ACCORDING to the statements OF people
who have just arrived at Hong Kong from
the Island of Balabac, south of the Island
OF Palawap, there is no truth in the report
that the Spanish there have been massacred
by the Filipinos. They say that the story
Is an invention of the priests to prejudice
the Filipino cause declaring also that there
are not more than q half dozen Spaniards
in the Island and that all who have been
killed fell in warfare.
Four unknown Americans attempted to
hold up the Mexican Central passenger
train from the South at point about six
miles south of Ciudad Juarez. M sxico, last
Sunday night at eight o'clock. While the
robbers were attempting to cut of the bag

the conductor rushed forward to see what
caused the trouble and the robbers ran for
their horses and decsmped. A detachment
OF soldiers Is in pursuit.
News was received at Vancouver, b. c.,
last Sunday Of a tremendous landslide near
Spencer Bridge, on the Canadian Pacific
railway. The recent thaw had the effect OF
loosening the sides OF a small mountain,
which overhangs the Fraser river at that
point. This mountain has long been an OBJ.
ject Of curiosity to travellers owing to its Pc
culiar position, its fiat summit, extending q
considerable distance over the river, which
Is narrow at that point. Shortly after mid
night Sunday night, with roar that could
be heard over a mile, fully hundred acres
OF the hill from twenty to Atty feet in depth
crashed into the Fraser, damming 1t com
pletey and sending the water in torrents
over the fertile Nicola valley. The course
OF the river was changed completely.
