there might be war between thes-
two great powers. SO the talk goes
In Peru there is rebellion against
the government and a battle has
been in progress in Lima, the capital,
for three days-one or two cessation-
occurring to allow the warning
factions to care for the dea aud
wounded, aud remove dead hors :
from the streets. Eff cen hundred

The war between China and ia
pan still goes on, the japanese win
ming victories everywhere. When
the war began the Chinese Emperor
issued a command to his general t.
root the ptstilential Jsps of tn
earth" But the heathenlsm of tn,
Chinese could not withstand the
modern methods of wal fare in which
the laps have b, en- educated. China
is now suing for peace, AMI has COM
nissioned Ii Hung Chang, her
prime minister, as peace envoy with
full powers to treat with Japan.
Some of the demands of the Japa-
nese, as the price of peace are the
independence of Cores. extra terri
torial jurisdiction in China, the ces
sion of Formosa, possession of the
forts at the entrance TO the port Of

Japanese fanatic named koyama.

The wound was painful though the
Indications are that it will not prove
fatal. Chang is seventy-siNty years
old and is the greatest Chinaman
since the days of Confucius. On
account of the insult offered him
the Japs have arranged for a tenn
perary suspension of hostillties.
There is a considerable insurrec-

more. Since 1922 the Cubans, hav,
made FIVE efforts to throw of the
