Severe Electrical storm.

A severe electrical storm passed over
lower Luzerne on Tuesday evening.
Tho lightning, thunder, rain and hail
came so rapidly and with such force
that many feared considerable damage
would result. Fortunately this vicinity
escaped without loss OF life or destruc-
tion of property. In the Coke addition
the residence OF Mrs. Hugh Dever was
struck by lightning, but no serious results
followed. At Alvintown the barn of d.
0. KrOmmes was also struck. The
building was slightly damaged and a
horse was badly stunned These were
the most serious accidents reported.

weeks, pending extradition papers asked
for by Maryland authorities, ESCAPED
from his cell in the station house Tues

OF authorities at Cumberland, Md, who
said he was wanted there for embezzle-
ment and making false representations
IN regard to certain saving fund of

placed under the knob on the inside,
and it required some time to force the

off and bent upwards, making an open

minister escaped.
The distance was twenty feet from
the window to the ground, but Ander-
son had tied IA blanket to the bars and
used that as Il rope to reach the ground.

manner and another blanket was used

The Spanish trench extended around
Manila at a distance of from two to
four miles from the walled city. The
circle was ten miles in circumference
1t was impossible to hold so long line
against the American attack.
1t Is understood that Admiral Dewey
and Gen. Merritt issued orders to
spare all but the armed defences. CON
sequently the town was little dam
aged.
There has been some street fighting
between insurgents and Spanards In
the outskirts, but good order is main
tained within the walled city.

rHiLipPlNE QUESTION.
fhe Administration WIN be Influenced By
Public Opinion.

Washington, Aug. l5.-The most Sc
rious question the commissioners who
negotiate the treaty of peace with
Spain will have TO meet is the disposi-
ton of the Philippines. Before the
commission assemblies it is hoped the
affairs of Cuba and Porto Rico will bo
found in such process of adjustment as
90 leave little for the commission to
consider under that head The abso-
Lutte REIMBURSEMENT by Spain of all
authority over the islands in the West
Indies win allow only the property
questions TO be settled between the
governments as to what Spain shall
take away and as to what shall remain
captures of war, and the protection of
Spanish subjects and their property In
the islands. The greater question
growing out of the war, as relating to
Cuba and Porto Rico, will have to be
dealt with by the United States alone.
present different problem in the
peace negotiations has caused the ad-
ministration to give it great deal Of
careful attention. Several suggestions
have been made as to what shall be
done, one being the retention of the
bay, city and the harbor of Manila,
just what the protocol gives Temporal
rily- Another is that Subig bay and
sufficient amount of territory for ma
val and coaling station be secured and
the building up of an American city at
that place begun. Still another idea,
which is being considered is the reten-
tion of the island of Luzon, the advo-
Gates of that plan believing there
would be trouble between the govern
ments which occupied a portion of the
island with a line of demarkation such
as would exist in case Manila and the
bay only was retained. The Island of
Luzon is the largest of the group and
contains about 3,o0o,oo0 people, who
Rre said to be the better class in the
Philippines. 1t is believed, however,
the administration and the commission
will be greatly influenced by the re-
ports which AdnNral Dewey and GEN
eral Merritt will make on the subject.
Their reports are expected before the
commission meets.

Hongkong, August 17.--The First
Colorado Volunteers were the leaders
in the battle at Manila. 1t was the
Colorado boys who stormed the outer
trenches and drove the Spaniards into
the second line of defense. Admiral
Dewey had given General Augusti an
hours time in which to surrender, but
the general refused to comply.
The bombardment, which began at
$3.50 a, m, was continued for two hours.
and then the Americans stormed the
trenches, sweeping all before them
driving all the Spaniards into the in
ner fertilization, where the Spanish
commander, seeing that further resist
ance was useless, hoisted the white
flag and surrendered.
The losses, American and Spanish,
are not yet known. The Spaniards in
the trenches probably numbered 5000
men. The Anne rican attacking force
numbered 10000, aud the Americans
were better armed better trained and

American warships engaged were the

The Spanish trenches extended
around Manila at distance of from
two to four miles from the walled city,

Spaniards say, to hold so long a line

Admiral Dewey and General Merritt

the city, and consequently the town is
understood to have been but little dam
