For some iile une ea lew people ventured to approach the men from far, ecoubia. The foreigners on their side could not sperk Japanese and as the Japanese seldom sadlerstord any lingu geother thin their own, there was at first very great ditical y rot only in doing business, hot in establishing any intercourse at all. The resident who tell the ile had pparently a little more pluck then his fellow Simulated by curlo site he says, "I secretly waited the Settlement entered tre of the teares. Oo seeing me, five till and fat Rete rushed out of the house, and calching held of me, brought me into their empeord. Now I thought my
life had come
to an end. I fully expected that they would begin to que se blood from me, and I trembled with fear.

Then I war let out of the house, and findin I was safe and sound, I beran to bellove that things were, quite different to what I had been told.""
This Japanese pinneer of foreign trade in Kobe goes on to say that when he came to the kan. mon, the gate at Matemachi, he foun a number of people assembled, the officer at the gate not permitting them to psas because they had arms with them. These wer his friends, men living in the same street, and they had assembled in a very aptrated state of mind on hearing that their neighbour had gone into the Ferelga Concession. On seeing him pass the gate, apparently alive and well, they expressed their surprise, and when he asked what was the resion for all this concourse of people, he was told that his selebbous found out be bad gone Into the Settlement, and as he had not at once retained they believed that the foreignets had squeezed the hood firm als bady and had mur dered him. They had consequently decided to takazevenga for hisd.ath. Thereupan be related bis exacrfence, but I usually the case in such cbcumstances, the crow refused to bolleve him, strongly Insisting on the well-known fact thai foreigners sque sed the blood of Javanese when the got the opportunity, and that it was useles to deny it. Talaking any more explanations would be fallin, the pioneer went home, thank Log bl neighbours for the Interest they had dis plated In his wellara. Ho was very mach afraid of the bottle which the foreigner had given him, and throw it away,
Notwithstanding all this, he thought he would try a few trading experiments with the foreigner, O bearing of his laten dan, bit beighbours expressed their strong disapproval, saying that if hadid business with the Astin, he would be kell. led by the Exclusianist party (70f-En) However, he once more went into the Concession secretly, taking one she of soy with him. Coming to the beuse where he had been before, the foreigne: purchried the sko (less than two quarie) of soy tory. At this he was very, much pleased, and next day he old the foreigners one ho of rice for the same amount of money. Naturally be thought this was a very lucrative business, and began to take other articles to the foreigners for sale, but his family feared the
consequences, and Lila neighbours said that they themselves might be involved in great trouble with the Exclusionists if be continued to visit the Foreign more business with foreigners he was compelled Settlement; so as they objected to bis doing any to give up his little exccritons. Thus, he says, "It was because I feared my own neighbours and not because I feared the foreigners that I had do s'op doing any business with the letter," Alter- wards, when the foreign trade gradually developed, and there were no further objections offered, he went once into the Settlement and found that many Japanese were already,there, dolog business with the foreigners, and the time to make the large profits which were possible at first bad gone by.
The story throws a carlous side light on the day of foreign intercourse, and our early Japanese contemporales would be doing con. siderable service to the blatory of the port !! they were to obtala a few further experiences of those who were presat in the early days and of the atiltede which the people generally adopted towards foreigners at the time the port wa 'opened.--Koli Chronicle.
CURIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
The Osaka Asakí states that an accident absolutely unprecedented In Japan has occurred on the Kyushu Railway, On the arrival at Akama statin of the 12.48 might train from Fukuma, the 2nd and ard-class" carriages were found to have diasppeared, the engine bilaging only a ist-class carriage whit. A braksman ran along the line to discover the lost carriages, which were found standing some two miles away. It appeared that when the train approached Akama statiar, a conductor in the latter part of the lain began to examine the tickets of the
passengers. He went through the 3rd and 2nd- class castlages, awakening each passenger, and
Just as he opened the door from the last 2nd-

This re- quest was refused and whenever a rebellion breaks out at a village now they commence by massacring the curt,

Manta is at present invented by 50 000 la- surgents, commanded by Agatcaldo and supported by the Americ ns, and only the other | day General Monel who was at the bead of Onsang column of 4,000 Spaniards was shot by the Talchrong Insurgents. (Mistake, General Mozei is still | silve, Ed. S F. P.) He had with himo, besides his own family, the wife and the daughter of the captain-general, M. Augustin,
The captain-general wants to surrender the town, but the Spaniards are strongly against this step, although they will be obliged to do so before long. The governor i destilate f all power and it is the vice-gaveinor, General Jandenes who commands. The great bike commited by the Spanasds was their organisation of the Philippine militia and their arming zooca ledians with rifles, and ppoint. ingas commandants the old rebel chiefs, The Indians turned on the Spaniards and counting 30,000 rifles which the Americans suppiled them with, they have now 40,000, rifles and any only during the night and there are only 5,000 men amout of ammunition. They make their attacks in the trenches belonging to the regalar troops, ho during this alay season cannot hold out for a long time. All the Spaniards from 18 to to years are volunteers and form a corps of bearly 3,000 meo, Vicials are becoming scarce and they are beginning to make use of buffaloes' flexb, a pound of which costs up to a dollar.
If the Spanish squadron commanded by Admiral Camara which started from Cadiz in the 10th May does not stive in time, the surter der of Manila it a question of only # few days. There has been no bomshardment, because la that
caxe the Spaniards would find themselves between two firen. As regards artillery, there are only 16 mountain guos,, siz guns of 16 cm. in a serviceable slate, 6 field gune of9cm. in working order, the remainder are guns which are loaded at če muule and used for the firing of salutes It my opinion that although the Germans have this moment six men-of-war in the bay of Mandia, the Spaniards will have trouble in rumoured that they wish to sell it by saction, keeping this beautiful colony and it is already and by preference to Germany
I have forgotten to add that European com. merce is completely at a deadlock, and that one. third of the French and foreign merchants after having shipped their goods on board of vessels te the harbour ring the colours of their own nations, cpsa their shops for only two hours each day. The Spanish merchants through fear of bombardment seat away their merchandise on now in the hands of the rebais, la conclusion, the 2nd May lalo the provinces where they are it will not be surprising to see the whole of the French colony leave Mantia one of these days and seek reluge at Saigon.—Slam F.
