ENGLAND's sympathy might /
safely transferred from Africa to Al
menia.
THE Morrison boom is on the il
crease. He is the Western man tn;
we all have been looking for.
For a "hyiug squadron" that Bri
ish fleet seems to be even less speed
than Lord Dunraven's yacht.
IT is reported that Jameson will

ment at the hands of Laureate Aust
about fitted the crime.
THE first sign in Cuba of barbarol
warfare-which is to say Spanish wal
