The advent of so many military owners and riders is, howeyer, a little confusing. Given good. weather a big meeting may be expected if only for the outing. People are in the mond to go anywhere and do anything to break the mono- tony which is, doubly noticeable this year after last year's excitement. This was instanced the other day when good houses flocked to' the poor productions of the Taylor Carrington troupe.

A recent issue of the New Press states that the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey has made. plans for charting the harbours and coast of the Philippine islands.

The work, however, will not be confined to the most important ports, but many of the minor harbours that serve as paints of distrib- ution for the inter-island trade will also be charted. There is at present little hap material that is of any service in the navigation of these minar ports, though they play an important part in the commerce of the Philippines.

THE MANILA COMMISSARY SCANDALS.
Manila papers of the 29th ult. report that Commissary Sergeant Henry Wilson, U. S A., who was tried by Court-Martial for selling public property in violation of the Sixtieth Article of War, was found guilty and sentenced to dishonourable discharge and three years imprisonment at hard labour. He was taken yesterday to Bilibid, where the sentence will
be executed.

VISIT OF THE COMMISSION FROM CUBA.
The mission of the five delegates from Cuba to Washington to confer with the President upon the terms of the "Platt amendment " is a theme for considerable newspaper discussion; but the discussion falls to reveal any changes of opinion on the main question of our rela- tions to Cuba. La Lucha, of Havana, déclares that that the commission is "on a useless crrand," first, because the Platt amendment "being a law of the United States, the President has no power to alter it," and, further, because the Cubans really favour the acceptance of the terms. It says that the amendment "has wrought miracles in six weeks," and adds:"All the planters, com merce, industries, the representatives of almost all the wealth in Cuba and over one-half of the men who compose the radical parties, have publicly declared they accept the amendment, and even the delegates of the convention all privately say that they accept it, or that there is no remedy but to accept it as the means of con- stituting the Cuban country as soon as possible." If the present convention does not accept the amendment, says La Lucha, another one will be elected that will.

AGENDA.
TO-MORROW,
The New York Tribune (Rep) thinks that one good result of the commission's visit will be the "valuable information concerning the United States" that the commissioners will carry back to their people, and the Boston Transcript (Rep.) thinks it will do them good to learn how different American public opinion is from what anti-Administration papers represent it to be," for the members of the convention have plainly been influenced by some of these papers, and possibly by some of our politicians, to the extent of believing that the Administration and the country are not in, unity on the Cuban question. Indeed, it seems: Daylight D. & Co's-steamer Thales leaves to the New York Times (Ind.) that "the light and knowledge brought back from Washington by the commission ought to end the temporiz ing and convince at least a majority of the dele- gates that the short way and the right way to independance and the establishment of self- government is the acceptance of the terms of the Platt amendment. The St. Louis Globe-German Bethesda Chapel, West Point Democrat (Rep.) goes still further by saying
