DON PEDRO EMEIIO SAULOS

General Hoke. having been a general
in the Confederate army, was much
amused at that part of the letter refer
ring Ia the United States, and saying,
must have produced much honor
and glory for that flag"
He doesn't know, said General
IIokc. "that | fought for exactly what
the Filipinos arc now fighting for"
\. letter dated December 9th. 1899,
has been received here from Mr.. Dc
tavius Coke, now at Manila in the 4th
United States Cavalry. commanded by
Major r. NJ. Hayes.
I'VE reached Manila night before
last he writes, Just in time to hear Of
General Lawton's death.
The firing line is only six miles from
the city. 50 yon see there's not much
distance between me and powder and
shot. There hav been so many killed in
the 4th cavalry that they, are in need
Of men.
Manila is a very odd city. A. portion
Of it is the most ancient looking affair
hart l have ever seen. There are quite
4 number of Spaniards here, more than
| expected. ! know the street cars
would he curioSities to YOU. They will
carry about four people.
Manila is handled by the 3Oth In
falgt1y. who act both as guard and po-
lice. Tn city is divided into districts or
precincts and in each district a company
is stationed. The officers of each conf
pany act as police justices, in addition TO
| their other military duties.
1T is very hard to obtain 4 definite
idea as to the military situation. Moth
ing is published here concerning the
movement of the American forces, as ii
is feared that any accounts published
may reach the insurgents and operate
for their advantage.
The native Filipino is the oddes1
booking thing you ever saw. He Is
small of stature ana child-like in his &C
lions and looks not unlike Il cross he

entire race i, exceedingly treacherous.
The climate here is not so bad a
one might suppose. The sun is nuit,
hot, but there is usually a breeze aiioat
Ii is similar 20 the climate of Cuba.

THE THEATER IN JAPAN.
The Best Place to Go to Study the
 Natives.

The theaters are the very places to study the Japanese. says a Tokio cor respondent of the Baltimore Sun. In many theaters the entire house is di- vided by rails into square pens four by foul feet, intended for four Japa
 nese, but often containing half dozen. Ihe men and women are barefoot, walk the narrow dividing rails to reach their reserved "seats' The patrons kneel within these square pens, or. when there are no pens, they squat upon the floor in little circular groups and smoke, eat, drink. fan themselves and chatter. Many come in and go out at random; children run to and fro. Frequently the spectators bring lunch con and pass the day within the the- ater, the play continuing uninterrupt- edly. The stage, which in some the aters revolves to change scenes, has two detached projections three feet Upon these projections the performers run, reciting and acting. Their acting is sufficiently curious. A villain slain walks off the stage, Jap mops with a dirty cloth the chief actors face while he is seeaking The prompter, dressed all in black (gown, hood and girdle), will follow the actor all around the stage. Other persons, also in black
 run to and fro across the stage. Those costumed in black are supposed to be invisible Stage carpenters and help CTS often stand upon the stage and gaze and laugh at the actars, and so on. The checking of the umbrellas af d wooden shoes of the audience and Hne general scramble for them after the performance are very amusing.

THE PENALTY FOR A HAT.
1t Cost Pennsylvania Young Lady Her
 Membership in Church.

Because Miss May Oller, daughter of the late Bishop Jacob F. Oller, persist ed in wearing pretty creation of a hat in preference to the plain b. met worn by the women of the German Baptist church, she has forfeited her membership in the Antietam Ger nan Baptist church of Waynesborough Pa. according to the Philadelphia Times. Miss Oller is highly educated young woman, graduate of Juniata college. Her brother is superintendent of the Prick company. Last spring Miss ol- wore in place of the conventional bon net a hat of the latest style. In July a meeting of the autheities of the church was held and Miss 0ller was notified that if she would retain her member ship in the church she must return to the plafner headgear, and. that she would be given until the next quarter ly meeting to make the change. Miss Oller wrote to the church authorities asking them to extend the time, mean
 
 time was not extended, however. and at, the quarterly meeting she was form ally expelled from the church. Elder Jacob Snyder presided at the meeting. which was unusually lively. Postmas- ter s. E. Dubbel and J. J. and Jesse R. Oller, brothers of the young woman, made fight against expulsion, claim ing that the annual meeting had made the wearing of the bonnet discretion ary. This petition was, however, bit terly fought by the two young German Baptist ministers, the Rev. J. B. Ratn- ruff and the Rev. John 0e1ig, who in sisted that the traditions of the church should not be broken down, and they were successful in their battle by a large majority. There is much indig- nation among Miss Oilers friends and relatives and they will take the matter to the next annual meeting.

Pistol Saber for Cavalry.

Proposals are now being entertained by the French military authorities for It is an ordinary saber provided with a small firearm lodged in the hilt.- On encountering a resistance surface the blade recedes and discharges the pis- tol, recoil of about one-tenth of an inch being all that is necessary The shot will penetrate steel breastplate. The new weapon will weigh only 3 third more than the ordinary saber.

PRIESTS OF cAsrLlAN BLOOD
Two Grand Old Men of Wonderful
 Energy and Ability.

Two Grand Old Men of Wonderful
 Energy and Ability.
 These high-class Spanish priests are wonderful men, said prominent Catholic to New Orleans Times Democrat man. never encountered two finer gentlemen and more ae- complished scholars than Archbishop Barnada, who was eonseerated here recently. ana Archbishop Zubiria, who passed through New Orleans recently Monsignor Barnada is arch bishop of Santiago de Cuba and Monsignor Zu- biria is archbishop of Durango, old Mexico. Both are over 75, yet they are actively administering offices that are fully as important from merely material standpoint and vastly more trying than the governorship of states. Their duties are complex and ardu- ous to the last degree, yet they think nothing of long journeys by land and sea, and neither of them betrayed the least signs of fatigue. Such physical vitality was amazing and their mental activity was equally remarkable. l found them not only men of wide gen. eral culture, but they were thoroughly au fait in the affairs of the day and exhibited keen and lively interest in current events. I found it almost i'm possible to realize that they had reached a period when all cares are laid aside. The two archbishops have the best Castilian blood in their veins and are certainly ma gnificent types of their race. I doubt whether the pres ent generation will produce many such grand old men,"

great power vested in the attorney geo.
