SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-Among
the passengers of the steamer China
from the Orient was H. d. Levinsohn,
the representative in New Zealand of
one of the largest cigar factories in
Manila. Mr.. Levinsohn has just come
from Manila, where, he says, the insur-
rection of the natives is still in prog
ress.
From present indications, and from
what l could learn during my sojourn
in MANILA he said, the Spanish au-
thorities will never be able to subdue
the insurrectionists. 1t is common re-
port in Manila that the papers are not
allowed to print the truth. They are
all under press censorship. 1t was
credibly reported in the city shortly
after recent engagement that the
natives had killed sixty of the Spanish
soldiery, and lost only two of their
number. AS soon as the rainy weather
sets in, which will be very shortly, you
may hear some further reports of hos
tilities, and the victories will be all on
the side of the rebels.
A regiment of Spanish soldiers came
INTO Manila from the interior during my
stay in the city, and they were the sad
dest lot of men 1 ever saw. Some of
them wore shoes, and others did not.
Many We're without hats, and all We're
more or less distressed for want of

BRITISH MARKETS.
Prices Show a Continued Shrink
age of Profit Margins.

MANCHESTER, July 25.-The mar
ket during the week was firm but
scarcely healthy. The existence of
wretchedly low bids has given import
ant relief in some directions, and the
shutting down of looms has contribu-
ted to lessen the supply on balance. The
week closed with the market slightly
higher and yarns selling fairly, though
prices show a continued shrinkage of
profit margins and some say an in
crease of loss. The outlook is uncer-
tain, because the movement is disap-
pointing
LONDON, July 25.-The money mar
ket remains in extreme ease. The gold
demand continues for the Continent,
and incoming supplies are still inter-
rupted en- route to the bank. The flu
ture of the market seems to depend
upon the money relations of England
and the United States
The Stock Market was closed on Sat
urday for repairs, which will occupy a
week. While the market during the
week retained its firmness, there was
no increase in business. The American
market attracted the largest share of
attention, although the prices were en-
tirely due to American purchases, bas-
ed on good crop reports. Canadian Pa

WHICH HAS PRECEDENCE.
A Disputed Point Among Army
and Navy Officers Settled.

WASHINGTON, July %. An echo
of the coronation ceremony, which led
to SO much correspondence on such sub
jectS as diplomatic uniforms, court
procedure and matters of precedence
at official ceremonies, is found in an
opinion just rendered by the Attorney
General touching the respective rights
of volunteer and regular army and
navy officers to wear the uniform OF
the highest rank they attained during
the rebellion.
Colonel John F. McCook, who repre-
scented the United States Army, and
Captain G. H. Wadleigh, the represen-
tative of the United States Navy, at
the coronation, had some difficulty over
the question of precedence, growing
out of the fact that McCook claimed the
lead by virtue of his volunteer rank, as
shown by his uniform. Minister Brock
inridge sustained the army officer. and
the State Department was obliged to
call upon the War and Navy Depart
ments for their construction of the
uniform of their highest volunteer
rank.
The direct issue was presented in a
recent application of James Z. Farrell,
Brevet Major of United States FOlun-
teers, and late Captain of the Fifth
New York Artillery. The two depart
ments were unable to agree upon the
matter and it was referred to the At
torney-General. The latter decided
that only ex-officers may wear such
uniforms and bear such rank. In
other words, no officer at present on the
army rolls can wear the uniform of the
volunteer rank, but persons honorably
mustered out of the volunteer service
and who have no army connection
now. may wear it on occasions of cere-
mony.
This is in line with the former con-
struction given to the law by the War
Department, but it appeared that the
practice was about to be reversed.
which would have been a severe blow
to many thousands Of volunteer OIL

The Senate not being confined as to
the scope of its legislation, dwelt upon
a number of important subjects both
in and out of executive session. One
Of these which attracted Worldwide
attention was the arbitration treaty
negotiated by President Cleveland with
Great Britain. After exhaustive con-

brought to bear upon the Senate by
religious and commercial bodies, the
treaty was rejected.

will, in a short time have to meet an
assessment of 100 cents on their stock
Comptroller Eckels has been advised

that it will take fully that amount to
raise enough to pay off the claims
against the bank, very large part of
the nominal assets of the bank being
