and discares of jungla warfare, and make light | of them. But they cannot fight, because they are Bot traine! and their leaders ara no good. Terget practice is almost non-existent. This Aart of warfare requires not drums and trumpets, not bigh spirits and ac domical education, but it requires the faculty of hiding behlad tree- stamps and shooting straight and quick. It * requires a well trained oye, to spat oroty more
ment in the gloom of the greenery, to sea fastber through the trees than the enemy can to keep cover and drive his out of him, The Philippina native, like all the kindred Malay races, cannot do any fighting as a rule except at close quar- ter, sling with his heavy kotle. The weapons much the same, be it called the machete, or bolo, or tampilan, or parang, or
; the play of action is the sime, to rash in unexpectedly and hack about selfly, without the slightest attempt at self-preecivation. It is a form of fighting known to British troops in the Soudan and du the Indian frostles, and it takes R lot of stopping. Quickness of eye and hand Can only be acquired by long and hard practice, and there poor Spaniards do not get that snill the time when they ought to be orlog it, The rifle-bolts should be all fully accapled; they are deserted. The Spaniard is a proud, placky, high-meltied, long-tadaring, tenacious, de- sperate, herola hopeless incompetent.
The Mauser life, too, in hard work is found to be a mistake. It has a case of five cartridges, which have to be si) used before any can be re- Inserted. That is to say, ii m soldier has occa- sion to fire three, he must go on and waste the other two or else leave bimself to meet a pasal- ble sudden rush with only two rounds in his gan, Nine times out of len, he prefers to be ready with a full charge, and to his smmuni- tion is wasted Morcover, li is an aubandy to work in a barry. Perhaps it may be the fault of the mer, or the's misfortune in being andrilled, but they are very often kalfed in the act of reloading—which is a thing that should not occur often. Whatever be the explanation, there is something very wrong in troops with rifles and bayonets being driven steadily back by natives with knives. The zebels have some gons but most of the wounded soldlers seen in the streets bave kalle-wounds.

THE NAVAL BATTLE OF CAVITE.
▲ SURPRISE,
]
When the enemy's equsdren was sighied, is- perfect liac-of-battle, through the mists of a cloudy dawn on the morning of the first of May, apprehenalve astonishment was generally felt among the Manila people. At last, the Invader's ships had carried thele' audacky so far as to make an appearance on our coast, and challenge our batteries, #hich promptly replied, but in a manner which was more distinguished by valour and bravery than by practical effect. For it re- quies more than main courage to make each bullet find its billet, to make projecilies arike home and penetrate the enemy's armour, it does indead!
EVERY MAN TO HIS POST, The disparity between the strength of our bat- tories and that of the rquidion which arquted Manila from its slumbers at five o'clock in the moming, was so serious as to alarm ali and lo- stantly dispel the usual tranquility of our tropical life. On the one hand, all women and children fied affrighted, afoot or in carriages, to the out- Iring villages for refuge team-dangers which were multiplied by Imagination, on the other hand every man, from the highest dignitary to | the humblest artizan, Spanish and pilve, soldica and civilian, merchant and mechanic,
every one we repeat, hastened to his post and donned his weapons, confident that the invaders should never march into Manila nolem over bis corpie. Though the enemy was evidently un- assailable, as was seen from the first, by reason of superler srmoor and armament, yet it is cer- tain that nothing but overwhelming force could haye avalled to effect an entrance into our harbour.

The principal vessels of our little squadron being thus put out of acilon, the Yankee ships (some of them badly cilppled by our fire) hauled off to Mariveles to repair damages, stopping the fight till ten o'clock, when they boran a second attack to complete the work of destruction.
