MACARTHURS RECEPTION.
! MANILA, Jan. 1.-If President McKin-
ley's New Years reception proves greater
than that of General Macarthur, it will
not be the fault of the people of Manila.
This reception was the first official social
furction at which the Americans and
Filpinos have mingled in n social way.
For three hours. n stream of vehicles
wound through the grounds of the Gov
ernor Generals residence and discharged
their callers-otrcal and civilian-most of
them natives, though there was sprink-
ling of foreigners. The American flag,
branches of Nipa flowers and vines pre-
dominated in the decorations throughout
the mansion.
Admiral Remey received the callers by
the side of General Macarthur and the
wives of several generals assisted
The introduCtions were made by Cen
cral MaCArthur's staff assisted by mem
bors of the staf of Admiral Remey. The
callers, after having been introduced,
passed out upon a broad balcony over
hanging the PasiG river and a majority
of them fingered about the mansion un-
til the ceremonies We're finished
Archbishop Chappelle, the apostolic
delegate to the Philippines, and other
church dignitarics Were received first. The
members Of the Philippine Commission
and the judges appeared in black frock
coats and their attire formed a decided
contrast to the white and gold uniforms
of the officers of the army and navy. The
Filipino women wore elaborate native
costumes and Convcrsed affaby in
Spanish.
The use of carriage numbers was not
understood by the coachmen and much
confusion occurred outside
NEW YEAR IN LONDON
NEW YORK, Jan. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The last day of a disagreeable and dis
appointing year was most depressing.
Floods We're capping their hands north
and south and west from unccasnE rains
and the birmingham canal was breaking
oose in Staffordshire and causing great
havoc The war news WAS bad and the
war office management was worse Addi-
tlonal details of the British reverse at
IIclvetla showed that an enormous fight
ing regiment, bearing the names of glor-
ious hattlehclds on its colors. had been
surprised At night when strongly en-
trenchcd and had lost one of its best
guns in surrenderinE it to the Beers. The
fact that the Beers invariably release
their prisoners does not render such in
cidents less humiliatng to Bytish pride
The hitterost dregs In the cup for Eng
lsh lips throughout the campaign have
been the evil tidiugs that their hest bat
tehons have been ontrappCd, taken of
their guard ana captured with their guns
and there was n drauEht of this kind to
leave bad taste in the mouth at the end
of the year.
There was also a general feeling OF eX-
ASPIRATION over a fresh scandal, almost
rs bad as the publication of the Spion
kop dispatches which would inevitably
