GIVES UP MANILA.
Captain General Augusti Reported to
Have Surrendered the City.

Captain Geueral heportcu ~
Have Surrendered the City.
Madrid, July 2S.-Information has
been received here TO the effect that
Captain General Augusti has surren-
dered the city of Manila to the Ameri-
can forces commanded by Admiral
Dewey and Generals Anderson and
Greene. The position at Manila has
been causing the deepest anxiety OF
late. The government believes that the
town has been bombarded by the Amer
lean warships and that ii was concur
rently attacked on the land side by H.
900 Americans and 10000 rebels. Cap
tain General Augusti has about 10000
European soldiers, sailors and marines.
He has been sorely embarrassed by the
non-combatants, but he was neverthe-
less expected TO make a prolonged re-
sistance, unless a lack of provisions and
water compelled him to consider the
sufferings of the inhabitants.
In any case it mas been understood
that he would only surrender to Ad-
miral Dewey. The Spanish garrison
was short Of ammunition, and food and
water were both very scarce, the insur-
gents having control of the pumping
works, and having surrounded the city
so as to prevent any supplies being
sent to the enemy. 1t is believed that
rather than yield to the insurgents the
captain general decided to give up the
city to the Americans. Several days
ago a message was received by the
minister of war from Augusti stating
! that an attack on the city by the Amer
| ican forces was expected at any mo-
ment and that grave events were about
| to occur. 1t is now believed that this
was intended ae a warning to the min
| istry that the city would be given W
to avoid useless bloodshed.

Washington, July 2S.-The war de-
partment has made pubic the following
dispatch received from General Smarter
in response to a query by the depart
ment as to ships being turned away
from Santiago:
Santiago. via Hayti, July 26.-Adju-
tant General United States Army, Wash
ington: Press reports not true I
only know Of three ships having ar
rived, one from Kingston, the others
from the United States. The Bratton
has sold its cargo; the others, ship
from New Orleans, has sold only a
part of 1t, and the captain tells me
he Is going away tonight I think he
will sell before he leaves. The trouble
is they did not expect to pay any duty.
and arrived here without money. The
Spanish customs as applied to Spanish
subjects has only been collected, and
the 20 cents per ton as ordered by the
secretary.
Attempt to Collect Tax.
L discovered this morning an attempt
on the part of the municipal authori-
ties to collect local tax of 40 cents per
100 kilos, in this instance amounting
to $500. l had already settled this
matter by ordering its non-collection.
The fact is there is no money here to
do business, and merchants are very
timid about making purchases, fearing
the effect of the Red Cross supplies,
who really are feeding the town. The
New Orleans man, for instance. brought
twenty-nine head of cattle, which he
sold at $S5 per head; the person buying
kills one a day, selling the meat at 20
cents per pound. OF course only few
people buy. The first week we were
here people were starving to death, and
/ think few now are dying from the
effects of starvation. / am positive,
however that the customs have been
honestly administered.
"SHAFTER, Major General"
Ordered to Pay the Soldiers.
General Skaters hint that the chief
obstacle in the way of prosperity among
the people at Santiago was the lack Oh
money to do business with has had a
ready response. Paymaster General
Stanton has orders to pay the soldiers.
He already has four paymasters at the
front and he has ordered fifteen more
to proceed at once to Santiago with
81, 900. 1t will be necessary to send
even more than this to pay all. Sec
retary Alger remarked as he checked
the order:
There. guess that VIII bring nt-
tie prosperity to the old town."
The Yosemite naval reserves were
paid $4,000 in ST. Thomas ten days age
and they left $4,000 in two days. This
shows how pay money will boom things

PEACE NEAR AT HAND.
Lively satisfaction Is Expressed Through
out All Europe.

out All Europe.
London, July 2s.-The equivocal de-
malls from Madrid recently, when in
ouiries were made on the subject of re-
ported peace negotiations were SEEM
ingly given out at the Spanish capital
prior to SPANS formal application at
Washington for peace. Many similar
communications intended for home con-
sumption may be expected during the
negotiations. but the only purpose OF
such denials is to allay Castilian sus-
capabilities and they will not affect the
real point at issue.
The liveliest satisfaction is expressed
In al quarters and ip the newspapers
throughout Europe at the TACT that
Spain has at last done the right thing
for the first time during the war and
peace Is looked upon as being within
measurable distance. u Is taken for
granted that the opening Of neEotia-
tions implies a cessation Of hostilities.
and 1t is believed here that the United
States was at first unofficially ap-
preached and gave a general idea OF
the conditions she would insist upon
before M. Cambon. the French ambas-
sador at Washington, presented his
note, and that the formal negotiations
will consist chiefly of the formulation
Of terms already practically settled.

LEGEND OF MAUNA LoA.
With the Last Eruption of This Ter
ribIe Hawaiian Volcano Il Pref
ty story is Connected.

As at present there is possibility CT
the greatest of volcanoes, Mauna Loa. in
Honolulu, coming into activity again
the legend connected with its last erup-
ton is brought strongly to mind.
No other volcano has ever equaled
Mauna Loa in the volume of lava it has
discharged in its principal eruptions,
nor is any other so dreaded, for in its
stream flow death and destruction. The
mountain, has, however, the true in
stinct of chivalry and invariably gives
warning to the hundreds of sugar and
coffee planters about ats base when its
intentions are hostile. This warning is
conveyed by the blush steam that rises
from its crater which is always fol-
lowed by flood of red-hot lava. Mau1a
Loa is giving this warning now.
At the time of its great eruption in
$500 the lava burst from the sides of the
mountain as well as from the crater and
flowed like a great river for nine
months, varying in width from three
miles to a few hundred yards. 1t ran
a distance of SO miles Finally it
reached the outskirts of the town of
Hilo, whose inhabitants were calmly
awaiting their doom.
1t was then that the young princess
of the reigning house Of Honolulu de-
termined to test the efficacy Of the we'll
known legend of the mountain. The
legend was that If young and beauti-
full princess should array herself as a
bride and surround herself with at
tendants that would form a procession
and climb the mountain with her. she
could then, by approaching the crater
and throwing in a sacred white pig,
appease the wrath of the mountain and
cause it to be quiescent.
This was, in fact. no simple task, for
besides the physical endurance. it was
necessary to dodge the boiling lava on
the mountain side. The white pig also
grew heavy and restless in the arms
Of the princess. He chafed under the
garlands of flowers with which he was
decorated. Three times on this strange
expedition the pig escaped, but was
caught again by the attendants of the
princess. After much labor she reached
the crater, and, with a supreme effort
Of strength and courage, cast the
squeaIlng pig INTO the aWIul depth be-
low. The descent was made slowly, all
chanting praise to the mountain.
Mauna Loa appreciated the sacrifice
of the princess and was generous.
Many European visitors, as well as the
natives. still tell how that evening the
flow Of lava became sluggish and ceased
to move. Hilo was saved. In 1ss8-92
the mountain was slightly active, but
with those exceptions it has been true
to the superstition Of the people
Golden Days.
