The island contains but two towns, New
Gerona'on the north coast, and Santa Fe
in the centre. The former numbers some
zoe inhabitants: the latter $50 persons.
The entire population Of the island is about
20O0. The capital is New Corona. In fact
il is the only town. and Santa Fe fifteen
miles distant is officially "A suburb. Capt
Foltz recommends that the towns be made
officially Independent OF each other as
Santa Fe possesses a port at Jucaro, seven
miles distant. Such a course, he thinks.

China Turns at Last.

Victoria, B. c., May 17.-Ac-
cording to news received by the
Empress of India, China, will re-
sist further aggression by the
Powers. That China intends to
oppose the advance of Germany
in the north is shown by the fact
that recently orders were sent TO
the Mandarins and Taotos of all
districts and provinces ordering
them to concentrate what fight
ing men they could and prepare
for war. The arsenals have been
ordered to push forward the manu-
facture of arms and ammunition
with all haste. A late edict
places Viceroy Liu in charge of
the people. The Chinese navy
also, according to late reports, is
getting ready for an emergency.
Trouble has occurred recently
in Shan Tung, and German mis-
sionaries have been ill treated.
Germany is sending expeditions
to punish the natives, burning
villages and gradually pushing
her. inward until very shortly
she will have possession of the
whole province.
The Kobe Herald says that the
German plan is to establish a
German kingdom with Prince
Henry as ruler, as previously y
stated in Pekin dispatches.

Both Magistrate and Groom Dis

There was disappointment all
around on Wednesday night at
the residence of Magistrate Cas-.

notice during the day 70 hold
himself in readiness to perform
very important ceremony, that
night. Of course there was no
idea but what everything would
turn out alright and a number of
young people gathered to wit
ness the ceremony. But, the
bride and groom did not show up.
The magistrate, however. was
badly disappointed, but is still

on him. The disappointment
must have been hard, as one of
