Archery In n City,s streets.

The military students of Tung- Chou
are conspicuous nuisance. They have
a way of using one of the main streets
in the city as a convenient spot for
practicing archery, and we have been
repeatedly obliged to edge mp to the ex-
treme edge of the footpath to avoid
possible eccentric flights of arrows.
Characteristically it never occurs to
them to suspend operations for others
safety or convenience, and minor acct
dents must not be uncommon.
A lad was brought to the hospital the
other day who had been struck by an
arrow just below the eye as he was edg-
ing along the highway. He was net
badly hurt and probably regarded his
injury as incidental to the ordinary
risks Of travel on city streets.

belief. 1t has never been claimed
that hamberlain's Pain Balm would

NEW ORDER FOUNDED.
Prince of Wales Organizes the League
of Mercy.

London, March 1.-The Prince of
Wales presided over an influential
meeting held at Marlborough house to-
day, to found a new order, entitled the
League of Mercy, in which those who
collect and promote the collection of
subscriptions for the Prince of Wales
hospital fund are to be enrolled as
members. In the course of speech
explaining the scheme, he announced
that a president would be appointed
in each parliamentary division of Lon
don and of the neighboring counties,
and that q large number had already
been appointed, including the Duke of
Westminster, the Duke of Lorne. Baron
Camden, Earl Darlington, the. Earl of
Dartmouth, the Earl of Mansfield, the
Earl of March, the Earl of Onslow the
Earl of Verulam and many other prom
inent men, all of whom were present
at the meeting. The Prince of Wales
also announced that all persons ad-
mitted to the order must be approved
by the queen, but that the order would
confer no rank, dignity or social pre-
cedence, while nobody would be en-
titled to admission unless he or she had
worked five years for the league. The
Princess of Wales has consented to be-
come the lady president of the new
order.

Manila, March 1.-The rebels are very
active at Caloocan and Malabon. They
evidently intend to mount a battery in
front of the Malabon church, destroyed
by the fire of the United States moni-
tor Monadnock on Feb. q. They can
be seen throwing up earthworks for
guns and emplacements.
There was the usual deSultory firing
yesterday evening and today, but only
one casualty resulted, Private Parks,

The Nebraska volunteers at the res

body Of the enemy this morning. The
rebels scattered in the jungle after the
first Yolley.
The United States transport Tacoma

horse or mule.
The Negros commissioners have en-
tertained several American officers and
British subjects at their hotel in return
for the compliment paid them by Gen
eral Otis. They sailed for Negros to-
day.

The United States transport Arizona
has arrived here. Generally speaking
the situation is unchanged.
Manila, March 1T was unusually
quiet along the whole line last night
only a few shots being fired from a
rebel field gun near the cemetery.
The enemy are apparently busy pre-
pairing their defenses, realizing that the
Americans will attack them when the
expected reinforcements arrive.
1t is reported that Aguinaldo will only
release the Spanish clerical prisoners
upon condition that all landed and
other property that they own shall be
to the rebels and also that
the native priests shall be recognized.
Last night twelve rebels in two ca
noes, were discovered padding out from
Paranaque. When the Buffalo's search
light was turned on the rebels they used
a calcium light signal arranged with
the picket boats. The searchlight was
taken off and the rebels attempted to
cross the bay, but a patrol boat over
hauled them after a chase and took
them prisoners to Manila.
