SITUATION Is SERIOUS.
Undoubtedly the situation in South
Africa is serious. IL resembles In many
respects Americas trouble with the
FiupinOs. We cannot expect TO crush

CANADIANS NOT SURPRISED.
The Canadian officers who returned
here from South Africa this week eX-
pressed NO surprise az the renewal Of
Boer successes. They only wondered
that they had not been greater The
Canadians. however, are unanimous In
expressing the belief that Gen. kitChe-
ner Is the right man 10 deal with the
form Of opposition now faced by the
British IN South Africa. Hardly any OF
the returning officers expressed cnti-
cism OF Lord Roberts even IN the face
of recent reyerses. The general feeling
towards the field marshal is well put

FILIPTNOS IN LONDON,
There is a noticeable incursion ofFlli-
pinos into London and Paris. The rec
port. subsequently denied that Ag0n-
clio. AuginaldO's agent IN Europe was
contemplating going 10 Hongkong 10
re-organize there the Filipino trans
port and re-supply the Filipinos with
munitions Of war, has given rise 10
the belief that the Fiipinos in Europe
are contemplating a new campaign. A
representative Of the Associated Press
has interviewed one Of the most prom
inent members of the European junta
who has just returned from Paris and
Madrid. He said
NO NEW FILIPINO CAMPAIGN.
I'VE are planning no new campaign
There is no reason why Agoncillo
should go TO Hongkong 70 give the
Filpinos further supply Of muni-
lions Of war The fact that Agoncillo
has Just leased a home In Paris shows
he Intends 10 remain there and watch
events. The reports Of our committees
at Kobe. Yokohama. Macao, Batavia,
Hongkong and Bangkok show they are
an working well This Is also evidenced
by the fact that ten thousand rifles
We're struggled into Manila last month.
The war is no nearer an end than ever
The Filipino resources are still great
as can be judged by the fact that
Aguinaldo is continuing to keep and
feed 3 900 Spanish prisoners
we are deeply disappointed az the
reelection Of Mr. Mckinley. Although
our agents In the United States never
led us TO believe Mr. Bryan would ac-
lively help us yet We relied on the
strength OF the anti-imperialists In the
United States We are still anxious TO
come 20 an understanding and there
are indications that Mr.. Mckinley
faVors a compromise, II Is clear that
Judge Taft goes beyond his instruc-
tons and that Mr.. Mckinley is pre-
pared 90 give greater concessions than
Judge Taft II is true that a large
number OF Fupinos are hocking 10
European countries. At least sixty are
now in London but not with the iief
OF renewed propaganda The junta
is content 20 wait TN the Americans
are tired OF losing officers and men by
death from sickness. We hope and be-
lieve better times are IN store"
LIPTON's SCHEMES.
Sir Thomas Upton recently has been
considering the proposal TO send the
Shamrock / into American waters FOR
series OF trial races with Shamrock
H. However while he Is anxious 70
give the new yacht every chance he
feels pledged 20 the Glasgow exhibition
committee 10 race the older boat In the
international match which the commit
tee has arranged 20 take place on the
CLYDE. He has decided 20 leave the de-
cision 90 Mr.. George !. Watson, who
has designed the new challenger for
the Americas cup. Therefore. Il Is I'M
possible that both boats viii cross the
Atlantic as Mr.. Watson only desired %
see how the new and old yachts COM
pare. and he believes this can be done
on the Clyde.
The only alterations yet made In the
Shamrock are 90 replace her corroded
plates. improve her sheer plates and
reduce draught IS inches 30 improving
her chances under the new British rule
(preparing) five, by which viii not now
be put into execution until the trial
races Of the Shamrock II have been
sailed.
