The People Make the Paper

A paper is what the people in the town
and county where 1t is published make 1t.
III it is properly supported 1t is blessing
if not, 1t is a curse. The paper is the mirror
n which the community where it is pub
lished is reflected. If the community is
awake the paper will be worthy of 1t, if
The reverse the paper will reflect it.-Ana-

Each days delay in attacking Havana
adds to the strength Of the defenses which
Blanco is erecting upon all sides of the

Apprehensions regarding the situation
at Manila are allayed by the placid tele-
gram sent over the restored line by Adj
miral Dewey. If his situation is at all
critical, or even grave, he doesn't seem to

afraid of Spanish vessels, shore batteries
or submarine engines of destruction, can
doubtless be depended upon to take care
of himself until succor reaches him from
this side.

London, June 20.--A dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Manila via Hong
Kong says General Aguinaldo has cap
tured deal of money, which he has sent
aboard the American warships for safety.
The much yaunted Philippine militia,
which 1t was serious mistake on the
part OF the Spaniards to retain, are fight
ing in the rebel ranks. General Pena, with
the who.e OF his army in the province OF
pampangu, has had TO capitu!ate to the
victorious rebels. The Spaniards are as
founded to hnd that the rebels respect
the lives and property OF their prisoners
OF all ranks.
1t is believed there are dissensions
among the rebel leaders OF so serious a
character that civil war is certain as soon
as the Spaniards and the Americans have
gone.
HI Hong Kong correspondent of the
DAILY Mail, wiring Sunday, says: con-
spicuous object in Manila bay is the nu-
cleus OF an insurgent fleet 1t consists of
vessel OF a hundred tons burden. pre-
scented to General Agulnaldo by the Ri h
natives. The vessel flies the flag of the
hilipriu, republic. The native proc anna
I on q Independence will be signed on
Monday. Manila is partly surrounded by
he insurgents. The success of the r. bel
force Is wonderful
General Agrinaldo has more than sur
passed the expectations of those who fav-
ored his return to the Philippines. He has
captured 5000 Spanish troops incud ny
quo regulars. Among the latter are eleven
officers of and above the rank of lieutenan
90 onel. including two brigadi generals,
and he has taken seventy nine officers be-
low TIL rank Of lieutenant colonel. In adj
dltion his forces have captured five prom,-
nent priests, heads of important parishes
in provinces recently overrun by the In
snrgents. These men the insurgents hate
even more than thew hate the Soaniard,
ana the rebels chuckle with JOY when they
po.nt them out as their prisoners.
They have captured. too. old Cavite
church, taking twenty-seven prisoners and
Ihev now hold Tho entire shore of the bay
right down to Malate.
