The gravest developments threaten as a result of the disappearance of the Vice-Consul, Mr Kuramoto, whose wife says he was lately being shadowed. The Chinese Government is making every effort to clear up the mystery, and is offering a substantial reward. Japanese warships are rapidly assembling at Nanking.
