Before recording the proceedings at this meelog, which we are obilged to abreviate owing to the late hour (4.30 p.m.) at which it was teld, a brief resume of the history of the Mission, Las set forth lo a pimphlet published by the local branch of the Society, may be of interest The London Missionary Society, originally the Missionary Society, was founded in September, 1795, by a number of Episcopallans Presbyterians and Congregationalisis on pop-sectarian' lines. the propagation of the Gospel being the sole objeci in view. Gradually the iwa former meets withdrew, so that now the Society, li chiefly, though not entirely, Congregationalist Daring the hundred years the Society has been working It has sent out over 1,000 missionaries to all parts of the world, and there have la many Case become famout. In the islands of the South, Seas, in Africa, ming the myriade of Indis, and in the vast Celestial Emplie the emtaarles of the Society have bees stationed, and in nearly all cakes they bave woräunded themselves in the course of years with thousands of native corverts. In Polynesia, the Maurities and Aides, working in what it descilled as virgin field, they have civilized the rounding peqia, giving them in miny CAPS A writen Linguage and a literature, and even in semi-civilized India and le China their efforts have been-g-sided with success. In the first years of the Socfely openings for foreign missionary effort were comparatively kw, and thus several fields were occupied temporally, from which, on account of more Important openings which were presented, it has been felt pecessity
to withdraw, On the other
hand, in later years, the progress made in some stations has warranted the Society in leaving the Christian commurbies formed by la instru mepiality to conduct and support Christian worship and work among themselves, with only Occasional prentary ald from the Society. Up to the close of 1891 the Society bad sent out 1896 maland og fernale missionaries,'or 1,coris all The receipts for 1891 mounted to 119 911 as, 11d. and the expenditure to £163,375 9#, 58, The Society began work in this colony almos at once after the cession of the island to Great Britals, Drs. Hobson and Legge being la charge of a mission hospital here in 1843. Very shortly afterwards the Sociriy's Anglo-Chinese College wastemaved from Malaces to Hongkong, and with a misalanary of the society reats the credit of paklog the first fount of Chinese characteri un present ured by the newspapers and for printing Træett, Among thore aliacted to the Society here may be found such eminent names as Dr. Legge; Dr. Medhurst, and Dr. Morrisen.

A represent- Coban Insurgents are seeking recognition-by alive of the provisional government which they have set up in the eastern provinces of the island is in Washington and has been granted Secretary of State. The Senate Committee on
Deofficiat interview
with Mr. Olney, Foreign Affairs is said to be in favor of recogni tion, and numerous resolutions favoring such action hire been latroduced in both Houses and referred to committees.
The insurrection started in the western pro- vince of Santiago de Caba in February, 1893. and has spread from province to province through Pperio Principe, Santa Clara, and Matania in Havana, the last but one of the eastern provinces. The progress at the insurgents bas been by a series of raids. foland, avoiding open rore with Spanish. troops, which have been concentrated in the garrisoned city of Navana, around which the decisive struggle mast be made, advances of the insurgents within a few miles of Havana have renewed the demand of a large number of American newspapers for Government recognition of the belligerents.

真常
belligerents rises very much sooner than their tight to recognition as a separate and lodepen- dent state. In the latter case it has never been castomary to recognize insurgents as a separate state until the time has arrived when they have practically overcome the opposition of the parent stats, and have consilia'ed themselves into a separate and didact nation with as effective government firmly established. For example, Great Beltais did not recognize the Spanish republics of Saath Armerica as lo dependent slates until they had driven out the Spaniards from all parts of South America, except in island on the coast of Chile and a small arcilon of epper Pern. On the other hand, Great Britain accorded to the Southern States recognition as belligerents within the first month after the commencement of the Civli War.
(LKYANWORTH TIMES.
What are the_wroogs_agzinet....which—the- Cubans are fighting? They may be summed up thus: They have po voice or control in the government of their country. They have no real representation in the Spanish Cortes, They have not the right of public meeting. They are taxed to a degree resulting lo confiscation of property. They get no returns from the exces- sive taxation. They have no proper system of public education. The Captain General has absolute power. There is perpetual robbery and corraplion by the affelals running through all the departments of the Government. The courts of Justice are dear of fatqulty. The fiscal policy is oppressive and rulacus. Cuba is held by Spain only for mercenary purposes. There is to consideration of progress, liberty, or justice. The events of the last few days have brought appreciably nearer the day when European despots shall be sent bag and baggage off this hemisahere,
[NXW YORK TRIBUNE.] The war has been in progress less than a year, General Campos bas 100,000 veteran Troops at his command, with a nation of $7,000,000 at bla back. The rebel army numbers -about 20,000, with about half a million to draw upon. The total population of Cube in only 1,600,000, half being in garrisoned cities under Spanish guard, and not more than one third of the population can be reckoned as actively la revolt. The Spantsb have, therefore, 100,000 soldiers to suppress the revolt of 500,000 or 600,coa men, women, and children as many soldiers, that is, as there are men in the whole fosurgent population, combatant or non-com- baient, and ten times as many as the actual rebel army. Yet they have been steadily losing ground.

In such a state of affairs it is wor than idio for Spain to keep up the pretense that there is no war in Cabe, but merely some fally desultory rating. There is war, civil war, there was la thii of which Spain was country thirty odd year ago, the existence galck to recognise ; and wo me inclined to think the insurgists have now far better promise of success than the Confederates in this country ever had.
