Every night the Spaniards are subjected to an inefl'ectual fusilado, and if they are not soon relieved they will be reduced to the condition of the Spanish garrison at Iloilo just previous to the evacuation of that place. Gozaga, president of the Filipino com. mission, replied that nothing could be worse than Spanish rule, and admitted that the form of government proposed Was liberal. The civilian members of the Filipino commission have declined to coâ€"operate with the other members of that commis- sion, as the former consider Aguinaldo‘s latest demand to be preposterous, after Major-General Otis’ refusal of an armis- tice, referring to hid wish for time in order to consult the "fFilipInoCongress. After a conference-today with the 3Uni- ted States commissxoners the Filipino commissioners will lunch with Prof. Schurman, and will afterwards visit the vessels composing the American fleet. DIilitax-y 0 perntious Continue. In spite of the presence of the Filipino commissioners in Manila, the military operations continue with unabated rigor. No troops are left in the northern ,prov- inces. They were all drafted south after the outbreak of war. The villages on the west coast are almost deserted. It is added that the only Filipino troops now left are 7,000 men, under General Luna at Tarlac, and about 4,000 under General Pio del Pilar. Even these are deiuomlized and short of arms and supplies. Many of their rifles are disabled, and the Filipinos are , unable to repair them. owing to the lack 1 of mechanics and materials for so doing. 1 man told the Filipinos they had no means of gathering the people together. as the Americans control most of the ports. He also reminded them that a liberal form of government Was offered them, and pointed out that it was better than the conditions existing under Spanish rule. The Proposals in Detail. “A Governor-General to be appointed by the President, a Cabinet to be appoint- ed by the Governor-General, all the judges to be appointed by the President, the heads of departments and judges to be either Americans or Filipinos or both, and also a general advisorv council, its members to be chosen by the people by a form of suflrage to be hereafter carefully determined upon. The President earnestly desires that bloodshed cease and that the people of the Philippines, at an early date, enjoy the largest measure of self- government compatible with peace and order. ” The United States commission prepared the scheme and the President cabled his approval of the form of the document. Filipinos Propose Nothing. The Filipinos have made no definite proposition except for a cessation of hostilities until they can present the ques- tion of peace to the people. Prof. Schur~ Manila, May 2-3.â€"--The United States Philippine commission has submitted to the Filipino commissioners a draft of the form or government the President is prepared to establish.

Plymouth, May 22,â€"The Admiralty has sent several fast Government vessels from Davenport to assist the Paris, which. it is reported. will probably be a. total wreck. Among the vessels sent to the assistance of the stranded steamer is a gunbnat, and Admiral Sir Edmund Hebert Fremantle, coznmandcr-in-chlef at Plymouth, has ordered a number of tor- pedo boat destroyers to hold themselves in readiness to proceed to the scene of the wreck at a moment's notice. The Expedition Up the Rio Grands Had No Pleasure Trip. The scene of the wreck is about five miles from Falmouth. It 'is stated that those in charge of the Paris were 90 per- fectly confident that they were pursuing the proper course that the vessel was steaming 18 or 19 knots an hour when they struck. It is said that a Falmouth pilot boat showed a warning signal to the Paris, telling the captain that he would put the vessel on top of the Mohegan if he did not alter the course of the ship. The warning, however, came too late. and the Paris struck on a ridge to the westward of the Manacles. on the rocks, 200 yards from shore. Assistance was summoned by means of rockets, and the coast guards promptly telephoned to the lifeboat station for boats. All Passengers Transferred. All the passengers were transferred to the tug Dragon, but beyond the clothes they wore they took nothing with them. The)r were landed at Falmouth shortly after 7 o’clock. the local agents of the American Line meeting them and provid- ing them with every care and quartering them at the various hotels and “the Sails or’s Home.

The first intimation of the vessel’s striking the rocks was a. slight grating sound, which was followed by a. second and more pronounced shock.

The defendant Hanna. disputed $800 of the arrears alleging that when he raised the $1,000 by way of mortgage it was to pay off debts incurred in the family and the plaintiff agreed to release her annuity for ten years from the date of the mortgage to enable the defend- ant to pay off the mortgage. The plaintiff denied this and herein was the issue be- tween the parties. The defendant Grundy was merely a trustee of the lands and in no way interested in the dispute. The defendant Hanna‘s sister.

Deceased was well and favorably known, and was as- sociated with the early history of the northern portion of Victoria county. He was well-known in municipal matters, and was president and director of the North Victoria Agricultural Society for many years. He was a reformer in politics. MRS. WM. M‘DONNELL. Mrs. Wm.

His Honor expressed himself very decidedly against the application, but at the request of Mr. Steers, the matter stands adjourned until Monday in the chambt rs, to enable him to furnish authority in support of his application. Thus the matter stands at present. Some of our citizens appear much interested in the suit brOught by Mr. Holmes of the Veitch hotel, against his brother-in-law, Mr. Butler of the Mansion house, and Robert Bryans, from whom Butler bought as assignee of the Veitch estate. It seems that Mr. Bryans agreed with his tenant who preceded Holmes. that if Bryans sold the property and should require immediate possession he would pay the tenant a bonus of $200 for giving up possession, and also pay for the furniture ata valuation. Bryans sold to Butler, but did not require Holmes to give up possession, and he insists that Holmes is not entitled to anything from him. Butler says that he does not want possess~ ion, and never did, except once when Holmes told him he would leave in thirty days if he (Butler) would notify him in writing, but there was no claim of any- thing made then for giving up possession to him. Mr. Holmes is yet in possession, paying his rent to Butler, but he strongly persists in turning over possession to Butler and claims satisfaction from both, Brvans and Butler to the amount of over i 8700, and made a motion a few days ago{ before His Honor Judge Harding in chambers for immediate judgment.
