tinus there could be awarded her. Indeed
the condition OF that country consequent
upon the war Is such that should japan
release her grasp upon II. or fail to con-
summate It's erection into q buffer State,
she viii have played right into
Russia's hands. This will be very appa-
rent upon little reflection: for the
condition noted would give Russia the
very best Of opportunities for Intriguing
in Korea through Manchuria and per-
petuating the semi-barbarism existing In
both these countries.
Aside. however, from these consldera-
lions. we have no contradiction OF the
statement that Great Britain is on the
side Of Japan and was privy to the
treaty. II Great Britaln's attitude Is
what 1t Is represented TO be. and 1t
would seem that that attitude Is to her
interest. II may be accepted az fore
gone conclusion almost that the treaty
will stand.
That Russia should threaten. ma
noeuvrs. intrigue, and endeavor TO form
combinations with view Of revising the
treaty and cheating Japan out OF her
spells Is perfectly natural. All the re-
suits Of the war so far are against her
interests But that she will go further
than this we do not expect and her talk
about resort to force may be regarded
as nothing more than one OF her usual
bullying expedients. Powerful as she
Is Il would be very hazardous for her
to engage in q war against japan while
the latter has the support OF England
The seat OF hostilities would be nearly
5000 miles from her capital. Japan has
shown that she Is an enemy not 70 be de-
spised by any western nation. and Eng

naval power in the world. could rapidly
draw heavy land forces from india.
Whatever. therefore. may be the ru-
mors from st. Petersburg regaroing
Russ,a's intentions 1t may be set down
as pretty certain that II an understanding
has been arrived at between Great br''aih
and japan Russia will get cold comfort
for her trouble. But In any event we ma!
expect some very interesting diplomatic
fencing. as II Is not probable that 'he
lion will show his claws except as u 'as'

There can be little doubt that history
will repeat itself In the present Cuban
instruction, or rebellion. The govern
ment will triumph In the end. However.
II Is very evident that General campos,
who is charged with restoring order. has
more serious task before him than
was at first supposed. Disaffection has
developed at unexpected points en- the
island. and the insurgents are much better
organized than the home government was
led TO think they were. 1t may therefore
be necessary to send from Spain 10 the
island q good many more troops before
campos scores another triumph as a
