who was in port last week, was at Cebu when the place was occupied by the Americans. Previous to the arrival of the latter, he used to see the Filipinos, about 500 in number, drilling every morning, but the force does not seem to have been a particularly formidable one, as there were only about four guns to every 100 mon, the rest drilling with bamboos. Captain Green, with H.M.S. Pigmy, was there at the time for the protection of British property and subjects. He went ashore and was at once surrounded by Filipinos, who, how- ever, did not venture to molest him, knowing full well that the guns of the Pigmy were trained upon them. Captain Hallstrom got bis cargo of 2,500 tons of sugar without any trouble. As soon as the American war-ship hove in sight the Filipinos gave up at once.
At the Magistracy on Saturday morning, Hugh Jones, a private in the Welsh Fusiliers ("A" Company No. 4542), pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a watch, valued at from $2 to 83, from a shop at 154, Queen's Road. The shopkeeper said that about nine o'clock on Friday night he was standing at the door when defendant came up to him and asked him to show him the watch produced. He took it out of the case and handed it to defendant, who ran away with it. He chased him to a hotel and called a constable to arrest him.-P. C. Mac- donald (75) said the previous witness pointed defendant out to him. He followed him into the Globe Hotel and searched him but, could not find the watch. On the way to the Police- station defendant said he had the watch and pulled it out of his stocking. Defendant was the worse for drink at the time, but was capable of understanding what he did. He admitted having been convicted before of larceny.-De- fendant now said he had not been convicted before, and that he did not remember telling the constable he had been, He was sentenced to a month's imprisonment.
