NEWS FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
All News Passes Through the Hands Of
Censor-Leader Ruiz Shot.

Vancouvre, b. c., Feb. 1.-THE steam
er Empress of China, just arrived from
the Orient, brought advices as follows:
Information obtaInable about the Phil
ippine rebellion is not of a satisfactory
nature, and there is evidence of work Of
q censor ON the face of it. Spanish
troops are still pouring into Manila from
every available point at the rate of 1900
per steamer There must be from 1900
to 10000 in the Philippine islands at
the present moment. The fighting has.
been principally in the province of Bella
can, and nothing but Spanish success is-
heard of.
Under date of January 4, the follow
ing advices have been received:
Since the arrival Of Capt Gen. Polieyja
some 400 to 500 rebels have been shot
in Manila, including the noted leader
Ruiz. He died brayely, and, to some ex-
tent, dramatically. He was dressed in his
best. He requested to be shot with his
face turning towards the rebel positions.
This was denied him, however. He re-
fused to kneel. The evident preponder-
ance of oninion is that it was a mistake
to have shot him.

The Curious TrainiDg to which They Ara
Subjected In the Far East.
The spectacle of an old, bearded
man, with long, tangled locks, dress
ed in a fantastic costume, attracted
the attention of p~assersby n day
in one of the large seaports of ia
pan. Some said he was an Aino,
pointing to his long hair and beard,
and that he was a bear worshiper
from Nagasaki.
The old man stood on the deck Of
a houseboat quite as disreputable as
he himself appeared and gave an
exhibition that was in every respect
remarkable. He held an old brass
drum, upon which he beat with sew.
eral sticks, keeping time with his
foot, and in obedience to this strange
summons a number of common high
back river tortoises of various sizes
crawled out Of a box, and, forming
themselves in line, began to march,
one after the other, to the slow, dis
cordant music. Around they went
in a circle, the big ones ahead, the
smaller ones following on behind,
and at the word of command the
larger ones took their places be-
tween two boxes and formed a liv-
ing tortoise bridge, over which the
small ones passed from box to box,
the others then following suit,
whereupon all the tortoises arranged
themselves in groups, like plates
about a table.
The Japanese have another tor
toise, which they train to perform
simple tricks in the water. 1t is a
little creature, about three or four
inches long, that from a life of in
activity has become covered with a
long growth of green pond weed,
which streams behind like hair as il
swims along.
These people + also famous for
their strange fishes of the carp fam.
lily. Some are short and chubby,
with eyes that protrude SO far from
the head that they look like tele.
scopes or the stalked eyes of some
crabs, with which the little crea.
lures can see in every direction.
Others have a broad lacelike tail,
that hangs gracefully like a mass
of lace and appears to be divided in.
to three parts. Others have a per
feet black cross marked upon the
back, which, against the deep red
which il the prevailing color, pre-
sents a magnificent appearance
Others are called tho fish of thu
white cross, the latter being white
against red.
These beautiful creatures arr
trained to perform a variety O.
tricks. They rise at the sound of
/ bell, ring a bell themselves, follow
one another in a row at the signal
and then in many ways show theil
remarkable intelligence.
The Japanese also import tn
famous fighting fishes from India
which they keep in an aquarium
and match in contests, which are, j
must be said, decided without blood

show no little ferocity.

over 100 admirers of the manly art
witnessed fast 10-round glove contest
last night in Howley's hall between the
two lightweights, Stephen Judge, of
this city, and Martin Judge, of Phila-
delphia.
The Philadelphia lad proved his su-
periOrity and might have had the less
experienced Scrantonian out in two
more rounds, but a draw had been
agreed upon in case both men were up
and willing to continue after the tenth
round, and the decision was a draw in
accordance with the agreement. 1t
was a bitter fight from the beginning,
but was marred by two circumstances,
the disposition of both men to clinch
and the certainty that the Scranton
Judge was outclassed.
over an hour was consumed in a
quibble over the receipts, the Philadel-
phian holding out for his guarantee
of $75 and expenses. The proceeds at
81 per admission would leave little or
nothing for the Scranton end of the
exhibition, and the latter debated a
long while in their efforts to get the
Philadelphians to waive a point or two.
A compromise was finally hit upon
