GERMANY TO BLAME.
But For the Arrival of Her War Vessels the
Spanish at Manila Would
Have Surrendered.

Hong Kong, June 2S.-A dispatch
boat just arrived from Manila, having
left there June %, brings the following
advices:
An American official at Cavite writes
as follows: IF great bloodshed and
destruction come to Manila, Spain
may justly blame the Germans. Man
fla would have surrendered before the
arrival of the German squadron with
out bloodsned, but now, owing to the
moral support of its presence, the city
refuses to surrender"
The Spaniards claim to have driven
the rebels back, but really the posi-.
ton Is unchanged. The arrival of the
American troops is awaited, and they
are expected any day. The Spanish
outposts have prepared to retire
promptly to the walled citadel, and will
probably make only a nominal re
%sistance. A section of the insurgents,
it is alleged, dislikes the Americans.
and desires German protection. Five
German warships are at Manila.
The Spaniards continue their nightly
fusillade, but the volunteers decline
to go to the trenches, while many of
the regulars are idling about the town.
Thousands of trees in the vicinity Of
the citadel have been cut down, but
the botanical gardens remain. All food
is held at famine prices.
General A%guinaldo, according to let
tiers brought here from Cavite by a
German steamer, occupies the mansion
of the late governor of Cavite, but he
will shortly move to linus to make
room for the American troops. The
insurgents now have 5000 prisoners.
A hundred and eighty-seyen of the
Spanish wounded have been sent to
Manila, with a flag of truce by permits
sion of Admiral Dewey. The wounded
Spanish officers, with one exception,
are at Cavite.
The Spanish brigadier MOret was
killed at San Fernandina in an at
tempt to force the rebel lines.

Both Spain and the United States, before
hostilities began, made an effort to purchase
the O'Higgins, but at that time the CHILEAN
government refused to sell the cruiser. She
is one Of the fastest cruisers of her class, and
will naturally strengthen Spain's naval force.
She is a fast vessel, heavily armored, with a
steel hull, and can make 22 knots an hour.
The sale of the vessel, if true, is a viola
ton of the neutrality laws.

Tanning as an Art.

Sukoshi Bakari, young Japanese gen.
tleman who is spending some time in this
country, has studied the habits of the
American woman and has come to the
conclusion that in one respect at least she
is behind her oriental sister. She does not
know how to fan herself properly. Mr..
Bakari says the majority of American
women rest their wrists on their bosoms
and as the fan moves back and forth the
breeze goes mostly up In the air, while the
fair ones faces catch only the outer edge
of 1t.
In Japan, he says, the women hold their
fans perpendioulsrly before their faces,
and what little breeze is lost is not worth
having. As to fans, Mr., Bskari says he
has noticed quantities on exhibition in
the stores claiming to DO Japanese, which
no Japanese woman would ever carry.
Genuine Japanese folding fans always
have perfectly plain wooden supports on
the outside. No carvings or decorations arc
aver put there, because the oriental girls
keep thor fans when not in use in their
tunics, and they like them to be perfectly
smooth 80 as not to fray the silks.-E1-

he Loafs and Guxsles While His
Wives Work to support Him.
One Of the problems of civilized man is
how to live with a wife The question
that worries the Pondo is how to get along
with only ono. Monogamy Is to him o
condition Of abject poverty, When, how.
ever, he can afford the luxury of three or
four wives, he Is fairly assured of success
In life, and with half dozen or dozen
he is rolling In wealth. The explanation
Of this paradox Is simple: Whereas OWL
LIKED man Is expected to support his wife,
tho PondO leaves to his women folk the
privilege Of supporting him. This shows
that savage Is not necessarily fool.
Mr. James OHaire, missionary of the
Catholic church In Umtata, explains tho
working of the. system in letter. "Po-
lygamy, says he, us the very LIES sup
port Of the Pondos. THE number of wives
man has settles the question as to his
previous wealth, for each wife was bought,
and for her he must have paid her father
from to 80 oxen, and now his wealth
may be estimated by the number of wives
and children, because the whole affair
may be simply described as natural human
farming Each daughter Is worth, say,
ten oxen. If she Is well built and pretty,
she may sell for 40; then, too, the sons
work In the care Of cattle, for the whole of
the kaff1r property consists in cattle. The
wives work, and so do the daughters. But
the head Of the family, the man, works no
more after marriage"
The dignity Of labor Ia 30 noble q
thing that one cannot but admire the COM
plete self abnegation Of the polygamous
Pondos In leaving IL all to the females.
And yet the absence Of work does not seem
to prey upon their spirits. "They are as
happy as the day IL long. They oil smoke
tobacco and drink beer and eat lnealiea
and beef or the flesh Of wild animals or
wild birds. They sleep great deal, and
then rise and laugh and sing and dance
and play and work little, and are with.
