The Java papers have given vnies to the Colonial appréhensions on the near approach of the Baltic Fleet and the supposed danger the Netherlands Colonies were in. This seems to have been to some extent a reflection of the strong feelings in the Mother Country. The Locomotief of April 18th quotes from the Hagus Telegraf, whow correspondent wrote BANO that he had" hut an interview with a politicfub Battleship (tel) who way he supposed to be well informed abüüt the transactions in the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. le confirms the report that he Japanes rerument sent a firm note to the Netherlands Government regarding the position of the Fut Indies in connection with thứ Baltin Fleet. He also says that communications bave beon exchanged with the Giveman Government as to the desired protection from possiblo attack by another Power. At first the German Government did not want (so he says) to have anything to do with such an affair. He cannot tall the point the negotiations have reached, bat he says Gorrany demands too much-several coaling stationa; a special tariff on German manufactures in the Indies, .. The wenk attitude of the. Minister för Foreign Affairs consed the Netherlands Government to send after his another diplomat to assist him. "The Locomotief of April-18th also mentions a growing novasiness as to the Colonics. The Irinisters had been called together several times and the ministry for foreign affairs was in a terrible disorder. The Japanese Note wan & stiff one and called attention to the nee maily of observing strict neutrality, and the Colonial Department bardly knew what to do. The only available ships, the Zeeland and Luo de Ruyter have been sent to India, so that the connaining fleet consisted of three battleships, tive small cruisers and a few torpedo boats, Sabang, the how harbour, has been put in as good a state of defence as the shortness of time will allow Padang, Sonrabaya, and other ports are guarded and the Governor Goner 1. has issued strict orders to keep the movement of troops a secret.
It is a matter of the most supreme importance that wo should retain our Colonies, us without them our nation is reducvl to u con·lition of no importance whatever. Their loss would mean the full of an ancient and glarion country.
Reports come in from all sides about the doings of Japanese ships in Dutch watora.

Dr. Welborn is also paying careful attention to the quality of rice grown throughout the Archipelago, as well as to the cleaning of it for the market. The patires bare rade no effort to keep separate the different varieties of rice and, as a result, there is a sad misture of all varieties. Among them the doctor finds one variety worthy of preservation. Outside of that it lng been thought best Import the South Carolina golden and the Honolulu, both being superior varieties and well suited to the climatio conditions here.

Although Mr. Wang Yun wore bis native arest he did not disdain the usual judge's badge, as worn by his English colleagues. The Pekinges which to the inexpert eys appear to be the result of a cross between a pug and a toy spaniel, are really a distinct breed, being, in fact, the original "sleece dog" of China.
