The provisional statión at Manila, and all the roadside stations were re-decor-led with flags, banners, and Howers; hundels of men worked all through the night to have everything ready for the following day; a triumphal arch of bamban cance, covered with white paper and having a large placard on top with the luscription Viva España, was created at the entrance of the station;n small altar was erected on the station platform, and was here the Archbishop was to conduct the service which the benediction of the in augural caging entailed, for in the Philippines, nn jäte is complete without images of saints, a priest, flags, Bunting, and a band. At 3 30 the Archbishop, accompanied by his usual releñue ef | acolytes canying his "vestments" (or, to use the Spanish phrase, pontifical ornaments") came. He could not commence business until the arrival of the Governor-General, but at about 4.30, the band at the entrance struck up the Marcha real | or Spanish National hymn, and this announced the arrival of his Excellency, who is a very small, thin, pale-faced ina. It was dressed in full uniform for the occation-white pants, a very much frayed black frock coat (which seemed abnul five times too large for him) cavered with an apology fa gold lace, a sword by his side; which without ex ggeration was almost as long as himself, and as he walked rolemnly down the Station platform by the side of the Vice Governor, a very tall and stout party, he presented a very ludicrous appearance. Your correspondent, who was behind his Excellency whilst the ceremony of blessing the enterprise was proceeding, could not help noticing that his collar and a washer- man had been strangers for some time. After | the usual exchange of compliments between the Archbishop and the Governor-General, the former proceeded to don his mitre and yestments, and after reciting af w Latin prayers, he took up a kind of pepper-box arrangement containing the holy water, stepped forward to the edge of the -platform, "and" "«prinkled the engine with the contents, thus ending the ceremony of blessing

Frank Waters, a newspaper reporter, who was intoxicated, was abusing the citizens' committee and those connected with the Hennessey case, when Captain Arthur Dunn, one of the counsel for the State, came by. Waters shouted at him, "There is one of them now; why don't he take it up? Dann advanced toward Waters, who drew his pistol and began firing. Dunn quickly drew his pistol. Waters fired six shots and Dunn five Waters fall dead, with one bullet through his face and another through his head. Dunn was shot twice, in the right breast and in the wounded. The men had for a long time been political enemies. Dunn has for many years been a leading politician. During the shooting two bystanders were slightly wounded.

At another station, that of Meycauayan, the village flag, a very dirty piece of cloth of colours undefinable, and tied by two ends to a bamboo, was brought in, in order to receive a blessing from St. Peter's representa tive, which was accorded with all the solemnity due to the occasion, much to the delight of the old Gobernadorcilio, or petty governor of the village", a most important office in the Philip tion. The Gobernadoreille must be a native, bave a slight knowledge of the Spanish language and must be able to tend and write. His prin cipal functions are those of tax-collector, chief constable, chief of the Fire Brigade and Chief Justice of his village, and his presence at all Church processions and festivais is essential His official uniform consists of trousers of any colour, a white shirt, which must be worn over his trousers; and a black Eton jacket. Boots or shock are of no consequence, but if he can afford it, a white "long-sleever" hat preferable, although there are no special rules for this. A silver-headed cane, with a silken cord attached, is indispensable. His tenientes, or liquleninis, wear the same uniform, with the exception that the cont must be white and the silver-headed cane is not de rigeur.
