Illlll FALLEN.
That is the Report That Comes From
Fans and Madrid.
BELIEVED TO BE CORRECT THIS TIME.
It is Probable That Spain Directed Gener-
al Au&u9ti to Yield to Admiral
Dewey.
London, July 29.—A Madrid
telegram to the New York Her-
ald says the government has re-
ceived a telegram announcing
the surrender of Manila to Ad-
miral Dewey.
I'aris, July 29.—A telegram
from Madrid to the European
edition of the New York Henfld
says a cable has been received at
the Spanish capital announcing
the surrender of Manila to Ad-
miral Dewey.
Washington, July 29.—The
war department would not be
surprised if Manila has surrend-
ered to Dewey, but has no such
information.
Madrid's report that Manila
has surrendered, it is bolieved
may be due to the knowledge
that Spain has authorized Gen.
Augusti to yield up the city.
AN ANSWER TcTsPAIN,
Independence of Cuba and Ces-
sion of Porto Rico.
Washington, July 29.—The
answer to the Spanish note to be
communicated by this govern-
ment is not made up for submis-
sion to the cabinet. It makes
the following general terms con-
ditions of peace:
The absolute cession of the isl-
land of Porto Rico, the relin-
quishment of Spanish sovereignty
of Cuba, the cession of several
small islands adjacent to Cuba
and Porto Rico to the United
States, leaving the disposition of
the Philippines and other islands
in that quarter subject to future
negotiations.
The present aim, it is further
authoritatively settled, is to es-
tablish and maintain a coaling
station in the Philippines, with
full and adequate land area, etc.,
in connection therewith, and to
build up there an American city,
possibly at Manila itself.
Washington, July 29.—The
cabinet discussed the president's
answer to Spain's proposal and
reached the following decision:
Absolute surrender of Porto
Rico to the United States, recog-
nition of the independence of
Cuba, cession of the Lad rone
islands to the United States as a
coaling station and the cession
to the United States of at least
a coaling station in the Philip-
pines.
The question was undecided as
to what disposition is to be made
of the Philippine islands. It can
be stated that there is practically
no difference of opinion in the
cabinet on the question of the
retention of the Philippine ial-
lands as a whole, all the mem-
bers being opposed to our ac-
quisition of these islands. There
is no decision as yet as to the ex-
tent to which the government will
go in its decision respecting the
Scrofula, a Vile
Inheritance.
Scrofula is tho moct obsttaftto of blood
troubles, and it often the result of en
inherited taint in tbe blood. 8. 8. 6.
Is the only remedy which goes deep
enough to reach Scrofula; it forces out
svery trace of the diseaee, and cures
the worst cases.

future of these islands. It is
probable that the answer of the
president will express the willing-
ness of this government to leave
the matter of the future govern-
ment of tho Philippines in the
hands of a joint commission to
be appointed by this government
and the government of Spain.
The probability is the United
States will insist upon some
guarantee of certain reforms in
the government of the Philip-
pine islands.
PONCE COMES DOWN.
Surrendered to the Dixie With-
out Resistance,
"Is that you, Col. Crockett?"
asked tho coon.
"Yes."
"Well, don't fire, I'll come
down."
This littlo anecdote might be
profitably pondered by the Porto
Kico authorities.—Boston Her-
ald.
St. Thomas, July 29.—The
port of Ponce, island of Porto
Rico, surrendered to Commander
Davis of the auxiliary gunboat
Dixie Wednesday.
There was no resistance and
the Americans were welcomed
with enthusiasm.
The capitulation of Ponoe took
place Thursday afternoon.
CANADIAN CONFERENCE.
Ottawa, Ont., July 29.—Sir
Wilfred Laurier, premier, an-
dounces that the international
conference to settle the differ-
ences existing between the Unit-
States and Canada will open
August 10.
PARK THEATER.
Tbe Fourth Concert of the Series Fri-
day Night.
There has been a "month of
concerts" since the opening of
the present season at Park
theater. A celebrated humorist
said the "American people are
superior to each other." Chang-
ing the verbiage each of the suc-
ceeding concerts has been in
certain respects superior to the
others.
Five selections by the band
were made to servo as a vehicle
on which to hang a number of
specialties on this accasion. In
the latter the preference was
given to the vocalists, two solos
and a trio being apportioned to
tho singers.
The first of those was a bur-
lesque, "Ilea Comes Ma Baby,"
by Master Harry Clark. This
young man is an artistic prodigy
for one of his years, and re-
sponded to his usual encore with
a bright little dialect skit* that
pleased his auditors and called
forth quite as much applause as
his former selection.
Solo No. 2, "Answer," was as-
signed to Mr. Joe Cohn's well
known tenor voice with a flute
obligato by Miss Leonie Trube
which seomed indispensible to a
just performance of the piece.
They were encored most hearti-
iy-
The closing vocal number was
a trio, "Ave Maria," by Mrs.
Simon, Miss Crozier and Miss
Lockett, which secured large
honors. The melody at times
was as of some distant band of
angelic worshippers. There was
a perfect hush during the sing-
ing of this, followed by prolong-
ed applause at its conclusion.
The best of the instrumental
numbers was a violin duett by
Mrs. Sherrod and Miss Ada
Becker. The latter made a spec-
ialty of the violin while at Ham-
ilton college the past year and
her playing is always a delight
to her many friends.
There was one feature of the
evening, not down on the pro-
gram, that was sadly "out of
harmony with the orchestra."
Reference is made to the out-
landish and altogether inexcusa-
ble conduct on the part of a co-
terie of boys, both large and
small, who are bright particular
stars when it comes to making an
unnecessary amount of noise at
regular but unexpected intervals.
Although there was a corner
stone laying and a barbecue at
Oiddings on the 28th of July, at-
tended by 5000 people, the Oid-
dings News of July 29th does not
contain any mention of the day's
events, but promises to write it
up for the next week's issue.
That's what we call enterprise,
with a vengeance.
Mr. and Mrs. Homer Lamkin
returned to Caldwell last night.
Mrs. M. P. Pennington return*

Elder J. B. Gnyton, pastcf!* of
the Little Zion Baptist church,
was bitten by a copperhead lata
Wednesday evening and is in ft
precarious condition in come*
quence. The reptile fastened its
fangs in the elder's shin Just
above the ankle. The wound has
been done up in clay aqd plas-
tered with cockleburs and other
local remedies applied, yet none
of these so far have counteract-
ed the poison.
The Chicken Hunter*.
The near approach of the open
season for chicken shooting is
getting action right along on
local sportsmen. Several hunt-
ing parties are en route to the
prairies of Wharton and Mata-
gorda counties and this year's
crop of chickens is going to suf-
fer accordingly. A hunting
party, consisting of Messrs. L.
F. Ammons, Amos Smith; Wjn.
Mercer, W. L. Sallis, H. R.

dings and Clay Seward left Fri-
day for Wharton. Mp. O,. A.

The Japanese squadron at Ma-

making it the strongest in the
Philippine waters, add has been
ordered to co-operate with Brit-
ish and American admirals in the
event of international complica-
tions. Hurrah for plucky little
Japan.
Gen. Alger charges that
severe and uncalled-for criticism
of the actions of the army and
navy are made by the "'stay-At*
homes," men who do not intend
to take any part in the fighting
on the field of battle.
There is no yellow fever
among the troops at Tampa, but
there is no scarcity of typhoid
and malarial fever among tie
boys at Miami.
There is no disguising the fact
that Venezuela is in strong sym-
pathy with Spain in her present
trouble.
There are said to be 150 cases
of yellow fever among the Amer«
lean troops at Santiago.
