Full details have not yet been re-

The serious reverse which Lord
Kitchener reports is the first accident
of the kind that has happened to the
Australian contingent, and it is sup­
posed to be due to neglect of pro|>er
picketing. Although it is offset by
the defeat inflicted upon Dewet, the
loss of the guns is regarded as a serious
matter, which w ill encourage the
Boers to continue the struggle.
More or less fanciful accounts are

nothing in them and nothing has

Energetic Measures Taken to Suppress the
Plague.
Yokohama, June 1, via Victoria,
B. C. June 18.— Much consternation
has been awakened by the escape of a
rat at Tnkio. The medical authori­
ties of the Im perial university were
jngaged in experim enting on some
rodents in the introduction of plage
bacilli into their veins, when one of
tho animals eluded their vigilance,

pilal infected with the cnr-wise.' As~S
result the war againsf 'them has

\ The
Tokio m unicipality has vcfced 341,000
yen, rat traps by the tho'iv&and are
distributed among the people, and
a bounty of 5 sen each is offered for
their capture.
W ith all this evi­
dence of consternation there is no
need of fear that the the disease can
gain a foothold i . the country in
which such measure - for prevention
have been taken.
W hile sporadic
cases appear here and there, they
are instantly isolab d, and the spread
of the contagion is rendered practi­
cally impossible.
The authorities
do not hesitate to adopt the most
drastic measures in each instance,
and as a result the empire is today in
a better sanitary condition than any
other nation in the world.
The cabinet muddle is not only
still unsettled, but it becomes every
day more complicated and hopeless of
solution.
The source of trouble,
while dignified as a strife between
the principle of a party minsitry
and that of an independent cabinet,
responsible only to the sovereign, is
almost lost sight of in the pettiness
of the political squabbles which have
come to the surface, making it im­
; midd­ possible for any statesman without
chop, complete loss of self-respect, to un­
dertake the task of forming a minis­
