escort, accompanied by General Toral
rode through the city, taking formal
possession. The city had been sacked

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, July IL, 1893.
Store closes Saturday afternoons
during the summer.
We are asked to say why this
store is, in many respects, the best
of its kind in the world. To answer
this inquiry rnodestly is not easy.
Queer how people ask things, isn't
it, But to try
First-The store is growth. 1t
is not a speculation or jump-at-it,
or an imitation of anybody else's
store. 1t embodies features not in
any other store.
Second-There are principles,
settled for every day in the year,
governing the entire business.
Right treatments exacted from the
employees to each other, and es-
pecially from those who are over
them. Nothing is done to lower
the manhood or debaSe the prin-
ciples of honorable bread-winning
workers. True performance of
duty, in spirita and letter, is required
toward the humblest and highest
who do business with the house.
Third-Smartness, that INDUCES
in trickery or falsehood, is regarded
as seriously as stealing. No pre-
miums here for overreaching OF Gus
toners, or taking advantage of their
ignorance or inexperience.
Fourth-We invite the custom
ers' confidence and endeavor to
prove ourselves worthy of it by
showing that it is never misplaced.
We confess ourselves to be human,
and with all safeguards sometimes
make mistakes. So do our Gus
tomers-at least they say so.
Fifth-The difference between
new Cunard steamship and the old
American liners is not more marked
than this store in its management
and large portions of its goods. In
what particular do you say : Well,
it is SO. Sir Joshua Reynolds could
not tell the difference in his paint
ings and others. He said he did
not know. He simply painted a
Sir Joshua ReynoIds-and his pic
lures today are all there and are
priceless.
Sixth-lt is true that this store
usually shows at retail twice the
quantity of any other retail store
in many stocks four times the as
sortment. This is of great advant-
age to lockers as well as buyers.
To sit down at a meagre counter
and think that there is nothing else,
is a loss to the buyer.
Seventh-We have keen inter-
est in every piece of goods we
show. 1t is not out of the unsold
wholesale stock-it is not heavily
charged by consignment, but our
goods are all owned by the firm,
who bought them for quick pay
ment of cash.
ElghtF-We nave no aWIul mess
es of left over things raked in from
sheriff sales and unfortunate bank
ruptS. Do our best, such odds and
ends accumulate fast enough with
out going outand offering premiums
for them to make cateh-penny adj
vertising. The stocks here are
fresh, and by large sales are kept
moving. There are no stagnant
pools Of merchandise for the I'M
wary.
Ninth-No inducement sufflces
here to sell unworthy goods. IL
poor people are toopoor to buy sub
stantial goods they will find out
some day that the poor thing was
very dear, and we do not want
them to say that they got a bad
bargain at Wanamaker's. No mat
ter how low our prices we keep up
the standard of reliability.
John Wanamaker.

AUGUST UNDISMAYED.

Bpafn's Philippines Commander De-
clarcs the Spaniards ''Encouraged.'
Madrid. July 21.-Senor Sagasta and
General Correa, minister of war, de-
clare that the latest news from the
Philippines is of the most favorable
character. General Correa's advices in
dictate that the insurgents are now dis
playing only lukewarm hostility to-
wards the Spanish troops"
Captain General August sends an
official dispatch asserting, under date
of July Il, that while the blockade is
becoming very strict, the enemy has
lost heavily in several recent engage
ments, by which the morale of the
American forces has been weakened
and the Spaniaros have been greatly
encouraged"
The dispatch alleges also that 1.-The
garrison is ready to fight to the DEATH"
and that General Monet and several
officers who had escaped from Mata-
bebe, have arrived there.
Captain General Augustin concludes
as follows:
"Modestly and without exaggeration.
which is contrary to my character, I
have described with loyal candor the
situation, to which 1 am consecrating
all my efforts for my country and my
king"
A semi-oificia1 note has been pub
lished here. explaining the circum-
stances, from a Spanish standpoint. of
the surrender of Santiago de Cuba. 1t
declares that the letter which General
Toral lis alleged to have written to
General Shafter." is apocryphal, as the
telegraph version contains state
ment which it was impossible for Gen
eral Torai to have made, because it is
untrue that his government authorized
him to capfulate. Toral was authorized
to use his own judgment
The military code prescribes life i'm
prisonment for any officer who includes
in the eapitulation of his own forces
other posts which, though dependent
upon his command, are not troops or
places included in the action which
caused the capitulation. 1t is doubted,
however, whether General Toral will be
thus punished.

Dewey Halted the irene.

London, July 1e.-The Hong Kong
correspondent Of The Daily Mail says:
United States Consul WiIdman in
forms me that as the German cruiser
Irene was passing Marivels, off Manila
the other day, the United States gun
boat Hugh McCulloch was sent after
her to ask her to stop. AS the Irene re-
fused to obey a shell was sent across
her bow, and a small boat went to dis
cover what she was doing. The Ger
man admiral protested and insisted
that German ships had a right to enter
the harbor without being searched, a
claim which Admiral Dewey declined
to recognize"

1t is reported that the Cuban loyalists
and volunteers, realizing that the island is
lost to Spain, are preparing to proclaim its
independence and organize republican
government, for which they will ask
recognition by the United States as repre-
senting large majority of the population.
If such movements made its inspiration
will probably be derived from Madrid,
with the object of embarrassing our Gov
eminent and preventing the triumph of the
insurgents under Gomez and Garcia, and
the scheme may receive the support of
powerful interests in this country. The
Cuban question will not be settled when
Spain surrenders her sovereignty.

The only historical parallel to the trans
portation of General Toral's army from
Santiago to Spain occurred during the
Napoleonic wars On August 2Olb, 1903, a
French army of % 600 men, commanded
by Marshal Junot, having surrendered to
the British forces in Portugal under Sir
Hugh Dalrymple, was embarked in Eng
lish ships, according to the treaty of Gin
ira, and landed at Brest The distance
was comparatively small, but the sail Dg
vessels then used may have taken as much
time as now required by steamers to cross
the Atlantic ocean.

"A assumptions Correspondent Who
Assaulted General Shafter.
New York. July IA dispatch to The
Herald says: Sylvester Scovel, the cor
respondent for the New York World,
who at the formal capitulation of San
tiago slapped General Shafter in the
face, has probably got into deeper
water than he was ever In before. Out
side Of the unparalleled effrontery of so
fragrant an act, 1t would seem that it
apparently stands alone. From the ac-
counts of the occurrence that have
reached this city, it would seem, how
ever, that the articles of war cover the
case completely. and that Scovel may
be even sentenced to death, should a
court martial so decide.
AS to the incident itself, it is said
that when the time came to raise the
flag Scovel attempted to make his way
to the roof of the palace, with the in
tention of participating in some way in
the ceremony. He was ordered down by
the guard. Immediately after the cere-
mony Scovel pushed his way to Gem
eral Shafter and slapped the generals
face. He was promptly arrested and
confined. The act would seem from this
10 nave been purely wanton.

1t will not escape attention" the
Springfield Republican (Indl. says, that
the chief promoters of annexation in both
branches of Congress have been the lead
ing opponents of the extreme protective
idea, and the loudest of alarmists over
Asiatic competition. But here they are
aggressively, impatieutly and intolerably
forcing into the tariff bounded area con-

very competition they have most warmly

In 1864 Abraham Lincoln welcomed TO
the Carit the first Senator from the State
of Nevada in these words:-
81 have watched with solicitude the de.
"velopment of the mines of gold and silver
:" in the West during all the time we have
been taxing the resources of the country
to the last extremity to prosecute the war
The fact that when the output of gold
appeared to be declining, the great silver
mines of Nevada were discovered seemed
Proyidential. The people can hardly
realize the great support which the mines
: of the West have already been to the
credit of the United States, and believe
we may readily anticipate from the deyel-
"opment which is taking place in that
region, that our mines will not only con-
tinue to furnish a basis of credit, but
" will greatly relieve the burdens Of the
people in paying off the National debt.
The mines of the United States were
kept open to the free and unlimited coinage
of Gold and Silver through LincoIu's
administration, as they always had been
kept since George Washington, the first
President, so opened them.
Does any one believe that Lincoln, if he
were living, would be a suppliant for
other nations consent" or sycophantic

Eagle Destroye

Eagle Destroyed the Santo Domingo.
Key West, July 2O.--It was definitely
established today that the Spanish
steamer Santo Domingo, of $500 tons,
was fired upon and run ashore at Cape
Francis by the auxiliary gunboat Eagle
on July H. The Eagle sighted her close
to the shore early in the morning, and
opened fire with her six Founders, send
ing 70 shots at her nearly all of which
took effect. While this was going on
another steamer came out of the bay
and took off the officers and crew of
the Santo Domingo. When the men
from the Eagle boarded the latter they
found that she carried two five inch
and two twelve inch guns, the latter
being loaded and her magazines OPEN
