Manila's Carnival.

A DISTINCT SUCCESS.

THE GOVERNOR GENERAL AND THE HONG- KONG NEWSPAPERMEN,

(By Our Special Representative.)

Manila, February 3rd, 1909. With the clashing of gune, which could be heard all over the town; the swishing of rockets; and to the sweet tunes of aboist half a dezen different bands, including our own Raj puts, Manila's great Carnival was opened ye terday by Vice Governor Forbany,

That it was a success-and a great one at that can not be credited unless 1000 with ‚one's own eyes; and those who saw this big, show, on which many thousands of golden, dol lars have been spent, imagined that they were -in Dreamland.

1.

It was about four o'clock that the Vice-Gov. ernor steamed into the Carnival grounds in his Automobile. Of course, he was received by the Committee at the gate and was accom panied around the scane. The crowds pre- sent oxceeded everything yet seen in this city. b. It would be absolutely'impossible to give no recount of all the things that weie exhibited on the grounds, but I will endeavour to detail a faw interesting facts, First of all.there was the appearance of the semi-wild' men had wo mea from the provinces - Seli-Z-mbozaga and Jolo. These people were under the com· mand of American offices, and their war, and social dances caused much commeat, From the provinces were exhibited such things as ancient Moorish fighting weapons, textiles, spongas, brass and copper work made by the people, war boats (iesembling a 'small Chinese Juck) and the last but not the least seven typical Moorish matsheds which attracted much attention. This part of the ground drew large crowds, dus so doubt to the fact of the wild and barbaric' nature of, the bibe.

Hemp look up a large space ai exhibits, but little or sobady paid much attention to that kind of product. This material, and the fident and best quality yet seen, was grown by American planters on irrigated ground, which, according to my informant (Mr. Jóbo S. Gillies) by this method of farming is responsi ble for the increased quantity and quality of bemp grown in these islands,

The freedom of the city is thein. And the Britishers recognise the honours paid to them, At noon to-day, the Governor-General, Mr. James F. Smith, received the Hongkong and Shanghai newspapermes at the Ayuamiento, Accompanying the pressmen were Rev. Mr. Gro., W. Wright and Mr. Samuel Trisse! of the Manila Times. The venerable old gentleman expressed his satisfaction.

in many words at the journalists' presence 10 the city, and he wished them a good time, adding "f. I can do anything for you all it will be done." The interview lasted about half an hour, during which time the Governor General planned a tour for the press represca tatives to the waterfalls fo the provinces, and afterwards a trip to Baguio, the summer resort of the Philippine-Islands. In-ail of these sutings the Governor-General will be present and with his kiadly manner and his affectionate smile a good time is looming on the horizon,

Re-examined, witness said no che could have taken the chaudu on board and deposited it where it was found without going through the engine room.

Mohamed Arib, Revenue Officer No 1 told of bis discovery of the bag.

Cross-examined by Mr. Elliot, witness said that he did not go direct to the store.room when he went on board. First he waited till Sergeant Mussol got permission from the Captain to make the search.

The Farm Testar stated that the tios con lained Amoy chandu, valued at $624. The weight was alo tabils.

This concluded the evidence, and Mr. Elliot addressed the Court, arguing that every possi. bls precaution had been taken and that the chandu was not On board then. It was quite phosible that the chandu

was put on board as Tanjong Pagar. He would submit that the Farmer was informed that the chandu was there by the one who put it there, and that the ship was not used for the importa tion of the chandu at all. The door of the room in which it was found was directly op

Mr. Carver addressed the Coust in conclu- sion, contending that it was a member of the Chinese crew who was importing the chandu, as was usually the case when such importa tions occurred. It was a curious coincidence that two members of the crew deserted just as the opium was being found, and that one of these was described by the Captain as having charge of the place where the chandu, was found.
