The news that peace negotiations are in progress has apparently not yet reached Manilla,as an attack was made by the Spaniards on the American camp near Cavite and Manilla during the night of July 31. The Spaniards, who numbered 3,000 men, made several desperate charges, but were repulsed each time, and finally retreated. Later they made a second attack, and were again repulsed. Some estimates place the Spanish loss at- over 500 men killed and wounded. The American loss was 11 men killed and 37 wounded. The insurgent forces remained neutral dur- ing the engagement. Britain and Russia. __.â€"_ The Globe says : “ The cables tell us that Great Britain and Russia have at last reached such-a position in China that one or the other must publicly “climb down.” It may be said that; similar alarms have been several times 'raised in recent years. But that is no guarantee that the present diflicully will be peacefully solved. The situa- tion is critical. The two mightiest pow- ers in the world are deeply interested in [the fate of an empire of great popula- tion, area and potential wealth. That empire is pitiably weak, is seeking peace above all things, and is only anx- ious to know which of the strong na- tions is the stronger, and to throw it- self on that side. Each of the strong ones is therefore eager to make a dis- ‘play of power. The popular opinion in Great Britain is that Russia has so far outplayed her opponent, and the rising anger of the people is seen in the com- ments of the press and in the result of recent elections. Mr. Goshen’s new shipbuilding programme, too, was avow- ;edly clue to Russian activity in the same direction. Whether the British Gov. ernment really showed weakness in al- lowing Russia to obtain control of Man- churia, to take Port Arthur as a naval base and Tallenwan as a naval termi- nus, is a matter that has been much do- bated ; but the British people were cer- tainly dissatisfied and irritated, and were saying that Russian aggression had gone quite far enough. If the rail- way question has really reached a point where the choice is between fighting and backing down, the condition of affairs is very ominous indeed, for it. does not look as if the Government. however strong in the House, could back down and live.” Slightly Hysterical. Our friends in the other camp are getting slightly hysterical as they see their chances of capturing the Provincial Government, by a legal technicality, growing beautifully less. They are now objecting because the proclamation drawing the Legislature together is drafted in the formal phraseology that has always been in use in Canada, and was in fact copied from British custom, having been in use there since time im- memorial. The proclamation declares that the Legislature will be called upon to do those things “ which may by the l a half to demonstrate what a set of de- l signing, blasphemous hypocrites the , Hardy Government must be.

As Others J‘see Us, The London (Eng) daily Chronicle recently had a lengthy article about Canada in which some very-self-evident truths were dwelt upon. Having refer- red to Lord Herscholl and Sir Wilfrid Laurier as representing “a singularly powerful equipment of statesmanship," the great daily speaks of “ the astonish~ ing activity and brilliancy of Canada’s new development,” and continues :â€" “ Canada after years of stagnation has, in the hands of a progressive and most enlightened statesmanship, sprung for ward in the path of‘ progress. She has opened up new industries, new ways and methods of bringing her fruits to the gates of Europe. Her trade is going up by leaps and bounds, and her statesmanship has kept pace with her commercial genius. The first lines of imperial federation havo been laid down For us by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his colleagues. The tone of Canadian pub- lic life has greatly risen with the beat- ing dowu of‘ at least the worst, iallacics of protection, that parent of corruption in States,” cte. Village Council Proceedings.
