KONSA SACHRISTO,
Perhaps the most interesting event in the Far East is the revolution, if the rising can be so dignified, in the Philippines. It may be, and no doubt is, amusing to Europeans in the East to think of the natives of Luxɔo as warriors; but it has caused many anʼanxious hour to the Spanish Government, with their hands already fall with Cabs and the semi-comical political attitude of the United States of America. Nor can there be mach to amman the friends of the poor men who have lost their lives. in fighing for what they considered their just aspirations. The sons of the once praud-Spanlard are in a bad way at this the century's 'wane. Is the row likely to do Hongkong any good? Spain's difficulites should surely give Hongkong merchants a chance to get better terms for their merchandise and for their shipping interests. The bias of the Philippine Government towards an "exclusion" policy is not of sufficient Importance perhaps to go to war about, but surely the occasion is ripe for a remonstrance with a missing
