June. IS. The enemy crept up to within short range and poured a deadly fire into the camp, killing two officer and lfl men ami wounding four officers and 35 men, of. -whom 28 were only slightly wounded.' Only two officer! and 5U men ? escaped to General , Reaston's camp, lite remainder were, taken prisoners i and released.

Yokohama, June 1, via Victoria, B. C. June 18. Much consternation has been awakened by the escape of a rat at Tokio. The medical authori ties of the Imperial university were engaged in experimenting on some rodents m the introduction of plage bacilli into their veins, when one ol the animals eluded their vigilance, and as a consequence several have recently been discovered in the hos pital infected with the disease. As a result the war against them lias assumed huge proportions. The Tokio municipality has voted 30,0(K) yen, rat traps by the thousand are distributed among the people, and a bounty of 5 sen each is offered for their capture. With all this evi dence of consternation there is no need of fear that 'the the disease can gain a foothold in the country in which such measures for 'pievention have been taken. While sjioradic cases appear here and there, they are instantly isolated, 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, responeible 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 possible for any statesman without complete loss of self-respect, to un dertake the task of forming a minis- STRIKE OF TRACKMEN.
