BRITISH POLICY IN CHINA
STATElEENT IN HOUSE OF COMwONs
 BY MR. BALFOUR.

NcSaFhS shah-AunS He Satds "We
 Must Treat Germany as We Expect
 Her to Treat Us"-Referring to Russia
 He Said He Saw No Necessity for Tak-
 ing Pessinistic View of the Situation
 A Confession of Weakness.
 London, Aug. 1O.-In the house of commons to-day MT. Balfour, in speak, ing for the government regarding shan Tung, said: We must treat Germany as we expect her to treat us''
 Referring to Russia, MT. Balfour said that he saw no necessity for taking pessimistic view of the situation, and he would be surprised if the British concessionaries did not get their full share.
 MT. Balfours speech appears to have been intended as a statement of the governments policy in China, which the opposition has been demanding be- fore the close of parliament. He did not enter into details of the complica- tions, and the drift of his explanation was that the governments critics ex- pected impossibilities.
 During the course of his remarks MT. Balfour said that 1t could not be pre- tended that the British empire, alone or in alliance with another empire, could prevent the legitimate development of other commercial and military empires. MT. Balfour then said: Though we may not anticipate maintaining our old relative superiority in China, it is ex- pected that the volume of British trade will increase as rapidly in the future as in the past. The question of equal fa- cilities of trade is distinct from the question of concessions.''

Belief fn Madrid That Orders Have

 Madrid, Aug. 10,-El Heraldo says that Duke Almodvar de Rio, the foreign minister. has received from Washington dispatch, forwarded through Paris, ill which M. Cannbon the French ambas- sador at Washington, announces that he has handed Spain's note to President Mckinley. M. Cambon," says Fl Her aldo, ''gives the impression that Pres- ident Mckinley, under reserve and sub- ject to the opinion of his council and secretaries, accepts the contents of the note, to which Madrid will not have to reply before Thursday. The ministers believe that orders already have been issued suspending hostilities in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines" The government denies that the Spaniards attacked the American camp near Ma nila on the night of July 31.

JAPAN MAY ASSIST REBELS
I REPORTED OFFER TO THE
 PHILIPPINE JUNTI,

Japanese Naval Officers Asserted That
 They Were Authorized to Offer to
 Supply General Aguinaldo With Arms
 and Ammunition Gratis In the Event
 of America Abandoning the Philip-
 pines-American Consul Notified.
 London, Aug. 1.-The Hong Kong correspondent of the Daily Mail says: "A delegation from the Philippine jun ta has informed United States Consul Wildman here that certain officers of the Japanese cruisers Matsushima and Takasako which have since gone to Manila, had conference with the jun ta last Saturday, in the course of which they asserted that they were author ized by the Japanese government to offer to supply General Aguinaldo with arms and ammunition gratis in the event of the Americans abandoning the Philippines and the insurgents wishing to fight for independence The junta did not reply to the offer and the Jap anese will repeat it to General Aguin- aldo on their arrival at Manila.
 General Merritt will defer his final movement until the arrival of the Monadnock at Manila. As he cannot rely on the insurgents, he wishes to have troops enough to police the city, for it is feared there will be trouble with Aguinaldo. Father McKinnon, chaplain of the First California regi- ment, narrowly escaped being struck by Spanish shell when riding to meet the archbishop of Manila with a view of persuading him of the hope lessness of further resistance"

CONFESSIONS OF 4 JURYmAN.
Expresses Satisfaction That Gandints
 Sentence Was Commutet.

A letter was received yesterday after noon by eX-Senator T. J. Fox from a member of the jury which early in the summer convicted Giuseppe Gandini of murder in the first degree, in which the writer expresses his satisfaction at the action of the state board of pardons in committing Gandinis sentence to im- prisonment for life. It will be remem- bered that Gandini was charged with killing Peter Coquieo in Stony Creek last spring. The accused is an old man and said that he killed Coquieo because the latter owed him money and refused to pay it and assaulted him. Much sympathy was expressed for Gandini after he was convicted and sentenced to be executed, and many people in Branford who knew him to have been a very peaceable and inoffensive old fellow interested themselves in his be- half and used their influence to secure his pardon, among those so interesting themselves being Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Gandini was defended by MT. Fox, who also appeared in his behalf before the board of pardons. The letter received by him from the juryman is as fol- lows:

London, Aug. 1.-The Washington correspondent of the Daily Mail says: "Spain's acceptance of American peace conditions was so equivocal that Presi- dent Mckinley determined to compel assent to protocol fixing definite terms and the answer given to M. Cambon practically amounted to an ultimatum. It is understood that unless the proto- col is signed at once all negotiations will be suspended and the war vigor- ously continued. The United States will not abate it's terms by an iota.''

MT. T. J. Fox, New Haven, Conn. :-
 the Board of Pardons has committed the sentence of Giuseppe Gandinl. Please ac- cept my congratulations; you have made 2 noble fight for the poor old chap, and myself, l am more glad than I can tell you. for I've been feeling that if the poor old man was hung I should be nearly as much of a murderer as your brother Williams (whom your plucky fight has balked). l believe I am us much pleased over this communication as you are yourself; in fact, as the youngsters say, Pm most tickled to death.
 Trusting that you will believe that though jurors are often bul-headed enough to stick to the letter of the law, some of them do with reluctance at times when law and mon humanity exercised by those who have the power. I remain, very sincerely,
