HOPELESS STRUGGLE.
Spanish Had No Heart in the Fight
ing Mt Manila.

ing Mt Manila.
LONDON. Aug. 1.-THE Manila cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph. tel
egraphing Saturday. says
Nothing could be more humane than
the Americans capture Of the town.
Gen Merritt and Admiral Dewey's
plan was to spare every object but the
armed positions and the trenches. The
American losses We're extremely small.
The Spanish entertainments varied in
point of distance from two to four
miles from the center of Old Manila.
Defending this long line of at least ten
miles was not easy. and probably there
were not over 10000 Spanish regular
troops, volunteers and natives. The
attacking force numbered 10000 to 90
600 natives and 10000 Americans on
shore and on board the fleet Every
advantage was in favor of the attack
ers. The American field guns threw
heavier metal and had longer range
than the Spanish, the craftsmanship of
the American gunnerS was much SUI
perior TO that of the Spaniards, and the
men were stronger and in better con-
dition. The Spaniards are a small race
compared with their stalwart oppo-
nents. and worn out by 100 days siege
and disappointed by the failure to ar
rive Of the promised Spanish relief
squadron, they had lost heart. 1t was
hopeless struggle.
Looking over the bay, it was curious
to notice the foreign fleets arranged
themselves according to their sympa-
thies. The English and Japanese were
near the Americans. and the Germans
and French on the opposite side of the
bay north of the Pasig river. The
British cruiser Immortalite and her
consorts kept fairly near the Ameri-
can line. The attacking squadron
formed in line between Malate and Old
Manila with the Concord watching the
fort OF the mouth of the Pasig. The
American fleet lay outside the break
water.
The Olympia fired the first shot at
$40, and fairly continuous, but by 10
means furious cannonade was kept I'D
until II o'clock. By that time the Ma
late fort was silenced, and the Amer
lean troops then storHled the intrench-
ments. The Spaniards who were in
the earthworks tell me that the quick
firing guns of the little gunboat Rap
lido. which lay close to the shore, were
far more terrible in their effect than
vas the raking fire of the ships. |
Resistance to the American attack
WAS impossible. Inc First Colorado
regiment was the earliest to charge
the Spaniar6ss who retired to the sec
ond line, but soon outnumbered they
were forced into the old city. A part
of Malate suffered severely from the
bombarGment. The vaunted intram-
ures defences were not tried. The
Spanish commander, convinced that
further resistance was hopeless, hoist
ell a white flag at 11:30, and the order
to cease firing was immediately issuad
in the center of the town, but in the
outskirts street firing continued for
some time between the rebels and the
Sp6niards.
The only fear felt the city Is in re-
gard to the conduct of the isurgents.
AS it is, in the vicinity of the German
consulate, a brisk conflict is going on
between the Spaniards and insurgents,
and musketry bullets are flying ali
around"

Fight May Occur Anyway.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. fitzpatrick
j. Corbett, father of James J. Corbett
the pugilist, shot and killed his wife
at an early hour this morning. He
then turned the revolver upon him
self and committed suicide. The n.y.
pothesis. as accepted by the family
and by the intimate acquaintance and
friends of the household, is that Mr.
Corbett was laboring under the effects
Of temporary insanity.
The terrible tragedy occurred at the
Corbett home. $40 Hayes street, over
the livery stable occupied by the elder
Corbett. AS near as the time can be
hXed, the shots rang out at 1850 o'clock

was lying asleep in her bed
Mr.. King, son-in-law Of Corbett,
who was living in the house. heard
two shots In his father-in-law's room.
Hurrying to the room he was horri-
ned to find Mrs. Corbett lying in the
bed covered with blood, while his
father-in-law lay on the floor with
blood pouring from his mouth Mrs.
Corbett was in her night attire, while
her husband was fully dressed. Death
must have been instantaneous. There
was wound in Mrs Corbett's tenn
pie, and Corbett had killed himself by
turning the muzzle Of the revolver

Depends Upon American Generosity
In. the Philippines.

MADRID. Aug. 16.-The government does
not think the United States will try to make
capital out of the fall Of Manila, but the
papers express much anxiety ON that point.
The Spaniards pleased with the fact that
Admiral Dewey excluded the insurgents from
Manila, and they are hopeful that the action
thus indicated will weigh with the United
States in the settlement of the Philippine
problem. The government has requested the
Cuban autonomist council to remain in Of
flee and dispatch the governmental business
until settlement has been arranged.
dispatch from Havana says that the
American gunboat Mangrove fired eighty
seven shots at Caiberien on Saturday. The
land batteries and gunboats in the harbor re-
piled. The firing ceased when the command
er of the Mangrove received the news brought
by Spanish gunboat that a protocol had
been signed.

Swiss Village Houses.

Some of the village houses in Switzer. land have quaint sundials upon the front and, where they are very fine, there is not infrequently an inscription telling when the house was built and when restored, and perhaps a pious sentence in old German text, says the Christian Register. The roads through this valley constantly excited our ad- miration. They seem built for aH time and are as well kept as lady's parlor floor. These beautiful highways over the widest passes show how effectual- ly a paternal power watches over the safety and comfort of the traveller.
 Some of the prettiest villas upon these hillSides are the summer houses of wealthy Swiss cooks, restaurant keepers, confectioners and hotel pro prietors to be found in all the large towns of Europe, and who return to their native valleys for rest and recrea- ton. Though they may not be socially distinguished in the places where they have acquired their wealth they have as good a position as need be desired in their early homes. The castle of the old family has often crumbled on the hill, but the new families in the valley survive and flourish here as elsewhere
The St. Johns herald., 1898-06-04

Lake Doniphan, in Kansas, is one of the world. In the winter, when the lake is covered with ice, 1t Is possible | to build a large bonfire upon it by sim | ply making a hole through the ice and | applying a match to it. Instantly the
 flames shoot up five or six feet and burn with great brilliancy for a min ute or two. The supply for the flames is natural gas, which bubbles up through the water the year round, but it Is only when the surface Is covered with ice that the gas is prevented from escaping and is collected in large bub- bles or pockets, from ten to twenty yards square. If a puncture Is made through the ice to these pockets the gas escapes and if lighted furnishes the skater an excellent fire at which he may warm himself. In some sections of the lake ice rarely forms, except in extremely cold nights, for the gas, be- ing warmer than the water and rising in such large quantities, prevents the water from freezing. The lake itself is peculiar. It is a river lake; that is, it was formed from bend of the Mis- souri River by the stream taking a shorter cut across the neck of the bend, thus leaving lake shaped like horse shoe about five miles in length. The lake was made in 1891. The gas does not rise from all sections of the lake, but mostly in the western arm. On the other or Missouri side of the river are three small lakes formed exactly as Doniphan has been, but from these there is no gas exhaled except occa- sional small bubbles. Natural gas has been found in Kansas. A we'll some if ty-five miles south of Lake Doniphan, a few years ago, gave limited supply of gas, while at lola a gas well has fur nished several million cubic feet of gas. It is believed that Kansas will yet prove to have gas areas of no in. considerable extent and it is thought that should field be discovered it will be found in an area of which Atchison, St. Joseph and Kansas City will form the boundaries.
