A very, complete, review of the situation is given in the extracts from a Japanese newspaper of this city which wa reproduce elsewhere. The duration of the struggle is still matter of uncertainty, but the ultimate discomature of the insurgente is seriously questioned by nobody. Retainers of the ex-daimies have responded with re- markable alacrity to the recent call of their former Lords, and arrive daily in Tokio, in great numbers, to offer themselves for service Emperor, with his household, will remain in in the loyal army.

As he was quite certain that there was no human being but himself on board the vessel, he felt that the only true explanation of the affair was that he had dreamed a prophetic dream, and was really about to be drowned.
