islands, who are the best fighters.
When the Raleigh and the Concord
visited Subig they found the insurgents
IN possession. It appears that a month
ago the wild mountaineers with bows
and spears, descended upon the place in
thousands. The native garrison Seced-
ed the Spanish abandoned the arsenal
without a Struggle and sought refuge on
Grande Island, which quickly surren-
dered to the Americans.
Dewey Takes 500 Prisoners.
New York, July ia special copy
right cable from Manila dated July 10,
to the New York Journal, says:
Admiral Dewey early on July z, dis
patched the Raleigh and Concord to
take Grande island in Subig bay and
capture the garrison.
The cruisers shelled the principal
points on the island, destroying the
earthworks and other fortihcations and
laying the torpedo station in ruins.
They then sent out a launch with a
message demanding surrender.
There was no response and the Ra-
leigh finally sent a six-inch shell
through the commanders house.
The white flag was instantly run up
on the ruins of the earthworks
A landing party demanded absolute
surrender.
The Spanish colonel, Rio. realizing
his hopeless position made submission
and gave up his sword.
The 500 men comprising the garrison
were made prisoners and their rifles
were taken from them
Forty thousand rounds of ammuni-
ton and one HOtchIziss was also cap
tured. This victory gives the Ameri-
cans control of Subig bay
The Spanish were endeavOrine to pro-
tect it with submarine mines and to
make it ready for occupation of the

Natives IntractabIe.

The ntives are proving intractable
About 80 thousand American are ex-
pected here shortly, which would enable
them to effectively control the whole OF
the Philippine islands.
In the meantime there are differences
between the insurgent chiefs and
Aguinaldo The latter is reported to
be aware that he cannot capture Manila
without the Americans, but a majority
of his followers are confident that he
can. In any case they consider that he
should attain a position which would
enable him to make the best terms pos
sibIe with the Americans. Accordingly
the insurgents have abandoned their
attitude of inaction and have arranged
for further revolt on the part of the
hitherto loyal natives.
The Americans are drilling persistent
1y and promise to make splendid fight
ers when the time arrives for them to
take the field against the Spaniards.
The sanitation of Cavite is dangerously
neglected.
1t is reported that Atachio and four
other Northern Philippine leaders, who
supported Aguinaldo during the last in
surrection, until they quarrelled, 1t IS
alleged, over sharing the plunder, when
the Spaniards are said to have bribed
them to leave the country, have now re-
turned from Hong Kong, desiring to
rejOin Aguinaldo, but have been i'm
prisOned and charged with treachery.
1t is believed they will be shot. If this
turns out to be the case, it is liable to

The Harrisburg Suicide.

The investigation before Coroner Nor.
man, at Harrisburg, yesterday after.
noon over the body OF George Butler
found dead in the river ON Sunday. re.
vealed peculiar suicide. Butler had
evidently tried 10 shoot himself in the
head at the bank OF the river, but being
a very nervous man, had after two shots
been able TO only get q bullet through
the rim OF the hat. He then put the re-
volver in his pocket and rushed into the
river, which was only about two feet
deep, and succeeded in getting his head
under water aud catching il under a
ROOT, where he was held and drowned. il
was desperate way OF doing it, bat i;
succeeded.
Mr.. Butler was q years OF age, and
had not been well for some time lie
was so nervous in his actions as TO at
tract attention. aud il was on account oi
this that he had been absolutely unable
to put the revolver TO his head and hit
himself.
The report OF the eoroners jury was as
follows:
We the undersigned jury empanneled
by the coroner 10 hold an inquest on the
body OF Geo II Butler, deceased, beg
leave 10 report that We find no trace oi
violence on the body and that from the
evidence allowed We concluded that he
came to his death by drowning and that
it was from his own voluntary act.

DOUBLE DROWNING.

burg Drowned IN IN the Yachsts

The news was received in Albany this
morning with general regret that c. F.
Wright and his fourteen years old son
had been drowned in the Yachats below
Waldport last Sunday. They were out
on the rocks fishing. Mrs. Wright and
daughter had been with them but getting
tired had gone back TO their camp. Mr..
Wright and son Ralph not coming a
search was made until midnight for them,
and the beach was patrolled. There
were different theories, but there seemed
no doubt that they had been drowned.
STr. Wrigh. was well-known busi-
ness man OF Harrisburg, and was recent
" coroner, retiring from the office the
first Monday in July. During his term
he conducted several investigations over
men who had been drowned, one at this
city. He was about IS wears OF age, and
had been a resident OF the county for
good many years.
