BOMALILAND,
Bombay, 22nd Fab. According to the latest news from Somali- land, General Egerton and Staff have scoured the whole of the Nogal Valloy without coming in contact with the Mallah. There were traces that, on his rapid trek to the Sorl desert, after the battle at Jidballi, the Mallah lost a great number of shoop and camels and abandoned the
old and sick soldiers. Deserters' reports are to the effect that the Mullah is in the unmapped zone of Africa. General Egerton will probably resume the offensive with a column from the

The Japan Mail gives the following trans- lation of a patriotic song sung by students at a Tokyo Collage in honour of the recent suc- cesses:-
1. Hark to the wail of the disembodied spirits over Liaotung that was once purchased with their blood!

The traces of the rightaona war have long since vanisked. but see! over the mountains of Kan the sky is low'ring. The sun sinks behind the range of Chohaku and what shall be the doom of its ancient dynasty?
2. Hark! At the slogan of the Cossacks, the sirtues of sovereignty totter. If the bone volence which ancient Confucian rages have taught in the scriptures written in the books us all should perish with the country, then 100 milione people will full never to rise again.

Writing on the military situation in the Far Baet about a week before the ontbraak of war, a military correspondent of the Times says that, so far as concerns communications by land, the strangulation at Lake Baikal is a serious.disad- anlage for Russia.

The new Tartar General of Jehol is said to have an endeavouring to improve the local government there and bring the finances into something like order, also to encourage education. He bas been so successful that he bas submitted a very satisfactory report to the

A gentleman just arrived from Monkden says objection was made to his coming down by train to Newchung, so he had to take cart to Siamintun and take the train there, a long and tedious journey.

WAR BISKS.
In England. before the war, a number of policies were taken out overing the special risk of the British Government detaining steamers flying the British Aag from preceeding to their destination should it be either an East Siberian or a Japanese port. This risk was considered capture, as the Government might prevent. British vessels carrying coals or other munitions of war from delivering their cargoes to a belligerent Pozor, Underwriters were charging 30 per cent. to cover this special risk on British vessels for Port Arthur and Japan with coals.

The Vienna correspondent of a financial papar states that the question as to the ultimate understanding between the Austrian Lloyd and the German East African Line is being dis- cussed with great interest, The offers of the Austrinn-Lloyd to Austrian sugar exporters have met with a counter proposal from the German East Africa Company for a still lower tariff to India and Japan. In any case, the sugar industry will draw the greatest advantage from the competition between the two companies.

A LILLIPUTIAN SOLDIER. Claudius' Mayenson, a young fellow from Tel, in the Rhone, enjoys the distinction this year of being the tiny mito" of the French Army, Though old, it is nevertheless a curious fact, that aneh year, as the time of French consorip. tion comes round, a dwarf appears on the scene. The Lilliputian height of Mayenson is four feet, while is weight his 65 lbs; he looks more like u age. One of his brothers, a youth of fourteen. is equally a dwarf; they spring from & family of weavors. So robust is the little osanikin, that a march of twenty miles a day is more
and fraud, more honesty, and consequently more solidity in construction. For these reasons oue must calculate that for all local railway trans- port, in the triangle Port Arthur Kharbin- Vladivostock, it should be possible to despatch miles es hour, and that so long as these railways 12 to 15 trains à day at an average speed of 20 remain intact they should play a most izsportant role in enabling Russia to meet a Japanese attacks or to transfer Russian forces from one Bank of the front of strategic deployment to the other."
