THE CITY OF MANILA.

Govimor Telt's report for 1903 contains some items particularly interesting to Hong- kong on account of the similarity of mony existing circumstances:-During the year about 150 buildings were condemned and ordered to be removed. Much has been done in the way of repairs to s'reste, widowing streets, and giving the city a modern cleaning every day. Of course the absence of the sewerage system entails very heavy expense in the introduction of the pail system. The falling-off of the population of the city of Manila. between 1900 and 19 3 from 260,000 to 221,600, no shown by two censuser, is not inexplicable. In 1900 there was much disturbance throughout the country, sud the insurrection bad not consed in many parts. The effect of the insurrection upon these who wern wealthy or who had money enough to come into Manila was very worked, and they fled to Manila as a place of refuga. As so p, however, as conditions became more tranquil they went to the country, so that the reduction in the population of Manila is a Tweire Chinamen charged with keeping pigs significant evidence of the tranquility of thy at Taitam were fined 50 cents each.

The Grand Council, the Poking and Picnisia Times says, has recently issued a circular letter to all viceroys, governors and high officials generally pointing out that booksellers and publishers in the South have lately been actively sirenlating books and magazines of a seditious character, such as "The Reformation of China,

In reading such books the peoplo cannot fail to have their feelings atirred and their imagination excited, and if such writings are sanctioned the general peace of the country will be seriously threatened.
