"Ai (ieneral Mac Arthur advanced,
the principal churches were let fire by
Aguinaldo'i men, notably the cburchel

New York, Oct. 25 A dispatch to
the Times from Paris shvs :
There is much uncertainty as to the
real state of affairs in the Transvaal,
ind until tbe French know which way
the cat will jimp, their opinion is not
very frankly expressed, and is therefore
difficult to guess.
The viewsentertained by M. Del Caste,
the minister of foreign aff.iirs, are pre
cisely the same, and it is nonsense to
declare, as some of the Paris papers are
doing, that France and Rus-da propose
to intervene in Africa and help the Boers.
France is watching with greit interest
the attitude of the German emperor
with regard to the war. For some years
past every successive French cabinet
has been hypnotized by ibe movements
of this yonng potentate, jatt l,ke some
historical subject nnder the manipula
tion of a professional mesmerizer. What
ever Emperor William does or seems in
clined to do calls for a great outcry bere.
Paris, which is empty more and more
both politically and socially, bids fair to
become a mere hall of ichoes. The
French are inclined to believe that Em
peror William is no longer sympathetic
with the Boers. Russia is entirely dis
interested in the Transvaa'. The Russian
press denounces Great Britain on broad
principal! of morality and justice.
With Russia indifferent and Germany
friendly, Great Britain has nothing to
fear from France. Moreover, Franca has
now but one idea, and that is the Paris
exposition. Any statesman who would
jeopardize the success of that show
would brin about a revolution.
