PHILIPPINE MUSIC.
Almost All Tunes Are Pathetic and
Melancholy In Tone.

Almost All Tunes Are Pathetic and
Melancholy In Tone.
Philippine music is becoming popu-
lar. Returning voyagers to the far
distant islands have introduced 1t here.
Like the Hawaiian, it is distinctive,
and characteristic of the national lie
of the people, though without doubt
an adaptation of the sweet and mel
ancholy music of the Spaniards. Flute,
violin and harp are the favorite instru-
ments, as in the Italian, but it is not
like the animated music Of Italy. The
liveliest strains of the Flliplnos are
pathetic and melancholy in tone. SO,
too, are the titles of most OF their
musical compositions, as, for instance,
LOS Dias Ultimas del Verano" CThe
Last Days Of Summer'), "The Wall
of Lost Soul" 1.-The Approach Of Au-
tumn." The harp twangs softly, the
violin bow is gently drawn, while
above all floats the wall of a flute,
which rises and falls in melancholy
cadences. This music speaks as elo-
ouently to the foreigner as to the ma
tive. 1.-THE Approach Of Autumn" is
so plaintive and sad that you can al
most hear the rustic of the forest
leaves, or the signing of autumn
zephyrs through the pine trees.
Church music, too, is Of the same
plaintive character, all pitched in a
minor key.-Indianapolis Sentinel.

A DELIGHTFUL LUNCHEON.
The Hostess Put Every Woman at Her
Ease.

Ease
The charming luncheon given by
Ms. Washington A. Roebling in honor
of Mrs. Daniel Manning, president-gen-
eral of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, was an outburst of spring
hospitality, says Harper's Bazaar. At
this luncheon over $50 women, repre-
senting many different organizations,
including patriotic, literary, civic and
philanthropic clubs, were charmingly
entertained and amalgamated, through
the skill and tact of the hostess, into
sociable and thoroughly acquainted
company of women. By a system of
cards and index lists which hung in
the reception room every guest knew
her table as she entered the large ball
room at Delmonico's, where the lunch
con was spread. Intimate friends Of
Mrs. Roebling presided at the small
tables, that, each holding eight, circled
the large round one in the center of the
room at which were seated Mrs. Roeb-
ling, Mrs. Manning and special dig
nitaries of the D. A. r. and Sorosis as
sembled to do her honor. When the
guests were all seated and before she
had taken her own place, Mrs. Roeb-
ling went about from table to table,
giving word of welcome to every one
and assuring herself that no one at any
table was unknown to all the others OF
its company. When the coffee was
served, Mrs. Roebling arose and in a
few graceful words presented Mrs.
Manning and welcomed her guests.
Then. in the most informal and de-
lightful way, she asked one and an
other of the ladies present to say a
word, her lively challenges bringing
out every time clever and absolutely
impromptu speeches from those to
whom they were addressed.

About half an hour afterward two
men dressed In black gowns came in
to Amines room and requested that
she would follow them, or that force
would be used. Anime made no re-
sistance; they crossed the square; the
gate Of large building was opened;
they desired her to walk in, and in a
few seconds Anime found herself in
one of the dungeons of the Inqulsition.
She was subsequently tried and con-
demned to be burned at the stake as a
sorceress. Subsequently she was ex-
ecuted according to sentence.
We must again return tor Philip and
Krantz. When the latter retired from
the presence Of the Portuguese COM
mandant, he communicated to Philip
what had taken place, and the fabulous
tale which he had invented to deceive
the commandant, by story of buried
treasure they had invented. II said
that you alone knew where the treas
ure was concealed" continued Krantz,

and the men had desisted from their
labor; they laid aside their spades,
looks were exchanged, and all were
ready.
The commandant turned round to
call to and hasten the movements Of
the men who had been sent for the
sacks, when three or four knives sim
ultaneously pierced him through the
back; he fell, and was expostulating,
when they were again buried in his
bosom, and he lay a corpse. Philip
and Krantz remained silent spectators;
the knives were drawn out, wiped and
replaced in their sheaths. The party
then set sail for home.

OScEOLA NUGGETS.

Work has been resumed on the Ser

owned by Messrs. Gaby, Buntin and
Marriott. These gentlemen erected a
four-stamp mill last summer to crush
ores from this and other mines owned
by them They tested their ore thor
oughly before venturing to build a mill,
seven tons of it was shipped to Ely and
worked through the old f0-stamp mill,
which gave returns OF S36 per ton
They made a trial run with their little
mill last summer and found that, while
their ore contained good values, few
improvements were needed to insure
successful treatment, so they closed it
down for time, and not having suf-
ficient capital 10 supply themselves
with the needed attachments, they
threw off their coats and bravely waded
into a ground sluice to wash out placer
gold enough to enable them to go ahead
with their quartz venture. Good luck
seems to have favored them far enough
to allow of some preparations being
made for the coming season. and it is tC

endeavors. Their new copper plates

time the result was practically draw.
The Americans had held their posit ons
firmly and had inflicted severe loss
upon the insurgents, but the latter
were still In their trenches, bold and
defiant, and on their part had piled
up sorry list of casualties in the
American lines.
With daylight came sudden change
on the American side Orders from
Gen. Otis came for an advance, and
from the defensive the Americans
changed to vigorous aggressive pol
icy. To the commanding officers of the
Washington and California regiments
came the word that they We're to lead
the advance, and the men were lined
up for charge. The bugles blew and
then with cheer the line of blue ad-
vanced out from their trenches at
double time, and firing as they stepped
into the open rushed the soldiers and
then with cheer they dashed forward
against the insurgents massed in the
villages of Pace and Sareta. There
was no break in the order, and the
rebels for time held their ground
firing at the charging mass of men,
but as the men came closer and closer
the spirits of the rebels weakened and
they fled headlong. leaving their
trenches and the two villages in the
hands of the victorious Americans

California men. The Nebraska charge
had for its objective a stronge position
at the reservoir near Santa Mera,
which connects with. the main water
works system of Manila. They took
this stronghold with a brilliant dash,
sweeping the insurgents before
them in broken fragments of men.
The Nebraska men here captured a
howitzer Which the rebels had vainly
used to break the charge, and took
also a number of prisoners. On the
right flank over toward Colocon the
two Dakota regiments and the Kansas
volunteers combined for an attack and
here also the Americans were success
full. the charge being unbroken until
the rebels turned and fed, leaving the
Dakota men in possession of their posi-

This charge broke what force re-

from that time on the Americans were

THE fighting soon spread on both
sides until firing was in progress on
all the outposts of the city. The
American troops responded vigorously,
the insurgent fire being heavy and the
attack evidently hurriedly planned.
Firing continued throughout the
night with an occasional cessation
