is as binding as any definite treaty Of
peace.
1t was such a protocol as this that
was signed by President Theirs anl
Prince Bismarck TO terminate the
Franco-Prussian war, and the condI-
tions therein laid down were not even
subject to revision at the hands of the
peace commission that followed. Many
details remain TO be agreed upon which
are not even referred to in the protocol.
Such of these as relate to purely naval
subjects will be referred to a milltar.,
commission. This commission may en-
counter some difficulty in making

Cuba and Porto Rico and the militart

ORIENTAL A0VICES.
Chinese Rebels Have Defeated the I'm
pcrial Troops.

Tacoma. Aug. 12-The Oriental
steamer Victoria, arriving here to-day
brings the following Oriental advices:
Inhabitants of Wuchow are in a state
of terror over the uprising in Southern
China and are sending their women
away with valuables. The rebels have
defeated the imperial troops, inflicting
heavy losses, placed in some quarters
as high as 1.500. The chiefs of the re-
bellion proclaim they are freeing the
people from the Manchu dynasty,
which has ruled over them for upwards
of 250 years. The rebels expect to form
an alliance with the Black Flag chief.
Several versions of the trouble are
given, a Chinese version being that in
one of the villages Of the Yung district.
where one-third of the populace were
Catholics and the others pagans, the
former threatened the holy and attempt
ed to convert the ancestral hall of the
village into a church. The pagans OBJ
jected and a fight ensued in which the
Christians were worsted. The native
magistrate, named Kom. sided with the
Catholics to avoid foreign complications.
He was seized by the opposition, carried
into the mountains and murdered This
was the signal for a general outbreak
Another version gives the cause as an
attempt of an official to mulct a phil
anthropist who had donated supplies
to the poor. The officials action en-
ragged the people. All accounts agree
that the trouble is very serious

The governor innocently explained they
were bodies of prisoners sent him from

some $50 of them were ordered out to
be shot as the easiest way out of the
difficulty.
An Englishman who recently visited
the rebel camps near Cavite. says the
rebels are cruelty treating Spanish pris-
oners. They are said to be fed on moth

In accordance with the presidents
proclamation, suspend Immediately all

The notification to Admiral Dewey
was not made public. but Assistant Sec
retary Allen stated that besides being in
possession of the Presidents proclama-
tion, he was ordered to cease hostilities
and raise the blockade at Manila.
In compliance with the orders sent
Admiral Sampson and Commodore

THE FAR EASTERN GAME
An Offensive Alliance Between
Russia and China.
THE WAR DOGS GROWING
The Northern Bear Is Owen a Prepon-
derating Influence in Commercial
and Internal Policies-Eng-
land Indignant.

London. Aug. 13.-The morning papers
express the growing Indignation of the
country at the position of affairs in
China. The Daily Graphic says: "If
this state of things continues the guns
will go off themselves"
The Shanghai correspondent OF the
Daily Mail, who processes to divulge
the terms of long existing secret al
lance between China and Russia, says:
1T is nothing less than an offensive al
lance. China undertakes to regard
Russia as having a preponderating in
fiuence on all questions of commercial
and internal policies, while Russia will
support China against all open door'
demands. Russia will assist China in
developing her military and naval
forces and China will cooperate with
Russia as an ally"
The French press comments gieefully
upon the situation and the newspapers
OF Berlin and Vienna are at no pains
to hide their satisfaction at the discom-
future of England. The continental
press regards the project of an Anglo
American alliance as chimericaL These
consider that the United States has had
enough of war for the present and will
not care to give Great Britain anything
more than moral support in China
Therefore, they argue, England is not
likely to pick a quarrel with Russia,
but will content herself with seeking
compensation elsewhere.
The Chronicle, in an editorial which
reflects the general opinion of the Lon
don morning papers, comments on the
fact that the Marquis Of Salisbury and
all the responsible officials are leaving
London at such a critical moment.
II says: The curtain is deliberately
dropping upon a scene of national hu-
initiation and national Indignation"
