, all shipments of outward cargo will cease from February 22. The strike Committee’s action, he says, is a flagrant infraction of all treaties between China and the Powers, and unless this is disavowed by the local government the latter must be assumed to bo identical with the former.—Reuter.
