The chief officer of the West York speaks fa the highest terms of the bravery and splendid seamanship displayed by the crew of the Harmer in passing the second hawser.

The second leading men, and lavarlsbly wound up by fialnged, when it likewise carried away and another had the residents from two to five dollars a bead for to be passed, which proved to be mere child's disrespect in not attending. This was carried on play when compared to the passing of the twɑ to such an extent that he was recalled in June previous ones, and the ship arrived safely and anchored off Yau-ma-il to the great relief of all last, but he managed to accumulate forty thou hands. sand dollars during his term of office. -As an example of the bad management in guarding places of Importance I will quote the following incident :-Ab ut two weeks ago there wis a scare in the public market in Binondo caused by two or three reports of fire-arma All the market people rushed away from their stalls, leaving behind them goods and money and ran through the streets, the men shooting and the wo men screaming. The panic naturally spread all the shops in Calle Rosario, Calle Nuera, and the Escolta were immediately closed, and it was some time before the, excliament subsided. All this time the whole of the plant of the electric ghi In San Sebastian (which lights all Manila) was la charge of the Engineer, an American, with no means of defence but his own revolver. The other men on the works were all Indians. Had a dozen rebels'rashed the placethe whole of the machinery could bave been destroyed before the ardval of a single policeman and Manila would have been in darkness for three or four nights at least, thus affording, the lasirgents a favourable opportunity of making a dash for
Manila.
Foreigners here, especially Epgilaḥmen, are fairly unle, the filibusteros having received strict orders to respect them and their property Nevertheless it is just as well that a Bilitish gunboat is here, as in the event of Manila being fired we should find a British warship a rather better refuge than the strongest bouse in Manila, and it is always a comfort to know of a place of safety for the women and chlidren.
The Cataluna hiss strived with the first Spanish contlagent, F,200 irong, and preparations are being made for an attack on the Convent at Imps, where there are now about 8,000 rebels strongly entrenched. For some time past the Spanish gunboals have been shelling the place, but apparently without much effect. However,

No casualties occurred, with the exception of a slight scalp wound sustained by one of the ship's boys while cutting away the piasts.
The ship presents a most pitiable spectacle as she now lics, with a big list to starboard, her hulwarks stove in, a gaping bola in her side, and her masts gona kome six or eight feet above the deck. Appearances are deceptive, however, and considering the trying experiences both ship and crew have been through, they have sustained comparatively little damage, having only, so the genial chief officer puts it, "had rather a lively ilme."
