THE WAR IN THE PHILIPPINES.
„MALOLOS TAKEN,
MANILA, April 1st. General MacArthur's division has been mov- Ing quickly, though not quickly enough to catch the rebel lenders or their main force. On Wednesday, he advanced both brigades, under General Wheaton and General Hales, to Bo caue, where the milway crosses a broad stream by nicans of a big cylinder bridge. The rebels ought never to have given up the bridge if they had any fight in them but as it was, they were forced back after a fairly stiff strug gle, in which the Montanas had two men killed and five wounded, Pennsylvanias one killed and six wounded. Nebraskas one killed and eleven wounded, Kansas seven wounded, Third Artillery three wounded, and South Dakota one wounded. The bridge was not easy to cross, as it is only wide enough for one pair of rails; and is not planked for foot passengers, so the boys bad to “walk die ties" under fire. Good troops defending the position, would have picked off every man who ventured on the bridge; but the rebels are evitently quite de moralized now. They abandoned Bulacan with out a fight, setting fire to the town as they ran out, directly a gunboat began dropping shella in the vicinity. They hardly made any resist ance at all at Bigon and Guiguimo, and they cleared out in such a burry that they had no time to set the places on fire, But, of course, General, MacArthur had nevertheless to advance with the greatest care taking every precaution against surprises or ambushes, and looking after his line of communications, supplies, etc. The quicker an army advances, the inore diffi cult such work becomes, and if nothing goes wrong it is a miracle.

BRISBANE, March th On Thursday the Portmaster at Bristiane received an alarming wire from the Harbour Master at Cooktown, stating that the fazer had arrived, bringing news of a terrible disaster to seven of the pearling fleets and about a hundred luggers off Howick Islands, resulting in great loss of life.
The Warrego was instructed to immediately proceed north again, and to render every assist ance possible to the shipwrecked schooners.
On the journey down many dead bodies were seen floating about, but owing to the heavy weather prevailing, it was impossible to ascertain the extent of the damage.
Mr. James Clarkestimates that probably there! were 1000 people on all the boats, and the les of life will probably, be very serious. Imme diately he heard the news he sent a cable to London to withdraw his company's shell from the next sales.

THE FRENCH NAVAL VOTE.
PARIS, March roth. In the discussion in the Chamber of Deportes on the naval rate. M. Lockroy, the. Minister of Marine, said that the fleet was in excellent condition. The greater number of squadrons on foreign stations were never before in such good order. The points d'apport of the fleet were about to be instified, and work had already been begun on them. M. Lockroy also spoke of the new dype of sabi-marine boat, the Gustave Zade, le spoke in terms of high admiration of this type of torpedo-boat, and declared that Alad been, lately provided with an apparatus which permined its occupants to to be much damaged. The ketches Aurifrench as adversaries with the greatest accuracy see under water, and would thus be able to Two Brothers, and Rosa were totally wrecked but all she gear has been saved.

The Ruby is ashore on a sandbank near kind; but the whereabouts of the luggers Ony Kafou, and Gertemle had not been ascertained The schooner Aeg Aferires, lately purchased by Messry, Rowde and Doyle was reported to be a total wreek.

3-Certain armed bands of marauders are attacking sune, of our towns in the north. These bands are called upon to come and join our army against the Americans, otherwise we will deal severely with such disloyal Filipinos as soon as we are finished with the Americans: General MacArthur called a halt for the night at Guiguinto, the advance outposts being some two miles beyond the town," The mil- road was very useful in bringing up supplies, otherwise it would have been necessary to halt for probably three or four days instead of only one night. A slight collision occurred on the Jine a trainloud of soldiers going back to Manila, was met by a stray locomotive, and though both drivers slowed down as hard as they could; there was a bump which threw a lot of the boys into the ditch alongside the line, Many were riding on the car roofs, and gut a bad fall, but fortunately no serious injury was done.

At seven o'clock on the 8th instant the Kasuga Mary, stopped off Cape Melville, and communicated with the dismasted' schoomer Crest of the Wave, and Captain Porter con- firmed the reports that the schooners Silvery Wave and Sagitta, with their fleets of luggers were lost as well as the fleet of the schooner Shetty Belle. Captain Porter estimated the loss of life at about 100. ad bodies were scon floating past all the previous day.
Most of the crew from the Crest of the Wave were camped in tente ashore.

It was also fortunate that the advance of the American troops had been so rapid as to prevent the rebels from having time to damage the bridges or burn the towns.

Captain Haswell thinks there are more vrecks to the north-east of Cape Melville, as he observed several dead bodies came from that direction.
Owing to the heavy weather prevailing at the time, he could not ascertain anything more definite.

CURRENCY IN THE FAR EAST
INSEPARABLE FROM TROY WEIGHT..
It
"The Development of Currency in the Far East" was the title of a paper read before the by Lieut. Col. R. C. Temple, the Chief Com East India Association, in London, recently, missioner of the Andamans and Nicobars. currency and troy weight in the Far East. Dis- was impossible, he said, to separate the terms cussing the developinent of the forms of currency, he declared that all the exist ing troy weights and currencies in India and the Far East were based on one, and sometimes on both, of two seeds, which were known to Europeans as the seeds of the Abrus precatorus and the Adenanthera pav1Ò-' nina. The whole currency of the Far East was based on, or directly connected with, the Indian troy weight system. In India there were formerly two concurrent troy scales- literary one of 320 raktikas to the pala, and a popular one of 96 ratis to the tola It was the popular scale of 96 ratis to the tola, the details of which were traceable to the old Greek scale, which had settled itself down in India, but the old literary scale was by no means dead. It had spread over the Indian borders among the peoples further East. So far as it dealt with matters Malayan, and certainly in
origin, the international commercial scale was the latest development of the ancient Indian scale of 320 raktikas to the pala. The Far Eastern peoples had never separated either the ideas or the denominations of troy weight and money of account-fe, of currency. They had gone, indeed, much further; for every such coinage as they had produced had merely been an effort to give practical effect to the conventional de- nominations of their troy weight currency. Commenting on the all engrossing fight bet- ween the holders of gold and of silver, the lecturer said that if, as he believed, silver was the more stable métal, he submitted that the one lesson.to be leamt from the past was that it was to the vital interest of the agriculturist, the manufacturer, and the merchant, to throw the whole weight of their influence, in the struggle between financiaers, on the side of silver.
