The following is the opinion expressed by the Parvenir de Bisayas concerning the gunboat Filipinas: That the vessel be sold na soon as possible, and the proceeds of the sale be deposited in a Spanish Bank; that a committee composed of Spanish naval officers be appointed to draw out, the plan for a new gunlinat, the construction of which should be put up for tender, reference being given to Spanish contractors: and finally that persons unacquainted with marine affairs be not allowed to interfere in any way with the construction of the new boat. This last is a nasty hit at somebody;
A VERY remarkable engineering feat (says the PARLIAMENTARY,

It was the stretching of a steal-wire rable of seven strands across the River Luman, by the Danish engineer, De Linde, assisted only by unskilled Chinese labour. The cable extends between two points at a distance of 4.618 feet apart; the height of the first support is 477 feet above the present level of the river, and the second 737 feet. This Chinese cable is the longest in the world, except one, the cable across the Kistna, measuring 5,070 feet... WORDYEAR'S Circus' was fairly patronized Jast aight considering the counter-attraction offered by the Wash Norton's World of Wonders at the City Hall.

The various items on the programme were carried out with the customary efficiency shown by the members of this clever oup, the Japanese performers being as before gie ted with considerable applause. Another performance takes place this evening, and there will be a special afternoon performance on Saturday. We are glad to hear that Miss Moore's health is improving.

SAYS the Straits Times :-Pahang has, come into such, proininence of late that the result of the Governor's visit there will be awaited with, keen curiosity. The Sultan of that State has shown unmistakable signs of having a will of his own. He is not likely to sink quietly into a Bgurehead, nor wil he brook undue interference with his sovereign rights. It will need judicious management, indeed and proficiency in the art of putting things, to bring him round to she opinion that a British protectorate of his country, after the type of the neighbouring Malay States, would be for the best. Reluctance to saddie himself with a adviser, who may end by becom- ing master, may well lead him to view with misgiving the introduction of the thin end of the wedge. In such cases slowness only will give that sureness which will admit of the full development of the resources of Pahang.

We hear that several melancholy incidents occurred during the height of the recent epidemic... Three stout Chinese batmen, brothers, died within a few days of each other, and only yesterday an Indian watchman who was called to see his sick brother, a constable, began to exhibit cholernic symptoms after exchanging a few words, dying in a few hours, The number of deaths among the Chinese from that couse is now reduced to a minimum.

Of these three men, one was a tall, powerfully built fellow who had deserted from the ladian army, and who possibly was a bad character to begin with. However, the day being Sunday, they were told by direction of Captain Watson to go forward, with the under- standing, of course, that their presence on board could not be helped, and that it was accepted as a necessary evil-chiefly on the score of Having to feed a greater number of men than his owners had supplied provisions for. The men were allowed the same scale of rations as the legitimate crew, excepting beef and pork, which, considerit, the very in which Bullish ships are provisioned and British ship masters dealt with by the law and by their owners, was fair enough.
