BRAVE HARRY MACNEAL.
He SignaIized Himself ut the Battle
of July 8.
From the Philadelphia Press.


Harry L. MaeNeal is a Philadelphia.
He is the marine who, at the imminent risk
OF his life. placed himself in the fire of the
enemy at the destruction of the Spanish
feet to disIodge a damned cartridge from
one Of the starboard six-pounder guns. and
who was highly praised for his bravery in
the report of his commander, which was
reiterated by Commodore Schley.
Up to the time of his enlisting in the
marine corps Mac Neal lived with his par
ents IN the house where he was born, at ~
North 41st street, this city. His father,
Charles &. MacNeaI, had this to say about
his son last evening:

years. When 1 read in the papers of his

he was only seventeen He did il without
M knowledge, and yet his proportions We're
such that the enltsting officials took it for
granted that he was over twenty-one. His
mother wanted me to take him out but L
knew that would be useless, and that he
would simply run away and enlist again.
Now I'm glad let him stay He Is very
modest. and although we have had several
letters from him since the battle not one
mentioned his brave deed, so that the first

LONDON, June 10.-The signing oil
the Anglo-Cninese convention, yester-
day, gives Great Britain an extension
of the boundaries of Hong Kong, in
Guiding Kau-Lung, of altogether two
hundred square miles under lease, to
which the greatest Importance is at
tached, as the territory thus acquired is
regarded as being essential for the pro-
lection of Hong Kong. Mr.. George N.
Curzon in the House of Commons, last
evening, stated that if Russia should
send troops to the Yang Use
Kiang valley, such a proceeding,
without the consent of China, would be

ment would take the requisite steps to
protect British interests. Obviously,
this is intended as warning to Russia
not to interfere.
