rives at Manfla-Report From Gen
 eraI otis.
 Manila, June 21.-General Wheaton reports that he has occupied Perez Das marinas after slight opposition on tn, part of the enemy. The town was found to be deserted. It is a miserable, worth less village, surrounded by swamps anc altogether so valueless place that it i: not deemed advisable to hold it.
 General Wheaton goes to Buena Vists today, where it is reported that the in surgents have established the arsena and powder mill which they removed from linus. A reconnaissance will b. necessary to develop the position of ths enemy.
 The recommendation of the insurgents and their apparent willingness to attacl linus furnish another illustration of the remarkable recuperative powers which the Filipinos have shown upon several occasions. The demoralization of the en emy after their defeat at Zapote bridge seemed complete, but they have already recovered, and the force opposing Gen. eral Wheaton comprises practically the P entire insurgent army in the Cavite prov. ince.
 The country south of linus is composed of ricehelds, sloughs and bamboo swamps making it very difficult for the Ameri. cans to operate, though it is comparative ly easy for the Filipinos to do so.
 Rear Admiral John c. Watson has ar. rived here on board the United States transport Zafro from Hongkong and has raised his flag on the United States cruis- CT Baltimore.
 The published allegations that the mails sent home by Nebra skans and oth. CT volunteers in the Philippines had been censored at Manila have brought cut an official denial by Director of Posts Vaille, at Manila. Director Waffle says:
 "It is not necessary to say that I am not risking my personal liberty by allow ing any letters to be tempered with. and it will be useless to assure the originator of this absurd story of censorship of the mails that he is mistaken, because he knows that the story was manufactured for political reasons"

The audience was somewhat dis

the work of any particular actor as
each part was well taken, but the play
itself was not up to the standard and
impressed one as having been written
under the pressure of desire to pro-
duce something in connection with
the late war. 1t did not seem to be
well connected and the audience

His Opinion Unchanped.

Two citizens of Nebraska were
caught in one of those violent funnel
shaped clouds, and, as they scooted
along in the midst of ruins of build
ings and flying trees, one of them re-
marked: ''This is the worst cyclone I
ever saw" Ignorant man." cried the
other in tones of scorn that were al
most drowned by the rush of the storm.
"can you distinguish cyclone from a
tornado? Are the teachings of science
altogether lost upon you? This is a
tornado, and, as described by Professor
Loveland and Meteorologist Gee, it
is Is! Just then a church steeple
transfixed the speaker and he persisted
In great agony, while the other man
drifted along for ten miles or SO and
was dumped softly into a sandbank.
AS he brushed the sand out Of his teeth
and ears he remarked: :. We'll, that

Aluminium.

Drop-forging is now being applied
to shaping aluminium. It is forged to
shape like iron. This improves it's
strength. Among new uses may be
cited the following: For centrifugal
machines it is found applicable on ac-
count of it's lightness. The oil-cups
on locomotive crak-pin bearings are
now made from it. The brass cups
were very apt to break off at the neck;
the light aluminium does not. sLitho-
graphic plates are made of it. The
surface is prepared by the sand-blast.
This roughens it, and it is then rolled
between smooth rollers. It is pro-
posed to make Identification tags OF the
metal for soldiers. They are to be
inscribed with the name and address of
the wearer, and in case of death in
battle, will remove painful uncertainty
even if a certainty scarcely less pain
full be substituted therefor.
