The island which is of most eon tjtience to us is Guahan.

With the stirring events in the Antilles and Phil ippines, our seizure ot the La drones has excited almost no attention in other countries, and vctv little even at home. But we shail make an important coaling station and port of call there The e lse with which we have ncnuired this foothold in the Pacific does n t make it the less valuable.

It is difficult even to make an appproximate estimate to-day ot the numerical population of Manila, but it probably consists of from 270,000 to 300.000 souls. The largest proportion of these, excepting the natives themselves, is composed of Chinese and so called Chinese natives, exceeding even that ot the Spaniards. There is a large colon v of Germans and Swiss, who, according to rumor, are mainly responsible for the pres ent and recent uprisings, and also a hadful of Scotch-English men; not too small a handful, however, to maintain an "Eng lish club" in tbe suburbs and a "Tiffin club" down town. The saving goes in the far east that if an Englishman, a Spaniard and an American were left upon a desert island the first would organize a club, the second build a church, and the third start a newspaper. Half a dozen Americans are all that remain in Manila, now in sad contrast to the "old days," when two great American busi ness houses flourished onlv tc go down almost together with a crash that was heard around the world. What is now the English club house was built by one of these great houses for its "junior men," and on its back veranda r hite very white men "lie off" on Sundays and holidays and watch thecocoanut rafts drift by from the "enchant ed lake," and read six weeks' old papers and dream of New Eng land pines and Scottish heathen ten t housand miles away.
