months or a years time. 1t should be
mentioned that the minimum height
accepted is 154 metres, or about five

The privilege of only serving one
year is accorded in the first place to
certain classes Of young men whose
family circumstances are exceptional
Thus the eldest son or only son Of a
widow. the eldest son of a family of
orphans, the eldest son of a family of
seven or more children, and the elder
of two brothers who happen to be con-
scripts in the same year are entitled
to a dispenSation. The dispensation is
also granted to young men whose earn
ings are proved to be indispensable to
the support of their family. and to the
brothers of soldiers who have died or
been definitely invaded while on ac-
tive service. By far the largest class,
however. of single year soldiers is fur
niShed by the learned professions. The
young men who are studying to be
barriSterS, doctors, professors and en-
Cinecrs or for certain other careers
have to serve but one year. This con-
cession is conditional on their passing
their examinations; should they fail in
them they must return to the army and
complete their three years. The num-
Der Of dispensec from all causes is very
considerable, some 10000 out of the 25o.
600 or so conscripts who form the an
nual contingent.
The council Of revision takes note of
the conscript's trade, occupation or
profession. this matter and, 50 far as
his physique allows. his own wishes be-
ing taken into consideration in assign
ing him to this or that branch of the
service The laborS of the council over.

fate by the receipt of his "fcuillc De
route" or marching orders. an otiicia
intimation commanding him to join the
corps to which he has been attached
on a given day. If he is pcnnilcss, his
third class railway fare is given him
by the mayor Of his district. Should
he be able to meet this EXPENSE. the
sum is refunded him on his joining his

MANILA. July 20. 1:1o q. m.-The
two days fiesta In Manila organized by.
Senior Paterno and his political follow
ers, to commemorate the amnesty, re-
suited in n fiasco. The people wero
passive, unenthusiastic and not even
interested. s
Failing to perceive any tangible, et-
fective results Of amnesty, they say
sny can see no reasons for cabling.
Judge Taft and his colleagues Of tho
commission felt constrained to decline.
to attend the banquet, as they had been
informed that the speeches would fa-
vor independence. under American;
protection and they could not pasgive-
~ lend their acquiescence by being
present. !
Senor Paterno. foreseeing the sus-
pension Of the banquet without the
Americans. frantically appealed to
them to attend, promising that there
should be no speeches.
The provosts precautions were ex-.
treme. The guards were doubled both
days and the authorities forbade the
display OF Filipino flags and Of pictures
of President Mckinley, and Aguinnldo

The fiesta Is generally considered to
have been premature and unfortunate.
