A MANILA LETTER
FROM JOHN KNIGHT, THE HER.
AIDS CORRESPONDENT

TROOPS

Spaniards Encouraged by False Hopes

Especial Correspondence to The Herald
MANILA. July /. via Hongkong, July b.
The first division of the expedition under
Gen. Anderson, consisting of the Australia
by the Charleston. reached here at o'clock
yesterday afternoon and cast anchor in
at the northeast point Of Luzon island by
the Baltimore of Admiral Deweys fleet,
which thence acted as an additional con-
voy to Manila.
Manila is completely bockaded. Dewey
is completely master of the situa-
ton, but has hailed the arrival
of the first installment of troops
with evident satisfaction. There are
10000 Spanish soldiers in the city. and
these are held in from the front by our
fleet and kept in check in the rear by the
insurgents. The Spaniards have thus far
proved themselves very poor fighters in all
their encounters with the insurgents. The
day before yesterday a Spanish colonel
made a sally with 1000 soldiers and was
driven back by 600 insurgents. The wife
of Governor General August was captured
a few days ago by the insurgents and is
row held by them prisoner. The insur-
pents are armed with Mauser rifles
There are six German men-of-war here
and their attitude toward the Americans
has been decidedly obnoxious. They have
shown their friendship for the Spaniards
on every occasion. 1t is reported that they
have visited the Spanish officers and given
them advice as to the movements of our
troops. On the other hand, the attitude
of the English toward us is decidedly
friendly. y 4 no ed
A few days ago the report was brought
here that Spain was sending a fleet through
the Suez canal. This news has instilled
fresh courage to the beleagured Spaniards
in Manila and they have shown renewed
energy 10th In drilling and improving their
Notifications. They now have a good
many heavy guns mounted and are better
prepared to resist attack than they were
few weeks ago. The poor in Manila have
already been reduced to dreadful straits.

a Narrow Escape.

The presence of mind and the quick
action of Mr.. Charles f. White, of
Hutton, at the station here yesterday
morning, prevented horrible acct
dent by which a bride of q week
would have lost her life. Mrs. Rich
ard Cornell came down to Oakland
from Corinth on the east bound
accommodation train and as she was
crossing the track at the rear of the
train the west bound accommodation
pulled in at lively rate which Mrs.
Cornell failed to see until it was
nearly upon her. Directly behind
her was Mr. White who perceived
her danger and in an instant grabbed
the endangered lady and pulled her
from the track just as the train
whizzed by. Mrs. Connell was over
come when she realized how narrow
her escape had been.

have had 1926 bushels which we think
will be worth $1.00 to those who have
the nerve to hold it. He would still
be short 1910 as compared with the
corn and potatoes. 1t will be seen
that our selling price on corn and po-
tatoes is less than the prevailing mar

considerably greater. So you see
there is money in other crops beside

Our little boy was afflicted with
rheumatism in his knee; and at times
unable to put his knee to the floor.
We tried in vain, everything we could
hear of that we thought would help
him. We almost gave up in despair,
when some one advised us to try
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. We did
so, and the first bottle gave so much
relief that we got a second one, and,
to our surprise, it cured him sound
and well.-J. Y. BAYS, Pastor Chris

The earnest clergyman, who de-
votes his time to the saving of souls
and to the dispensing of spiritual
comfort, is not expected to have any
very extensive knowledge of the
slang phrases of the day. So, when
certain local minister was so
attracted by the stunning appearance
of two young women as to turn
around and look after them as they
passed him on the street, he was de
cidedly mystified and astounded to
hear one of the young women cry

passed on in deep thought. Now, the

turned about quite naturally, but
saw no one. He heard a shrill voice
cry: Rubber. Rubber Then the
parrot laughed loud and long The
clergyman was decidedly worried.
He hunted up an acquaintance with
q knowledge Of worldly lore, and ex-
planned what had happened After
the interview he iotted down this
entry in his notebook: "Rubber-neck

Three Doctors in Consultation.
From BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

When you are SICK what you like best is
to be chosen for medicine in the first place;
what experience tells you is best,to be chosen
in the second place; what reason ii. e.. the
ory) says is best is to be chosen in the last
place. But if you can get DR.. Inclination,
DR.. Experience and DR.. Reason to hold a
consultation together, they will give you the
best advice that can be taken"
When you have bad cold DR.. In
clination would recommend Chamber
berlain's Cough Remedy because it
is pleasant and safe to take. DR.. EX-
perience would recommend it because
it never fails to effect speedy and
permanent cure DR.. Reason would
recommend it because it is prepared
on scientific principles, and acts on
natures plan in relieving the lungs,
opening the secretions and restoring
the system to natural and healthy

To the Editor Of The Republican.
A few days since the last of our
Fresh Air children returned to Balti
more. Thirty were entertained mos t
kindly and generously, supplied with
good clothing and returned to their
homes in health and happiness. Some
remained only the stipulated two
weeks, others were kept four, six and
eight weeks, especially the delicate
the most needy and motherless.
Some here asked me for informa-
ton regarding this noble work carried
on by the charitable people of Balti-
more; also there is some misunder
standing and prejudice. Two years
ago my sympathies were warmly en-
listed in this charity, and | volun-
teered, for Sweet Charity's Sake
alone, considering it a duty and priv
lege to secure homes in this healthy
region for the children of the poor
from the hot overcrowded tenement
houses of the city.
Every new departure meets with
more or less opposition, prejudice and
misunderstanding. Tact, hard work
and patience were required. Per
sonal interviews and numerous letters
to be written, attention called to the
work in various papers, etc, and at

The first summer we entertained
eighteen, the past summer thirty, and
next year Cd. W we trust one hun
dred homes may be opened.
Two have been adopted in good
homes and others would have been
had the parents consented.
1t was a matter of note how well
behaved, neat and obedient these
little waits were. Many showed the
lack of nutritious diet. Two little
sisters came to us whose mother, Il
widow, works for twenty cents a day
and supports herself and children.
After returning to the city the
children, or their parents, write most
grateful and appreciative letters to
their entertainers.
The workers in the Fresh Air So
siety of Baltimore merit high praise
for their zeal and unseltishness in
behalf of suffering humanity, and
the Social Settlement" at Locust
Point is a great factor in selecting
and sending out the needy.
