Report Confirmed at W'ashlugton.
-Washington, Aug. 15.—-The depart-
ment of state late t-o-nig-ht posted the
toll wing: .
“The following dispatch was received
at the department of state at 11.15 p. m.
Aug. 15, from Consul Wildman at Hong
Kong:
“‘Augustin says Dewey bombarded
Manila Saturday. City surrendered
unconditionally. Augustin was taken
by Germans in launch to Kai-serin Au-
gusta and brought to Hong Kong. I
credit report.”
The fall of Manila occurred on Au-
gust 13, one day after the peace pro-
tocol, agreeing to preliminary terms of
peace, was signed in Washington by
Secretary Day and M. Cambon, the
French ambassador, acting for Spain.
This will in no wise affect the legalirty
of the surrender of the city to Admiral
Dewey and Gen. Merritt.
It was on July 31 that the American
troops under General Greene engaged
the Spanish outposts at Manila and
drove them in, capturing Malate. This
was considered by many the beginning
of the end of the Spanish power in
Manila~ It was known that both Dew-

Troops for Manila Held Back.
Washington, Aug. 16.-——The war de-
partment will send no more troops to
the Philippines until General Merritt
asks for them. Orders have been sent
to General Merriam, commanding the
department of California, directing him
to hold the transports Scandla and Ari-
zona at San Francisco until further
orders from W'ashington.
The troops are already on board ship,
but the vessels will not be allowed to
sail until the department shall have re-
ceived a message from General Merritt
in reply to the inquiry Whether more
forces are needed in the Philippines.
Protocol Article Relating to Philippines.
Washington, Aug. 16.—Owing to an
error in transmission, article iiiof the
full text of the peace protocol, as ca-
bled from Madrid, was not give-n with
accuracy. The text of this article is as
follows, agreeing with Secretary Day’s
statement on Friday afternoon, after
the signing of the protocol.
‘Article III. The United States will
occupy and hold the [city,‘ bay and har—
bor of Manila, pending the conclusion
of a treaty of peace Which shall deter-
mine the control, disposition and gov-
ernment of the Philippines.
Mrs. Miles Criticises Medical Department
"Washington, Aug. 16.--Mrs. Miles, the
wife of Major General Miles, is one of
the critics of the medical department
of the army. Since the beginning of
the war Mrs. Miles has taken great in-
terestin the sick and wounded sol-
diers. ._
Mrs. Miles recently made a personal
inspection of the hospital at Fort Mey-
er, Va., and Fortress 'Monrole. She
found a great lack of system at both
these places.
For instance, at Fort Meyer Mrs.
Miles discovered that the large supplies
'of delicacies sent by various patriotic
societies had never been distributed.
She immediately took measures to
have these provisions dealt out to the
Sick soldiers.

SOLDIERS FROM CUBA
They Throne the Army and Navy Bulld-
lng for Pay, Furlough and Transportation
New York, Aug. 16.—-Pr'obably at no
time since the war began has the Army
building in this city presented such a
military appearance as it has for two
or three days. The corridors are crow-
ded with returning
their papers of honorable discharge and
furlough made out and receiving checks
for pay or for transportation to their
destinatidns. _ .
Those who visited the Army build-
ing for these purposes were mostly
from the Third, Ninth and Tenth cav-
alry and the Twenty-fourth and Twen-
ty-fifth infantry regiments.
There were as many colored as white
soldiers in the crowd.
All were arrayed just as they were
when they came from the field of bat-
tle and made a striking scene. Most
of the men wore flannel shirts, worn,
rusty trousers and battered military
» hats.
Colonel Kimball and the officers of
the quartermaster’s department were
busy all day arranging the aifairs of
the returning soldiers.
“We are working hard to fix the
men,” said Colonel Kimball, “and on
Saturday furloughs of thirty days were
issued to eighty men and transporta-
tion given them back to their places of
enlistment or to their homes. They
have been provided with sleeping ac-
commodations and commutation rations
for the journey. A commutation ra-
tion is placed at $1.50 a day, in lieu of
regular army rations. The men are all
being treated well. Some of them go
as far west as California. Quite a
number go to states west of the Mis-
sissippi. Yesterday the office was
crowded. Now that the war is over,
many of the volunteers will be muster—
ed out and sent to their places of en-
listment free of charge.”
Colonel W'ilson, chief paymas-ter, and
his assistant, Major W. H. Comegys,
have been busy paying off the men.
Many of the men have drawn back
pay which has accumulated while they
were in the hospitals.
Charles Boughton, member of Troop
D, Third cavalry, has received an hon-
orable discharge after a service of 20
years. He is on his way to New Haven
and expects to enlist after the expira-
tion of his furlough. Boughton carries
a souvenir of the battle of Santiago in
the shape of a handsome silver watch,
which he picked up on the battlefield,
and which he avers belonged to some
Spanish'ofiicer.
A soldier of Pittsburg paid a tribute
to the efficiency of the members of the
Red Cross society. He said that he
became ill on the trip from Santiago to
Tampa. It was not until the received
treatment from the members of he
Red Cross society that he felt better.
He said:
“The half will never be told of what
the men endured in Cuba for lack of
proper food and attendance,” and, look-
ing over himself, added: “But I am
now, though a little
weak.”
More than a score of soldiers, many
got them members of Troop C, Sixth
icavalry, were at‘the sub-treasury re-
l
ceiving cash for their tranSportation
vouchers. There were also several
teamsters who have received their dis-’
charge papers. Later a group of caval-
rymen visxted the s:ock exchange and
were uproariously greeted by the bro-
kers on the floor. .
The Yellow Fever Not Feared.—
VVashingt’bn, Aug. 16.-—Surgeon Gen-
eral Wyman, in charge of the quaran-
tine a-nd marine hospital service, says
that he has no fear whatever of the
introduction of a yellow fever epidem-
ic into this country as a result of the
return of the soldiers from Santiago de
Cuba.
At Mont-auk Point the services of five
of the best surgeons are employed in
examining the returning soldiers. They
are D-rs. Magruder, Kinyoum, Brenner,
Hastings and Tabb. They have three
boats at their command, one of which
is a disinfecting barge properly fitted
with all modern appliances.
Lord Mayor’s Vissit Postponed.
London, Aug. 16.--The lord mayor
of London, Horatio David Davies, has
postponed his projected American tour
indefinitely on account of the illness of
his wife. . .

HER’GROUNDS FOR ACTION
His Anti-British Attitude in the, Recent
{Diplomatic Entanglement Over Chinese
Railway Concessions to Be the
Ground on Which England Is to
Proceed.
London, Aug. 16.--The foreign office,
it .is reported here, though the report as
yet lacks confirmation, intends to de-
mand that the Chinese government dis-
miss Prince Li Hung Chang from pow-
er on the ground that he is responsible
for the recent anti-British attitude of
the Tsung-li-Yemen. -
The foreign office, it is also asserted,
has had under special consideration the
question of seizing the Taku forts, on
the Gulf of Pechin. at the mouth of the
Pekin river, and the City of Tien-Tsin,
the port of Pekin, in the event of China
holding all until compliance is assured.
refusing to comply with this demand,'
the semi-official journal
'in to-day’s issue,
Meanwhile
de St. Petersburg,
deprecates the tone of the British press
and says: “Russia does not contemplate
fresh acquisitions in the Far East. Her
only object is to preserve the advan-
tages recently gained. The Russian
government does not desire to injure
the economic interests of Great Britain
any mor than those of any other pew-
er. I “ ‘
LI HUNG CHANG.
The controversy between England
and Russia is over the possession of 2.
new railroad which is being built from
New Chwang to Sh-ouhia-Kwan. At
New Chwang this line connects with
the Manchurian railroad, which in turn
connects with the Trans-Siberian rail-
road. A-t Shonhai-Kwon connection
will be made with Ti‘entsin by the rail-
road now being built.
These various connections make the
road the link in the great system which
is to unite Siberia with the rich vallev
which is the main source of China’s
wealth. The control of this road is
therefore of great commercial import-
ance, and would also carry with it a
strong strategic advantage. .
Since the beginning of the operations
looking to the building of the new road
Russia and England have been watch-
ing each other closely, but in all the
diplomatic contests thus far England
has been worsted, and M. Pavilof, the
Russian minister, has succeeded in
having his way. His peremptory de-
man-d that English capitalists should
not be permitted to control the new
road was granted by the Chinese au-
thorities, and it has been understood
from the first that Li Hung Chang has
exerted his great influence with his
government in support of the demands
of Russia.
Hay Knows Eastern Question.
Washington, Aug. 16—-Ambassad0r
Hay will be appointed Secretary of
State about September 1. There is a.
deeper signifiance in this arrangement
than the mere desire to place a compe-
tent man in the office. Mr. Hay has in.
berested himself in the two years of his
service at the Court of St. James’s
with a study of the Eastern Situation.
He is concerned in the proposed par-
tition of China by Germany, Russia and
France, and his sympathies are with
England in restricting this scheme of
spoliation.
The friendly relation of Great Britain
with Spain were encouraged and re-
sponded to by Ambassador Hay to the
fullest extent, and he is thoroughly
in mony of interests but not an alliance.
The United States has becomea factor
in Eastern politics through the victory
of Admiral Dewey, and in the State
troduce a fund of information that will
have an important effect upon our trade
and international relations. )
’ \
Greater \Var Yet. “
There is the probability th‘i‘vt the clos-
ing of the Spanish-American war will
witness the ,breaking out abroad of an—
other of mightier proportions. In that
event the services of a diplomat of Mr.
Hay’s qualifications will be absolutely
indispensable to the president.
Mr. Hay’s services will be impressed
upon the peace commissioners before
they depart on their mission. The ad—
ministration proposes to proceed with
caution, and to give the profoundest
consideration to the many points of
detail involved in our new relations to
the world.
IMMUNES AT SANTIAGO.

Col. Hood’s Men to Garrison the City.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 15.—-The tran-

Col. John Jacob Astor and another
officer had beguiled the time pleasant-
ly enough, but as they neared Chatta-

was left alone. The day was warm
and he nodded a little, but be straight-

“Mannin’, Silll. I'hOpes I sees yo'

STYLES lN TEETH.
Nations That See No Beauty in a Row of
Pearls.
It is curious to what an extent the
mutilation'of teeth goes on among sav-
age nations, and even among certain
civilized people, such as the Japanese
With them a girl is never married
«without first stain-ing her teeth black
with a repulsive kind of varnish. and
the custom is especially adhered to
among the richer classes.
On the west coast of Africa a ‘large
portion of the teeth are deliberately
broken when children reach a certain
age. Both in the new world and in
the old the custom exists of extract-
ing the two front teeth of domestic
servants. In Peru the custom has ex-
isted from time immemorial, and used
to be a sign of slavery in the days of
the Incas. This is also the custom on
the Kongo, and among the Hottentots.
Teeth are stained in various colors
among the Malays.
A bright red and a bright blue are
not uncommon, and a bright green is
produced with the aid of arsenic and
lemon juice. Livingstone related that
among the Kaflirs a child with a prom-
inent upper jaw was looked upon as
a monster and immediately killed. On
the Upper Nile the negroes have all
their best teeth extracted in order to
destroy their value in the slave mar-
ket, and to make it not worth while
for the slave traders to carry them 01f.

Little Man Were Handy in 1861.
"We fellows were enlisted down on
the Penobscot,” said Mr. D. B. Cres-
sey of Lewiston, “and there were 25
of us boys who were too small to do
the work, so the enlisting officer said.
' “We went down to Augusta and
were thrown out, while a lot of heavy
wood choppers and farmers were put
in our places.
I Governor Robie, who was paymaster
then, got us back. And, do you know,
we made better soldiers than all those
heavy fellows, because we could get
there. When night came we were al-
ways the flrst in camp, while the fel-
lows who had the meat to lug around
were ‘coming in all night long. Well
we were down in Louisiana one time
and a raid into the enemy’s country
was proposed. It was to be made with
cavalry and they went through the
regiments picking out the smallest men
to make the raid. There were 1,800
of us and not a man weighed over 130
pounds. It was a queer looking :rowd
but it got there, for the men did not
tire the horses out and at night they
were as fresh as could be expected.
I think the light men make the best
soldiers in the long run, for many
branches of army life.”-—-Lewiston,

Happy Korean Lovers.
The determination of the King of
Korea to marry again has caused
great rejoicing, as it is not considered
polite for anybody of social standing
in the kingdom to marry while the
king is single. Consequently, the fidel-
ity of that monarch to the memory of
his murdered consort has been making
many hearts ache, and the interruption
of love’s young dream has threatened
serious political results, for even the
astute and autocratic politicians of
the Orient find they have to reckon
with the primitive complications of
human nature, and that these are
times when even a king of sacred dy-
nasty can assume too much responsi-
bility in directing other people’s ac-
tions—Baltimore American.
“I want a gentle horse for my wife
to drive,” said the prospective purchas-
er. “Can you recommend this one?”
“Yes, indeed!” replied the owner;
"there is not a safer horse for a lady
to be found anywhere, and there is but
one thing he's afraid of.”
“And What is that?" asked the other.
"He is awfully afraid that some one
will say ‘whoa.’ to him and "he won’t
hear it," replied the conscientious
owner.—Chicago News.
