News Of Fall of Manila Received in
Madrid With Apathy.

New York, Aug. ia cable to the
Herald from Madrid says:
AT the conclusion Of the cabinet
council today Admiral Cervera was in
structed to take the first ship home,
Independent of nationality.
The news of the ~capitulatiOn OF Ma
Mia has been received here, just like
the other reverses. with frigid apathy.
It would seem as if the people of Spain,
instead of being, as the agitators have
striven 10 present them. a volcano
like a worn out crater. Premier Sa-
gasta, with the acumen which no ether
man in this country possesses. has I'M
dertaken to conclude peace as the final
grand work Of a life spent in the SER
vice CT his country and which, to his
credit. leaves him a poor man today.
Even as regards his very house. the
rent is being paid by political admirers.
He stands cut at all risk to stop the
meeting of the cortes in order that
peace may be more easily made. l

members of the International commit
zee. 1t is likely to change. and. ac-
coIding to latest rumors, Senior Moret
is likely to be appointed president.
Duke A.madovara said there is no op-

These orders are supplementary to
those issued Immediately after the de-

legged to be a dangerous Interference
with commerce. The original orders
merely contemplated the temporary re-
moval of the mines, without interfer-
ing with the cable connections and
electrical working apparatus On shore,
the idea being to leave them in such
condition that they could be speedily
restored in case of an emergency. Now,
however, that there is no longer any
prospect Of a renewal of hostilities with
Srain or any trouble with any other
nation, the war department has deem,
ed it safe and eXpedient to remove en-
tirely all the submarine d~efenses of the
coast lines Of the United States.

ALL. "a o11Er AT HAVANA.

Havana, Aug. 16.-The city remains
entirely tranquil. Everybody has re-
sumed his ordinary duties and all are
thinking only how to ecover some
firing OF what has been lost.
Conservative natives, and particular
ly Spanish residents, realize the ex-
pediency and necessity Of such steps
as will save the social interest Of the
island, avoid future instructions and
prevent a complete humiliation Of the
wealth partly saved from revolution
and war. There is no agitation. The
report that an attempt was made to
shoot the British consul is entirely
without foundation.

Yet John Grubb Never Knew One
Days sickness.
Birmingham (Eng) Letter.

Birmingham (Eng) Letter.
The municipal authorities have resolved to
pension man who has spent nearly half
century in building and exploring the sewers
of Birmingham. His life conradicts the
proverbial unhealthiness Of sewer gas and
lack of sunlight The name of this impor-
tant official is John Grubb, and he has trav-
ersed from six to seven miles of sewers each
day and he computes that his total tramp
during the fifty years of his labOrs has eX
ceeded 10000 miles. Grub boasts that he
has not known a day of sickness throughout
his Subterranean career, though during the
first decade of his Office there was hardly
a single Well-constructed sewer in the city,
and he was daily in danger of being at
tackled by armies of rats and was compelled
to inhale the foulest odors. During the last
half Of his career he has constructed four
teen miles of sewers on the most approved
modern style He has survived all of his
employees, some Of them not being able to
stand the work more than a few years.
orous health augurs that he will live twenty
tirement may prove detrimental to his
health The greatest peril he has been ex-
posed to occurred some twenty years ago
on the occasion of the Queens visit TO Bir-
mingham. He was overtaken by storm
water terrific rainstorm had broken over
the city, and the water was rushing into
the sewers in torrents. 1t was thrilling
race for life, as he and his workmen had to
fight big regiments of rats with their
shovels, soaring them by bowls and yells,
as they made their way, submerged to their
shoulders to a distant manhole, which they
knew could be opened.

THE QUAYS ON TRIAL.
Demurrers to Four Indictments, ard
Court Asked to Quash the Fifth.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Nov. &.-The
case of Senator Quay and others, charged
with conspiracy in the misuse of the money
Of the State on deposit in the Peoples
Bank, came up to-day in the Court of
Quarter Sessions, Judge Finletter presiding
The defendants were not in court, their in
terests being looked after by Attorneys
Rufus E. Shapley and A. 8. L. Shields
Immediately on the opening of court At
torney Shapley filed demurrers to four of
the five dctments found against the de-
PENDANTS by the grand jury and also filed
a motion to quash the fifth indictment.
Argument on these demurrers was proceed
ed with by Mr.. Shapley. In general way
the objections to the indictments were based
on contentious Of insufficient specifications,
complete failure to charge any unlawful
act and an absence Of allegation that the
either from the bank or from any other
source. If the defendants, as the indict-
ments charge, purchased bonds and stocks
through Cashier Hopkins, as agent, Mr..
Shapley claimed that no unlawful act had
been committed. He claimed that banks
every day acted as purchasers for their de-
poSitors or customers. Regarding the alle-
cations respecting the use of state moneys,
he argued that all moneys deposited in a
bank go into the general fund of the bank,
and that therefore the indictments are de-
fective in charging misuse of State funds
obtained from the Peoples Bank; where
as, II any money was obtained from the
and not State funds. Furthermore, these
State funds were deposited in the banks by
various State treasurers in full authority
of law.
On conclusion of the arguments of Messrs.
Shapley and Shields, and the reply of Dis
trict Attorney Graham the court took the
papers under Amusement. He did not IN
innate when he would announce his deci-
sion on the motions presented.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Dr. A. c. True.
director of the office OF experiment sta
tons, in his annual report to the secretary
of agriculture, says that the agricultural
experiment stations are, as q rule, working
more thoroughly and efficiently for the ben
eft of American agriculture than ever be-
fore. The appropriation of $4,000 by Con-
gross for the support of the stations was
supplemented by over 100000 state funds.
While the number and Importance of in
Stitutions organized for scientific researches
in behalf of agriculture are constantly in
creasing in all parts of the world nowhere
has so comprehensive and efficient a sys-
tenn of experiment stations been established
as in the United States. He urges the en-
ployment of trained experts and original
researches by them as essential to develop
ment of still greater efficiency
