Eagle, in consequence of the • piracy, reconnoitred Shantung coast to-day in the vicinity of the spot where it is believed the bandits landed. The result is not know at present. The British firm which operates the line to which the Shunticn belongs has announced that in future it will not accept Chinese passengers other than Government officials and merchants known for a long time to the company. Foreign circles are highly indignant over the latest outrage, and the North China Daily News suggests that China could, without loss of dignity, consent to British and Japanese naval action for the purpose of destroying once and for all these pirate haunts, which are a continual source of danger to shipping.
