OCCTPiTION or MANILA.

Washington Aug 13.-It IL expected that the
American occupation Of Manila will occur i'm
mcdiately after the receipt by Admiral Dewey
and General Merritt OF the order sent them last
night This may not ba deferred by the lack
OF cable facilities. as the American occupation
of Manila probably will result In the opening
of direct cable communication between that
city and the outside world. The only difficulty
thus far has been that the cable company
would not recognize American control OF the
cable SO long as the American forces were not
in possession Of the city. The orders sent Ad-
miral Dewey are much more specific than those
sent other naval commanders. as the occupation
of Manila and the holding Of the bay and har-
bor involve more important considerations than
the mere cessation OF hostilites
II was at first thought the Navy Department
had a dispatch boat at Hong Kong ready to
carry forward the orders TO Admiral Dewey and
General Merritt but the Department learned to-
dav that no dispatch boat was at Hong Kong
although one was likely to reach there to-day or
tomorrow Meanwhile it Is possible that Con-
sui Wildman may charter a steamer and send
the orders forward. He has general Instructions
as dispatch agent. and 1t was said at the State
Department to-day that these instructions gov
ern in the present case. General Greely is
satisfied no use can be made Of the cable con-
Meeting Hong Kong with Manila. as there are
no cable operators at the Manila end

STOPPING THE COMPARTMENT.

Washington. Aug. 13-Word having been re-
cejyed here OF an engagement at Manzanlllo,
efforts were made at once by this Government
and by Spain 10 get word to the American ana
SDanish forces tnai cessation OF hostilities had
been ordered.
Advices received this morning stat" that cap
tain General Blanco had succeeded IN getting
word 10 Manzauio of the present p@acefu
status Of affairs.
A dispatch has been received stating that the
orders Of Acting Secretary Allen reached the
naval commanders at Manzarillo this morning,
a nd that hustilities then ceased.
Very indefinite informa ton has been received
here regarding the engagement at Manzaniiio.
Dispatch were received at the White House
last night stating that a naval bombardineht
was in progress. Efforts were made at once by
the War and Navy Departments to get nfor-
nation TO Manzanlo that the protocol had been
signed Assistant Secretary Allen sent dls-
patch through Havana to the naval commander
at Manzanllo 10 cease host!lities.
There was an impression at the war Depart
mept that no engagement took place at Man
zanillo. and that the report was the result OF
misinformation somewhere.

sALoME,s DANCING.
She Postured Before King Herod ON
Her Hands,


James Tissot has, in his remarkable
offered striking and undoubtedly true
version of the dance of Salome before
Herod. Many and famous artists before
him have given us their idea of that
tonishing dance, the forfeit of which was
the head OF John the Baptist. Tssot fol-
lows none of them nor their traditions,
but the Salome he paints moves before
Herod on her hands. her feet In the air.
Instead of light drapery of gauze she
is swathed from chin to toes in close.
heavy embroidered garments. The silk
trousers common TO all Oriental women.
are caught snugly about her ankles, her
feet are naked and her head, oiled. curled
and heavy with pomatums, Is gorgeousiy
dressed. Only her arms are bare and yet
they are resplendent with bracelets, while
her face is artfully painted, the eyes so
darkened about as to give them myste-
rious languishing expression.
This is assuredly the way Salome dane
ed her famous measure, says Mr.. Tissot,-
for no ordinary achievement on her part
was required in order to excite Herod to
the pitch of enthusiasm and extravaganza
he reached. An abundance of beautiful
and skilled dancers were invariably at
the Kings command, in consequence a
peculiarly brilliant effort was needed for
Salome to achieve her end, which she did
by admirably performing one of the as
tonishing acrobatic dances that are to
this day, known and practiced in some
parts of the East.
Only a woman with marvelously supple
body and muscles of steel can go through
these figures and the professional con-
tortionists in our circuses more nearly
give us the idea of what Salomes move
ments must have been. She, however,
danced undoubtedly alternately on hands
and feet to inspiring music, keeping time
with the tinkling OF the silver bangles on
her arms, walking on her hands among
maze of eggs. swaying and leaping with
sword points touching her eye lids, CIV
ing her 1.-the body the motions of a ser
pent and all the while watching the half
drunken King with her strangely painted
eyes until she had brought him to the
required pitch of reckless passion.
Certainly Mr.. Tissot's arguments are
very convincing and Furthermore he
points out that in a famous church in
Rouen. among the exquisite. -mediaeval
sculptures that decorate it..is a small
stone Salome dancing on her hands be-
fore Herod. This shows that one brother
| artist was impressed by the same convic-
tion, for as Mr.. Tissot says. dancing
among the Orientals takes the place as a
religious and festive rite that singing
does among the occidentals.

Princess Mary of Teek took Princess Hell

Princess Mary of Teck took Princess Hell
ene's place.
When the Duke of Clarence died there
Is no doubt that this Bourbon princess
mourned him deeply and sincerely. and
refused for a time TO consider any mat
trimonial arrangements that the old Prin-
cess Ciementina, of Saxe-Coburg, propos-
ed to the Comtesse de Paris. No love-
match in any sense was her marriage
with King Humbert's nephew. the Duke
d'Aosta. She married him simply be-
cause of her mothers pleadings. and the
Prince of Naples. refusing to marry,
there seemed every chance that d'Aosta
would one day be called to the Italian
throne.
After her wedding, the princess made
no secret of her dislike for her yoke,
and for her adopted country, and when
the Prince of Naples did finally marry.
impetuous Helene. believing her hopes
of queening 1t in Italy TO be forever
cut off, decided to return to her be-
loved England. BY the united pleadIngs
of her mother and her kindly. clever
sister-in-law. the Duchess d'Orleans,
family scandal was by chance averted
and she was persuaded to stay in Italy.
Just now her prospects OF holding an
exalted position among the crowned heads
of Europe seem brighter. The Prince
of Naples is not over-strong no chill
dren have yet blessed his union with
his lovelys.. Montenegrin wife. and the
Duchesse d'Aosta has lately become the
| mother OF a fine boy. The promise seems
to be that her husband. fine stalwart
fellow. will outlive his cousin, and that
he Will succeed to the throne, while for
the present the duchesses baby son Is
heir presumptive TO the crown OF Italy.
The times., 1898-12-04

When the princes eldest son came to
a marriageable age it was found that he
and the Princess Helene entertained
something more than a sentiment of more
friendly affection for each other, and only
a difference of religion stood between the
union of the young people. Queen Victo-
ria has always highly esteemed the mod
ern Bourbons and In court circles the pos
sibility of a marriage was seriously dis
cussed. Eager to marry not only the man
she loved, but the man who would some
day. she hoped, be king Of England and
emperor Of India, Princess Helene posted
on to see the Pope. His Holiness was
obdurate and SO were the English people:
the Queen was wise enough not to sane
ton any alliance for her grandson save
munion Of the Anglican church and the
