CENSORSHIP ABOLISHED.
No Restriction Now on Press Dis
patches From Manila.

patches From Manila.
Censorship on press dispatches to and
from Manila has been abolished.
This announcement at the war depart
ment followed an expression of feeling
by the naval officers on duty here at
what they thought an inadequate report
in the press dispatches of the part play
ed by the marines in the military opera
lions of Sunday When this matter was
brought to the attention Of Adjutant
General Corbin, he stated that no censor
ship of press dispatches has existed since
Sept, 0 and that correspondents in the
Philippines are now allowed to send any
information they desire.
Under the present arrangement at Ma
Mia correspondents are required to file a
copy Of each dispatch they send at army
headquarters as a part of General Otis
records and for purposes of reference
should any objection be raised to mat
ter cabled. 1t is said that this is now
the only condition imposed. 1t has been
intended that the correspondents at Ma
Mia should find out for themselves that
the censorship had been removed, and
the admission yesterday was premature.

were the guests of Kittatiny Hose
Co., Of Newton, upon the excursion of
the latter to Middletown, N. Y, yes
terday, the occasion being the an

that town.
The Kitties" fully sustained their
reputation as a crack fire organization,
while their fancy evolutions dur
ing the march were greeted with CON
tinued applause Kittatiny Hose, so
the Morristown contingent reported

in fact the Independent delegation it
would appear have decided to affiliate
permanently with the departments Of
either Newton, Middletown or Goshen,
or all three.

At Wcsttown, Chester county. where
the Friends big school celebrated its one
huntlrcdth anniversary on June 10, they
have at the school II kind of diary, or log,
which has been kept lip continuously for
100 years, aud in which tn" state Of the
weather every day during all that time
has been noted down. The log was con-
suited for an suspicious date in the mat
ter of weather for the anniversary, and it
showed that every June 10 has been clear
since the beginning Of the schools career
Then some said, Since it hasn't rained
for 100 years on June 10 we had better
avoid that date, for it will be sure to rain
then thi; year" But others said that
reason and philosophy indicated June 10
to be a day devoted, from some unknown
atmospheric CAUSES, to sunshine and blue
skies. The latter set of people carried
the day and the school celebrated its an
nivcrsary ON Saturday. But 1t rained so
hard that the guests had to sit around in
tents. Philadelphia Record.

her fate. True, there are hundreds Of uni
Identified derelicts floating about the seas,
and some of them may be the vessels
which have so mystcriously vanished.
1t is appalling to think Of such myster.
les as the fates of these vessels, which,
setting sail with hundreds of passengers
to whom the voyage perhaps promises
happiness. wealth and all the joys Of life,
never reach their destination and are new
err again heard Of.
Take the case of the Burvie Castle as
striking example. She vanished. not in
midocean, but between the ports Of Lon
don and Plymouth. Into the latter port
she should have put on her way to Aus
tralia. But she never reached Plymouth,
and not living soul knows how or where
she should have been lost so near to land
without SO much as a spar being washed
ashore to tell Of her fearful fate.
Equally mysterious is the case of the
Atalanta. This famous training vessel
was stationed of Bermuda with more
than $50 souls aboard. Early in 1880 she
set sail for a short cruise, and from that
day to this she has never been heard Of.
A very considerable percentage of the
vessels which disappeared forever in this
mysterious manner were running between

might be thought that the terrific seas Of
the vast Atlantic were responsible. but 1t
has been proved that many vessels were
lost when the ocean was almost at dead
calm.
A large sailing ship left New Orleans
some years ago for London. Thrice she
was spoken and reported all well, and she
was facing exquisite weather and
smooth sea at the third time. Yet it is
known she was lost with all hands within
"a hours, and to this day no trace Of her
has been discovered.
In the early part of 1892 a five mast
bark, the Maria, newly constructed
vessel and at that time the third largest
in the mercantile marine, set sail iii
beautiful weather from one of the big
gest ports in Cochin China for Ham
burg with every promise of fair voy-
age. But she never reached Germany
She vanished shortly after being spoken
off the west coast Of Africa. and nothing
has been found since to indicate the fate
that befcll her.
Another vessel running between Eng
land and America which met an end Of
a kind none but those who shared it ever
knew was the first class steamship Pres

journey 10 Liverpool In the spring Of
1871, having on board II full crew of ex-
perenced hands and officers and II distin-
guished company of passengers.
She loft New York in fine weather, in
splendid condition and with no reason
for fearing anything SHE was likely to
meet. But she was never spoken and
never heard Of again. and, although 81
years have passed, no one yet knows to
what dire calamity her end was due
