Now that the long looked for news of the Battle of Manila Bay has at length arrived we cordially congratulate the Americans upon their Victory, and at the same time congratulate the Spaniards upon the bold fight they made. Victory cannot come to both sides and a well fought action always deserves praise and this the Americans by no means deny to their brave opponents who made such a heroic stand against them.

REBELLION IN SIERRA LEONE.
་
In the first place the telegram announ- cing the capitulation of Manila is untrue. The origin of it may perhaps be traced to the rebels, if we remember that when attack ing Bolinao in February the rebels wished to wire to the world the fall of Spanish power in the Philippines. If they wished it then, they would probably do it now if they could; and apparently they have managed. Anyhow, the fact is that Manila at the time the McCulloch left had not yet surrendered, and the city had not | been attacked, although the feet and forts had been annihilated.
On Saturday night, 30th April, the American fleet salled into the southern channel, between the islets of Caballo and Fraile (the Horse and the Friar). The night was rather bright moonlight, and although the ships were painted very dull although there were no search lights, and

and deplorable. He would reverse his own decisions so promptly as to suggest that he realised his own incompetence, and when he would not reverse them on application the higher court would. Besides the Magistracy he had been en- trusted at various times with several other kinds of work and in all of them he was chiefly distinguished for incapacity. But he was his uncle's nephew. Why cannot we all have such uncles?
