4/ vou LXXI. ANOTHER DEWEY VICTORY. TO TIME. A Spanish Garrison Inthe Philippines Com. pelied to Surrender, —Shelled a Span ish Fort, MANILA, July 9, via HONKONG, Ju- ly 18.—The insurgents on Wednesday, July 6, reported that the German gun- boat Irene, in Subic Bay, north of Ma- nila, refused to permit them to attack the Spaniards on Grande Island. Rear Admiral Dewey promptly dispatched the United States cruisers Raleigh and Concord to investigate the matter. On entering Subic Bay the Raleigh open- ed fire on the forts, whereupon the Irene slipped her cable and steamed out by the other channel. The result of the fire of the Ameri- can war ship was that the Spaniards surrendered everything. On returning to Manila the Irene ex- plained that she interfered ‘in the cause of humanity,”’ and offered to hand over to the Americans the refu- gees she had on board. Admiral Dew- ey, however, declined to accept them. The Raleigh and Concord shelled the principal points on the island, de- stroying the earthworks and other for- tifications, and laying the torpedo sta- tion in ruins. They then sent out a launch with a message demanding sur- render. There was no response, and the Raleigh finally sent a 6-inch sheil through the commander's house. The white flag was instantly run up on the ruins of the earthwork. A landing party demanded absolute snrrender. The Spanish Colonel Rio, realizing his hopeless position, made submission, and gave up his sword. Forty thousand rounds of ammunition and one Hotchkiss gun were also cap- tured. This victory gives the Ameri- cans control of Subic Bay. While the Spanish steamer Filipi- nas was hiding in the river near Subig the crew mutinied and killed the offi- cers, They then handed the steamer over to the insurgents, who armed the vessel and dispatched it to Bubig for the purpose of making an attack on Grande Island. eat al s—— SANTIAGO MUST SUREZNDER. The Spanjards Must Capitalate or Fight — The End Soon, The American have the Spanish troops entirely hemmed in at Santiago, and the city must surrender or receive a terrible baptism of fire, The war department yesterday gave out the following from Gen. Shafter: Headquarters near Santiago, July 13. -Have had an interview of an hour and a half with Gen. Toral and have extended truce until tomorrow noon. I told him that his surrender only will be considered and that he was without hope of eacape and had no right to continue the fight. I think it made a strong impression and hope for his surrender. If be refuses I will open on him at 12 noon tomorrow with every gun I have and will have the assistance of the navy, which is ready to bombard the city with 13- inch shells. The Spanish general again refused to surrender in a terse reply, saying in effect that if the Americans wanted troops sibility and expressed himself as ready vading army saw fit to make one, final, and although no firing was or- dered, he immediately began prepara- tions for the coming struggle. The American forces are in a semi-circle entirely surrounding the city. A fierce fight is expected and the Ameri- can losses will surely be heavy. lf mit ns A Useless Expense, As regards the boro’ contract for the Bible spring, there is frequent inqui‘y since that water proves insufficient and will not be used. The contract binds the boro’ for 99 years, whether the water is used or not ; the first five years the boro’ pays $50 per year and thereafter $75 per year, strictly in ad- vance! Two payments have been made and the third is due in Septem- ber. Considerable work was done in that direction at a waste of money. Who is the blunderbuss that made such a contract with no judgment of water supply and had large ditching done and closed again for want of w ter ?

Bush, president of the Gil- mer county court, tells briefly his ex- perience with an epidemic of bloody flux in his family. He writes under the date of October 8, 1896, at Auburn, W. Va. “During the past summer we had three cases of bloody flux in our family which we cured iu less than one week with Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. In some instances there were twenty hem- orrhages un day.” This remedy never fails to cure the worst cases of bloody flux and all bowel complaints and every family should keep it at hand.

Leaving war appropriations out en- tirely, the other appropriations made at the session of Coonress just closed, exceed the (otal of any previons ses. gion, The following statement made by Represen ative Sayers, of Texas, the ranking Democralic mem- ber of the House Commiitee on Ap- propriations: “The total appropria- tions at the present session amount to $802,527, 991. This includes $117,836, 220 permanent appropriations and $361,788,005 for war expenses. Deduot- ing the war expenses from the sum to tal, we have $530,739,806, to be charged against the civil and ordinary expens- es of the government. It should be borne in mind that no River and Har- bor bill has been passed. Cousidering this fact, the appropriations for eivil and ordinary expenses of the govern- is gy iad war expenses, exceed that of any pre- vious session .”’ Congress was too anxious to adjourn after the Hawalian anoexation resolu- tion was adopted, Lo heed Senator Mor- gan when he said: “There is absolute- ly no necessity for an adjournment at this time; itis a hasty, improvident, and dangerous step,” buf. unless many are mistaken, the wisdom of those | deal words will be seen later.
