Etc. < Manila, Dec. 1.?The steatoer Sal.J vatdor from Zemboanga, island of Mindanao, which has arrived here, brings details of the occupation of the town by Commander Very of the ^ United States gunboat Castine. The revolutionists in Mindanao were led by Alvarez aDd Calixto, who left . Luzon some time ago and for -the last seven months had been stirring up the people, winning a considerable following. The commercial depression and the lack of food resulting from the island's blockade set the people against the revolutionists and culminated in the assassination on Nov. 15 of Calixto, a firebrand and the real leader of the revolution, ; by Midel, mayor of the town of Tet-1 ^ nan. Midel, under a pretext, secured Calixto's presence in Tetuan, and , where the mayor's guards were stationed, the latter fired a volley, kill- ^ icg Calixto instantly. Midel at once repaired to the Cas- * tine and arranged with Commander Very for the occupation of Zamboanga. Commander Very asked that Datto Mandi, with 500 of his followers, stationed on a neighboring island, come to Zimboanga. ^ The following morning Midel raised the American flag over Item boaDga, the insurgents offering no rj resistance and evacuating the town. The Castine was saluted with 21 guns and Commander Very landed a j. hundred blue jackets and took pos'session of the town and fortifications. ? r Datto Mandi's men arrived in the t afternoon. They were armed with * wooden shields and swords and were used on picket duty. Commander Very dispatched the gunboat Manila Nov. 15 to Jolo, to convey troops to reinforce him. A company of the Twenty-third regiment under Capt. Nicholas arrived Nov. 17 and two more companies ^ followed them shortly. Mandi's fol- c lowers the^ returned home. 1 Commander Very tbefa affected an a apparent reconciliation conciliating 1 Alvarez and Midel and their follow- a ere, Alvarez signing a formal resign a- * tion of the position of revolutionary v leader Nov. 22 at a point on the coast near the rebel town of Meree f des. Alvarez delivered 13 Norden- ( feldts and Maxims, with ammunition, ( which were stored on board the i Castine. Eight Nordenfeldts and 1 Maxima were delivered to the army < in Zamboaogp, as were also 200 rifles i with ammunition. The artillery I came into possession of the revolu- j tionists from six Spanish boats bought by the army from Spain which the revolutionists looted before , the Americans could get possession , of them. I Alvarez had only a dozen followers , left, the remainder of the revolutionists having scattered and returned to their occupations. No fightiug is expected. Commander Very having started | to occupy Camboanga is considered to have handled the situation in its many phases with energy and diplo a: 1.M1 IBailU HK1U. Alvarez sought to arrange for a surrender of the arms and artillery pieces. Ou tno afternoon of Nov. 20, Slide! called a meeting of the local chiefs, who formally deposed Alvarez as leader of the revolutionists in the i.-land and elected Slidel pres-i lent of the new insular government established under American sovereignty and control. The chiefs then requested Commander Very to grant exemption from taxes until the renf commercial relation.0, v. permission to carry arms in the mountains, religious freedom and the power to conduct local government as they had previously done, which requests, ponding the arrival of B:ig.

Not Wasted on Per. ? i This happened to the wife of a well known merchant who is rather conspicious for his devotion to the church. His spouse, dressing one Sunday morniDg, got into a waist J that more than put Joseph's coat in the shade. She was conscious of the < color scheme; but decided to ask her < husband's and her father's opinions before * wearing the garments to church. They agreed, poor men, that 6he was delightfully dressed and that the waist could hardly be improved upon. So they went to church, the wife with secret misgivings, which as the case turned out, were well enough founded, for they were sooner seated in Grace Episcopal church than the Rev. Dr. Worthington gave out the text. "We will read," the reverend rector said, from the gospel of St. Matthew, the XVI chapter and the 8th verse; "To what purpose is this wastt?1" The ffood woman collapsed in her O pew and never raised her head daring the remaining portion of the service.

Oa one of the recent warm days, a sour visage, middled aged, fussy wnman cnt on one of the smoking seats on the open car on the subway, says the Boston Transcript. Xext to her sat a man who was smokiDg a cigar. More than that the woman snifling, made out that the man had been eating onions. Still more than that, she had the strongest kind of suspicion that he had been drinkiDg beer. The woman fussed and wiig - ?- - ?i i?1.^,3 gled and grew angrier, uuu iumcu qW the man scornfully. Presently she could endure it no loDger. She looked equarely at him and said: "If you were my husband, sir, I'd give you a dose of poison?" The man looked at her. "If I was your husband," he said. "I'd take it!" Ledgers, journals, records, counter books, memorandum books, school books, pads, pencils, ink of all colors, mucilage, &c., for sale at the Bazaar. ADVERTISING RATES.

Kinard, D. D., pastor of Ebenezer Lutheran Church. During the ceremony Prof. Smithdeals hushed accompaniment to a soft, subdued love song, rendered by Mrs. Smith of Bamberg, made the occasion doubly impressive. Under a floral umbrella, typifying a shield from harmful elements, the solmen vows were taken. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Bertha, and Miss Ola Wilson of Newberry, two lovely and lovable young girls. The groom was attended by Dr. L. 0.

C. j Special to the Columbia State. Branchville, Dec. 1.?Two robbers, supposed to have boarded the 6 o'clock train at Branchville this evening, entered the express car four miles below here. While one covered the express messenger with a revolver the ether secured the money, which, it. is said, amounted to about $1,700. After securing the money they pulled the bell cord, signaling the engineer to stop, and made good their escape before the train came to a standstill. The Sheriff of Djrcbester county was immediately noticed, and is in pursuit of the robbers. This is a very unusual occurrence for this part of the country, and every effort will be made to capture the robbers. J. M.
