mes is officially announced, The United
States troops Immediately occupied the
city.
The government was notified by the
Spanish consul at Hongkong Of the sur
render of Manila, but it is not yet aware
OF the manner in which the surrender
was effected.
Senior Saeasta, on leaving the palace,
denied that General Blanco and other
generals were opposing the govern
nent's policy. as had b@en alleged
1t Is now known from seniof1ciaI
sources that the government knew Mon
day that Manila capitulated on Satur-
day after General Jaudemes had taken
over the command from General Au-
gustin and the latter had been author
i1ed to quit his port and to embark on a
foreign warshlp for Hongkong. Manila
apparently capituIated because of lack
Of food the population and garrison
having suffered the greatest privations.
The cabinet has decided to order Gen.
eral Blanco and all other Spanish gen.
erals in the Antilles to remain at their
respective posts until the evacuation Is
completed.
General Wesley Merritt, it is reported
here, took the greatest precaution in Or
der to prevent the insurgents from in
terfertns with the capitulatIon OF Ma
Mia or approaching the city
The Madrid press fears that the sur
render may affect Span's position in the

Vermont in the War.

Now that the battle flags are furled
and the war drums beat no longer it is
perhaps well to review the work Of the
various States in this late conflict with
our Spanish foes. What other states
have done in the struggle we care not.
As loyal Green Mountain patriots we
have just pride in the bravery and
ability OF those who march with the
army as well as Of those who stand up
on the deck of the iron clad war boat.
When our forefathers sought to sha g
off the yoke Of oppression, it was band
Of Green Mountain boys who marched
and fought under Ethan Allen and who
met the powerful army of the enemy on
the plains Of Bennington When the
ship OF State was about to dash upon
the rocks during the slavery storm from
1860 to 1865, Vermont volunteers were
in the front line Of battle, never re-
treating until the flag of the foe had
been furled forever. The long list of
bloody strfcs where Vermonters fought.
and bled, and died, for the Stars and
Stripes is known to every school boy in
the land. The deeds OF the martyras
who were mustered ont" at Gettys-
burg, the Wilderness, Cedar Creek,
Cold Harbor and other historic places,
are all held in sacred memory by loyal
Vermonters.
When the next history Of thi. coun-
try shall be written, then shall we see
what Vermont did in the war for the
freedom Of the "Gem of the Antile..r
We shall read Of the hero Dewey, who
in far off Manila Bay Remembered

OF General Shaftsr, who is a product Of
good old Vermont stock. Read with pride
that Captain Phillips Of the Texas is the
