Orrawa, February, 8.—General Hutton recently addressed to the president of the of theof the Dominion Rifle Association and through bim to officers of the m:]'tia in general a leng hy communication, inviting careful consideration by the counci! and soliciting its cooperation towarde securing | &@ permanent improvement in rifle ehoot- iog among different Canadian corps. General Huiton thioks that in the de- velopment of rifle shooting the D.R.A exercises & most important function and bas a great responsibility. He seeks with its cosoperation to place the rifle practice and musketry geuera'ly of the Canadian militia upon a bgher basis. The follow- ing points have been recommended to the consideration of the military authorities. 1. The reduction in size of bull’a eye used at D.A.R. matches anu an increase in range fired at. 2. The encouragement individnal firing exercises, the former be- | ing regarded as preliminary tothe latter, | which for batile purposes is all-~essential. 3. Firing at moving ob ‘jects is consider | ed asa most ersentisl pract’ce in which European arms are aow beipg inisructed,. 4 Disappearing objects. The point to be insured with troops on active | service when required toact individually is that they shal! be able to taxe aim and of mass and an obj°ct which will only present iteelf as a! target for a limited space of time. In} other wor is,a l rifle men should be traived | as sporting shots, the D. R. A., has replied expressing pleas- ure and w) lias to co-operate with the G.O.C. in the accomplishment of the above suggestions. He fully agrees with the forms outlined and 1s strongly in favor of increasing the ranges and thinks much hetter work can be done at #00, 900 and 1000 yards than than is now atiive and six bundred, Itis probable the suggestion of the msjor-general will be incorporated io the regulations goverriug the yeai’s D.R.

Sir,—According to the Summerside Pioneer of the Gil inst., the Star’s hockey jteam of that town seem to be displeased at the réferee’s decision in the recent game | played at Charlottetown between the above ‘team and the Creecents of this city. As every one knows theresultof the game was adraw. The referee reserved his des cision, and not until several days after- warde did he award the game to the Creecents, thus putting the Stars out ot therace for the intermediate chawpion- ehip and trophy. Tbe rules of hockey distinctly state that in case of a draw the teams are to play off until a goal is scored (by one side or the other. Now, sir, I presume the Stars know the rules, at all events th y were informed that the Crescents were on the ice waiting ‘to play off. But the Summerside team refused to accept the challenge cousequent- ly the game was decided against them. I carefully | would like to know where their grievance ? Astor being treated uneporte- So far as I know the Crescents ou ever® occasion. | with the exception of their last visit, have enter.ainedthem and done everything ip comes in fire inthe most rapid possible manner at | their power to make tieir visit a pleasant one. I wnat say thatif any hockey teams have reason to complain ot being treated in an unsporteman like manner | ‘think it 18 the Charletietown teame that visit Summerside. Now, Sir, the Pioneer makes another statement which is both false and misleading viz., “the Crescents of Charlottetown went to Crapaud last Wednesday advertized as ‘‘the team thet defeated the the Srars.” It 18 true they went to Crapaud but untrue that they advertized as the team that defeated the Stars. Asa matter of fact they bad nothing whatever to do with the advertising. They still baye another grievance ; they claim to have a written agreement that the Crescents would play a returo match in Summerside on a date to be decided upon by the Stars. Its a good thing to hear. ButI weuldlike toknow from what memb r a the Crescent hockey team they obtained it. Now, Sir, I won’t wantto take up avy more of your valuable space with the would-be grievance of a defeate i Heckev ieam. ButI will say in conclusion that should the Crescente win the Inter- mediate Championship, I have no doubt but the above team will invite the Star’s to Charlottetown and give tuem a chance to regain their lost laurels. Lover or Sport. Charlottetown, Feb. 11, 1899. — Short of Ammunition. Maprip, February 9.—Private advices received here represent the Filipiaos as being short of ammunition, which they are doing their utmost to obtain by offering big priees. The rebels, however, assert that General Rios, the Spanish miliary representative who is now at Manila, bere he went after hia surrender of Iloilo to the insurgents, gave them 5,000 Mauser rifles and 3,000,- 900 cartridges in exchange for prisoners. | General Kios denies this statement.

Manitia, Feb. 9,—Aguinaldo issued a proclamation on Saiurday Saying :— * [ order and ¢eomm and : First—-T hat peace aud friendly relations with the Americans be broken and that the latter be treated as enemies, Within the limits prescribed by the lawa of war, Second—That the Americans captured be held as prisoners of war. Third—That this proclamation be com-~ municated to the consuls and that congres: order and accord asuspension of the con- stitutional guarantee, resulting from the declaration of war.” Aguisaldo’s proclamation of Monday eave the ouibreak of hostilities was “Unjustly and unexpectedly provoked by che Americans,” refers to his mani- festo of January 8, publishing the alleged grievances of the Fi lipinos at the hands of ibe army of occupation and the ‘“‘constant outrages and taunts which have been causing misery tothe Manilians,” and refers to the “useless conferences,” and “Contem pt shown for the Filipino Govern- | ment,” as proving a “premeditated trans- gression of justice and liberty.” The rebel leader also refers to the former Jos-es of the Filipincs, but says “slavery is better,” and calle upon them to “sacrifice all upon the altar of honor and national integrity.” He intivts that he tried toavoid, as far as possible, au armed confie:, but claime that all his efforts ‘were useless before the womeasur: d wride of the American re« presentatives,” whom he charges with having treated him asa_ rebel, Because I defended of my country and would not be- come the intrumeat of their dastardly intentions.” Aguinaldo concludes with saying : “Be not disconraged. Our independence was watered freely by the biood of martyera will be shed in the future to etrengthen it. Remember that ¢fforts are not wasied that ends be gained.
