four miles 10 - walled city, form

and it was impossible, the Spaniards
say, 10 hold 50 long a line against the
American attack.
Admiral Dewey and General Merritt,
it is reported, had issued orders to spare
all except armed defenses of the city,
and consequently the town is under
stood to have been but little damaged.
Some street fighting between the in
surgents and the Spaniards occurred on
the outskirts, but order prevailed within
the walled section.
The American version of the battle
is not yet obtainable. General Augu sti,
former captain general of the Philip
pines, expected to start for Madrid to-
day by the German mail steamer.

n. B. Scott, Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, has made three sig
nificant and most suggestive state
ments.
That the revenue from the war
taxes now approximates 81, 100000
a day
2-That the war taxes may be
modified as to certain articles after
peace is declared, but in the main
the law will stand.
3--That tariff revenues will be in
cidental hereafter and the great bulk
of our revenues will be raised from
internal taxes.
The failure of the Dingley law has
made it clear even to Mr.. Dingley
that customs duties can no longer be
relied upon, that the high tariff sys-
tenn has reached the point of dimin-
ishing returns and will year by year
demonstrate more patiently that it
has small excuse, as a system, for
existence for revenue purposes, and
is chiefly useful to combines and
trusts. ''The foreigner pays tariff
taxes" will never again be heard to
excite the ignorant to cheers and the
sensible to derision.
Just when the iniquities of the
protection system seemed most firm
ly intrenched, just when the rings
that compel those injustices in pay
ment for campaign contributions
seemed most powerful, revolution
was inaugurated by destiny, which
is more powerful than tariff rings,
and new and saner and juster and
less wasteful system of taxation was
forced from the very defenders of
tariffs for robbery only.
The people will not be slow to see
the logic OF the situation. II more
than $3OO,Ooo,000 a year can be
raised SO easily, SO cheaply and from
the classes best able to pay taxes,
why concoct elaborate scientific
schedules" that take at least $40 in
bonuses for class to every 81 for
the Treasury?-World.

BOYS TO GO HOME.
Orders Prepared to Muster Some of the
Volunteers Out of Service-Await-
ing word From Merritt.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Orders were
prepared yesterday for the mastering
out of about $4,000 volunt eers, lnclnd-
ing nearly 20 regiments of Infantry
and about eight troops of cavalry and
five or six batteries of artillery.
Unless there is decided change in
the present plans of the war depart
ment, about 100000 volunteers will be
mustered out within the next 80 days.
A formal announcement of the plans
OF the department on the subject are
being deferred pending the receipt of
certain desired information from Major
General Merritt commanding the mill
tary forces in the Philippines. Advices
are hourly expected from him as to his
wishes in the matter. There is large
number of volunteers in the Philip
pines and it Is possible that 1t may be
deemed advisable to bring them home
and if necessary to replace them with
regulars.
The proposed reduction of the army
to the extent of 100000 men will still
leave military force of about 10000
men, regulars and volunteers, available
for all military purposes. 1t is believed
to be the purpose OF the administration
to maintain an army of at least 100000
men until all the pending complications
with Spain are finally disposed of.
