CrRIOrS PANICS ~ MANILA.

From The Kansas City Journal
All Of the recent letters from Manila refer 10
the panics which seized the inhabitants Of the
city at frequent intervals during the days lust
preceding The recent battle. one of these STAN
pcdcs is thus described by Captain Elliott Of
the CoucyNillc company In the 10Th Kansas:
About 30 o'clock the natives and Chinese were
Observed To he running I'm every direction. Pros
entity the soldiers began to come from every ave
nue. in the direction of the barracks They
moved quickly. but with remarkable GOODNESS
ana steady demeaHor Corporal Baber, whom |
had sent on an crrand near the barracks of the
First Battalion came to my room, saluted like
the good soldier that he is and said: Captain.
there is something wrong going on I'm the city.
the natives are fairly flying i'm all directions
the Chinese are running like rats to their holes
and the stores are being closed"
Like reports came in from all directions from
men who had been in different parts Of the city
The call 10 quarters was sounded the rolls were
called, ana every man Of my company not on
duty answered. Here" The same was true Of
three officers We're caught away from home and
did not get I'm good time.
ON the Escota, at the Bridge of Spain and in
the walled city the scene that followed was be-
yond my powers Of description No one seemed
To- be aware of the cause OF the stampede |
never witnessed anything like il I'm my life.
The wave Of excitement swept over the entire
city after tn ma: ncr Il cyclone. The street
cars were damned together In groups; carrabos'
carts piled up against one another and barr-
caded the narrow streets quileZ were inter
locked overturned and their occupants thrown
ont; doors and shutters were closed and barred:
men. women ana children ran hither and thithcr
and crowded and josted one another in their
frantic efforts 10 escape some dreadful direful,
impending calamity.
The soldiers alone behaved with admirable
GOODNESS. Guards were doubled and trebed.
In an Incredibly short space Of time platoons OF
infantry were thrown across each approach to
the great bridge. and no one but soldiers afoot
allowed to pass. Armed men took posses

LockNG rp THE TOWER or LONDON.
a QUAINT ANp ANCIENT CEREMONY.

Cl ANT AND ANCIENT tEkENONf
From The London Graphic.
The main guardhouse at the Tower which has
just been pulled down. is hard by the Bloody
Tower 1t is al this spot that the quaint and
ancient ceremony of locking up the Tower Is
nightly performed, as il has been for centuries.
A few minutes before / o'clock the head warder,
yeoman porter as he is properly styled, clothed
in "A red cloak, carrying a portentous bunch Of
keys, and accompanied by another warder car
rying a lantern. appears in front Of the main
euardhOusc and roars out. Escort Keys! The
sergeant OF the guard turns out with some Of
the men. and follows the yeOman to the outer
gate, the whole party being challenged by all
the sentres with "Who goes there" and the
answer is simply Keys" The gates being
locked, the keys are brought back TO the main
guard Here the sentry stamps and roars out
"Who goes there
keys is the reply.
Whose keys
queen Nictoria's keys"
Advance. Queen Victoras keys. And airs
well"
God bless Queen Victoria" cries the yeoman
porter
Amen" responds the main guard
Pres nj arms" cries the officer on duty. and
amid the rattle Of the salute ne kisses the hilt
Of his sword. The yeCman porter marches off
with the keys and deposits them in the lieuten-
ants lodgings ana from that time throughout
the iyelong night YOU can only circulate within
the Tower precincts if you know the counter
sign.

Frank Fem on the Philippines,

Under date of April 10 Capt. Frank
Fem writer to his brother George G.
Fem in part as follows from Manila:
There is no question as to the wonder
full resources of the islands. Seyera,
islands are known to be rich in minerel
gold, silver, iron and copper. Coal
abounds i'll some localities. The finest of
rare woods are to be found in great
abundance. The soil is very fertile.
producing enormously such crops as rice,
sugar, tobacco and all kinds of tropical
fruits. Various fibre plants gro W to
perfection. In the higher portions of
this Island, Luzon, excellent corn is
grown. have seen it in the markets
both in the ear and shelled. / am told
that the temperature averages much low
er In the mountains than near the coast.
to which my personal observations have
OF necessity been confined Tie
possibilities here cannot be imagined,
Heretofore Spanish cupidity and greed
have stified every enterprise. Taxes and
extortion of all kinds have been resorted
to for the purpose of discouraging the
development of the natural resources of
the islands, For instance, an extensive
placer gold mine owned and worked by
an English company was placed under
tribute to the extent of SO per cent. of its
gross output. Thus the company was
compelled to conduct its business with
one-ffth of its total output only; and
yet the claim was worked for number
of years at profit, Finally, however,
the owners were froze out and literally
the Spaniards killed the goose that laid
the golden egg. So it has been all along
the line.
Although Manila rope is used the
world over there is nothing like modern
rope works on this island. OF course
there are a: few primitive establishments
where inferior rope is made to very
limited extent by manual processes but
nothing more. A few years ago an
American firm started an extensive
rope factory here and furnished it with
the very best machinery. In less than
six months from the day they started
governmental extortions forced them to
give up their business in Manila and re-
move their plant to Hong Kong, where
they are now doing fourishing business
Still there is not much here for com.
mon laborer. A white man cannot work
in this climate either alongside native
or Chinaman; the latter do most of the
work in the city. For man with a
small capital the field for investment is
almost boundless.
