CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVALS
SUNDAY SCHOOLS OF TRINITY AND
 ST. PAUL,S HOLD THEIRS.

A Magnificent Tree at St. Paups-santa
 Claus and His Donkey Icicle, Appear
 Pretty Exercises at Trinity.
 Among the most interesting, to the juvenile mind, of any of the Christmas trees given this year, were those given to the Sunday school children of St. PauPs church yesterday afternoon and evening. The Christmas tree is the an- nual event of importance to the Sunday school classes of St, Paul's church, talk ing the place, as it does, of the picnics and other forms of pleasure indulged in by the children of other churches All the efforts of the Sunday school teach CTS go to making this annual event as pleasant as possible for the children, and needless to say it is. And the tree this year was not behind the trees of other years, nor Santa Claus one whit less generous Indeed, the good old soul seemed to have had a more pros
 porous year than usual and every boy and girl was loaded with presents and
 good things to the hearts content.
 In the afternon the primary and inter- mediate classes were taken care of and
 in the evening the older boys and girls There were about 300 present in the evening, and after few carols were sung and they had listened to the re-
 marks of the Rev. Mr. Lines, a tele-
 gram was received addressed to him
 from Santa Claus, saying that he would be present that evening.
 It was no sooner read than a chatter of hoofs was heard on the roof accom- panied by a noise of scraping as he went down the chimney. Presently a
 voice from the cellar was heard asking for the Rev. MT. Rope. On being told that there was no such gentlemen it developed that he wanted the Rev. MT. Lines, and on being assured of his pres ence Santa Claus appeared. He ex- plained that one of his reindeer had
 broken leg and instead introduced his donkey "Icicle," who accompanied | him. 1cicle was very intelli- gent and kept the children in the best | or humOr, While old santa himself QlS- l trihuted the presents with the help of | the Rev. MT. Phillips. After each child l had received his or her present and
 their pockets filled with popcorn, candy
 and oranges, old Santa returned after
 wishing each a Happy New Year. and
 promising to come again next year. l The Sunday school classes of Trim l ity church were also treated to their
 annual Christmas tree last evening. | About $50 children of the school and
 their parents were present. The ex-
 ercises opened with prayer after which
 the Rev. MT. Scovill gave short talk l to the children. Carols were sung and
 music rendered by the Sunday school
 orchestra. A large tree decked with
 popcorn and candles and glistening in
 a most fascinating manner was set up l in the middle of the floor and present l for each child was somewhere among l it's branches. The presents were dis I tributed by the Rev. MT. Scovill and I MT. Pickett.

EARLY FOREIGN NEVIS.
Insurgents in I1ofIo Their Flag Raised
 There on Monday.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Just before noon to-day dispatch came from Gen. eral Otis that at once confirmed the fears of the officials of the war depart ment as to what had taken place at Ilo flo, capital of the island of Panay and second city of the Philippines. It ap- pears that the American forces had ar rived too late on the scene and that the insurgents had hoisted their flag over the city, which they have been besieg- ing for months. The news was contain ed in the following message from Gen. eral Otis:
 Manila, Dec. 27. "Adjutant General, Washington:
 Sent Colonel Potter on fast vessel to Iloilo on 24th to communicate with Spanish general Rios; latter evacuated evening of 24th and Potter thirty-nine hours late; insurgents took possession of city on 26th, and Potter found Agui- naldo's flag flying. Cannot now report probable results; will not hear from there for four days, as no cable com munications. Spanish forces have evac- uated all stations in southern islands except Zamboanga, Mindanao, by or ders, as they say, from Madrid.
 ''Otis'
 The evacuation by the Spaniards of all the Philippine ports. as reported by General Otis, although doubtless inspir- ed by a desire to secure their safety by concentration, undoubtedly has done much to complicate the problem already presented to the war department of ex- tending the military jurisdiction of the United States over the islands It will now be necessary to expedite the exc cution of the original plans, and it may be fully expected that within a week important events will have taken place in the Philippines
 It is presumed that General Otis will demand the surrender of Iloilo into his hands, and this demand may at once raise the issue between the insurgents and our own government as to the pos session of the islands
