FOREIGNERS IN FORMOSA.
"י
The Regulations relating to foreigners Formosa were officially gazetted yesterday, says the Kobe iftaid of zuti inst. The regulations consist of fourteen articles, but they are nearly the same as the regulations relating to hotels, lodging-houses, etc, which were promulgated on the 8th alt, and a translation of which appeared in the feraid on the 13th. One important article which appears in these Re- gulations is the ninth, which says The Governor-Genend of Formosa may order any
fateigner, who comes under either of the fol- lowing clauses, to leave the island.
a. One who is not able to earn his livelihood. 8. A vugaland. A beggar. . One who endangers the public peace, or acts in a rammer detrimental to public morals. One who has previously been deported from the island and Imas landed there again without permission.
If necessary the Gevrnor-General' may employ force in executing this order, either before or after inflicting a penalty (imprison- inent not exceeding four months or a fine not execeding 50 yen).

ROBBERY IN A TRAIN.
THE SMOKE TRICK...
A remarkable case of robbery in a milway train is reported in the Osaka journals. It appears that one Mr. Konda Masakichi, a merchant residingat Suye-yoshi-bashi, 2-chome, Osaha, was coming back from Kyoto jan second-class carriage by the 1212 pm tmin on the 31st uk, when a man entered bis com- partment at the Takatsuki station. Shortly after the tain left Takatsuki the man began to smoke a cigarette, and Mr. Kondo also took one out and endeavoured-in light it at his coin- 'panion's, but failed. Thereupon the man offered a cigarette to Air. Kondo; who accepted and smoked . He anno felt very sleepy and fell into a doze, being only awakened by the noise made by the passengers getting out at the Suita Station To his surprise he found that bis hanribag containing Y8o in, cash and two promissory notes drawn on the Mitsui Bank for Y26,241, was missing, together with the man, who had given him the cigar tle. It is supposed that the ingredients of the cigarette were the cause of Mr. Kondo's 'sudden, attack of sleep incss,

SKIRMISH AT SAN FERNANDO. "- The troops at San Fernando de la Pampanga were treated to a little excitement yesterday at a little after 12 o'clock. Cal. Bell, of the new 30th Infantry, ever on the alert to stir up the enemy, went out with a few other officers and three scouts along the Bacolor road to ascertain the location and strenth of the rebels of that locality. They had hardly passed the outposts of the 12th Infantry a quarter of a mile when both Mauser and Remington bullets began to colne in their direction in very numerous quantity, and insurgents seemed to rise from the ground, armed with rifles, on all sides. A few shots were returned by the outposts of the 12th Infantry. The scouting party retired slowly, and well satisfied, as they had accomplished their purpose and are now possive of the location of the enemy, and without either a man or horse getting a scratch,

That was very nearly the issue presented in the Dreyfus case, and though in the end the sintestnen, aided by the traditionary respect for law, were able to claim the victory, they were for a time in neuse danger, and knew it. If France had possessed a General with a great record who agreed with the Staff, the statesmen ruight have been defeated, and a law passed making criticism of a military deci sion an act indistinguishable from treason.

NEWS FROM THE REBEL LINES.
The following items from the centre of are gathered from La Indeprudencia,
Quinten Gonzales, the chief military officer- in charge of the garrison operating against San Fernando, has issued an order prohibiting various abuses commmited against private proptity. He depreciates these actions as being the means of bringing discredit to the good name of the glorious Filipino army.
To undertake important commissions in the provinces of Nueva Ecija, Bulacan and Pumpango various officials of the general staff have been selected.
Pedro Paterno made a dying trip to Dagupan before the washouts on the railroad, to inspect tite works of defence at that point.
AN IMPORTANT ORDER. An important circular has been issued by the Chief of Staff of the Filipino Army, All officers in command are lo send in detailed accounts of operations with sketch maps of the scenes, and this work is to be repeated every time thecolumns change camp. An account of the condition of "all yms, their systems and actual state, dala relative to operations in particular and other notices, nuinber of the enemy and all news about their locality positions, projects and tendencies, is to be sent in every eight days. Further, within 24 hours after a battle a full report of all losses of men and material, both of our troops and the enemy is to be rendered, These accounts will be published monthly. No exaggeration is permitted.
The distinguished Dr. Albert, now in Manila, has retired from political life, to attend to the duties of his profession. We are happy to know this, but shall always consider the doctor as a man of Cunsequence in our politics.

EXPECTED TROUBLE AT SAN FERNANDO.
August 7th.

We (Manila Times) can safely announce the following as a true statement of the facts of the Case: At San Fernando yesterday all the natives were made to leave the town. It is quite evident that, considering the fact of their being no discrimination regarding the age of sex of the native population whe were obliged to leave, San Fernando was suddenly relieved of its excessive population of amigos and their families, and it is hourly expected that an attack will be made by the boys of "Aguinaldo's" valiant army.
The Macabebes were considered, some few months ago, to be peacefully inclined toward our Government, but notwithstanding their protestations of friendship and the confidence bestowed upon their supposed friendly actions, are intruding, upon the generosity of General Otis, who represents Uncle Sam in this quarter of the globe.

ably adapted for the purposes of
DISHONEST WAR OFFICE: OFFICIALS" They are not required to render any account of their expenditure, and it is indeed a point of honour that they should preserve no record of their transactions. The officers of the French_general staff took advantage of these favouring circumstances, to pilfer the money which passed, through their hands. They packed the pigeonholes of the War Office with bogus documents for which large sums were supposed to have been paid, but which. were in reality manufactured by themselves or their underlings. These documents were represented to have been brought in by secret agents outside the War Office; but, like the famous letter containing the expression "Ce canaille da Din," they were clumsy for- geties, which would not have deceived a clever schoolboy. It is an absolute fact that in the archives of the French War Office there are- or were several letters purporting to be in the handwriting of the Emperor of Germany Some of these documents contain the most grotesque grammatical errors, such as might have been perpetrated by half-educated men like Colonel Henry, but of which a highly cultured diplomatist like Major Schwartzkoppen could not possibly have been guilty. For one of them M. Hanotaux was induced to pay no less than £1,000.
For a number of years the French generals were undisturbed in their peculations, but
aker a time some of their shrewder subordi- nates began to smell a at. Young officers of the general staff, like Dreyfus, who had an unfortunate passion for looking into things, were at Gist astonished and perplexed, and afterwards, distrustful and suspicious of what they found in the secret dossiers of the War Office. They wanted to know," and their untimely thirst for information was most embarassing to their chiefs. Thus it came about that Captain Dreyfus, through an excess of professional teal, began to incur the dislike of his superior officers, He was, considered a dangerous man, and

Do you Ministers are French gentlemen of the highest imagine that their energy bas been spent simply to keep an artillery captain-a mete pawn in the great war game-in prison? They have done what they have done, not, per- haps, because they know, but because they almly guess at and suspect and dread the truth. Honest men like Brisson, Cavzignac, and de Freycinet have come into office determined to do justice; they have. lifted a corner of the veil and shrunk back appalled.

The Formosan Government, has issued a set of regulations for controlling the inimigration of Chinese labourers. It is evident that For- mosa stands in need of cheap lahqur, and that the Chinese have proved themselves capable of satisfying the next Hence the policy of the Government is to admit Chinese labour, but at the same time, to. subject the immigration to efficient control. The system adopted is to create, between the Authorities and the labourer, a class of responsible contractors with whom every labourer desiring to enter the country must have an agreement. The contractors will be licensed by the Governor General, after complying with certain prelimi- naries and giving proof of their bona fides.

THE BURNING OF THE "SATURNUS." A Spaniard who has arrived in Manila from San Fernando, says the faniia Times, claims to have witnessed the burning of the Compania Maritima's steamer Saluris at San Fernando de la Union. He said that the Saturnur enter ed the port flying the American flag and drop ped anchor preparatory to unloading a part of her cargo, when she was boarded by the rebels and part of her cargo, taken off, while the cap- tain and her crew were made prisoners, She was then saturated with petroleum and when a gunbont came.

Dreyfus himself has probably but a glimmer ing of the reason of his condemnation. He was a prying, curious person, eager for informa tion, and singularly indiscreet in his methods of obtaining it. In his peerings into the dark holes and corners of the War Office he got ino. wann: he hit upon the scent of the men who were diverting the secret funds into their own pockets. They thought he knew more than he did, and so sacrificed him. Then when the agitation for release came, they avere forced to "ke" evidence of his guilt,
