The first that was known in official quarters of the existence at the movement which is daily assuming more threatening proportions was about the 19th or roth of August last, when the particulara of a contemplated uprising were dis- closed in confession to the Cure of one of the Manila rabarbs, who Immediately informed the

This plot befog frustrated, the first event of any importance took place on, the 27th of the same month (August) at Caloocan, a small village about 5 miles from Manila, when a fairly large body of rebeli, about 500 or 600 strong, descended from the adjacent mounțalas and commenced killing the Chinese storekespers and looting their shops.

WE are glad to hear that the organ recital lo Union Church last evening went off very well indeed, as in fact it was'nute to, reelog that Mr. Grimble presided at the organ and assistance was rendered by such charinlag vocalists Bi Mis Gordon, Mro.

The programme left nothing to be desired either as regards quality or quan- fly, and as fir from any true lovers of good musle being fatigued it fr, we believe, a faci that the large audience, which included hi Excellency the Governor, was thoroughly pleased and regretted that the feast-for a musical fexxt I WAS-WAI 10 soon at an end. It is true that a few of the audience left before Mr. Grimble had I completed bis arduous and well accomplished task at the organ, but that was not evidence that
they failed to appreciate his exqulaltely artistic effaits to get more music out of the organ than anybody else ever essayed. He was playing from music wiltien by Mendelssohn and Bach and gave fall expression to the laspirations of those great masters. Of the singing of Mrs. Gordon and Mrs. Hagan we cannot speak in too high terms. Both these ladies were in good volce and both as regards expression and tone
were highly successful and charmslog. Mr. Grace and Mr. Sliman were also in good voice 'and having selected' pieces suited to their well trained bass and tenor völces their efforts were very highly and deservedly appreciated. There can be no doubt that the audience will feel grateful to Mr. Grimble for arranging such a thoroughly enjoyable recital and very freely and willingly contributed to the orgen fand, in aid of which a collection was mads.
