MADRID, June 29.-The government
has received a dispatch from Captain
General August, dated from Manila ON
June %, in which he says in part:
"The situation is still as grave. l
continue to maintain my position inside
the line of hlockhouses, but the enemy
is increasing in numbers, as the rebels
occupy the provinces which are sur
rendering, Torrential rains are inun.
dating the intrenchments, rendering
the work of defence difficult. The
numbers of sick among the troops are
increasing and makes the situation very
distressing and causing increased deser-
tions of the native soldiers.
"lt is estimated that the insurgents
number about 10000 armed with rifles
and about 100000 armed with swords,
etc.
"Aguinaldo has summoned me to sur.
render, but l have treated his proposals
with disdain, for | am resolved to main
tain the sovereignty of Spain and the
honor Of the flag to the last extremity.
'l have over 1000 sick and 200
wounded.
1.-THE citadel has been invaded by the
suburban inhabitants, who have aban-
doned their homes owing to the bar
barity of the rebels. These inhabitants
constitute an embarrassment, aggravat.
ing the situation, i'll view Of the bonn.
bardment, which, however, is not
seriously apprehended for the moment"
Captain General Augustus family is
still in the hands of the insurgents.
General Pena, with 1000 soldiers, has
surrendered. His soldiers, most of
whom are natives, joined the insur-
gents. A majority of the detaohments
in the island Of Luzon have surrendered,
owing to their lack of food, though
some succeeded in escaping.
Numerous Spaniards, including the
governors of Batanga, Laguna and Bull
acan, have taken refuge at Cavite.

Congress to decide how these metals
shall be coined and the regulation Of the
ratio thereof" This is skilfull though
evasive. But the notable resolution was
one endorsing Speaker Reed for his op'
position to Hawaiian annexation:
Resolu ion, That we heartily com
mend and approve the course of the
present representative of this district in
Congress in his determined and consis.
tent oppos ton to the efforts of the
present Republican administrations
policy of imperialism as dem onstrated
in the annexation of the Hawaiian ISL
ands.
Speaker Reed, the Republican leader
of the House, and Mr.. Bailey, the Demo-
cratic leader, both voted the same way
on this question, and the Democrats of
the Portland district had good authority
back of them for their common sense
declaration.

TERRITORIAL EXPANSION.

Havana is the stronghold of Spanish
power in Cuba, not Santiago. Havana
is not 80 miles from Key West, while
Santiago is about 500. But then we are
not commanding in this war, and our
sort of common sense would not apply.
Territorial expansion is much dis
cussed these days in some journals. In
considering the acquisition Of distant ter
ritory it should be remembered that it
means large standing army Of 100000
men or so. Keeping up such force at
distant stations means great expendi.
ture of money and additions to our mil.
lion of pensioners. A large standing
army is ever a danger, When Charles
II got back to England as king in 1860,
after Cromwe,ps death, he had to
promise to have no standing army. The
English nobility had had taste of it
under the great Cromwell and they
wanted no more oft. History is full OF
lessons.
Territorial expansion also means a
large and costly navy; and navy is en-.
ormously costly. Extensive and ex-
pensive Notifications would also be re-
quired in order to protect the harbors of
the islands. All this means money and
taxes. 1t would also mean foreign
implications, and an abandonment Of
the Monroe doctrine. Indeed such a
change in our condition would change
our whole system. We would no longer
be under "a plain and simple govern
ment" but one of imperial character,
1t could not be otherwise. Common
sense should send adrift this imperia
dream.

DIR. wilberforce and Family

Sierra Leone, West Africa, by DR.. ID.
X. Flickinger, secretary of the United
Brethren Missionary society here, stat
ing that d. +. Wilberforce, wife and
four children are now safe at Banthe,
ON the west coast of Africa.
In the reports Wilberforce and family
were included in the list of killed dur
ing the recent massacres, but owing to
the prominence of Wilberforce not only
as superintendent of missions, but also
as arbitrator of the tribes, he and his
family were held for ransom and the
missionary society has paid ELS for
them. Wilberforce was brought to
America when lad by DR.. Flickinger
and educated for missionary work. He
had brother who was a chief among
the natives.

THE BPWORTH LEAGUE.
triUtlc Resolutions - Took
Trip to Moundsviile.

WHEELING, June 29.-The fourth day
Of the Epworth League convention of
the Fourth General Conference district,
which was yesterday, included side
trip to Moundsville and It's camp
grounds. On public matters, the reso-
lutions adopted state:
Resolved, That while we deplore the
causes which have led up to the war in
which we as nation are now engaged,
we believe it is warranted and justified
in the interest of liberty and humanity.
That we see in it the hand of God, and
believe that it should be prosecuted
until the last vestige of Spanish cruel
ties and oppression is crushed out of
Cuba, Porto Rico and the other islands
of the sea, and TO this end we pledge to
our country our loyalty, our service,
and, if need be, our lives, that the Stars
and Stripes, the flag of the free, may
wave in triumph over every island of
the seas now enslaved by Spanish mis-.
rule and oppression.
"Resolyed, That in Admiral Dewey,
Lieutenant Hobson and their men we
recognize a courage and bravery which
place them side by side with the heroes
of the earth and call for our strongest
words of commendation.
Resolved, That in the midst of the
trials and anxieties that come to us as a
nation, involved in war, we rejoice in
the fact that we have at the helm of
the ship of state man of great strength
of character and religious integrity. A
man with wise head, cool brain and
a warm heart, and one who commands
our highest regard and our unlimited
confidence, and to him, William Nc
kinley, protus and commander-in.c chief
of our army, we pledge our faith, our
confidence, our service aud our lives in
defense of our country and our sacred
honor -

NO BARBARISM.

Those horrors that attend even hu-
namely conducted war are themselves so
appalling that it is gratifying TO know
that horrors will not be heaped on hor-
rors' head with the present conflict
with Spain. Conducting the war for
humanity's sake, as we allege, its hon
orable character on our part is matter
of course.
We were much too ready to ascribe
barbarity to our foe and none too read y
to withdraw our accusation when we
Hnd ourselves in the wrong. The treat
ment of the brave HobsOn by Cervera
was positively chiValrous. His friends
were instantly assured of his safety by
the foe into whose hands he had fallen,
by the President at Washington con-
yeyed through our commander an in.
sulting message that if Hobson were not
properly treated then woe to Cervera.
We call on the British consul at San
tiago for the information already accord
ed by the Spanish admiral and learn
| that "Hobson is in a spacious front
room on the ground floor of the bar
racks, in which is a large window look
ing on the road. The food supplied him
| Is good and not limited to regulation
ratioDs."
When certain marines we're killed after
landing on the coast Of Cuba, Sampson,
without making inquiries, adopted as a
fact the rumor that their bodies had
been mutilated. Nothing OF the kind
| happened. We now find Sampson
grudgingly Withdrawing his allegation ol
barbarity,
The human family is pretty much the
same the world over. In the prompt
ings of his heart the Spaniard does moi
differ materially from any other OF Goi'l
creatures. = Chicago Chronicle.

CHARLEY BECK GETS HIS PRIZE.

Charles +. Beck, who for years past
has been putting sugar in theirn," on
Friday last had some "sugar put in
hisn." He has been appointed by the
administration asa field deputy revenue
collector, at a salary of$l 800 a year and
S4OO travelling expenses. He is well
qualified for the position having been a
retail dealer in liquors and cigars and
run saloons for years in Carrollton and
Magnolia. He was plain, ordinary
common saloon keeper, although Judge
rripp constantly referred to his place as
a "hell hole" and insisted that he dealt
out "liquid damnation." That was
when Charlie was supposed to be Dem
ocrat. The Republican politicians and
Office holders around Carrollton freely
endorsed him, thinking he had no show
of appointment, but Beck is nobody's
fool and now that he has landed them
all as suckers they profess that while
they are ashamed OF Beck he will be use
full TO them because they allege he car.
ries the saloon vote and whisky vote in
his vest pocket and can deliver it to
them at nominations and elections.
Some of the more Cody Republicans
turn up their noses at Reck, but they
needn't-he is a good average Carroll
county Republican. He may yet be r
congressman-a representative of
morality, virtue and temperance. Who
knows? One thing is in his favor--he
keeps sober while the other fellows
spend their money and do the drinking.

AN ANGRY RECRUIT.
Threw a Gun and His Blouse and Cap
Away-Put In the Guardhouse.


ALLIANCE, o., June 29.-During yes
terday mornings drill of Company +,
Eighteenth Pennsylvania, one Of the
new recruits developed an ugly streak
and refused to go through the manual
Of arms because he did not have rife.
The sergeant, to humor the man, got q
rifle from one Of the older men and
handed it to him.
The fellow threw the gun on the
ground, tore off his blouse and cap and
flung them at the rifle. In minute he
was under arrest and marched to the
guardhouse. He has been guilty of
gross insubordination before, and the
guard who was stationed at the door of
the guardhouse will shoot him if he
tries to run away.
Sixteen privates have been ordered to
report for examination. Six of these

Choice of Ten Popular Resorts.
A Delightful Midsummsp Outing by the
Sea.

A Delightful Midsummep Outing by the
Sea.
One Of the ideal vacation trips is q
visit to the seashore. Persons who may
have participated in that enjoyme mt
are annually anxious to repeat the ex-
perience. To those who may not have
been that fortunate, a dip in the ocean,
g. stroll along the sandy beach, and the
myriads of pleasures at the disposal of
the summer idler by the sea, have a
peculiar charm. The largely patronized
general excursions inaugurated last
season by the Pennsylvania Lines from
principal points in Ohio and Indiana
brought out that fact. The announce
ment that the Pennsylvania System
will This sum mer again run special low
rate excursions to the sea shore will no
doubt be welcome information to per.
sons who may wish to spend highly en-.
joyable vacations along the ocean.
Wednesday, August 10th, has been
fixed as the date for this seasons gen
eral excursions to the seashore over the
Pennsylvania Lines. On that date
round trip tickets to ten Of the most
popular summer havens along the At
lantic coast will be sold. The rate will
be 1880 from Canton. Passengers
may visit either Atlantic City, Cape
May, Auglesea, Avalon, Holly Beach,
Ocean City, Sea Isle City, wildwood,
New Jersey, Rehoboth, Del, or Ocean
City, Md,
Excursion tickets will be good return
ing eleven days including date of sale.
Train arrangements will enable excur-
sionists to go through without any dis
comfort. Sleeping cars running through
Philadelphia to Atlantic City without
change via Delaware River Bridge Route
will be included in the through car ar
rangements for these excursions which
will offer exceptional facilities for a de-
lightful midsummer outing by the sea.
The date on which they viii be run is
perhaps the dullest season of the year,
when alb ,ence from home and business
cares will be convenient.
