PHILIPPINE NEWS.

A MANIFESTO. From El Comercio, we re-produce the manifesto of D. Pedro Alejandro Paterno, fre- sident of the new Filipino Cabinet, on his assuming office :

To the Philippine. J'eople

Having been chosen by the honourable Pre- sident of our beloved Republic to form a new Cabinet to direct tic destinies of our country,

must fulfil my duty to my people by declar ing the chief aims of nur policy, based on the Allowing points.

1.

To procure the happiness of our country while maintaining our poltical and individual *rights,

2. To obtain peace on Junourable terms. These have been clearly shown to be the ardent desires of our people, if to uphold these rights it should be necessary to go to war, we are prepared to face the inevitable, but on the other hand if these wishes can be realized in a dignified and hongurable manner by diplo- matic means, then we will not hesitate to seek for peace, which is always desired by the most powerful of nations, and it is only in such times that real happiness and public felicity can exist..

In the interior all disorders will be suppress ed with a fun hand and without consideration of any kind, so that there should be no cause for complain among our own people and among foreigners about our administration of justice,

In the Treasury the greatest regolarity will prevail in the receipts, and it will be equally necessary to exercise the greatest economy in our expenditures.

About two months ago, the Spanish man-of war Alaba, forced the Sabine to tow a steam launch, that was unable to tow against the current a depang with three men they had attacked and killed. The Sadine was also for

ced to patrol the coast near Zamboangan once she was taken to Pasangan for soldiers, then "returning called at a kampong and anchored to call a Datu to take charge of Pasangan. Six Sulas asked why Sabine helped the steam launch? Tungal explained he was forced. They seemed satisfied and went to call the Datu After waiting 2 hours, Sabine returned to Zamboangan where she took over 100 Chinese and their families and brought them to Sulu, When she left, the Alaba was patrolling close to Zamboangan. When leaving, the Sabine was fired upon by the natives, and before they could get clear, one Chinaman was killed and one wounded. These were left on board the

Alab.

Only abot a quarter of Zambuangan is left, the houses being of stone or bricks. All native houses have been burnt down. Tungal heard that a large ship, with American troops, was on its way to Zamboangan..

wife The new Consul-General, has taken a

considerable share in American politics in the past. His career has been a varied one as will be seen from the following which we take from the Washington Post, a journal of influence in the States. Dr. Robert A. Moselcy, Junt., says that paper, "is one of the most prominent Republicans in the South, and has an active political career to look back upon. A native receiving his education at Howard College, of Alaban, the new Consul General, after at Marion, and at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, entered die Con- federate Army and was wounded at the .battle

President Grant appointed him l'ost-Master of Talladega, and be held that office until removed by Cleveland in 1885 for active partisanship. In 1868. Dr. Moseley was elected Chairman of the Republi- can State executive committee, and held that position until 1896, He was elected for the State large in the campaign of 1888 for Harrison; was appointed collector of internal revenue for Alabama by President Harrison, but was not allowed to serve out his tenn, President Cleveland appointing his successor in June 1893, in July, 1894-1 Moseley established the Birmingham Times, and owned and edited the same until last December. He was a delegate to the National Republican Convention in 1876, voting for Benjamin Bristow for President. He was again a delegate in 1880 and in 1884, supporting Arthur the last time, and while not a delegate in 1888, being Chairman of the Sinte Committee he threw hisinfluence for Sherman's nomination. Dr. Moseley is a vigorous newspaper writer the ablest Democratic orators in Alabama in and a speaker of ability, having met several of
