FIGHTING AT MACAO.

Macao, July 12th The Colony is excited by a revolt which has occurred at Colowan sad which is taxing the military aathorities.

That being so, it follows that the Coloniale, either by reason of the greater feeling of confidence imparted by the presence of a strong British fleet in Pacile waters, or by reason of the fact that their fears are shown to he groundless, will have to drop the Japanese bogey which has filled their horizon of recent years. It is too early to prophesy regarding the ranewal of the Anglo-Japanese Treaty in 1915. So far there is so little alteration in the circumstances affecting each party that the probabilities are in favour of the continuation of the Alliance, though it must not be forgotten that the fear of Russia aggression being removed by the agreement just concluded may make Japan Jess anxious for Britain's aid, while Grent
