THE JAPANEse and thE PHILIP- PINES.
The question of the PhUipplaes is again brought upon the tapla by vernicular journals, We find the old agament repested, that their commercial and strategical aportance to Japan forbids ber to stand with folded handa while thefr fale is in the balance. Reference is also made to historical relations, but the point is too vague to be interesting, Four solutions of the problem are catalogued an exhaustive; the first that the islands should be declared independent; the second, that thele neutrality should be guaranteed by the Great Powers, as is the case with Samos; the third, that the United States should annex them, and tha fourth that they should be parttilaned, The second of these solutions is pronounced lacomparable the best, Independence is hopeless, for the lalanders are quite unable to maintain it, and partition would call into operation highly dan gerous forces. The only practicable alternatives TO annexation by Americs or guaranteed neutrally. It is advised that Japin should devote her energies to bringing about the latter solution, boldly taking the loftiative la pro posing it, if recessary; and that if the project be not lessible, she should throw all her in fluence into the icale in favour of annexation by the Valled States.

DREADFUL NEWS BY WAY OF SPAIN.
(American paper)) While all reports from American newsgatherers concerning the progress of the war bave thus far been generally accepted to perfect good faith, the time has now strived when the people gravely ask themselves whether things re actually 21. soreno u they acem. Every now and then som body suggests that only a part of the tuth is told concerning the operations of the army and navy and that the condtion of the count y is such that if it were fully under- stood everybody would tremble in terras. The American newspapers have seemingly done their level best to keep the public loformed to the progress of crint, but there is a dis- crepancy between thele news and the reports published to the journals of Mudrid which is positively irnileg. One of the leading news- papers of the Spanish capital, El Heraldo, for ioitaoce, printed a few days ago this asuming Information conce; aing our m'hiary resources —
"All the troops of the Yankeen are in the far western part of the country, many thousand miles from the Atlantic coast. There are only a fow thousand men all told, and they are paid and ill fed. and not willing to fight. To tilise this force it will be necessary to bring it to the Eastern seaboard, There is bul one allway by which it can be transported, and that is an old and poorly constructed affair. At one place this railroad passes over Niagara Falls, Cataract 3,000 feet high, near Labrador. At last secounts the bildge at this place was in a very dangerous condition. It need surprise no one to bear that some agency bad made it still more ko."

Even now ike new gan- eration of the Confederacy is but walking for the word to revolt. When war is declared Gen.

This Lee is the same Lee who was general In-chiel of the Civil War in 18,0 to 1855, and whose sorrender to Gen. Lincoln in the insi named year broke the revolution. His acts at HAVARA were for the purpose of plunging the Government into war with the Kingdom of} Spain, at which time he and his followers would rise against Senor Macklodicy."
Frightful as this news is, there is more to
A third Madrid journal, El Tiempo, published aly two weeks ago this terrifying special .dia patch from Its sleuth-like correspondent In Havanı :——
"Word has just been received here that the indians are rising against the Yankees in Illinois, Oblo and other placer. The faimes are petition- log the Government protect them from the blood-thirsty savagts, who are burning houses and killing on every side. Troops are asked for at Colorado, in the State of Denver, and at St Loaris (Sga Lala), la Missipa.
News is brought to that Buffalo Bill, s notorious ontlaw and leader of a band nt halt breeds, has risen aguinat the American Govern- meet and is burning towns near his birthplace In New York."
All foreigners residing at the open ports of Chios are interested in a proper adjustment of the recent trouble or the French Concession at Shanghat. The piclples involved apply to every foreign Concession, and care and foresightcoms, and some of it is still more appalling. sboold be observed before final decision. The ingenious saggeaton In M. Drummond's letter, that the subject be released to arbitration, is a shot almed at the fundamental right of foreigners. Whatever the grievance, real or supposed, the attempt to redress li by a fat cannot be justified. The consflated authority at a Con- cession bas the lgbt to preserve order on the Conccision and opporn such ferce to dis. order ax is "necessary to suppress It such Authority alto bay the right to remova whatever threatens the sanitary condition of the Concession; to abite the threatening agency of disease a nuisance, or drive it from the Can. cession by force. It is understood that the French Concession is under the Goveroment of * French Consul-General and a French Muni- cipui Ceaucll, and with these authorfiles resides the exclusive right to police the Concession in the loterest of order, and to protect the health of the residents by sanitary preceuilons. And when in the exercise of this right resistance !s encountered, it is legai to meet the resistance whh force sufficient to repel it. the exclusive right to gvern the French Concession at Shang- hal resides with the representatives of the forego ses-teats thereon, then it was within the provlace of the French Cuniul-General and the French Municipal Council to determine the means necessary to preserve the French Concession frons diacider and disease. It is not to be pre- sumed that the French Consul-General and te French Municipal Counell would use excersive means for the objects indicated; it is legal to presume that they would not, and, therefore, when they decide what means are necesary to be employed, the suggestion that the right to Judge for themselves should be referred to others, undermines the organic structure of the French
And other Concesstoor. If the subjects of China have been shut down for defending what they And the sight in deiend, then Chins can complain to France let redrest, but the Consular and the Mancicipal aulberties of a Foreign Concession may not telling to accept ethers as arbiters ol defined rights which are the foundation and gulds in the discharge of their dattes.

When fatal epidemics are annually rarsging Asiatic countries, it should not be expected that foreigners at Shanghai will submit to houses fall of dead bodies standing in the midst of their homes, breeding pestilence and a continual menace to the bealth of all The customs and superstitions of the Chinese will be repected when they are not practlied to the obvious detriment of health and order, and certainly when China concedes by treaty pisces for the realdence of foreigners, and assents by written epistons that the places so conceded shall be exclusively for foreigners, and Chinese shati not own properly the eon, It f■ difficult to conceive upon what grounds the French authorities on the French Concession at Shanghat are denied the right to do what China has agreed they may do. When the law is correctly understand, controverslei are easily adjusted, and the best friend is the friend that speaks with frankness.--- N. C. Daily News.
Nor is this all, El País, another newspaper pablished in Madrid, recently assured its readers that Spain would certainly come out of the war | victorious because of the wretched condition of Americs, which is described in this way':---
"The country is not fit to live lo. The climate is excrable. When It is not alealing or snowing the heat is almost unbearable. Avalanches are frequent at all times, and these threaten the pincipal cities. As for the people, besides the few whites engaged in business along the Eastern there, the remainder of the country is one vast plain, covered with Indians called cowboys, and great herds of tormlog cattle."
Again, El Darte, of Madrid, gravely laforms its readers that "the Yankee President Maggialy a naturalized Chinaman, who was born In anton, while the gospeakable Weyler beasts that with 30,000 soldiers landed on American shores he "could in one week's time march from Boston to San Francisco," and Gen. Corres, late Minister of War, wants to know what is to hinder us from taking our army to the United Sistes some night and investing the Capitol at
Wasblogton the next day ?"
Elther through bad faith or lack of enterprise, or by a combination of these, the American newspapers bare persistently withheld all of this dirquleting Information from their readers. Through Spanish channels, however, it has at last reached the people of this country, by whom it will be read with andlegalsed interest. The flasi impression which it leaves upɔn the Ameri can mind will be that a large number of the 68 per cent of the Spanish people who can reliber tend not write see dolog editorial work on the Madrid newspapers, and that their war news, not sufficiently defisite to warrant any serious alarm In this country, is at least calculated to arid considerably to the gaiety of nailour. that are current in Manila as to the progress of the war, it may be mentioned that when the Libris recently wont lat: the first Spanish port all the coples of the Singapore Free Press on the vessel were taken charge of by the Governor, on the pretence that he wanted the latest news, Au hour later extraordinary telegrams were posted, announcing the progress of the war-al- though the place had not been in telegraphic communication with anywhere for weeks, There telegrams travelled with the ship, and the news, which began with the sinking of the Merrimai by the Spaniards, ended to only two American versele being left aftoni.]
