Unique Pianos.

All manner of articles in place of
wood have been used in the manufac-
ture of pianos, says one of the greatest
English piano makers. Perhaps the
most successful of these is paper. of
which many pianos of exquisite tone
and appearance have been made. The
Duke of Devonshire has one OF the
finest specimens of the paper piano
this being of French make. and deco
rated most ornately with pictures by
Fiench artists. The duke gave five
hundred gulneas for this, mainly. no

why Spain Has Failed In Cuba.

General Weyler should have subdued the
rebellion within 90 days. No unpreju-
diced military authority who has studied
the two forces and made due allowance
for the advantages possessed by those who
fight upon their native soil will dissent
from this proposition. There are Spanish
generals in Cuba who admit its truth.
There are Others who have returned, dis
gusted, to Spain because their suggestions
of plans to end the war were not allowed
to be disclosed at the palace. A four
months stay in Cuba, beginning In Janu-
airy and ending with April of this year,
much of which time was passed in observ.
ing the forces in the field, has resulted in
the conviction on my part that it has not
been the purpose of General Weyler to end
the rebellion. Conversations with Span.
ish officers, from generals to corporals,
showed that the same motives that were
evidently actuating the commander in al
lowing the war to drag along were prompt.

The Manila Rebellion.

Tacoma, Wash, August 30.-The latest
advices from Manila show that the re-
bellion is still far from being crushed. A
determined attack has been made on the
important town Of Magcarling, in La
Guna province, by a party of rebels under
the command of Miguel Malvar. The
Spanish troops being outnumbered, re-
tired to the convent, where they fortified
themselves until the arrival of the troops
sent by General Imramillo, when the
rebels retired, leaving twenty-five dead
and carrying their wounded off as usual.
Spanish loss is not stated.
The Friar Priest of the town fought
like lion. In the Sulican province,
parties of rebels attacked the towns Of
Macanyanan, Angal and Bigoa, but were
repulsed with losses. In San Ildefonso,
in the same province, party of three
hundred insurgents made an attack on
the hamlet Of Bulac but after severe
fighting, were repulsed with loss OF
twenty killed.
In Pampanga province party of two
hundred rebels were surprised near the
town of San Luis and driven off with u
loss of forty killed. At Magalang
another partysof Berries 1wereR driven off
with loss Of eighteen killed.
All the above mentioned places belong
to the Center of Luzon district, in the

Pirates in Canton River.

Tacoma, Wash, August 3O.-The steam
er Columbia from Yokoho1na brings
Oriental advices up to July 81.
News has just reached Hong Kong of
the prevalence of PIRATES on the Canton
river. One Of the sons of Captain Chung
Fewi, a Straits millionaire, Chung All
Phin, was the victim. He, in company
with few of his relatives hired a boat
and were proceeding to their native place.
On the second day the boat stuck in the
mud and couldEnot proceed. During the
night gang of men with painted faces
and fully armed, boarded the boat. With
revolvers levelled at the passengers, they
commanded silence while four men began
at once to look for plumber. All Phin
brought from the Straits, jewelry
amounting in value to $50, 900 and $40, 900
in cash. This the pirates took beside
clothing, ect.
When they had satisfied themselves that
nothing more was to be obtained, they
left the boat after threatening the victims
with instant death If they made noise
till twelve hours afterward. In the morn
ing information was sent down to Canton
but before the authorities had time to get
a gunboat up the river, the pirates had
made their escape.
