TERRIBLE EARTHoUAKE.-A London de-
spatch says the earthquake in the PHILIPPINE
Islands affected in terrible manner the small
islands of Camarines, five miles from Misamis
Fer some months previously, especially in
March, there was a succession of violent
shocks which opened extensive crevices in the
EARTH Finally on May first the level plain
near the village of Catarmin began gradually
to subside until the tops of the houses became
level with the surface of the earth. This re-
markable phenomeon attracted large num-
Der of people, when suddenly some terrific
shocks were felt and before the laundering re-
verbations had died away the whole level
plain fell in engulGng $50 persons. The plain
became the crater of volcano 1900 feet wide
and from it smoke, ashes and stones were
thrown into the air.
A pause until dark succeeded when there
was another explosion and rain of fire fol-
lowed. The woods became ignited and men
and cattle were flying before the flames The
spectacle was frightful in the extreme The
volcano confirm IS to eject stone and earth
The in habitants have left the island which
formerly contained population of 26, 900 souls
LONDON letters confirm the rumor that
Prince Arthur, who has been for some time
animated by belle passion for Lady Annie
Churchill, daughter of the Duke OF Marlbor-
ongh, has been encouraged by the successful
result OF Lord Lorne's suit to avew his love
and the proposed marriage is now under dis
cussion at headquarters" AS far as rank is
concerned, the point must be considered solely
as matter of principle. there being not
shadow of difference in that respect between
the marriage now sought ana that already con-
coded. The daughter of the Duke of Marbor-
ough holds precisely the same relative position
as does the son Of the Duke of Argyll. The
families of both are equally illustrious, and
both are connected one way or another with
half the leading houses of the realm. But
there does exist one ground of objection, which
will probably turn the scale unfavorable for the
royal lover. The Duchess of Marlborough is
halfsister to the Marquis of Londonderry, who
has been IN iDcurable lunatic for years. She
is also sister to the late Lord Adolphus Vane
and for some time before his death he
was afflicted in similar manner. Moreover,
child of another of her brothers is strongly sus.
pected to be laboring under the same fatal
faint. Such considerations would naturally
interfere with matrimonial alliance, royal or
menial
