LOHD SALIBNURY ON OHINA,
London, 17th June, In the House of Lords to-day the Marquis of Salisbury, replying to Lord Connemara, Cop- aervative, and formerly Undor Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, said that Her Ma jesty was in coimmanication with the Chines Governant respecting the reorganization of the Army and Navy of China. The Protivr added that the negotiations respecting the Navy reorganization wore more advanced, and there was overy hope that a disting wished British effloor would make arrange- yants with the Chinese Government, where. by he would renow help to organize the Chinese Navy. Citus, the Marquis suid, shown willingness to accept British usint. ance, the diealty lying in her reluctance to give a suficiently indepoudent position to the offers to enable them to nestoôme traditional desp.contou evils. In conclusion, the Premior remarked: Wo do not anticipate a eALAR- trophe, yet there can be but ono aud and issue of the potent trend of ecouts so far as the Chinese Bat is concerned, muluss its Army and Nasyr developed on linee involving
entire reform.'

Seater Chandler, a signed editorial ia this evening's Monitor, tuken a strong position in favour of a policy of conquest in the war with Spain, advocating also even the capture of the Queen Hegout and King Alfonso, if possible, keenuso suck blow would be vital to the enowy. Before the War we demanded ne- thing of Spain exeapt peace and Cuba and freedom for the Cubans. We made no demands as to Porto Rico or the Philippines. Dat when tho-arbo, we captured Manila and we are going to take Porto Rico, and with Hawaii'n consent we have made the Sandwich Islanda nu outpost et,pur duuso. Our sailors soldiers are going to try to conquer everything in sight, even tho Canary Islands and perhapa Cadiz and
Barcelona.
The ontary against Tupriadisios premature. There is no danger that the United Sites will become a parker of world wide. empire. But Uncle Sam intends to capture everything Spain bue, Inud, or abips or subjects, that onn be safely read. Be intends to wake Cubs free and Porto Rico colony of is MARY nd and to do wha Philippines and all Spanish oil captured by his bato, 8918.
