Ninety-Nine, and of the independence of

Effect of the Action.
The effect of the action taken is to
completely renew the peaceful rela-
tions, trade, official, diplomatic, con-
sular, and in all other ways, between
this country and Spain. Following the
appointment of United States min
lister to Madrid and a Spanish minister
to Washington, it is expected that con-
suls will be sent to Barcelona and the
other large places in Spain where our
consular representations were suspend
ed by the war. At the same time Span
ish consuls will be appointed through
this country. For a time the trade and
navigation between the two countries
will proceed without treaty protection,
as the war put an end to the CONNER
eial treaty, but treaty of trade, navi-
CATION and commerce suitable TO the
new conditions and the need of both
countries and also an eXtradition treaty
will be negotiated soon.

buftAloes is all collected in one vessel and this mixture is made into a kind of jelly. It is amusing to see the natives skin the animals They make bun gling job of it. With the hide the outer layer of meat is taken of. and after ward native boys strip this from the hide. Next comes the work of disem- boweling, and after the entrails are re- moved they are taken to another room and there prepared for food by native women. Every part of the animal is used Even the hoofs are taken to vats and the gelatin extracted After the carcass is quartered and hung upon the hooks it IS taken of the bones and then sent to the native market houses. About 900 animals are slaughtered nightly.
 To Americans horse meat Ts something new, but @ the Spanish ana sstfve$ who endured fhe siege when rafssoA for a peso this meat is a l1IurY. Most of the ponies slaughtered are old and unfit for any service They bring only about 10 pesos st the mstadero. It is amusing to watch the processes of butchering a pony. With the Chinese horse meat is a favorite. Dogs are killed on a different plan Of the smaller ani- mals which enter the slaughter yard the pig is the only one which can make any pretensions to being fat. Such are the scenes about the place where is prepared the meat eaten by the 800, 900 people of Manila, but this is only one of many queer and interesting institutions to be seen in the capital of the Philippines

 Lausdale was 6rs, shot in the leg and Monaghan was shot through the heart while defending his con- rsde. Hunt, a seaman of the Porss polse, was stunned by a club, but revived after the rebels had GU, of one of his ears. 4 shell from the Royalist burst among them and they ran, enabling Hunt 10 escape.
 The bodies of the dead men were recovered, but the sailors ears aud the officers heads had been cut off, They were afterward recovered by French priests and buried with thelr remains. Three corpses of rebels were found near Lsnsdale's body. The priests buried eight others.
