DIET AND SUICIDE.
Wrong Eating Will Make One Tired

(From the Bo.ton Globe. J

Dr. Haig is of the opinion that suicide
may be traced to error in diet, the error
being the eating of meat the drinking of
beer and of tea, and the smoking of to-
bacco. His facts all fall comfortably in
to their places in support of his hypothe-
sis. Are there not more suicides among
men than among women, and do not men
consume more meat, more beer and more
tobacco than the women? Again, suicide
is more common in England than in Scot

FALL OF MANILA.
Ambassador Hay TeieErnphs from
London That the spnninrds Have
Surrendered the CITY.

Washington, June 13.-"IIoDg-Kong
advices say that Manila has surren-
dcred." This dispatch was received at
midnight from Ambassador Hay at
London. That was the whole story, but
Il Is taken for granted at the navy de-
partment that Ambassador Hay re-
ceived his news from official sources
In London and that II Is correct. The
news was at once carried over 10 the
white house and caused intense delight.
Direct news from Admiral Dewey had
been expected, as ii was known he sent
a dispatch boat to 1Iong-Kong, and i.
was presumed that by this time Dewey
and Aguinaldo between them must
have forced the city to surrender.
If II proves to be true, the first army
expedition to the Philippines will have
nothing to do but to occupy the town
and prevent the insurgents making re-
prsals, and the result may be the sub
stitution of volunteers for some of the
regulars now under Merritt at San
Francisco. No one here doubts the
news, the briefncss of the dispatch from
Ambassador Hay being taken as an evil
dence of its reliability, and the navy de-
partment is congratulating itself in the
belief that Dewey has capped the eli
max of his great victory by hauling
down the Spanish flag and running up
the stars and stripes without waiting
for the slow-moying army, just as Samp-
son landed at Guantanamo while the
army was fleeing from ghost ships at
Tampa.
IT hps been believed al! along that
Dewey would capture Manila with the
assistance of the insurgents, and il is
hoped Sampson may do the same thing.
The last full reports from Dewey were
to the effect that Manila was at his
mercy, with supplies running short and
the insurgents completely investing the
city, and for this reason the news by
way of London is received as true. The
cable from llong-Kong runs around the
Indian peninsula and British official
advices have the right of way, so il is
natural TO suppose the British foreign
Office would first receive the glorious
news.

VIII Exceed $500, 100000.

Washington. June 13.--The farmers Of thu
United States are drawing upon other parts
OF the world for more money In the fiscal
year which ends this month than In any
preceding year In the history Of the coun-
try. Even the high-water mark OF 1892,
when our exports OF agricultural products
amounted to SIS. 32s. 232 will be surpa ssed
by the record OF the year which closes
with this month. The preliminary reports
OF May expectations which have reached
the bureau OF statistics make II quite APP
parent that the agricultural exports Of
the year will be considerably In excess Of
$s0OOO0.c0o. the total for the year being
likely TO reach $S35, 900. Never before have
the exports OF agricultural products

the preceding year the increase will be
over s2j0.OO0.Ooo while the total will be fully
80 per cent. In excess of that of the fiscal
year 1895.
In breadstuffs alone the exports of the

each business day and will be more than
SlOOOOO,OO0 In excess Of last years exports
Of breadstuffs. Nearly all articles classed

than those of any other month in the his
tory OF the country, while the total exports
OF corn for the year for the first time will
pass the 2O0,000.000 bushel line, the total in
only three preceding years having reached
lOO,OOO.OOO bushels. Cornmeal, oats and oat-
meal and rye show a striking increase, the

tinue the war in Cuba for two years

by some of the foreign newspapers in

wage war, as IL was intlmutcd To him
