France and Morocco.
LONDON, 17th August. The Sultan of Morocco has rejected the French Minister's demand to release an Algerian chief brought to Fez in chains, and serious developments are possible.
The Peace Conference. "The Conference has agreed on Articles Nos. 7 and 8 in reference to the Chinese railway, with the exception of one point which requires elaborating.
Yesterday the Conference discussed the indemnity article, and failing to agree, it was temporarily laid aside, the Conference proceeding to discuss the surrender of the Interned warships.
Kussla, by accepting Articles 7 and 8, sur renders every vestige of ambition in Man- *churia, closes the door to the ice-free port of Daly, upon which she has spent mil lions, and retains only a non-military line connecting her European possessions with Pacific maritime provinces.

An imperial decree authorises the Minister of Finance to issue an internal loan of 200,000,000 roubles at 5 per cent.

THE WRECK OF THE WEST YORK"
BOATS CREW AT MANILA
Atacul 2 am on Tuesday last a ship's yawl carrying the mate and four men of the crew of the British bark West York pulled up to the
wharf in front of the captain of the port's and the mate reparted that he came from the ill fated bark. The boat's crew, says the Manila Cabienews, showed the effects of the terrible physical and mental strain they hath undergone during the 5 days of hardship, and privation passed by them in an open boat. The mate's story was, that about three o'clock of the morn ing of the 17th the West York struck a fringing reef of Flat Island. 11.03 N. and 11541 E latitude, longitude N. 195.40 E, about 3.0 miles to the southwest of Palawan. This coral island or rather islet typifies the thousand and one islets that fringe the various islands of the archipelago.
The next day she went to pieces and is a total loss. The West York, iron bark, 300 tons, belonging to the Hongkong Shipping and Trading Co., left Hongkong in ballast for Begeng, North Borneo. She was officered by an American captain, Foster, of Honolulu, and "mate, Patterton, a Glasgow Scotchman. Her' crew was composed of 12 men, Filipinos and Japs. Heavy weather was encountered and by July 12 had become so thick that it was in possible to take observations, and this kept up until the morning of the 17th the vessel riding sight into the teeth of a terrific gale when she struck the fringing reel off Flat £5. Seas were then rolling high and daylight finding them in a perilous plight, the captain ordered all hands to immediately prepare to land. A succession of heavy seas were washing her from stem to stern, the intervals between sens allowing them just sufficient time to provide themselves with a few provisions hastily snatched up with which they made for the shore. On landing they hastily improvised a tent with the sails for
shelter.
The island was found to be without water,
noinhabited and barren with the exception of a few cocoanut palms. After waiting from July 17th until Aug. 2d hoping to catch sight of a passing vessel their hopes gave out and finally their predicament having reached a climax it
From the first the Americans declined to re-
gard the Philippines as a colony. Despite the long and sanguinary struggle against the natives, which followed hard on the purchase of the islands, the people of the dates persisted in regarding the Filipinus as a civilised race, as the "little brown brothers," who, though kept in ignorance by their Spanish tyrants, pos- sessed instincts and traditions which needed but a little development to place their owners on a level with the Western nations. "The Philippines for the Filipinos" was the policy laid down by Mr. Taft, who was first Civil Governor, The islands were to he modernised, brought up-to-date. The brown brother was to be given Higher Education, to be taught to ap- preciate the beauties of the sygare on the hypothenuse, to read Emerson, and under

From a moral point of view there is very little to choose between the acquisition of territory by "tricks of diplomatic chicanery" or "simple prowess of arms However, the pamphlet does not call for review on political grounds. It is an unassuming account of two visits paid to the island by a lady who has the faculty of observation, and, if it is necessarily superficial, it at any rate gives an excellent idea of how the much-talked-of island appears to a visitor.
