Fifty sailors from a Japanese warship at Antwerp mutinied, landed and attacked the police. The mutineers were overcome, and the ship is now guarded by a detachment of police. Practifcally all of the South and Central American republics have notified Ecuador of their acceptance of the invitation sent out by that government t-o be represented at an international congress to be held on Aug. 10 next, to promote international arbitration. The United States has not yet accepted the invitation. A council of Spanish generals in Cuba has decided to suspend operations against the insurgents owing to the rains. Deputations with the mayors of all the towns of South Africa waited upon President Kruger Sunday to thank him for his clemency to the convicted reformers. President Kruger pointed to the Bible with the remark that there was his guide. He then referred to Cecil Rhodes, who, he said, was acting as if he was egging on a dog fight. He, who had caused the trouble, was still unpunished. Emperor William granted an imposing audience Sunday to Li Hung Chang in the Knights’ Hall of the old castle. Li Hung Chang was conveyed thither in the royal carriage, escorted by Uhlans.
