9-The scarcity OF food now effects
even the richest classes in Manila.
There is no meat. bread or -four ex-
cept very small reserves. chiefly laid
under requisition for the Spanish
troops. The newspapers, though rigid
ly censored. admit the famine and un-
precedented rains are causin~ an cpl
demic. They pretend that the disor-
ders are trivial intestinal ailments. but
IL is believed most of them are dysen-
terry, due to wretched food and the dan
gerous character OF the water. A num-
Der OF important persons are Ill. An
abattoir has been established for
slaughtering horses and dogs.
The newspapers admit that the mill
tary bakers are reduced to the necess-
ity of using rye. the stock OF which
will shortly be exhausted. The stock
OF fuel too. is nearly exhausted. and
the bakers are burning doors and win
dow frames. IL is impossible to eat un-
cooked rye.
A decree has been issued authorizing
the entry of private premises and the
seizure of cattle and horses there for
nominal payment made in worthless
drafts. Several animals belonging 20
British owners have been taken.
though there are plenty belonging 10
Spanish owners that had not been
seized. An attempt was made to seize
the indispensable pony of the consular
physician and considerable Indignation
has been expressed. There may possl-
bly, be more trouble over it.

DEAD AGAIN SAYS HANNA
REPUBLICAN PARTY TO MAKE ITS
WAR RECORD A CAMPAIGN ISSUE.
The President, He says, Has Been Correct
in All His Moves aud the Gold Party
Is All Right All Through.

Minneapolis, Aug. "A Journal spe-
cial from Duluth, Mimi, says: Senator
Hanna and' II. II. Kohlsaat left here
this afternoon for the Yellowstone park
Mr. Hanna, when interviewed, said he
believed the silver issue absolutely dead
and all hope Of an international agree
ment on bimetallism futile, at least for
the present. He believed the several
straight gold platforms adopted by
state conventions were in direct line
with republican ideas as TO the main
tenance of money as good as that of
any nation in the world. He said the
republican party would make its next
campaign on issues brought up by the
war, and, on its record in the war. and
that the presidents course had given
the party an absolute continuance of its
control OF political affairs, the presi-
dent having been correct i'm all his
moves. He expects, however, that the
silver issue would be compelled to do
duty as the main question by the oppo-
nents of the republican party, and that
therein lay their weakness.

Miles plan is TO have the troops march
on San Juan from four different direc-

troops of cavalry, expects to follow Gen
eral Henry i'm a day or two. II peace is
promptly declared General Miles will be
the first To enter San Juan, going by
the railroad from Arrabo to the Porto

is in the harbor of Ponce. and Captain
Rogers of the Puritan, who is in COM
mand. expects orders at any time to
proceed to San Juan de Porto Rico.

the American government Will not
