The courts have had much to do of late
with another class of the sportive element,
known as the Mauues, or Ibramitcs. a
clique said to exist through the Orient,
members of which in Manila are engaged
in the importation of women for immoral
purposes Convictions have been made in
several cases and heavy fines imposed. All
mcmhcrs of the gang found guilty thus
far have been deported.
The natives are proficient at boxing,
wrestling, ball games. cock-tighting, kite
flying hnrse-racing and in lines generally
requiring physical skill. They are expert
jockeys, and the two race-tracks, the Ma
Mia Jockey Club, in Santa Mesa, and the
Manila Country Club, Pasay Road, Ma
late. are dependent in no little degree upon
the native riders, as they certainly are
upon native ponies for steeds. Occasion
ally some of these Jacos exhibit such
speed as to be put into the class of the
large cavalry horses, of which an occa-
sional race is composed.
A caterer to public entertainment, named
Ramos Cruz, snake-charmer, met with an
unusually tragic fate yesterday morning in
Gambia street, Tondo. when performing in
the presence of a large crowd. He pos
srssed a pet python which he had reared
aud which was accustomed to obey his
every command. After coiling up like
rattlcr on the ground at the crack of his
masters fingers, tho snake would glide
forward and coil around the mans body.
This had been dCne several times to the
delight of the crowd, but, unfortunately,
following the last encore, little dog ran
into the arena and bit the tip of the SER
pents tail, Just MS he was encircling the
man. until the blood flowed. The great
rentile gave an angry hiss and tightened
his coils about the mans body, crushing
his life out, and then escaped into the
Tondo canal.

evening parties, balls, banquets. etc, have
not been entirely neglected. The Filipino
nature is elastic, not given TO harborlng
grief for long periods, and the Spanlard
in this particular is much the same. From
long experience in Manila the English and
Spanish residents are enabled to avoid
some of the inconveniences to which new
comers are subject.
AS an illustration, Mt n ball given by the
SenOres Donaldson, of Gale Malacanag,
the effects of the heat were in n measure
averted by the guests wearing Mestizo
costumes. As is customary the ball opened
at 10 o'clock in the morning DOmingO)
and sessions of dancing alternated with
banquets till the gray dawn was retiring
before the glittering rays of the new week
day sun; a special permit for the night
having been secured from the Military
Governor. The receptions, balls and ban
quets given by our naval vessels are al
ways of the recherche order, for which in
vitationS are eagerly sought.
Games Of skill, games of chance, games
requiring brain and games requiring
brawn, are all played in Manila, and the
tendency to increase the interest by bet
ting is not entirely confined to the natives.
Outside of my window in Gale Anda two
little Filipino boys are playing an ami
mated game called "Tanga" with copper
coins, with which each seems to be sup
piled. One hurls a centavo so it strikes
with the edge against the stone wall of
our hotel and it rolls back int the street
The other performs similar action; and
if from where the coin stops he can reach
the other coin, he pockets both; otherwise
he loses.
1t is about as harmless an amusement
as the American school-boy's game of
marbles, but illustrates the native ten
tency.
Players of monte (Tagaos), and Chinese
'players of fan-tan, as we'll as opium smo:l-
ers, are rounded up every few days by the
native police, assisted at times by our
guards. Not very long ago ten natives
were arrested for playing monte at the
Anda monument. and about the same time
n dozen American civilians were arrested
in the same vicinity for playing poker.
A native gambling house in Santa Cruz,
known as the Metropolitan Club, was
raided and closed by the police since our
arrival; and it is possible that undue at
tention to the National game had some
thing to do with the recent closing of the
Bohemian (American) Club. The proprl-
etor OF prominent hotel here was recent

When the prohibitory hour was in
Itead of 10, evening amusements for every
one but officers were greatly restricted
here. There was not even time to attend
q Spanish class, though the study of that
tongue is really too serious matter to
be classed with amusements. This had
the effect practically of prohibiting thea
tiers, evening lectures and concerts, though
something CT the kind occasionally hap
pened.

Lectures are announced frequently by
the Y. NJ. G.. A, with rooms near the
Bridge of Spain, and a debating club is
maintained at the Soldiers Institute, No.
6 Plaza de GOiti. Lectures are also given
there, and last Thursday evening Chaplain
Allensworth, of the 24th Inf, for a cleri-
cal gentleman, displayed a surprising
knowledge of "The Rise and FAN of the
Kiss" Among others things he said:
$40 kiss your mother is proper and the
purest kiss of all; to buy one is stupidity
to kiss a chambermaid is dangerous; to
kiss two girls is a waste; another man S
wife, nice but naughty; sweet. plump,
lovely girl, peaches and cream; and to kiss
native woman is an exhibition of physi-
cal and moral courage"
After all, the most unique and pleas
urable form of amusement. perhaps, to be
found in Manila is afforded by the Lune-
ia. True, those who are tired of living
here, who are out of health or employ
ment. or the victims of ennui, are wont to
ridicule the resort as an uninteresting
place where bats hover in the twilight
and where vacant looks and vapid conver-
sation do duty for rational thought, while
imagination does the rest. But this is an

MANILA, P. L, April 2s, 1900.

This morning about o'clock other
sleepers in the vicinity of Anda and Pala-
Ella Streets, Manila, may have been
aroused as l was by the sharply-uttered

came out and standing in front of the SEN
tinel gave his name and those of his COM
panions, with rank, etc, and the vehicle
proceeded. Such scenes occur nightly or
many times nightly in Manila; for after

encourage military athletics as wei as the
national game. Strange TO. say, no game
of football-and there have been some
very warm ones played on the Luneta
erounds-has resulted in any more serious
casualties than happens IN an ordinary
bloodless encounter with the insurgents: ,
The natives play n ball game called
"Sipa," which is highly exciting and well
worth witnessing. They are arranged III
a circle, the opposing players alternating
and manage the ball entirely with the
feet: one side retaining the play as long
as the ball is kept in the mir. They all
wear chinelas-slippers without heels
and the deXterity with which the pan Is
stopped and driven into the air again Is
quite marvellous.
Tennis courts are to be found here in
Manila, croquet is not unknown, and golf
links are being discussed as desirable
addition to the field sports. 1t is doubted
though whether golf could become an es-
tabished institution, owing to the havoc
which the rainy season is likely to make
with the links.

the charm OF the Iuneta has real basis
in the drives beside the beach over the
Malecon road fringed with tropical trees
and foliage and around the oval enciTcliDs

varying in its reflections of moon and
stars from placid sheen to milion-mirrored
ripples: in the harbor lights and glimmer-
ing rays from Corregidor and Cavite; in
tn, music, classical and comic. Stimulating
all the shades of human emotion; in the
throngs of quiet listeners seated in chairs,
and in the great variety of dress style,
speech and personality OF the promenade
ers; in the flashing carriage lights, the an
imated movements of the steeds and flow
of conversation among the occupants.
These are some of the things which,
taken in connection with the place and the
agreeable change in temperature expert
cnced by its visitors, tend to make the
Iuneta an institution by itself unique
among the city resorts of the world. Just
now it presents decadent appearance
and needs the services of n landscape gar
dener to put it in trim. Despite its cleo
trio lights, it does not present the fresh
appearance of the old Luneta under the
Spanards But this will be remedied in
