FLAG PRESENTATION.
An Impressive Event in the G. A. IL. Hall
Last Evening.

The headquarters of Watkin Waters Post
No. 146, G.. A. R., was last night the scene of
very interesting and imposing event. After
the meeting of the Post the doors were
thrown open and large delegations from the
Women's Relief Corps No. So Henry Horn
castle Camp No. 40, Sons of Veterans, and
the Ladies' Aid Society entered the room.
Tho hall was filled to its capacity. Nearly
three hundred people were in attendance
The object of the gathering was to give the
Women's Relief Corps an opportunity to
formally present the Post with a flag to be
used by the latter at the funerals of deceased
members. The flag was q handsome bunting
one 5xS feet in size and was made by Mrs.
f. j. and Mis-. W. J. Portz.
Mr.. b. G.. Hess was made master of cere-
monies and for two hours or more the gather
ing had very enjoyable time. Rev. ID. |.
Evans opened the program with prayer after
which there were remarks by Chairman Hess
and David Morgan. The flag was then pre-
sented to the Post by Mrs. John Lang Sr., a
member of the Relief Corps, and very grace
fully done. In making the acceptance in be-
half of the Post Charles T. GibsOn's remarks
were very impressive and it was with diff
Guilty at times that he controlled his emotions.
Many of the old vets were likewise affected.
During his remarks Mr.. Gibson spoke of the
scenes attending the departure of the vOlun-
teers for the war of the rebellion and of
many touching incidents during and
immediately following the great con-
hict. David Morgan also spoke eff
feCtively. After the singing MY
Country 'Tis OF Thee" by the audience

that steps be taken at an early date to relieve
the families other dependent relatives o

THE BOARD
OF HEALTH
Proceedings at a Regular Session Held
Last Night.
MANY NUISANCES DISCUSSED
President Bpalding Designates Several
Places Which he Says Require At
tention-shOts Fired at Borough
oficers and Councilmen.

A regular monthly meeting Of the Board
Of Health was held in the Council chamber
last evening with Messrs. Spalding, Schmidt
and Malone Secretary Curtin and Health
Officer Conry in attendance.
President Spading called attention to the
fact that there is no sewer trap at the Rob.
bins property on East Centre street, an Of
fensive odor prevails at the northeast corner
Of Main and Cherry streets, and there is
manure bin on the alley north of Line street
The president also said the stray dogs and
hogs are not being gathered in as they
should be.
Mr.. Schmidt said there are cases in which
COuncilmen are not observing the sanitary
laws. He also said there are as many dogs
as flies in the First ward.
Mr.. Malone stated unmuzzled dogs are es-
peCially noticeable on West Coal street. The
point of this complaint is that the High
Constable resides in that part of the town.
Health officer Conry read his report for the
month, showing that he abated eighteen cases
of nuisances.
The Neurology committee reported 46
deaths and 2 still births for the month end
ing yesterday. The secretary issued 5s burial
permits, 10 being for the interment of non
residents as follows VIM. Penn, 2 Browns
Philadelphia, COnnOrs and Ashland one each.
The Epidemic committee reported five COM
muncable diseases for the month"; cases of
membraneOus Group; scarlet fever, 2
| typhoid fever, /. One of the scarlet fever
cases terminated fatally. At the present
time the town is free from all communicable
diseases, Health Officer Conry having re-
moved the last placard on Wednesday.
President Spalding also complained of the
condition of an clubhouse at the rear Of the
Grant property on East Centre street, and
the matter was referred to the Health Officer.
President Spalding said saloon and eating
house keepers should use disinfectants on
crab and clam shells
Mr.. Malone said the cellars on East Centre
street, especially ON the north side of the
street, are in bad condition, some Of them
containing from one to four feet of water;
and the trouble is due to the bed of the
creek east of Bridge street being filled with
culm and refuse. The properties had good
drainage until the creek filled up and backed
the water. The bed of the creek should be
lowered.
The Board will re-organze next Monday
evening and elect officers for the year

give semi-ofTicial character to the ex-
preston that IL American control or
supervision of the Philippines was an
Indispensable condition laid down as
the basis for peace negotiations 1t was
practically certain the Spanish gov
ernment would not accede to this con-
dkion. but would determine rather to
continue rhe war AS to other peace
conditions understood to have been de-
cided by the cabinet, those who are
best able to Judge the disposition Of the
Spanish government feel that while
the terms are hard, yet that they do
not present any insurmountable bar
rier to the speedy restoration Of peace,
and while there Is no authority for say
ing Spain would accept these terms and
retire from Cuba and Porto Rico there
is every indication that she would yield
rather than continue a disastrous war.
1t is said also that the failure to de-
mand a money indemnity will be APP
preciated by the 81 anish authorities as
an act of noble generosity by the vic
tors, and that this Will in part recon-
oile the government to a compliance
with the other terms laid down.

London, July 3O.--A Madrid despatch says
the Spanish government, some days ago, re-
newed its orders to Captain General Augustin
to hold out to the utmost SO that the suspen-
sion of hostilities would find the Spauards
in possession of Manila.
The government will oppose the cessiOn of
Porto Rico to the United States, and it would
rather sacrifice one OF the Philippines than
give up the Island. The Cuban debt will be
another bone of contention. The compara-
tive willingness on the part of Spain to yield
to the demands of President Mckinley. has
taken a sudden change, and peaceful termi-
nation of the war is now doubtful.

The Crossed Wires.

1t is believed that serious complications
will arise between the Citizens Electric
Light Company of town and the telegraph
companies through the trouble caused on
Thursday night by wires owned by the re-
spective companies coming in contact with
each other on North Main street. 1t appears
that the extraordinary current destroyed
between 80 and 40 telegraph machines and
about 10 switch boards. Four machines and
a switch board were ruined in the local office
and six machines and a switch board at the
Tamaqua office. There is rumor anoat that
the telegraph company will seek damages,
alleging that the recent repairing of poles by
the light company led to the accident.
