bOMBARDMEN1 Of MANNING
IT LASTED FOR THREE HOURS.
In That Time Over 400 of the Inhabi-
tants Were Either Killed or
Guns-Then Retreated-The Attack
Was for Revenge.

Victoria, B. c.. June 17.-Advices
received by the steamer Athenian,
which has arrived from Hong Kong,
give details of the bombardment of
Manning by the rebel hordes. The
correspondent the Hong Kong Tel
egraph thus describes it:
About 9 in the morning the inhab-
itants Of Manning were surprised that
the city gates were besieged by very
large crowd, who demanded admit
lance. The project sent an instant
refusal and gave immediate instruc-
tions that all the gates of the city were
to be closed. This was Immediately
done and the crowd, which had pre-
viously assembled at the main en-
trance to the city, angrily retraced its
steps and made for the direction of
the rebel camps, about three miles
distant. A few days later another
band made it's appearance and under
a flag of truce demanded to see the
project to arrange affairs regarding
the procuring Of provisions. Instead of
reporting the matter to the project
the military officer in charge of the
troops at once gave orders for his
men to shoot the rebels. This was
accordingly done, and needless to say
very few escaped being either wound.
ed or killed. The remainder at once
fastened back to their camps, and the
very same night the city was bonn.
barded.
The rebels had no less than 20 odd
pieces Of ordnance raining round shot
shells and other combustible matter
into the city. A breach was made
in one of the walls and a trader, who
witnessed the Dombardment and
knowing that that particular portion
Of the wall would not stand the in
cessant pounding, posted about forty
men with burning oil on the terraces
Of the walls and when the rebels at
tempted to rush the place they were
met with discharge of burning oil
The brigands displayed the utmost
bravery; some, in fact, approached to
within 20 yards of the city walls.
During the bombardment another
peril presented itself to tn eauthori
ties. The rebels rained a thick shower
Of flaming arrows, tipped with the
most inf1ammable material, into the
city, and these, combined with stink
potts." soon caused a few fires. The
however, were put out
but not until damage to the extent OF
over $4,000 had been done.
The bombardment lasted over three
hours and in that time over 300 to 40C
Of the inhabitants were either killed
or wounded.
The rebels actually used field and
machine guns, throwing not only round
shot, but shells with bursting charges
After the siege the rebels, without as
pertaining what damage they had done
retreated to their mountain Businesses
carrying with them the bodies of their
slain and wounded, thus making il
impossible to judge what loss they
had sustained. 1t is very evident that
the motive for the attack was revenge

Rome, June l8-The complete success
of the negotiations between Governor Taft
of the Philippines and the vatican on the
subject of the Friar lands in those islands,
appears assured, four out OF the five car
dinals composing the subcommittee Of
cardinals favoring the governors proposals.
Cardinal Steinhuber, Jesuit, opposes
them.
After the completion of the negotiations
an acute conflict is expected between the
vatican officials and the Filipino religious
orders regarding the disposition of the
money which the United states will pay
for the lands. The vatican considers that
the money ought to be given to the propa.
ganda, or society of cardinals having the
care and oversight of foreign missions.

CHEAP LOGIC,

We referred yesterday to what seemed to us the uselessness and also the inap- propriateness of quoting the seventies of the civil war in this country as de- fence of cruelties in the Philippine Is- lands While we were writing this Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio was engaged in that kind of business in the national House of Representatives. Mr. Grosvenor is a blatant politician, who is ordinarily not worth much at tention. It may be well in this in- stance, however, to analyZe his citation of the example of Stonewall Jackson, whom he quoted as declaring that no quarter should be given the invader who had come upon the soil of Virginia during the civil war. If this justifies any one, it seems to us to stand out for the side of the Philippine people. Un- less it is cited to show that resistance to invasion warrants the invaded party ill declaring no quarter against the in vader, we see no pertinency in bringing 1t forward. And If the endeavor to keep possession of their own national soil by Americans north of Virginia justifies a war of extermination by Virginians against them, what shall be said of the Filipinos who are invaded by foreign power several thousands of miles away? Of course, we hold the whole claim to be absurd; but here is the car rying out of the Grosvenor logic.-Bos- ton Herald.
