Hancock played a great game, although it would be difficult to place him ahead of Gibbs, who is a sterling player and Cox did wall, his aprints were good, and at times his tackling was also. In the latter though, he has yet to learn to tackle his mhh low; for Gibbs two or three times handed hen off when he tried to collar hini high. A man of the build of Gibbs must be tackled by the legs to bring him down. Hail is a good threequarier, but, someholy, yester day he did not get chances to shine.

A heavy aght resulted, and the rebels fought stubbornly though they were at last compelled to give way under the fearful fire of our men. The artillery was brought into play and the trenches raked with shot and shell causing the enemy to flee in disorder.
Not satisfied with merely routing the enemy the American forces took up the chase and pursued them for three miles into the country, losing them in the dense jungle of the hills which skirt the lake.

The Case of the
"Tamba-Maru”
A press representative interviewed the Com- missioner of Customs with the view of ascer. taining whether he had any information to impart on this important matter. Mr. Noda stated that he was not aware of any such impending change, and that he thought it extremely probable that some contemplated amendments in the regulations relating to bonded godowns may have given rise to the rumour. These alterations will provide for the establishment of "Free Warehouses," in which goods destined for other ports may be opened and repacked and will greatly facilitate tran- shipment business as they will dispense with many of the formalities attaching to the pre- sent system..
The delay in dealing with the charge against Mr. Kent and the counter-charge against the Quartermaster of the Tamba Maru, says the Japan Gazette, is little short of a scandal. The occurrence took place on the 28th Sept., and the vessel arrived in Yokohaina on the 3 ultimo At midnight the 9th the officers implicated were, with the exception of Mr. Kent, arrested, the charge against them having been laid on the 6th. Mr. Kent was not taken into custody until the roth, and on finding substantial se curity for his appearance or the hearing of the Any reforms which will remove some of the case he was admitted to bail The charge superfluous "red tapeism," so unnecessary in against the other officers had in the meantime the case of transhipment cargo, will be wel been dismissed; they were, nevertheless, recomed by this community and it is satisfactory quested to hold themselves in readiness to give to learn from an authentic source that the evidence when the case against Mr. Kent Financial Department is turning its attention should be brought before the Court.

The Iron Market in Japan. According to the Osaka Brainichi, the import market has been generally active for some time past, and iron of all descriptions is especially in demand. The advance in the price of iron in Europe and America last Spang made the Japanese dealers hesitate to issue orders, with the result that there is a scarcity of stock The dealers were in conse- quence obliged to send orders, at what was considered an unfavourable moment, and they anticipated losing by the transaction. This anticipation was not fulfilled, however, as owing to the price in the European and American markets coutinuing to advance, and the demand in Japan continuing to increase, an unexpected profit was realised. Iron pipes of 2 to 3 inches In diameter are in specially good demand, owing to their extensive use in the petroleum industry in Echigo province. They are now being sold at any price the holders ask.
The Dysentery Epidemic.
A SHOCKING DEATH ROLL'.
Investigations made on the 17th inst. by the Sanitary Bureau in the Home Department showed that the total number of cases of dysentery throughout the Empire since the outbreak of the disease this year was 90,208, of which 18,530 ended fatally: This was an
What chiefly concerns es, however, in the present article, is the complete opening of the port, and we can conceive it to be very possible that the heads of the State may not as yet have fonnulated their scheme to the length of imparting it the executive officials. There are good reasons why such a step might well be engaging the aftention of the Japanese Ministry. It is only quite recently that the Russians have announced their intention of opening alienwan to international trade, while the newly acquired German port of Kinochow has been running on the same fines. Neither of these Governments can be supposed to have been actuated by a bens- volent desire to adopt a liberal policy, and it is well known that in declaring for free trade their ultimate object has been to attract to themselves some of the prosperity enjoyed by Hongkong,
With these rivals in the fields, the expedien- cy of opening one at least of the Japanese ports is worthy of consideration, nor would the country lose in revenue or prosperity by this action. On the contrary,, it is beyond ques tioning that the volume of trade altracted to the port would bring in its train other incans of raising revenue for the Japanese exchequer more than sufficient to counterbalance the amount sacrificed by the loss of a trifling sum in' Customs duty.
We assume that if such a course was decided upon, Nagasaki would be the apart from its manifest natural advantages port selected for the experiment, for, rendering it the best seaport in the Em pire, it is more favourably situated geogra- phically, beingnearerto the Chinese and Korcan ports, while it has a closer connection with external trade than either Yokohama or Kobe.

The report which had spread about town to the effect that our casualties were between 20 and 30 proved to be unfounded upon inquiry in the proper channels, and the above figures are the total extent of our loss.

States troops peacefully occupying rebel It is understood that the victims of the Dictator's shrewd coups, Araneta and President Yusay, are now both at liberty on honour of parole and are exercising absolutely no power.

Gen. Palion evidently has some brave and crafty secret service agents. A posse of his signal corps were detected signalling out to the enemy fmm a house in Jaro, using colored lanterns while the attack was being made. Two of them were caught bloody-handed as well as four that were in the Ifouse with them and are suspected of being part of the signat squad. One officer escaped. The case is a clear one, and the spys will probably be pun- ished according to their descris.
While the attack was being made here, simultaneous attacks were made on Molo and La Paz, and acting Major Warwick had a busy night of it at Moln.
