my daughter was sitting in the drawing room then ha entered and said he osme for the last time and wished to say good-bye. My daughter intill retained her seat, when he pulled the re- wolver from his pocket and fired at her. She raised her hands and then fell in a faint. He thought he had accomplished his deadly work andɛ turning, he placed the revolver to the dample of his head and fired. His death must have been instantaneous, for his face was terribly powder burnt. An inquest was held and the verdiot - read : "That the deceased, Lieutenant Tomas Guerri, came to his death from a pistol shot discharged by his own hand.”
The above created quite a sensation in Spanish society circles, as both were prominent members, and were known in the city.
THE PRESS CENSORSHIP AT
MANILA.
Manila, 23rd April. There have been complaints filed at this office by our readers regarding the cablegrams pub- lished by The American. One writer states that he does not care for so much foreign news but wants more home news, especially anything re- garding the army.
For the benefit of such readers we would state that many cablegrams are received from the United States but are suppressed by the press cansor for good and sufficient reasons.
On Friday a portion of one of our cablegrams was suppressed and yesterday one entire des- patch was censored, this office receiving nothing but the words : American, Manila, from Hongkong; text suppressed by press censor."

The administration is doubtless as anxious to be relieved of the burden of censoring both in- coming and outgoing news cablegrams as the press and general public are that such censor- ship cease.
When in the opinion of the authorities the proper time arrives the freedom of the press will be as fully permitted in the Philippines as is at present in the United States.-The
