CHINA IS IN A BAD CONDITION To the Menace of Foreign Greed is Add ed That of Popular Discontent. Vancouver, B. C, July 20. Advices brought by the steamship Empress of India regarding conditions in Japan and China are as follows : Dark reports coue from all over China. Everywhere the Chinese are becoming excited over the demands for ports and concessions. Central China pirticniarly is restless, and rioting has taken place at Nine Ko. Rebellions have broken out in Kwangsi, one in Wachap and another in Lauchow. The governor of Kwanzsi baa sent soldiers to the rebellions districts. Trouble is reported in Mauchuria. Some think the authorities are doing all they can to drive the people into rebellion, or, as some say, into the hands of Russia. Private letters speak in strong language about the doings of the tsai-li-ti, a powerful sect, something like the lao-hui. These people are gathering in bands and defying the petty local authorities. They are strongly anti-foreign. Eeports are circulated that China in tends to open the island of Changbain nen, near Canton, as a treaty port, to prevent Germany or any other power from gaining it. The island in question is better known as 8t. John's. It is sit uated to the southwest of Maco, between that colony and the new French posses sion of Kwang Chau. : Chin Bok Kwa, a rebel chief of For mosa, was enticed by Japanese officials to surrender under a false sense of se curity and then barbarously executed. A Pekin telegram says that England nag objected to the borrowing of funds lrom Russia and Fcance for the con struction of a railway from Pekin to Hankow. The important features of the treaty just concluded between Japan and Siam are the retention of the stipulation for deciding by the arbitration of a third I arty questions arising out of the inter pretation of the provisions of the treaty or any violation of the treatv. The last named feature constitutes Japan's first ' acceptance of the principles of arbitra tion in connection with any treaty.

New York, July 21. A Santiago special to the Journal, dated July 20, says General Garcia has written a letter to General Shafter, declaring be is dis gusted with his treatment at the hands of the Americans, and will, therefore, withdraw bis forces to the hills. Among the things of which General Garcia com plains is the failure of the American commander to officially notify him o the surrender of the Spanish force under General Toral. He is also incensed at the alleged fact that be was not invited to be present at the ceremony attending the formal capitulation of Santiago. Another grievance is the retention of the Spanish civil authorities in the admin istration of their functions in Santiago. For these reasons Garcia declares he will no longer co-operate with the forces under General Shafter, but will act in dependently as be did before the Amer ican troops landed in Cuba.

The examination by a board of officers of a class of thirty-six civilians for commis sions as lieutenants in the army has ended at Fort Leavenworth and twenty four of them passed..

The occupation of tbe Philippines and of Porto Rico, with tbe overthrow of the Spanish sovereignty in those colonies and ejection of Spanish troops from the whole island of Cuba without great loss of life from disease, are to be achieved if possible before hostilities are to be car ried into Europe. : After Porto Rico comeB altogether under the American flag, if Spain does not awaken to a realization of tbe futil ity of further resistance, and war is necessary, the "Raiding Squadron" pro ject may bo revived. .
