The positions of the buoys on the chart produce were made by my officialone: There are three fairways established by Ordinance. The wastern end of the central fairway is marked by two buoys. The fairway is not a straight line; it is marked by buoys. I now mark the two lines of buoys on the chart. There is not any hard and fast line for the central fairway about the map of war anchorage: THE BROUGH COMPANY AT THE The M.

He wrote and apologized for his absence on the ground that there was to be a surprise launch of the lifeboat. The inhabitants are now discussing among themselves whether this fisherman had been crystal gazing or had succeeded by some other means in penetrating
into the future.
THE case of cruelty to animals which came before the Mixed Count on Thursday last shows, only too plainly, a Chinese Magistrate's ideas of cruelty says Sport & Gossip of the 28th ult. A cow with a broken thigh was being driven along the road, at the same time being beaten with a stick, and in such agony that it could hardly hobble along. To quote from the American Assessor's own statement, "he was unable to make the Magistrate take a serious view of the case, as he said foreigners killed cows and yet wanted to punish these men for cruelty." Fine St. Surely a foreign Assessor should be able to make a Chinese Magistrate take a serious view of such a case, and also make him understand the difference between killing and torturing. I believe it is generally acknowledged that the S. S. P. G. A. has done a deal of good work in Shanghai, but such a fine as this is putting a premium on crucky and disheartening to those who have worked hard for the Society.
It is understood, says the Manila Times of the 4th inst., that the Governor General, Major General MacArthur, has unofficially signified his intention to release one thousand prisoner of war in recognition of General Tinio's surren- der. A similarly magnanimous promise has been made in the cases of Generals Malvar Land Luchon, the last two important leaders in the field provided they lay down 'their arms within the proper time limit, which is believed to be June 2 or 15 These three surrenders will therefore release three thousand prisoners Already one thousand have received liberty as a signalization of Aguinaldo's peace proclama- tion, and about six hundred and fifty have been liberated through exchange of rifles. These additional numbers, then, will empty all the political prisons of the military government, with the exception of Guam, where exceptional cases are being cared for. Such an act of magnanimity on the part of Gen. MacArthur is thought to create a widespread effect upon the natives of the Archipelago.
