Nodiadau Golygyddol. 1805 a 1905. Mar hanes fel pe yn ailadrodd ei hun. Gan mlynedd i eleni yr ymladdwyd brwydr Trafalgar, y frwydr a sicrhaodd uwchafiaeth Prydain ar y mor, a ddarostyngodd ynanadferadwyallu Ffrainc a'r Hisbaen, ac a gychwynodd gyfnod newydd yn hanes gwareiddiad Ewrop a'r byd. Ac eleni dyma frwydr arall wedi ei hymladd yn y Dwyrain sydd yn bur debyg i Trafalgar yn amryw o'i y Z-1 nodweddion, ac yn sicr o effeithio llawn cymaint ar hanes yr ugeinfed ganrif ag a effeithiodd y llall ar hanes y bedwaredd ganrif a'r bymtheg. Daeth y newydd am dani yn hynod sydyn. Yr oedd y ddau lyngesydd yn ymguddio ers wyth- nosau, ac o'r braidd y credid eu bod o ddifrif. Ond beth bynnag oedd ffaeleddau Roj hdestvensky nis gellir dweyd fod llwfrdra yn un o honynt. Mentrodd i ganol mor y gelyn, gan gredu yn ddiau na byddai neb yn disgwyl iddo fod mor feiddgar, ac felly y gallai o bosibl ddianc trwodd. Ond yr oedd Togo yn Hawn mor wrol ag yntau, ag yn ddengwaith mwy galluog a chyfrwys. Pan gyrhaeddodd y Rwssiaid y man mwyaf peryglus ar y fordaith, yno yr oedd v gelyn yn disgwyl yn amyneddgar am danynt, a phobpeth yn barod ganddo i'w derbyn. A'r canlyniad fu difodi y Llynges Rwssiaidd. Ni lwyddodd ond tair llestr fechan i ddianc, mae y gweddill oil naill ai wedi eu suddo neu yn meddiant y Japaniaid, a'r tri Phrif-lyngesydd yn garcharorion rhyfel. Ni bu colled y gorchfygwyr ond pur ysgafn, ac yn hynny fe wahaniaetha buddugoliaeth Tsushina oddiwrth fuddugoliaeth Trafalgar. Y mae yn amhosibl dweyd eto beth f) dd effaith llawn y fuddugoliaeth hon, ond teimlwn yn gwbl argyhoeddedig y bydd yn aruthrol- mor aruthrol fel mai prin y meddwn ddigon o wroldeb i'w ddyfalu. Yr effaith uniongyrchol fydd sicrhau na elwir ar y. wlad hon i gyflawni ei chytuneb yn ol y Cynghrair. Pe cawsai Japan y gwaethaf buasai yn sicr o hawlio i Brydain ymyryd am fod Rwssia wedi cael cyn orthwy Ffrainc. Nis gall y fuddugoliaeth lai -na pheri i deyrnasoedd craill ddwyn eu holl ddylanwad ar Rwssia i geisio ei pherswadio i ymofyn heddwch. Mae ei chyflwr yn anobeith iol hollol. Nis gall wneyd dim mwy i adfer ei henw a'i safle, ac onid yw cenedloedd eraill Ewrop yn ewyllysio ei gweled yn ymddadfeilio yn ddarnau man hwy a'i perswadiant i gymodi a'r gelyn ar unrhyw delerau. Ond y mae effeithiau llawer pwysicach na'r rhai yna yn rhwym o ganlyn. Mae y dyn melyn wedi profi yn awr ei fod yn gwbl abl i gyfarfod y dyn gwyn, ac i sefyll ei dir yn ei erbyn. Gwir mai y dvn gwyn yn ei fan gwanaf a gyfarfyddodd yn y rhyfel hwn-dyn gwyn a'i wareiddiad yn brin, a'i lywodraeth yn bwdr-ond dyn gwyn serch hynny. Ac y mae yr un mor wir mai y dyn melyn yn ei ddadblygiad goreu hyd yma oedd ar yr ochr arall-dyn melyn wedi cymeryd i fynu wareiddiad mwyaf dadblygedig Ewrop ac America, wedi gweled gwerth rhyddid a diwyll- iant-on(I dyn melyn serch hynny. Nis gall y dyn gwyn byth mwy honni mai efe yw y type uchaf o ddyn, a gwell iddo beidio dechreu. Diau yr ymgymer Japan yn fuan bellach a deffroi a dadblygu China, a chydag adnoddau dihysbydd y wlad honno mewn cyngrhair ag athrylith a medr Japan dibyna ar ewyllys dda y gyfangwbl pa un a ga y dyn gwyn le i roddi ei droed i lawr yn y Dwyrain yn unman. Yn barod mae y Japaniaid wedi dod i ddeall nad oes gan Ewropeaid ddim yn rhagor i'w ddysgu iddynt. Os yw y dyn melyn wedi ei argyhueddi nad yw Rwssia yn gynrychioliad teg o allu a chymeriad y dyn gwyn, fe all pethau gael eu trefnuyn weddolhwyrach. Ondrhaid iddiplomat- yddiaeth Ewrop arfer ei holl ddoethineb, a gofalu uwchlaw pobpeth nad arfero unrhyw gyfrwysdra llechwraidcl, onide fe deffry ragfarnau a gadwant y Dwyrain yn Aceldama am genedl- aethau. Rhaid i farsiandwyr Ewropeaidd ofalu pa fodd yr ymddygant o hyn allan. Mae dyddiau ymwneyd a'r dyn melyn fel pe bai gi wedi mynd heibio, a goreu po gyntaf i bawb ddaw i gyffyrdd- iad ag ef sylweddoli hynny.

Notes of the Week. A Greater Trafalgar.- The long-expected naval battle came off at last, and, from a Japanese point of view, it was well worth waiting for. Since Trafalgar, which was fought a hundred years ago, there has been no such momentous victory as that of Togo in the Straits of Korea. In some repects, even the famous achievement of Nelson must now take second place. The annihilation of the opposing fleet has been even more complete, whilst the victor's losses are very much less. All the Russian battleships have been either sunk or captured, fully ten thousand men either drowned or made prisoners, Admiral Rojhdestvensky and his two chief lieutenants have fallen into the hands of the conqueror; and of all the flotilla which many people only a week ago thought might bring fresh glory to the Russian arms, only one cruiser, one torpedo boat, and a hospital ship have managed to reach Vladivostock in a battered condition. It is a victory so complete as to stun the world. Since Nelson, there has been no such naval genius as the Japanese Admiral. He turned up just at the proper time and the proper place to secure his desired object. It is difficult to say what Russia will do now. All sensible people everywhere agree that there is only one sensible thing for her to do, and that is to seek peace at what- ever cost it may be obtained. Her prestige, both on land and sea has been irretrievably destroyed for a generation at least. The humiliation of France in 1870 was not to be com- pared with Russia's humiliation. But we scarcely dare to hope that the Czar and his advisers have learnt wisdom even now. Their blindness seem to be from the Lord. Next to Japan itself, Togo's victory affects this country more than any other. It has saved us from all danger of being drawn into the quarrel. Had Japan been worsted, she would undoubtedly have called upon Great Britain to fulfil her Treaty obligations on the ground that France had
