ITO the Sporting Editor, The Times:

I'm the bay Admiral Dewey's fleet
Numbered a national salute. The com
bined land and naval forces We're en-
ployed in the capture of the Spanish
stronghold Of the Philippines. At .
O'Clock in the morning the signal to
begin firing was set on Admiral Dew
ey's flagship. The authorities in the
city and the consuis of foreign pow.
ers had previously been notified or the
intended bombardment. For two
hours great shells were thrown into
the city.
After the bombardment the troops
moved forward to attack the Spaniards
in their trenches. There had been no
reply to Dewey's bombardment. but the
land forces met with a hot recpetion.
But the onward rush of the Americans
could not be stayed. With a loss of
i've killed and two score wounded.
they drove back the Spaniards and
captured the trenches. In a shot time
a white flag was hOisted by the Dons
and 1000 soldiers and 1900 RIFLES and
a great quantity of ammunition was
surrendered. The Spanish loss has not
yet been ascertained. 1t is probably
several times as large as that of the
American forces. The Spanish forces
numbered about 5000 men but they
were well intrenched.

called Yankees east of the Hudson so
long that the lame is as familiar and
acceptable as If it had not been origin
ally used in scorn and contempt. 1t
isn't a very pretty word when you come
to think about it. 1t suggests a lean,
lank person. with a t~urkey-like neck
and a long, ungraceful stride. 1t fits
the popular pictures of Uncle Sam ex-
actly. 1t does not bring before the
mind at first a vision of fashion and
culture. but rather the rugged Ameri-
canism of an earlier day, which our
transatlantic cousins smiled at and
caricatured. Yet a century of usage has
gradually wrought a change in the sig.
n~ificance of the word.

INSURGENTS WILL NOT BE REC
OGNIZED AS ALLIES AT
MANILA.
Administration Notifies Dewey and
Merritt That Order Must Be Main
tanned in the Philippines-Amer-
lean Officers Will Have Entire
Charge of Affairs.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE two
American commanders, Admiral Dewey
and Major General Merritt. united in
a joint dispatch, which was received
here late this afternoon, asking for in
struction as to the manner of dealing
with the various elements, particularly
the insurgents, now that the city is oc-
cupied by the American forces.
After the conference at the White
House, in which Secretary Alger and
Acting Secretary Allen participated, in
structions were sent to She two Amer
lean commanders. The text of the re-
quest for Instructions and of the answer
was not made public, but Secretary
Algor summed up the Instructions SUBJ
stantially as follows:
1.-The instructions are to enforce law
and order and to treat all law abiding
citizens alike"
The instructions are practically the
same as those SEN last night to General
LIwton. The latter order specifically
stated that the insurgents must recog-
niZe the military occupation and au-
thority of the United States and the
cessation of hostilities proclaimed by
this government. Doubtless the same
rule is being applied to the insurgents
under Auguinaldo, although it was not
officially stated that such specific Or
ders were made.
1t is said the joint dispatch from
Dewey and Merritt did not in terms
refer to Aguinaldo, nor did the in
structions mention the insurgent lead
err by name.
1t is well understood, however, that
the desire of the American command
els was to have instructions on the
manner of dealing with the large and
menacing forces of insurgents under
A~guiraldo, who have surrounded Ma
Mia for many weeks, and VINO, 1t is
thought, may or may not have demand

the American forces, as the Cuban in
surgents did at Santiago.
1t had been thought in some quarters
here that the showing heretofore made
by the insurgents would lead to their
receiving a certain amount of recog-
milton in the way of joint action be-
tween the United States forces and
those of the insurgents when the city
was occupied. but the instructions sent
tonight are based on occupation by the
United States alone. and as a high adj
ministration official summed up the
situation, There shall be no Joint ac-
ton except between Merritt and Dewey.
They will mainttin law and order and

CANNOT START THAT CABLE.
Spain Must Give the Order to Open the
Manila Line.

Washington, Aug. lit is learned
at the war department hat the reopen
ing of the cable to Manila was sur
rounded by some complications. This
cable was laid by a British company
by permission of the Spanish govern
ment, which granted the company a
subsidy.
When Admiral Dewey cut the cable
because the Spanish authorities would
not allow him the use of it, it was seal
ed up at Hong Kong by order of the
Spanish government, and 1t is claimed
that al order from the Spanish govern,
men will be necessary before the COM
pany will be authorized to reopen it.
1t has been believed all along that
as soon as Manila was in possession OF
the Americans the cable company
would feel at liberty to restore cable
communication between Hong Kong
and Manila. But this is not the view
of officials Of the war department who
have looked into the subject.

patriotic tune that is still said to be-
received with doubtful favor in the
capital of the C~onfederacy, but it will
not take long for Richmond to get used
at Lexington, Ky, the ether night, Col
onel Henry Waterson said: Some OF lis
are old enough to remember the de-
~lusions that once had a certain vogue
among the unthinking, that one South
erner could whip six Yankees We got
Dravely over that, and now that we are
all Yankees, let it not be imagined that
one Yankee can whip six Spaniards."
Now that we are all Yankees" That
has a patriotic ring. Whatever the
reason, it is as Yankees that we are
known abroad, rather than as Hoosiers
or Crackers or Badgers or Buckeyes or
Wolverines. In Europe a Yankee
means an American, not necessarily a
dweller of Maine or Rhode Island or
Connecticut.
Nobody knows where the word came
from. Some ingenious philologist has
traced it back &c "YangeeSe." a term
said to have been applied to the Eng
fish by the early American Indians in
their crude attempt to pronounce the
latter word. 1t really does not matter
any where it started than where
the tune Yankee Doodle originated.
Lovers of historical inquiry have at
tempted to find out where the melody
was composed. but all they have been
able to discover is that something very
much like it is known IN many distant
ly separated countries. having been in

despised above all men, and the legis-
latura of South Carolina forbade the
playing of the melody in that state.

The New England type has i'm
pressed itself on the rest of the nation
in this respect as in so many others.
So the Angles gave their name to Eng

alike. requiring all to observe peace

alike, requiring all to observe peace
and order"
Aside from this joint dispatch, the
only other word received from Manila
during the day was in the brief dispatch
from Admiral Dewey announcing the
surrender of the city last Saturday. A
detailed dispatch from General Merritt
was a~nXiously awaited throughout the
day, as it was feared that the sharp en-
gagement of the land forces during the
storming of Manila had resulted in
some casualties on our side, but no dis
patch came from General Merritt up 10
the close of Office hours tonight, except
the one in which he ic;ns with Admiral
Dewey in asking for instructions
Secretary Alger concluded from this
that the casualties could not have been
heavy, as he felt sure General Merritt
would promptly report any consider
able loss. There was a bare possibility
that a cipher dispatch from Merritt had
miscarried.
It was noted that neither the first
dispatch Of Admiral Dewey nor the
joint dispatch of Dewey and Merritt
made any reference whatever tic the
part which the German cruiser Kaiserin
Augusta took in removing Captain
General Augusti from Manila to Hong
Kong. From this the officials believe
that the American commanders do not
attach serious significance to the course
of he German naval authorities.
The incident continues to cause some
irritation here, but it is practically GER
tain that no official congnizance will be
taken of it. A high official of the navy
department said that at most the course
of the German naval commander was
one of bad taste. There is no DISPOSE
ton in any official quarter at present to
carry the incident to the point of con-
%sidering it a breach of neutrality, as
has been suggested in some British
newspapers.
Now that the surrender of Manila
is officially reported, il ,an be stated
that Manila is being held by virtue of
military occupation and surrender,
and not by virtue of the protocol. These
differences are said to amount to little
in practical results, but yet such as it
is, all officials agree that the occupation
IS the result of the combined military
and naval operations. According to
Admiral Dewey's dispatch, the surren-
der occurred about 5 p. M. last Satur-
day. The peace protocol was signed at
4:23 p. m. on Friday. 1t is said that the
difference in time between Manila and
Washington is such that the surrender
reckoned on Washington time would
be about twelve hours ahead of the
time at Manila. or about 5 a. m. Satur-
day. In point of actual time, therefore
the signing of the peace protocol pre-
coded the actual surrender of Manila
by a a few hours. But it is a we'll es-
tablished rule of military law, accept
ed the world over. that a peace arm
istice or cessation of hostilities does
not become binding upon commanding
officers until they receive actual notice
of it.
There has been no time to consider
what will be done with the 1000 Span
ish prisoners taken, but the fact that
an amicable understanding had been
reached with Spain as to the occupation
of Manila will probably operate ITO
tighten the condition Of these prisoners.

MULCTED THEM IN COSTS.
Although Not Guilty Hooley's OppO-
nents Were Made to Pay Heavily.

London. Aug. lin the queens
bench division of the high court Of
Justice today. Justice Wright acquitted
Earl De La War; and Mr.. Broadley OF
the charge of contempt Of court in an
alleged attempt to induce Earnest TIE.
rah Hooley. the bankrupt company
promoter. to falsify his evidence in the
bankruptcy court.
The learned Judge. however, said that
both were blamable and he mulcted
them the costs.
Justice Wright said that while he
must absolve Earl De La War; of the
charge of bribery, he must hold that
the earl had wrongly tried to correct
statements made by him in the bank
ruptcy proceedings and had wrongfully
promised to help Mr.. Hooley.
Mr.. HOoley, the judge said. ought not
to be regarded as a mere liar, scatter
ing statements and accusations without
the respondents, but as on the witness
stand he was rash, reckless and in
accurate, appearing to be suf-
fering from illusions in a hopeless at
tempt to disentangle the true from the
false. his evidence was unsafe to act
upon, especially in a case of such i'm
p%ortance.
Mr.. Bradshaw's evidence as to the
Earl De La Wars proposal to help
Mrs. HoOley was remarkable. although
Mr.. Bradshaw had no cause to testify
falsely. 1t must be remembered. the
judge continued. that the earl had an
overwhelming motive for obtaining
Mr.. Hooley's retraction. He could not
believe that it was nut of mere charity
that Earl De La War; had promised
Mrs. liooley CT 900. On the contrary
he was forced to the conclusion that
the promise was connected with the
earl's strong and natural desire to
clear himself from Hooley's accusa-
tons. Nevertheless he acquitted De
La War; of the imputation of inducing
Mr.. lIOOley to testify falsely.
With regard to the alleged bribery he
could not wholly absOlve Earl De La
War;. With regard to THE money the
carl received. possibly the latter believ-
ed it was received for services rendered.
or as a gift from Hooley. The Judge
said he supposed that was generally
Tire way names were paid for. but as these
proceedings were only intended to vim
dicate justice. it would be a sufficient
punishment for Earl De La Wars in
discretion if the court ordered him to
pay costs.
With reference to Mr.. B%roadley's
case, Justice Wright considered him, he
aid, much more guilty in asking Mr..
llooley falsely to say that he made a re-
without communicating with
the Earl De La War;. Broadley was
guilty of subornation of perjury and
while he (the judge) was in doubt
whether he ought not to deal very diff
ferently with Mr.. Broadley he had con-
cluded TO make the same order in
~Broadley's case as in the Earl De La
Wars.

MASTERING OUT.


Washington, Aug. 17.-At midnight
tonight the president announced the de-
cision to muster out of the service
from 5000 to 100, 900 volunteers. Those
to be discharged will include three
branches Of the service, infantry, az
tillery and cavalry. So far as the in
terest of the government will permit, it
is believed the president, in mastering
out the volunteers will accommodate
himself to the desire of the men them,
selves. Within certain obvious limita,
tons those troops who want to be
mustered out will be, and those who de-
sire to continue in the service will be
retained as long as they may be needed.
1t may be some time before the organi-
cations to be mustered out will be des-
ignated, but the reduction in the vol,
unteer force will be made as soon as
practicable.

Of the undergraduates was sounded
In the senate yesterday by Senator
Vest, of Missouri who introduced a
joint resolution declaring that under
the constitution the federal government
had no authority to 'quire colonial
possessions, to he governed as such,
but all the territory az luired by the
government except such as may be
necessary for use as coaling stations,
correction Of boundaries and similar
purposes, may be acquired with the
purpose of organizing territories, suit
able ultimately for admission into the
Union as states Mr. Vest announced
his purpose to address the senate on the
resolution at an early day A brief
discussion of the navigation laws was
precipitated by the consideration Of the
bill amending those laws by the addi-
ton of a provision that foreign built
vessels, wrecked in the United States,
purchased by ci liens of this country
and repaired to the extent of three
fourths Of their value, shall be subject
to forfeiture if they engage subse-
quently in the coastwise trade of the
United States.

and an adjournment taken until today,
out of respect to their memory.
