Manila Is quite an enterprising CITY
and in many ways metropolitan. You
DO not eesthe real Filiplnos in the city.
He is in the rural district. where You
encounter poverty and suffering. But
here the people alt lvesin bamboo huts,

palm leaves. They have no stoves for
cooking but kndie small fire on the
floor. swing a pot over 1t and cook their
rice, fish, etc, III that way. They have
no tables or chairs, but squat around
on the floor like so many Indians. They
live from hand to mouth and don't seem
to try TO get anything ahead. l doubt
very much If there is one hut in TWEEN
" that has enough provisions TO last
twenty-four hours. No gardens full of
vegetables nor fields full of grain eN-

a knife. grasp a tuft of grass, cut IL off
and throw il in pile When they get
Il load, or what they can carry, off they

class of people here which s> anxious

 Enter Into T.,

Washington, April 29.-Admiral Dew ey was seen to-day at his home just before leaving the city for Chicago and was asked If he had any statement to make regarding the presidency. "No," said he. "I think it would be in bad taste for me to say anything of po- litical nature just at this time. As the admiral of the navy I accepted the invitations to visit Chicago, Jackson vile, St. Louis, Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville which cities had asked me to be their guest and I do not wish anything political to enter into the trip.'
 Admiral Dewey, accompanied by Mrs. Dewey, and his private secretary, Lieu tenant Caldwell, left this city at noon on special train over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad en route to Chicago to participate in the celebra tion in the second anniversary of the battle of Manila bay. Their train was one of the finest that ever left capital city, and Is scheduled to reach Chicago at ii o'clock tomorrow morning. In con- sisted of three handsome cars fitted with every luxury and to insure the greatest possible comfort for the trav- elers. Upon the central windows on ed the admirars flag, and the hotel car was profusely decorated with cut flow CTS and potted plants.

PURITAN 1oWED INTO PoH1.
Fall River Liner Breaks Her shoft in
 the Sound.

d
 New London, Conn, April 99.-Owing to broken shaft the steamer Puritan of the Fall River line, of the marine division of the Consolidated Railroad company, bound for New York, was lowed into this port this morning. The accident occurred between Huntington and Stratford light. The shaft IS twenty-three inches in diameter, and it will necessitate laying off the steamer until a new shaft can be forged. There were 500 first class passengers and 150 emigrants aboard, but there was no ex- citement when the steamer became disabled, as few, if any of the passen- gers knew of the accident.
 When the Puritan broke her shaft she whistled for assistance and the steam CT Rhode Island, which was only a short distance away immediately pull ed up alongside and soon afterwards the steamer Massachusetts came along, and both boats lowed her to this port In the meantime the steamers Nashua, City of Brockton and City of New Bedford came along, but their services were not needed. At the mouth of the harbor the steamer Massachusetts left the Puritan and proceeded to Stoning- ton. Two tugs assisted in unloading the passengers, who where taken in special trains to Boston The steamer reached here about 7:30 this morning, and at o'clock left here for Newport in tow of steamers City of Brockton and Nashua.

REVISION OF FOOTBALL RULES.
Final Changes Made at Committees
 Meeting in philadelphia.

Philadelphia, April 29.-The intercol- l legiate rules committee on football, composed of Robert D. Wrenn of liar 1 yard, Walter Camp of Yale, Alexander | Moffatt of Princeton, Paul Dashiel of Annapolis, J. M. Dennis of Cornell and
 John c. Bell of Pennsylvania, met in this city yesterday and completed the work of revising the rules which will
 govern gridiron contests during the coming year. The changes made are
 final, and there will be no other meeting
 of the committee this year.
 Contrary to expectations no change
 was made in the scoring rules. To do away with sde-line coaching it was de-
 cided to limit the number of persons given side-line privileges to five for each contesting team. All other attaches of the respective teams must be seated along the enclosure and inside the rope lines. As a further preventive of side line coaching it was decided to penalize the team so offending by the loss of ten yards, the down remaining the same as it was at the time the foul was commit ted. If the team guilty of side-line coaching is playing on the defense, then the other side will be given ten yards and a first down.
 Another rule that was changed was the one which has heretofore permitted a team to retain possession of the ball and have first down by losing twenty yards Under the new rule d team will be permitted to lose twenty yards and retain the ball but once during the game. Another rule changed was in reference to the committing of foul by team behind it's own goal line. Heretofore when such foul has been made, like a forward pass, for instance, the ball has gone to the other side for a touchdown. Hereafter 1t will count as a safety.
 Regarding the penalty for off-side play, it was decided that instead of making the team so offending lose the ball it shall go back ten years and still retain possession of the ball and the down be also the same as when the foul was committed. It was also decided that the linesman must take his stand on the side line and regulate the posi- tions of the flags marking the gains and losses. A few minor changes were made in the word of certain rules simply to make them clearer.

Trouble ut n Christ-ninr,

A christening which took place last night at the house of Marcell Salesky, IS Grand avenue, wound up this morn- ing in row which may prove costly to one of the participants Among those who attended the christening was Bromick Boresly and wife of Hamden. To properly celebrate the noteworthy event in the Salesky fam fly many quarts of booze were provid- ed for the guests, and all partook free- ly of the liquid refreshment. By mid. night all had fabricated to the limit ex- cept Boresky and his wife. They stayed on and finally about 1 o'clock this morning Boresky decided that they. would camp for the night in the bali wick of the Saleskys, instead of going back to Hamden. Boresky accordingly began to disrobe preparatory to slum- bering upon the floor or other conven- tent place. Salesky objected and pro- ceeded to his guest. Boresky was fired out into the street and there a battle ragged until was was stopped by Patrol man Dippold and Patrolman Mack Both the combatants were taken to the Grand avenue station house and lock- ed up. At the station house Boresky complained that Salesky had bitten him and an examination showed that a large piece had evidently been bitten out of his left thigh. Both men were held on drunk and breach of the peace charges, but it is probable that a more serious charge will be placed against Boresky this morning.

STRENGTH OF THE BOERS.
Intercsting Details from an Official i'm
 the COmm issnriat.

the Com missnrint.
 London, April 30.-The Bloemfontein correspondent of the Morning Post tel egraphing Friday says:
 From a Boer official in the commits sariat I have obtained some interesting details. The Boers had in December 60,000 men. In March they had barely 26500, having lost 5000 in killed or wounded and $500 in captured. The others are not accounted for, but have probably returned to their farms. The official who gave me the information predicts that the approach of winter will produce further wholesale shrink age.
 He says that the Boers are short of wagons, wheat and smokeless powder, but that they have plenty of other stores and of rife ammunition. They are not likely, however, to offer serious resistance, as they possess no positions capable of being turned by the British army. Moreover the Vaal river offers no protection becouse it is ford- able every dozen miles or so The of ficial thinks a determined advance by the British would lead the Boers to destroy Johannesburg mines The cleverest general he says is Delarey, although Botha is a man of great abil- ity. None of the Boer commanders in his opinion, can be compared with the late General Joubert."

 The Second ward caucus, which is to be held tonight at the city supply house on Oak street promises to be very lively Saturday night meeting of the ts-Warner men of the ward was held and a circular was drawn up and sent out. The circular calls upon those to whom a copy was sent to vote tonight for delegation favorable to MT. Betts and MT. Warner. Last night several gentlemen whose names were signed to the circular stated that they had not authorized the signing of their names to it. They said that while they are personally friendly to Bretts, they were in favor of MT. Fyler remaining at the head of the state central committee and that they favored the candidacy of Mr. Mclean for the nomination for gover- nor. The gentlemen referred to said last flight that Fyler-McLean delega- tion would undoubtedly be chosen at the caucus tonight and that the send ing out of the circular Saturday night simply showed the straits to which the Warner supporters in the ward were reduced in their attempt to carry the ward caucus

FOR THE UNITED WORKERS.
Forms of the VIII of the Late Henry s.
 Cook of Norwich.

Norwich, April 29-It has been learn ed that by the terms of the will of the late Henry s. Cook his entire estate, which is thought to be considerable, goes to the United Workers on the death of his wife and daughter, who have a life use of the property. The organization that comes into the be- quest is a non-sectarian charitable soci- ety and is incorporated. It is the lead ing charitable organization of Norwich. MT. Cook was retired merchant tailor and had almost a national reputation from the fact that his beard was so long that it would trail on the ground. To avoid publicity, however, he carried it in an inside vest pocket in such a manner that the casual stranger was never attracted by it.
