ANOTHER DEWEY VICTORY.

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.

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.

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 ?

Mr, C. B. 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-

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

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
