AMERICA IN the EAST.
Paris Papers Accurately Size Up Our Futu,
Position in the World.

Paris, Aug. 19.-The American posi-
ton in the Far East is attracting
great attention. The Soleil says:
THE Americans will quadruple the
value of the Philippines and Manila
will become the rival of Hong Kong.
The United States will have a prepon-
derating situation in Chinese waters.
There is no market they desire more
eagerly than the Chinese and though
they have been forstalled by other
powers. they will assuredly overtake
their rivals by the rapidity of their
progress in that region and in the COM
ing break up of the Chinese empire,
the United States will not be content
with the worst fortunes for their her.

France upon the role of peacemaker,
recognizes the fact that it is not al
ways 4 good thing to put finger be-
tween the hammer and anvil. The
Temps says:
1.-The United States will not hear a
word of intervention; and France has
no interests in compromising herself
gratuitously with country evidently
destined for a more active part in
great international affairs. 1t would
be artqess to count overmuch on Span
ish gratitude. Therefore the French
watchword should be 'Messeurs Point
