GIANTS OF PATAGONIA.

, The tribes to the east of the Cordil-
leras, in Southern Patagonia, belong
to Araucanian stock and are a supe-
rior race. The Tehuelches-as they
call themselves-of southern and east
ern Patagonia are the people whose
unusual stature give rise to the ia
bles of the early days to the effect
that the natives of this region were
giants, averaging nine or ten feet in
height 1t is fact, says the Boston
Transcript, that they are the tallest
human beings in the world, the men
averaging but slightly less than six
feet, while individuals of four to six
inches above that mark are not un-
common, They are in reality by no
means savages, but somewhat civiliz-
ed barbarians. They are almost un-
acquainted with the use of fire arms
Notwithstanding some contact with
the whites, but they have plenty of
horses and dogs.
Unsurpassed hunters, they capture
the guanaco and the rhea, or South
American ostrich, and from the skins
of these and other animals they make
clothes and coverings for their tents.
They make beautiful "capes" or
"mantels" of furs and feathers, which
are highly priced by Europeans and
find ready market, most of the pro-
ceeds being spent for bad whiskey,
which is brought into the country in
quantities.

at the mouth of the Pasig The Ame-
rican fleet lay outside the breakwdter.
The Olympia fired the firt shot at
9:4O and fairly continuous, but by
no means furious, cannonade was kept
up until 1920. BY that time the Ma
late fort was silenced, and the Ameri-
can troops then stormed the entrench-
ments. The Spanards who were in
the earthworks say that the quick FIR
ing guns of the little gunboat Rapido
which lay close to the shore, were
far more terrible in their effect than
the ral<ing fire of the ships. Resist
ence to the American attack was i'm
possible.
The American casualties were nine
killed and fourteen wounded. The
Spanish loss is estimated at from 12O
to 600 killed and wounded. The Ame-
ricans captured II, 900 prisoners. 1000

ser rifles, 5000 Remingtons, IS mod

The terms of the surrender of Ma
Mia may be briefly outlined as fol-
lows:
An agreement for the capitulatiou
of the Philippines and provision Tor
disarming the men who remain organ

Necessary supplies to be furnished
from the captured treasury funds,
any possible deficiency being made
good by the Americans.
Safety of the lives and property of
the Spanish soldiers and citizens to
be guaranteed as far as possible.
The question of the transportation
of troops to Spain to be referred to
decision of the Washington govern
ment, and of returning their arms to
soldiers to be left to the discretion of
General Merritt.
Banks and similar institutions to

First-The expulsion of Franciscans

the real cause of the rebellion.
Second-No independent republic.
Third-Spaniards if they retain do

Fourth-That applications for con-
cessions shall be quickly considered
and not shelved for years.
Fifth-That freedom of religion be
stipulated for.

ASSAULTED BY SEA AND LAND MANILA FALLS.
Navy Under Dewey and Army Under
Merritt Share the Glory.
Americans Lose Nine Killed and Forty Wounded
and the Spaniards Six Hundred

NEW YORK, August 16.-Before he
news that peace negotiations were on
foot could reach Admiral Dewey ard
General Merritt, Manila had capitu-
lated to the Americans. The officers
of the army and navy held confer
ence on board the Olympia on Fri
day, August 18th, and arranged to de-
mand on the morrow that the city
should capitulate, and if the demand
was refused that a joint land and sea
attack should be made at noon ON
Saturday.
Early Saturday morning under flag
of truce Admiral Dewey sent the dis
patch boat McCulloch with formal
demand to Captain General Augusti
that the city should capitulate. The
captain general peremptorily refused
to listen to the demand. Signals were
made. to General Merritt that an at
tack would be begun at noon, us pre-
viously arranged, and promptly on the
hour appointed the Olympia, Boston,
Monterey and Charleston begin to
bombard the Notifications of the city
and to drop shells into the city itself.
The eight inch shells of the Olym-
pia did great damage to the fortificL-
tions. Instantaneously with the IA
val bombardment of the forts the
American land forces advanced npon
the city. This battle lasted for two
hours, when a white flag was hoisted
over the forts, which had been near
ly destroyed. No serious damage was
done to the city proper, although
number of buildings were blown up
or burned. The Notifications owry-
er were almost demolished.
The Spanish commander, convinced
that further resistance was hopeless,
hoisted white flag at 1880, md r
ders to cease firing were imme 1iaicIy
issued in the center of the town, but
in the outskirts street fighting con-
tinued for some time afterward be-
tween-rebels and Spaniards.

The attacking force numbered
from 10000 to 10000 natives and TO-

ORGANIZE FOR POLITICS
NEW NATIVE ASSOCIATION TO BE
FORMED TODAY.
Native Ladies Taking Steps to Pre-
sent Their Views on the Franchise
to the Congressional Commission.

The meeting of natives called by S.
*, Kane may develop into move
ment of considerable Importance. 1t
is proposed to form an entirely new
political organization, designed to
supercede or in any event to be indie
pendent of the other native societies
having similar objects. The inceptive
in the movement is S. X. Kane, a
Leading native lawyer and member
of the Council of State. With him are
associated Hon. John l.. Kaulukou,
speaker of the last House of Repre-
sentatives; J. NJ. Poepoe of the Ha-
waiian bar and fifteen or twenty 9th
er native gentlemen of more or less
prominence.
Asked to define the purposes of
the organization, Mr.. Kane said:
I'm common with many others in
what may be termed the educated
class of Hawaiians, j have felt that
the time has come to show that some
of us at least appreciate the change
that has come over Hawaii The
commission is here and ready for
business. 1t is showing every desire
to consult the wishes of the natives,
and doing everything to make us feel
that our interests will be properly
looked after. Now is the chance of
our lives to be heard. Upon the re-
port of the commission the future of
the Hawaiians will largely depend.
Hence | have thought that those of us
who claim to be leaders among the
Hawaiians would be largely to blame
if by our neglect the commissioners
should leave the Islands without
thoroughly understanding how the
Hawaiians feel.
After consulting with some of
those whose views coincide with mine,
it has been decided to organize new
political association, having for it's
primary object the presentation of the
views of the Hawaiian race to the
in a concise and accept
able form and the ultimate object of
advancing the political interests of
the Hawaians as race under the new
The meeting this afternoon is
largely preliminary. We shall effect
a temporary organization and appoint
committees on constitution and by
laws. We hope to be in parmanent
shape early next week and our execu-
tive committee will then consider the
SUBJECTS TO be presented to the COM
mission and will be entrusted with
their proper preparation 1t is too
early to give you a list of the topics
we shall ask the commission to hear
us on, as that has yet to be talked ov-
er and decided on after we effect our
permanent organization. I can say
however that the franchise will be the
most important After that we shall
ask the commission to hear us on mat
ters of local interest to our race, laws
on the statute books affecting us, etc.
We realize that the time of the COM
mission is limited and for that reason
we propose to discuss all these mat
ters first in our own meetings and
then through our executive commit
tee to present them to the commits
sion in concise form and in as brief
a time as possible"
