electric trolley system in Japan. The
officers of the ship report that the
plague has been almost stamped out
so far as ships are concerned.
Elaborate arrangements are being
made for the celebration of the re-
vised treaties coming into force on the
18th. This will not apply to France.
Austria and Italy, with whom the
treaties do not apply until Aug. 4.
United States Minister Buck has is
sued a proclamation calling ON all

Eastlake says the general impression
is that foreigners will be more lenient-
ly treated than the natives.

Otis management of the campaign.
but says he is overworked. The cap
tain recommends the pouring in of
troops enough to suppress the rebels.
He speaks in terms of the warmest
admiration of the American troops,
who, he says, have displayed the Ut
most GOODNESS and bravery. He brings
sensational report with reference to
the army of the Filipinos, saying that
the range of the Filipinos' rifles and
character of the wounds shows that
they are not Mausers. In the same
connection he gives currency to the
rumor that before the outbreak 4
Japanese firm in Toxic filled a large
order to the Filipinos for the deadly
Murata rifle, which has much longer
range than the American weapon. The
sale is alleged to have been consum-
mated secretly, without the knowledge
Of the japanese government. Strong
Indignation is expressed in Hongkong
over the reported withdrawal Of Great
Britain from Shamchim. 1t is said
that an indemnity of $4,000 was ac-
ceDted by Great Britain.
