The Germans Attitude

The Hong Kong correspondent of the
London Times, issued this morning, COM
menting upon the reticence Of the officers
and crew Of the kaiserin Augusta, says:
The curious attitude of the Germans has
provoked a deal of feeling here, and some
suspicion as to the real object of their Sc
cretiveness. The practice hitherto has been
for cruisers leaving Manila, of whatever
nationality, to bring the mails of every ma
tionahty represented at Manila The
Kaiser1n Augusta brought only German
mail.
mo consistent story of the fight has ar
rived, but 1t appears that on Saturday
morning the Spaniards refused to surren-
der. At 10 o'clock Admiral Dewey took the
squadron over from Cavite to the front of
the city. At the same time the American
troops advanced to attack the Spanish
trenches at Malate A fierce struggle en-
sued, lasting over two hours. The ships
reduced the forts, while the troops carried
the trenches and forced the Spaniards back
into the walled city, where the Spaniards
surrendered.
Governor General August and his fami-
ly, by Encouragement, We're taken on
board the German cruiser, which steamed
at a speed of seventeen knots to Hong
Kong. 1t is supposed that the land forces
on both sides suffered heavily.
IAN American cruiser, with dispatches, is
expected tomorrow"

Madrid is COnSOIed.

Madrid advices, dated yesterday, are to
the effect:
The government does not think the United
States will try to make capital out of the
fall of Manila, but the papers express much
anxiety regarding that point. The Span
iards are pleased with the fact that Ad-
miral Dewey excluded the insurgents from
Manila and are hopeful that the friction
thus still indicated will weigh with the
United States In the settlement of the Phil
ippine problem
1t is now known, from semi official
sources, that the government knew yester-
day that Manila capitulated on Saturday
after General Jaudemes had taken over the
command from General August and the
latter had been authorized to quit his post
and to embark on a foreign warship for
Hong Kong.
Manila apparently capitulated because of
lack of food, the population and garrison
having suffered the greatest privations.

Absorbing Germs With Milk.
puo tho ST Inuis GIaba-n Dom serat

From the st. Louis Globe-DemJcrat.
A Transvaal doctor is credited with the
discovery Of new curative treatment. He
asserts that he can cure persons of small
pox. fevers. diphtheria, and many other
maladies by simply wrapping them in milk
sheets. The patient is laid on a mattress
covered with blankets, and is packed in a
sheet just large enough to enveIop the
body. The sheet has been saturated in a
pint and a half of warm milk, and is ap-
piled to the body without wringtng. After
lying still for an hour thus swathed, the
patient is sponged with warm water, or put
into a warm bath for few moments to re-
move the milk. The treatment is based on
the germ-absorbing power of milk, and the
idea of 1T is said to have been suggested by
the fact that milk absorbs poisonous germs
from bucket in which it has been stand

INDETERMINArE SENTENCES.

a Reasonable Distinction Between Chronic
and ReformabIe Criminals.
In a vast majority of cases the GRIM
mai who has received more than one
sentence is beyond the possibility Of
reform. 1t is probable that nearly all
criminals are incurable, at least un-
der the methods of the ordinary peni-
tentfary, says Leslies Weekly. What
the system employed at the Eimira
prison may do it will require longer
time to determine. In any event, the
principle of indeterminate sentences,
III applied under the direction of q body
OF enlightened and competent men.
would work no hardship along with
such measure of prison reform as the
conditions warrant. If a man is DOOM
ed to continued Imprisonment. as the
chronic insane are, it is his own fault
or the fault of his Inheritance. Those
who have the disposition and the pow
or to reform can open their own doors
TO freedom. The instances are many
where confirmed criminal has been
released at the expiration of his term
only to commit murder. Nearly all
such criminals Immediately renew
their former associations and habits.
With the almost positive knowledge
that this will be the case, the court
that determines the sentence must be
conscious of affording only brief res
p1te to society from the murderous or
felonfous assaults of the convicted
criminals. 1t is doubtful IL halfway
measures of reform in this matter are
OF any value. AS long as the change
In the law means only the conditional
release OF exceptional convicts select
ed by the courts there is not likely to
be the same machinery for learning
the condition of the convicts that we
should have if all sentences were with
out term. The failure of conditional
release, or, If not its absolute failure,
Its ability to show any striking re-
Suits is calculated to lessen the
chances of the adoption of a complete
system based on a scientific study of
the subject. According to one paper
read during the exhibition the penal
code of Italy is intended to infiict rig
orous Imprisonment only on the incur
ably vicious. This is reasonable dis
tinction between chronic criminals and
those who may be regarded as reform
able and is a first step toward the per-
petual seclusion OF the incurables. The
idea should be less shocking in the
case of the criminal than in the case
OF the lunatic, unless we regard them
both as the unhappy victims of an in
heritance they cannot escape.
