generally understood by the students
that Prof. Waggoner would leave the
university next year until he made the
statement himself, Monday. He stated
that the Cause OF his resignation was i'll
health. His talks have been in the ma

instructive comment and observation

Occupation of Islands.


Occupation Of Islands.
Chicago. May Io-A special from
Washington says:
1t is probable that American troops
will soon be occupying Hawaii.
PI-..dent Mckinley agrees with all
callers that the temporary occupation
of the Philippines is out of the question.
Whether we desire it or not, we will be
compelled to retain the islands for long
tine. if not permanently. More troops
than now decided on will have to be sent
to Manila in the course Of several months.
This contingency has appealed to the
administration with such force that the
adv;sability of making Hawaii base for
both army and naval operations has
been discussed. It is not known at what
time the American commander in the
Philippines might need additional men.
The distance between San Francisco and
Manila might endanger American pres
tige and many lives.
To Offset this possibility it is proposed
to send probably 10000 volunteers to
Hawaii there to be held in reserve. They
could be trained there and from that
point could be sent to Manila 20 days
earlier than they could if kept in the
United States until the call came.
The climate Of Hawaii is excellent.
No finer point could be selected for or
ganizing. drilling and equipping raw re
cruits and getting them into shape for

New York. June 11.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says: 1.-The GER
tainty that the Spanish Atlantic fleet is
imprisoned and powerless to do harm has
helped to make the tone Of the markets
more confident Every step Of progress
during the week which has looked toward
an early termination of the struggle has
been reflected in the market and in lower
rates for money. All Industries have felt
the uplifting influence. In finances the
growing anxiety to lend on even long ex-
change at low rates in place of shipments
of gold to this country begins to accumu-
late standing credit in favor Of the United
States. A stronger situation 1t would be
difficult to describe. Men have been buy

ness. though the course of events has all

countries have yet to pay In some way an
enormous balance to the United States on
merchandise transactions. and 1t will save
spectators much trouble and loss to keep
the fact in mind.
Men talk as II wheat had gone down

els wheat has already been exported, and
almost 200. 900 bushels corn. 4,134 500 BUSH

ports are entitled to pay for it.

at a considerable interval, sometimes
extending to two years, by the bene-
diction Or complete marriage. Many
modern marriage customs are relics Of

throwing Of old shoes after the newly

by capture, when the brides relations

MANILA HAS BEEN TAKEN
Spanish Government Forced to Give

AMBASSADOR hay SENDS the NEWS.
Received i'm London Through a Dis.
patch from HOng.FkonE-The In.
ton as Reliable-SDain Proposes to
Continue the Fight.

Washington, June 13.--"Hong-Kong
advices say that Manila has surren-
dered." This dispatch was received at
midnight from Ambassador Hay at
London. That was the whole story, but
it is taken for granted at the navy de-
partment that Ambassador Hay re-
ceived his news from official sources
in London and that it is correct. The
news was at once carried over to the
white house and caused intense delight.
Direct news from Admiral Dewey had
been expected, as it was known he sent
dispatch boat to Hong-Kong, and il
was presumed that by this time Dewey
and Aguinaldo between them must
have forced the city to surrender.
Will Make 1t Easy for Merritt.
If it 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-
prisals, and the result may be the SUBJ
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 cli-
max of his great victory by hauling
down the Spanish flag and running up
the stars and stripes without waiting
for the slow-moving army, just as Samp-
son landed at Guantanamo while the
army was fleeing from ghost ships at
Tampa.
Verifies Predictions from Dewey.
1t has been believed al! along that
Dewey would capture Manila with the
assistance of the insurgents, and it 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 Hong-Kong runs around the
Indian peninsula and British official
advices have the right of way, so it is
natural to suppose the British foreign
Office would first receive the glorious
news.

VIII Fight to a Finish.
Madrid. June 13.-Political circles de-

quoted as saying that Spain can con-
tinue the war IN Cuba for two years
and that it is useless to talk of peace
unless on the basis of status quo ante
bellum. The campaign inaugurated
by some of the foreign newspapers in
favor of peace between Spain and the
United States is not approved here.
