=. Rim ANNUAL REUNION.
Cincinnati Ready to Receive the vetera )
of Our Wars as fits Eonored Guests

Cincinnati, August 20.-The city is
ready to receive and to honor its half
million guests, who will come to pay
tribute to the soldiers of our two last
wars 1t is the annual encampment
Of the Grand Army of the Republic,
and this year, with the war against
a double Significance.
The Cincinnati entertainment prom
ises to be out of the ordinary as en-
campment entertainments have gone,
by reason of the fact that the com
mittee, under the leadership Of Chair
man NJ. E. ingalls,, has always had in
mind the masses rather than the class
es. In the summary of the program,
which follows, it will be observed that
every feature has been arranged, to
permit the veteran from the ranks,
and the members of his family, enjoy
ing all Of them to the full.
A unique system has been adopted
by which the free entertainment pro-
vided will be limited to veterans and
their families, though all the hum
dreds Of thousands Of visitors expect
ed may participate with but small eX-
pense. coupon entertainment book
will be given every veteran. Each de-
partment headquarters will be pro-
vided with supply OF these little
books equal to the number of repre-
sentatiyes in attendance upon the en-
campment. In these coupon books
will be admission tickets to every
place of amusement and entertainment
in the city. No visitor will be able to
take in all of them, but the tickets
will be there, and he can choose each
days programme to suit his own pleas
ure The extent and varity of the
amusement features offered is almost
bewilderirg.
The week of festivities will open at
10 o'clock Monday morning, Sept. 3,
with the dedication of Camp Sherman,
the military quarters Of the veterans
desiring free quarters. A large Ameri-
can mag will be raised and there will
be imposing ceremonies, with plenty
of music At 8 o'clock in the after
noon another fiag-raising will occur at
the public landing, under the auspices
of the National Naval Veterans AssO-
citation, whose members will be quar-
tered on a fleet of steamboats, at the
river frcnt. At o'clock in the eve
ming the Naval Veterans and EX-Pris-
oners Of War will hold a campfire in
famous Music Hall, though the enter
tainment including prominent speak
ers, war pictures, music and miscel-
laneous entertainments, will be under
the auspices of the local entertainment
committee. These constitute the for

THE FLAG RAISED.
The Hawaiian Islands Formally An
nexed on the Twelfth of August.

San Francisco, August 20,-The
Glenfarg to-day brought the following
adVices:
Honolulu August 11.-To-morrow
at fifteen minutes before noon the
formal ratifications between the gov
ernments of the United States and
Hawaii, by which the Newland's aH-
nexation resolution will be made op-
erative, will take place.
The delay in raising the flag caused
much dissatisfaction in this commun-
ity The public was led to believe
that the American flag would be rails
ed Immediately on the arrival of Ad-
miral Miller.
Finally the government announced
that Friday, the 18th, would see the
flag raised. In the meantime the peo-
pie became passive and 1t is doubtful,
in the light Of recent developements
if the hosting of Old Glory will be the
enthusiastic success it was expected
to be.
President Dole and his cabinet are
blamed for throwing cold water on
the order but it is only fair to- state
that they place the responsibility with
Minister Sewall.
The town is full of rumors as TO
what will happen after the flag is
raised. 1t has been stated in a positive
manner that United States Minister
Sewall would be proclaimed acting
governor and President Dole would
step down and out. On the contrary,
President Dole will in all probability
remain at the head of affairs as chief
executive until Congress provides for
his successor.

OFFICIAL VIEWS
Of the Terms Upon Which Manila Ras
Been Surrendered to the American
Army.

WASHINGTON, August 2O.-There is
considerable difference of opinion as to
the exact significance Of the terms of
capitulation OF Manila, received from Mer-
ritt, but the best opinion obtainable to-
night construed the language to embrace
all Spanish possessions in the Philippines
and not Manila alone.
While the preamble specifically states
the functions of the commission Ito deter
mine the details of the cap1tulation of
the city and defenses Of Manila and its
suburbs and the Spanish forces stationed
therein" it is pointed out that the word
Suburbs is an elastic one. The lam
guage of article l stating that the Span
ish troops, both European and native.
capitulate with the city and defenses,
goes to emphasize this construction. This
is the view expressed by war officials and
considered in this light goes to confirm
the press dispatches stating that the ca
pitulation involves the whole Philippines.
One unusual provision is embraced III the
reference to the return of surrendered
arms, the article providing Tor the return
when the Spanish evacuate, or the
American army evacuates." This, how
ever is a formal expression, and Secre-
tary Alger tonight showed that there
need be no alarm on that score by this
statement: There is no thought of the
Americans evacuating." All the unset
