Gov. Gen. August Resigns His Post
and Is Now on His Way TO spain
Gen. BIanco Has rendered
His Resignation.

Madrid. Aug. 16.-Aecording to La
Correspondence de Espana, the sur
render of Manila occurred after the
last attacks made upon the city.
Washington, Aug. 16.-Ihe depart
ment of state has just issued the fol
lowing:
THE following dispatch was received at
the department of state at lll5 p. m Au-
gust Is from Consul Wildman, Hong Kong:
August says Dewey bombarded Manila
Saturday. City surrendered unconditional
ly. August was taken by Germans IN
launch to Kaiserin Augustin and brought
to Hong Kong. l credit report.
Action Has Been Expected.
The information contained in Consul
Wildman's brief message aroused in
tense interest, but created no surprise
among those officials who received IT..
For two or three days news of the fall
of Manila has been expected. The last
dispatches received from Admiral
Dewey and Gen. Merritt indicated that
it was their purpose to force surren-
der of the city as soon as possible. 1t
is believed that they joined in note
to Gen. August demanding the sur
render of Manila, threatening to make
a combined sea and land attack upon
the city unless the demand was ac-
ceded to. While no further informa-
ton than that received in Consul Wild
mans dispatch has been received by
the administration, it is in a measure
confirmed by a brief dispatch from
Madrid.
August Fled Too Soon.
If the report of Gen. August be true,
and its accuracy is not questioned
here, the probabilities are that official
dispatches will be received by the gov
eminent in day or two, at latest. The
fight of Gen. August from Manila
created some amused comment here.
AS one official expressed it: Had he
maintained his position, hard as it was,
until the arrival of the news of peace,
he would have been hero; but he fled,
and he will be branded as coward"

precise facts are not known, but it is
supposed that Gen. August fled from
the Philippines.

The reason given by Gen. Blanco for

COURT OF INQUIRY.
Denial That Final Report Has Been
Sent to Washington.

Key West, March 20.-The court of
inquiry, according to Rear Admiral ST.
card, will continue its work here
through the week, as it is not ready to
make a report on the Maine disaster.
The statement that Captain Albert S.
Barker carried the report to Washing
ton is officially denied. The object of
his flying visit to Key West was not
ascertained until today.
1t can be authoritatively stated that
Captain Barker had nothing to do with
the court Of inquiry. He came here on
Friday from Tampa, on special mis-
sion to investigate the harbor defenseS,
following out some lines suggested by
General Wilson, chief of engineers, in
his recent inspection of land fortifica-
tons Captain Barkers plan, when he
left here last night, was to confer with
Commander McCalla of the Marblehead,
probably remain there day or two.

whether any synopsis Of the findings of

that this has been done, but no Of

the final report has been sent to Wash

Washington. March pa special to
the Post from Newport News says:
The Merritt wrecking tug Under
writer arrived in port at midnight last
night from Havana, where she went
with the derrick Chief. which is assist
ing in the work on the Maine. Captain
Wiley will again start to Havana,
probably tomorrow night, with the
wreckers.
Captain Wiley believes that the
Maine was destroyed through the
agency of an internal explosion. In
an interview aboard the Underwater
this afternoon, Captain Wiley said:
You ask me what l know about the
cause of the disaster / reply that 1
to actual facts. 1 do not believe there
is anybody who knows just how the
unfortunate affair happened.
When l reached Havana, L con-
versed with Captain Sharp (Merritt's
eXperD in charge of the wreck, but
could not learn anything from him
about the result of his personal in
vestigation. While at Havana
heard no opinions as to the cause and
it seemed to me as if the affair was
a nine days wonder blown over.
THE arrival of the Chief will facili-
tate the work of clearing away the
wreck, as she lifts 40 tons. The guns,
shells, power cases and scraps are be-
ing placed aboard lighters. The Lone
Star will return with this material to
Norfolk if she does not carry it beyond
Moro Castle and dump it into the sea.
1t is all worthless.
without having had opportunity to
examine the wreck below water line, 1
would say that the Maine was blown
up by an internal explosion. 1t is
the most confused pile of distorted
above water which is turned COM
pletely over by the explosion. The
deck is bottomside up. with the deck
frame on top. That looks to me as if
the destructive force came from with
in. If a. mine did the work and played
so much havoc with the upper decks,
where must the bottom be? Can she
have any? Yet, they say they have
found some of the bottom intact. My
opinion IS that if the affair had oc
Cured in an English harbor, say
Kingston, Jamaica, there would not
be ore man in a hundred who would
say external causes after looking at
that wreck as it is today. l heard
that the Spanish divers found a piece

a mine in the harbor would have
broken the turret, while an internal

FL PasO, Tex, March 20-The notorious
Black Jack gang of outlaws. which. for
years. has defied the United States and
local authorities of the southwest. has
at last baen wiped out, and its career of
crime brought to a close. 1t remained
for members of the Mormon colony near
Casas Grandes. Mexico, TO seek out the
rendezvous of the band in the almost in
accessible Sierra Marde mountains. and
TO carry death TO its members. The news
was brought from Casas Grandes today.
Feb. %. Mrs. A. +. Mcdonald, d member
of the Mormon colony at Round Valley,
70 miles east of Casas Grandes. was muir
dered by two members of the gang and
her store looted. Several of the Mormon
colOnists started out to hunt down the
murderers and they did their work well.
Sunday, March II. they discovered the
gang at a point in the mountains 90 miles
from Round Valley. and at daylight had
the camp closely surrounded As soon as
the camp began to stir. the firing began.
and in a short time not one of the gang
remained alive a party of American
prOspectOrs came upon the camp the next
day and found nine bodies stir in death,
and afterward learned from the MOrmons
the manner of their slaughter.
The Black Jack gang of train robbers
was the most desperate and successful
that ever operated in the southwest.
Among their crimes are the lOOting of the
town of SolOmOnville, Ariz-, and the muir
der of the postmaster there, the holding
up of trains on the Santa Fe, Southern
Pacific at Rio Puerco, N NJ, and at
Grant Station. \. NJ. At the latter point
trains were held up at two different times.
The most recent being five months ago.
when it was reported that the robbers
secured $30.O0O.
The United States authorities have made
two expeditions into Mexico in pursuit
of the band. but were never able TO To-
cate their hiding place.
The Mrs Mcdonald mentioned in the
above dispatch formerly resided at St.
George, and had many friends in this
state. The account of her murder was
recently published by The Herald.
