MANILA SURRENDERS.

A SCENE OF CARNAGE,
In the afternoon I walked out to the Polveria to see the effect of the shells on that and the trenches, and it certainly came up to more than my expectations. One of the Olympia's shells hid bored a small hole Praugh The antalde wall of the Polvorin, whaye it is threa or four
feet thick, and had burst inalde, making an awini wreck. Heavy bard-wood rafters were made matchwood of, masoniy wrs brenght down in large heaps among quantiles of ammunition bath for cannon and rifice, and bad there been more wood work steet, the small fire which was starled would undoubtedly have exploded it all. As it was, the ammonition causs waro barzt through in places and the paper covers of the packets of Mauzer cartridges charred. One dand Spanish soldier was tying on a camp bed among the rulas and many had been killed and the bodies removed. There was a heavy, sicken- log smell of blood all over the place.,
Outside in the trenches we were taken to ree the effect of shell, and it was an awful sight. Three bodies, or rather femalos of bodies, were lying together in the trench. Two of them had the arms simply tain from the sackets and the beads were hall caurled away. In one case the face alonz was left, kom the brow to the neck; ail to back of the head was gone. It was the first I had seen of the horrors of war" and I forreally hope that it will be the last.

AMERICAN M NILA,
By 6 pm, the old city had capitulated, and the "sters and stripes" was firing over the walls and was saluted by all the foreign men of warin bay, All the Spanish barracks were occupied by the Americans and the streets were guarded by splendidly behaved troops, There was not even a street tow anywhere, for the slightest sign of any trouble. Io the Escolts Spanish cfficers were walking about camping their | swords, carriages
passing without
let or hindrance, and, if the cafes and some of the shops bad been open and the American troops had not been fa evidence, it would not have been diaïfnguishable from the Escolts of any time during the last three months. Just before lesvlog the transport Ceỗu, the Spaniards took her into the middle of the tirer away as If the job had been thoroughly done.

RAILWAY AND MINING RIGHTS.
We cannot for a moment think that the Right Hon. G. N. Curzon la stating fa the Hound of Commons, that Great Britală regards the as surances of China respecting the Vangiin Valler as being definite and blading, wished the British public to belleve him. Nor can we imeglas that be can befool the British public lato belles. ́ing that the undertaking of the Hankow Peklag Rillway had been merely granted to a Belgian Syndicate and that Russia had no interest in the line. The Chinese Government may Resure Sir Clauda Macdonald that such is the care but surely the British. Master it not swallowed this assurance sa gospel. He must have warped Lord Salisbury that he had no falih in such assurances, or he is not the man we take him to be. Is Great Britain about to be again fooled by Rurala as she was in the Port Arthur and Tallenwan affairs? Will Lord Salisbury mickly believe any further saumtrance from Rotala la regard to China? We regret to say we believe he will. "Once bit twife shy!| will not be used as a motto by Alm.
A gentleman, who has spent many year north of the Great Wall writes as follows : ----
"It will indeed be foolish of England or any other power concerned, to allow the mining righis of the country north of the Great Wall to be haned over to Rassla. Mining experts familiar with the hills of Manchuria and Jekol know that in there there are rich mineral deposits. Gold, silver, and copper, as well as an abundance of coal are to be found all over thoto parle. From time to time natives do a bit of mining mireptiously, and often with gical success. Only, when iba officials bear of any success their demands aro big enough to clear the miners of a good deal more than their profils.
"The coal deposlis of Jebol alone, might well be worth locking alter. Some fairly rich seams are at present belog worked by natives in A district some ago worth-west of Tongshas. If a good tarn ent, equalling in quailty the well-known Kaiping coal can be got, with the most primitive of mathods and appliances, and with the mere scratching of the surface, what might the results be if modern appliances werS used? The native mine-ownsts are in no berry to let the foreigner, nor even their own official know of their passessions. They know too well that cfficial greed would soon find means of rellevog them of them of thels property,"
But England will be fcollab, she will allow the lalog right to be handed over to Russia or some other Power, and when it is too late
she will protest fa a mild klad of way, or send her flet to make a demonstration, but nothing more.--Mercury. ·
