THE ORIENTAL WAR
JAPANESE REFUSED.

London, Nov. 15.-The Times tomor-
NOR will publish Il dispatch from Tien
Tsin that General Mich reports that he
was attacked ut Malien Lung. Nov. II
by the Japanese troops and that he sue
ceeded in repulsing them. The Chinese
general adds that the japanese made Il
second attack upon the position he occu-
pied on Nov. ,, but it appears the Japa-
nese were again repulsed and the Chi
nese pursued them towards Flung Wang.
which General Mich expected to reach
soon after sending his report.
The similarity between this reported
defeat OF the Japanese and the defeat
that they are said to have sustained ut
Maticn. ON the road to Pekin, would
make il appear that the two engagements
may be Identical.
GREAT BRITAIN'S OFFERS RE
SCENTED,
Yokohama, Nov. 1J.-Newspapcrs hl y
resent Great Britain's offer of intCrven-
ton. which they regard entirely as Il
movement in behalf of China. They add
that Great Rritain's influence in the east
will be in jeopardy by this offer, which
wounds Japanese feelings. Newspapers
in this city say that the defenses of Port
Arthur are reported to be stronger on the
land side than on the sea front. The ia
pancse expect that if the Chinese make
any defense the assault will be bloody.
PREPARING a CONSTITUTION.
Chcmulpo, Corea, Nov. 15.-Govcrn-
ment officials who have pro-Japan feelings
are engaged preparing constitution
which will be promulgated in 1895. A
number of Corean soldiers who have
been sent against Tong Haks have joined
the rebels whose numbers are increasing
daily. The country south of Seoul is in
Il state of great turmoil.
Tien Tsin. Nov 15.-The present where
abOuts of the Chinese army, defeated ut
Lien Cheng, is unknown here. Col. Won

Since my letter announcing that the Heines
had given their first concert, we have had the
pleasure of attending two others, the last
having taken place last evening. Wherever
this talented musical family have been, and
they have travelled extensively-the press
has sail 80 much in their praise that can add
nothing. Whether we listen to Madame
Heine's brilliant performance on the piano.
to Miss Evelyn Heine's sweet voice in opera
tic selections or in simple ballad, or to Mr..
Josef Heine's marvellous execution on the
violin, they separately or collectively, afford
the most pleasurable enjoyment, and when
the curtain falls we sigh for more. Nor must
we forget GU. old friends Wallack and Rider
who have made lis roar with laughter in
their inimitaDle rendering Of comic songs or
in farce aud comedy.
Having been notifed that thesteamer Quart
Castle Will not arrive before Thursday. the
Company has been prevailed upon to give
another concert tomorrow evening (Wednes-
day 30th) and Il see from the hand bills that
the prices of admission are so ceuts for re-
served, and 25 cents for back seats, 50 at such
popular pric es see no reason why we should
not give them a full house. I also take this
opportunity of wishing the Company bon

Christiaasted, St. Cceix
Wednesday, 3Oth May 1894.

We continue to-day Mr.. Barber's account
of the results of his visit to Barbados 10
study the fungus which has recently attacked
the canes there. 1t is evident that the sub
iect is a difficult one, and can only DO
handled, with any approach to accuracy, oy
an expert. Yet at the same time, 1t IS one
of such great Importance, that every planter
in the country which may be affected by the
disease SHOULD know something about 1T.
1t is. therefore. no matter Of surprise that
Mr.. Thistleton Dyer of Kew gardens, IN q
CORES pondence with the Governor OF Barbados
OH the subject, published in the Barbados
papers, suggests the appointment OF q COM
petent man we'll up in the local ~oondrlons'
to study the subject on the spot
and watch the course of the disease.
He also recommends tina. diseased canes
should be destroyed by burning, and all pre-
cautions taken not to spread the disease 70
unaffected fields, that badly infected pieces
should DO cropped with some other (not gra-
mineous). plant, and that there should De a
central station started for supplying planters
with plant tops of guaranteed healthlness.
We notice that Mr.. Thistleton Dyer's
opinion about the disease differs totally IN one
very important particular from MI. BARRIERS;
Mr.. Barber has found the disease in several
islands. and thinks that it can be no new lntrO-
duction while Mr.. ThisletOn Dyer, OIL the
other hand, says that there Is no evidence OF
it's existence prior to 1892, and thinks IL
likely that it is a new introduction. ne
therefore looks upon its appearance as d
most serious matter, calling for the utmost
vigilance and energy i'll dealing with II"
Which of the two opinions is correct IL
the latter then we NAV be on the verge OF
a great calamity in the West indies; II tn9
former, then we have only to deal with an old
enemy made powerful for the time by pass

What we have written above refers to the
fungus which attacks the stem OF the plant,
and which appears to be by far the most seri-
GUS Of the diseases affecting the canes in Bar
bados. The part of Mr.. BARRIERS report which
we publish to-day refers, not to this, but to
another disease, attacking the roots iof the
cane. 1t appears not to be SO well understood
as the other, or, as Mr.. Barber puts it, it is a
less tangible affair. That it also should have
been Aonrishing last year, and besides it, the
cane fly and the white blight, strengthens
our suspicion that the appearance of the stem
fungus, is not a case of invasion, but a case of
encouragement of an old enemy which has
been lying dormant, has only been awakened
by special conditions, and is soon to become,
let us hope, dormant again.
