CHAPTER XIII.

Still another expedition was destined
to start for Manila, and keen was the
rivalry among the regiments held to
daily drill at San Francisco. The rumor
was current in the camps that the next
review was to decide the matter, and
that the commands pronounced to be
foremost in discipline and efficiency
would be designated to embark. The
Z transports that had conveyed the ear
lier expeditions to the Philippines be-
gan to reappear in the bay, and coaling
and reftting were hurried to the ut

was Stanley Armstrong; and if merit
were to decide the matter it was con-

The Scandinavian nations, living and
moving, as it were, within the very
shadow of the Russian empire-that
great gobbler of nations-naturally
look to England for sympathy, if not
actual interference, in case Russia
should show symptoms of expansion
toward the northwest. King Oscar,
therefore, doubtless voiced the senti-
ment of majority of his subjects
when he delivered himself of the fol-
lowing pro-British utterances to a
newspaper reporter: "You may make
it quite clear that have no sympathy

FINLAND.

The cause of Finland is upheld in a
dignifed manner by leading jurists in
the different countries of Europe. Prof.
Westlake, of the National Review, re-
minds it's readers that Alexander l.
with his own hand struck out the pro-
posed words incorporated into; our
EMPIRE" and points out the revolu-
tionary and tyrannical character OF
the manifesto Of Feb. Is, 1899, and
later documents. Prof. Westlake also
>deprecates the attempts to force the
Russian language upon the Finlanders.
B. Getz, the attorney general of Nor
way, has contributed very clear-cut
dissertation on the subject. He enter
tains the hope that the firm, yet peace
full, stand taken by the Finnish peo-
pie may in the course of time convince
the czar that the constitutional rights
and the liberal institutions of Finland
are the safest bulworks of order and
general prosperity. Even the Ger
mans, though they have their Finland
in the form of South Jylland, depre-
cate the recent move against the rights
of Finland.
