The situation in til. philippines.

Washington, Aug. General Mer-
nit mas again cabled to the War De-
partment relative to the situation in
Manila, which he finds very unsai is
factory and dangerous. owing to the
attitude of the insurgents.

right to enter md posses themselves

insurgents are d very much more
formidable element, being not only
o numerous, but letter armed,
filled with the arrogance following
numerous victories over the Spanish
foes. Gener Il Merritt, however, i'll

protect the citizens from the savagery
OF the insurgents. though his task
is a delicate and difficult one, beca, Sc
OF the fact that he must. while tiLht-
ing the Spaniards. be ready at n
moment to repel the insurgents.
The General gave notice that he WAS
about to combine with Admiral
Dewey in a joint demand for the sur
render Of the city to the United States
forces, thus forestallng the insur-
gents, and this move may cause a
rupture. Is is possible, in view of
the fact that General Merritt's cable
gram was sent from Cavita last
Thursday, that this movement has
been ma lie already by the combined
military and naval force, although,
there is some doubt on this point ON
account Of a statement from Merritt
that he may need all Of his sol Tiers
before attacking. Still, it is possible
that the demand might he made
without being followe 10y in attack
which might be deferred until all the
troops have reached Cavite.
Washington, Aug. 1.--Secretary
Alger and Secretary Long are in con
ference with the President over the
serious situation in the PHILIPPINES.
They have had important dispatches
from General Merritt and Admiral

the significance OF these dispatches,

the ladies are very important factor
in every municipal election and the
direction their votes shall take is al
ways an anxious problem with the
political managers. In the present
chaotic condition of lola city politics
it is reasonably certain that the can
didates who have the support of the
ladies will be elected, and the anxiety
of the managers is therefore par.
ticularly acute.
AS a matter of fact it is pretty

POINTS AND MOOT POINTS

Man is naturally cruel-he steps on
the worm unless he stops to reason.
Cruelty is the revenge we take for
our own just sufferings.
We love the kind-not because they
are kind, but because we are selfish.
Man is more tyrannical to the mind
than to the body of man.
A very little actual power exercises
all the tyranny of the universe.
Timidity, vacillation, irresolution
are fatal qualities.
The black frost of fear nips indis-
criminately host of the blossoms of
good and evil.
Weak wills have terrible tasks i'm
posed upon them those the strong
cannot endure for themselves.
If the brute creation could bring
mankind into court, who can doubt
which side the Divine Justice would
take?

MAXIMS IN THE SOUDAN,

Fight earnestly, leave off evil; the
avoidance of it is true education.
He who overcomes his own heart
bends it as sickle is bent.
This life is sowing time for the
future life; all wko SOW good deeds
shall enter the great city.
Whoever chooses this world rejects
the choice of the next; he seizes one
cowry but loses two thousand cowries.
About this saying there is no uncer-
tainty: whoever rejects it, leave him
alone, that he may become a heather.
This world is like a room where we
see ropes set up for weaving and thread
is placed ready.
If there is no purity there is no
prayer, as you know; if there is no
prayer there is no drinking of the wa
ter of heaven.
You will obtain reward according
to the character of your actions on
earth; you will come to meet with
these actions in the next world.
He who possesses knowledge but
does not act accordingly, what will he
have to say on the day of the resur-
rection?

SOME THINGS TO KNOW .

In some parts of Italy the govern
ment has to spend $4,000 to collect $2,-

1t sometimes happens that it takes a
speaker longer to clear his throat than
1t does to clear the hall.
The Bank of England contains silver
ingots which have laid in its vaults

Whistling is practically unknown
among the Icelanders, who regard 1t as
irreligious and violation of the divine
law.
When a man is sure that his friends
never say unkind things about him,
he may be sure that all his friends are
dead.
Russia, with population of 127 ,OO0,-
coo, has only 1884 physicians. The
United States, with about 10000, 900,
has 100000
1t is said that men who never drink,
smoke or stay out late at night live to
a ripe old age. Perhaps that's their

Foul water is purified by it.
No better known disinfectant can be
used.
Tainted meat can be sweetened and
purified by its use.
Charcoal is so porous that it absorbs
and condenses gases rapidly.
Strewn over the skins of birds and
animals it will prevent all unpleasant
odors.
A teaspoonful added to half a glass
of water is a remedy for acidity of the
stomach and often relieves sick head

Happy are they who look before they

There is nothing manly man ad-

An actress is of,en indebted to the
florist for the flowers she gets over the
