QUIETING DOWN.
Americans in Manila Is Rapidly
Disappearing.

London, Aug. 24.-The Philippine
junta in this city received dispatch
from Manila announcing that matters
there are rapidly quieting down and
that the friction between Aguinaldo
and the Americans is disappearing.
According to the junta's advices the
insurgents for time regarded Gen.
Merritt and Gen. Anderson as Marti-
nets and feared they would adopt
harsh methods like the Spaniards to-
ward the Filipinos; but the insurgents
from the first have had the greatest
confidence in Admiral Dewey. whom
they regard as sort of father and the
most important American at Manila.
The junta is satisfied that all fric-
ton will soon disappear and that there
will be no trouble from the insurgents
If the Americans decide to retain tbs
Philippines.

withdrawn; the collection of the GUS

FOOD FOR cUBANs.
Plans for Feeding the Starving PEG.
Pic on the Island Considered by
the War Departments,

Washington, Aug. 24.-The war de-
partment is considering plans for fee ed.
ing the people in Cuba who may be
found In starving condition when the
Spanish troops evacuate. Very little
information is yet at hand regarding
the condition of the people, but from
what was known of them before hos.
Utilities began, and the fact that very
little opportunity has been afforded
them since to secure food, 1t is be-
lieved that thousands must be desti.
tute. The poor people known at the
beginning of the war as reconcentra-
DOS may have persisted, but the others
who were not part of the Spanish
army are believed by officials here to
be In precarious condition.

A YOUNG SOLDIER,
After Enlisting and RecnItsting, q
Kentucky Boy Is Finally
Accepted.

Ralph V. Phillips, of Newport, is in
all probability the youngest soldier
in Kentucky. He is son of DR.. I. T.
Phillips, well-known physician in
that city. He was born in Newport 10
years ago, and has lived in that city
ever since. He passed the second year
in the high school with good average,
and hopes to return in time to start
in the third year with his class.
When the Sixth infantry left for
Tampa, Fla, he tried to enlist, but was
rejected, owing to his youth. He en-
listed at the recruiting Office in New
port week ago, was examined and
accepted, but his parents objected, SO
his enlistment papers were destroyed.
He went. to Covington, enlisted, and
his parents again objected. He Plead
ed so hard with his parents that they
finally consented, and he reenlisted
with the Newport boys, and has left
with IA others for Chickamauga Park,
where he will be assigned to the Sec
ond regiment, Kentucky volunteers.
