injured. Mrs. Nuss sustained bruises about
one of her hips, and had a finger broken.
Mrs. Faust had a rib broken. received scalp

was when it loomed up before them. The

MANILA IS READY
TO SURRENDER
Special to EVENING HERALD.

Special to EvENiNG HERALD.
Hong Kong, Aug. 2.-There has been no
fighting at Manila for several days, the
suspension of hostilities between the Span
iards and insurgents being caused by heavy
tropical rains.
Admiral Dewey has received information
that the city of Manila will surrender when
called to do so. Gen. Merritt is not yet
ready to make the demand.
When the surrender is made the Americans
will probably embark on the city's water
front and take possession of the present
Spanish lines Trouble is feared from the
insurgent leader Aguinaldo, who has ordered
the natives to sell Americans no supplies for
horses.
The terms of surrender will probably in.
clude the transportation of Spanish prisoners
back to Spain.

markedly large.
Wheat ceased to fall and begins to
rise in prince because foreign needs
are not yet satisfied. Atlantic exports
for the past week were, flour included,
3,256,2o5 bushels against l,445.94I last
year and Pacific exports, 517, 1913 against
$3.50 last year, and the demand is not
of speculative character
The worlds need Of grain is greater
than ever, and 2l3. 81 ,5GI bushels of wheat
and 20l, 317 4S3 bushels Of corn have gone
abroad already, with a week TO spare far
more than was ever before exported in
one year. OF other grain exports have
been unusually large. The industries at
the season, when stoppJges are to he cX-
peCted. maintain production surprisingly.
There are very few Interruptions on ac-
count of labor. ana the wages scale for
the coming year have nearly All been
amicably settled. The iron industry Is
