TWO-YEAR COMMISSIONS.

One of the coming changes--and a most welcome one it will be-is the commissioning of ships for two years' service, abroad instead of three. This will be a great boon to officers and men, and it will be an economic change, too, as ships will then undergo large repairs every four years instead of every three years as

THE MISSING “LEGAZPI."

STILL' OVERDUE.

Notwithstanding the report of the arrival of the missing steamer Legarpi in Manila, it ap pears that the vessel is still overdue. When seen by a representative of this paper this morning Messrs. Barretto & Co., the agents, stated that they had no reason to believe the re- port of the Bourbon's commander of the arrival of the steamer in Manila; quite the contrary in fact, as had she so arrived they would have been immediately 'advised by wire of the fact, seeing that they have been in constant com- munication with the Manila firm regarding the missing steamer. The last news received was that, on the 23rd inst., the Philippine. Govern- ment bad. despatched the U.S.N. collier Nan- shan to look for her. It is possible that the vessel the captain of the Bourbon reported as having arrived in Manila, may be the Legaspi, an, inter-island coasting steamer, running in and out of Manila. Unless in the meantime she has arrived the Legarpi is now thirteen days overdue, having left longkong on the 15th-inst,

REVIEW.

THE CAMPAIGN WITH KUROPATKIN,

The cataclysmic struggle between Russia and Japan is far from finished; and suchwander. ing cries for peace as have found expression have mainly been those of horrified spectators in other lands, who, far from the scene of the conflict, and secure in the blessings of ordered life have shuddered as they have read of the carnage that is taking place amid the iron hills of Port Arthur and the fair valleys of Manchuria; and have longed in vain for some authoritative voice to call for the furling of the flags. Already, and a book of the highest interest, written by however, the war begins to have its historians;
