Troops at $50, but the Change
Makes Evening Social Pleasures
Possible, and Adds Much to the
Comfort OF Residents.
Many interesting events are chroni-
cled daily in and about Manila, but since
the transfer of interest to the seat of
war in South Africa comparatively little
is heard from the Philippines, where SO
many Americans are now engaged in one
vocation and another batch of Ma
Mia Tribunes, dated the last week in
January, reached st. Paul yesterday and
contain much that Is interesting to the
volunteer. as Well as the lay mind.
AS an evidence that Manila ia now
quite an orderly place, an order was Is
sued by the authorities last month giving
citizens the freedom of the streets as
late as 10 o'clock. Previously $50 had
! been the limit, and any one found on the
streets after that hour was hustled off
to the guardhou5e. While Manila IS still
under semi-military law, there is, the
Tribune states, no further cause for
alarm, and the order extending the cur
few law until 10 IS we'll received BY all
classes of citizens
The Tribune has the FOLLOWING tn saw
of the new Curfew:
The new order which may be expected
70 go IN force tonight, will insure sud
den frightening OF Manila's social life
and increase the advantages for business
and trade. In every way 1t will be a
penent to the city ard its inhabitants.
Americans, who We're in Manila imme-
diately after the citys capitulation and
up TIL about the LIST of January 1898 will
recall how lively the principal streets
used 10 be up to late hour at night The
Luneta was the scene Of much late driV-
ing od ana walking also There were some
Io,UUV spanish soldiers CHARTERED in the
walled city in those days, and, altogeth-
err, Manila by day and most Of the night
then presented a very lively and inspiring
appearance. InSUrgent officers and sol
, dlefs We're constant callers in the city
and their presence upon the streets added
an interesting feature to the cosmopOl-
itan throng.
The monotony Of life in Manila since
the curfew lays have been in force has
peeh extremely oppressive at times but
lle silver lining Is at last peeping through
the dark cloud. and with freedom of
movement up to a reasonably late hour
at night. Manila will soon become a pleas
ant and animated place to live.
This action of the authorities in abro-
eating the $50 law may safely be taken
as asa "a sure Indication THAI they regard the
lnSurrectten as practically ended
