AROUSED GREAT INTEREST

News of the Fall of Manila, However,
Was Not Unexpected.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l6. The infor-
nation contained in Consul Wildman S
brief message aroused intense interest
but created no surprise amole, those
officials who received it. For two or
three days news Of the fall OF Manila
has been expected. The latest dis.
patches received from Admiral Dewey
and General Merritt indicated that it
was the intention to force surrender
Of the city as soon as possible. 1t is
supposed they joined in note demand
ing the surrender Of Manila, threaten.
ing to make combined sea and land
attack upon the city unless the de.
mand was acceded to. Although no
further information has been received
except that contained in
Consul Wldman's Dispatch
by the administration, it was con.
frmed in part by the receipt of brief
dispatch from Madrid. If the report
of General Anguish is true, and it's &C.
curacy is not doubted here, official dis.
patches will be received by the govern
ernment in day or two at least.
The fight of General August from
Manila created some amusement here
among officials. AS one of them ex-
pressed it, chad he maintained his po-
sition, hard as it was, until the arrival
of the dispatches of peace, he would be
a hero, but he will now be branded as
q coward"

Philippine Governor Escaped on Fast

Hone KONG, Aug. Ii. - General
August, captain general of the Phil
ippines, arrived by the Kaiserin
Augusta from Manila. He refuses to
be interviewed and will say nothing
more than that he is going to Spain at
the first opportunity. It is signifi-
cant fact that while the fastest Ger.
man cruiser has brought General Au.
gusti she brings only small package
of mail for the German consul. The
consul is now in Canton and his mail
matter remains unopened.
The precise facts are unkn own, but
it is supposed that General August
fed from the Philippines.
General Augusti's wife and family
accompany him.

AHEAD OF VANDERBILT.
Potter Palmer to Eclipse the
Marble House With a
100000 Home.

New York, Feb.4.-POtter Palmer, the
wealthy hotel man of Chicago, is about
to build at Newport a mansion which
it is said will be even more palatial and
luxurious than any of the other beauti
full summer homes now in existence
there, including even the celebrated
Marble house, built by William K.Van-
derbilt and now owned by Mrs. o. H.
P Belmont. Mr.. Palmer, it is under
stood, expects to spend between $4,000
900 and SO. 900, 900 on his new home.
Within the last few days Mr.. Palmer
has purchased as the site for his man
sion q acres of land on Sporting Rock
shore with three fine residences upon ii.
The latter will be torn down and the
new house built in commanding place
on the cliff These houses thus ac-
ouired are the Train Villa, built by
George Francis Train when he was at
the height of his prosperity; the Davis
cottage and the Parker mansion
The site is Immediately opposite Hen
ry Clews' place, the Rocks, and by many
.people is considered the finest site in
Newport.
What Mr. Palmer has already spent
for the site for his house cannot be as
certained definitely, but the price must
be a large one even for Newport prop
erty. William K. Vanderbilt paid $780,
coo an acre for the four acres on which
the Marble house stands, and Mrs.
Brooks paid $40, 900 an acre for the Il
acres she owns Mr.. Palmer's new
property is said to have cost him
sum even greater in proportion.

FRUIT OF DINGLEY LAW.
Exporters of Apples Are Not Deceiv
ed by Germany's Pretenses.

New York, Feb. A conference was
held today of all the large exporters eff
American fruits to consider the unex-
pected attitude of Prussia in prohibiting
the Importation of fruits from this
country. All the leading exporters We're
present and it was found by comparing
notes that more than $4,000 barrels of
fruit were either in transit or already
at German ports, which, under the new
ruling would be prohibited from enter
ing. AS the fruit will not keep it is
probable the shippers will lose hun
dreds of thousands of dollars on their
shipments, unless they can find other
markets. The exporters of fruit de-
cided to forward an appeal to Wash
ingtOn asking that the government try
to get the embargo raised.
Said one of those in attendance: 1.-The
story that the embargo was established
because of insects in American fruit is
all bOsh. The principal fruit sent to
Germany is apples and this state,
Pennsylvania and Virginia sent the
now coming strongly into the market
with a superior class of fruit, carefully
packed We have received little def
mite information to the prohihitory
order, but understand that it is based
chiefly on the fact that there is danger
the imported fruit. This cannot be- as
the only insect that can be found in
American apples is the cooling moth,
which is dead before the apple is ripe.
Apples that were in any way affected
by this moth would not keep so as to
be in condition for a foreign shipment"
1t was estimated from the records
kept of shipments of apples to Germany
that about 100. 900 barrels had been sent
there in the season of 1S97-9S. In addi-
ton to this, some 10000 boxes of Cali
fornia apples had been shipped in the

1t was a striking reception when COM
pared with that she received at. the
Santa Fe depot last fall when she came
to Topeka for the first time. But then
she was LOrena, the patron saint of the
Karniva1 Knights, and last night she
was just plain member Of a very poor
vaudeville company.
Miss Whitney made a great mistake
when she went into vaudeville. The
kind of fame she acquired last fall was
not the kind to make vaudeville stars.
Miss Whitney sang Ave Maria" and
popular ballad as an encore. She
demonstrated that her voice without
more training is not fitted for the stage.
The vaudeville company of which
Miss Whitney is a member is an infe-
riOr organization. With one or two
exceptions the features were bad. The
audience was small, and confined prin-
cipally to the first floor. But few peo-
pie patronized either the balcony or
gallery.
IN explanation of the reason that a re-

Whitney, the following telegram from

Causes a California Man to Murder
His Brother and Sister.

Suisun, Gala, Feb. 4.-Frank Bellew
has been arrested on a ranch near Ell

charged with numbering his brother
and sister by poison. Lewis and Su-
sic Bellew were two of the most pop

lived together in a cottage on the out
skirts of the town.
The night before they were poisoned
early last November. Frank Bellew ate
supper at the house. He was the one
person who had access to the water and
food. When the victims took sick he
was almost the first person to come to
their house. He helped the nurses to
make Cruel, using water from the tea
kettle he is alleged to have poisoned.
The day before the crime Frank Bel

complained to him bitterly as he had
done to others that he had not re-
ceived enough of the property of his
parents who had overlooked him in
their will He added: Bird, I'm going
to commit a terrible crime tomorrow.
I'm going to commit a tragedy that win
shock the whole community" After
the crime Bird had reason to believe
that Bellew intended to kill him and
has made a statement which led to his
