COMRADES IN ARMS.
General Lee and general Wheeler
Hug nnd Kiss Each Other In
AIxer's Office.

anger O"ces
WASHINGTON. Aug IAN affecting
scene characterized the meeting to-day in
the office of Secretary Alger of Major Cen
erals Wheeler and Lee. They are old
friends and comrades in arms but they
had not met since the war began. Each
grasped the other by both hands and then
General Lee drew his friend to his heart
and they hugged and kissed each other re-
gardless of the fact that many other per-
sens We're present. Secretary Alger was
visibly affected.
General Wheeler has received orders to
assume command at Camp Wikoff until the
arrival Of General Shafter. General Wheel
er was told by the secretary Of war to pur-
chase everything that was necessary for
the comfort of the men. and to spare moth
ing that would alleviate the sick and
wounded. General Wheeler left tonight for
New York and thence to Montauk Point.
General Joseph Wheeler had a three-quar-
ters of an hour conference with the presi-
dent to-day. The president wanted to talk
over the conditions in Cuba with General
Wheeler and this was the object of tele-
graphic summons that brought the general
here.
The president put numerous questions to
the hero of the Santiago campaign and re-
ceived not only an account of his general
SAPSAACiiSS III tiidt ool oiSo mo
views on various issues incident to the ad-
justment of affairs on the islands. One
point that was uppermost was the possi-
bility of rupture with the Cuban insurg-
ents. General Wheeler's statements were
very reassuring.
"All the friction he said. between the
Americans and Cubans will soon pass
away, and there will be harmony and the
best of feeling between them"
He said there was a class Of men in
Cuba who had never been friendly to the
Cubans: but, on the contrary, had been
favorable to Spain. who likely would do
all they could to keep up this misunder-
standing. though he did not apprehend any
dangerous results.
General Wheeler suggested that the
charges against the insurgents of taking
articles in the field had extenuating cir
cumstances. and especially in view Of the
starving condition of many of them. Cen
eral Wheeler believed the Cubans. in time,
when freed from oppression and given a
stable and humane government. would be-
come law abiding and useful people.
The president is very solicitous about
the health of the Montauk Point camp and
gave explicit instructions verbally to Gen.
eral Wheeler as to the conduct of the
camp. He wanted everything possible and
reasonable done for the interests of the
men at the camp.

When Bread Has Too Much starch.

Professor W.. H.. Wiley says it is entirely
mistake to think that all sorts of bread
are unwholesome. The best ration is one
which. in scientific language. is well bal
anced: that is, one in which there is Il cer-
tain definite proportion existing between
the starch or sugar. the protein matter and
the fat. The bread made from wheat
flour contains these elements in well ball
anced proportions. The effect of added
starch in the flour made from wheat would
be to increase inordinately the proportion
of starchy matter. and thus the bread
would prove the unbalancing of the whole
diet of the eater. For instance. he would
be required, for one thing, to eat additional
quantities of meal containing certain pro-
portions of fat. Then. again. the excess
of starch in such a bread would tend to
interfere with the digestion of the portein
matters in the stomach. and here indiges-
ton might creep in. For starch, while not
in itself an unwholesome food. produces, If
eaten in abnormal quantities, arrangement
of the digestive organs. just as any other
article of food. such as protein or fat: used
in excess. would impair the natural pro-
cesses of digestion. So Professor Wiley ad-
vises housekeepers who have got into the
habit of favoring overstarched bread to
do so no longer.

A TYPH0ON HINDERS.
g American Steamer Has Reached Hong
Kong. hut Cannot Land
Her Mails.

HONG KONG. Aug. 17-The American
collier aafiro. from Manila, which arrived
here yesterday. is anchored in Junk bay.
She left Manila on the 18th. A typhoon is
raging. and is is impossible TO land the
mails with details of the battle at Manila
1t is learned. however. from an American
naval officer. that when Admiral Dewey.
on August G. demanded the surrender of
Manila within forty-eight hours, the Span
ish commander replied that. the insurgents
being outside the walls. he had no safe
place for the women and children who were
in the city. and asked for twenty-four
hours delay. This Admiral Dewey granted.
At the expiration of the specified time
Admiral Dewey and General Merritt con-
suited and decided TO postpone the at
tack
On August 13 the American SQUADRON
formed in line off Manila. The Olympia
fired the first shot at the Malate fort. The
shots of the Americans fell short. and
some time was occupied in finding the
range. Then the Callao, one of the gun
boats captured by Admiral Dewey from the
Spaniards, got under the fort and sent in a
hot fire. Great destruction was done with
the rapid fire guns. The fort failed to re-
ply. but fired on the American troops that
were storming the Spanish trenches
The large American ships We're ordered to
cease firing after an hours work. owing
to the failure of the fort to respond.
The fighting in the trenches was most
fierce Fifteen minutes after the Spaniards
were driven to the second line of defense

| the houses of all foreigners. in order to
| prevent their being looted.
The insurgents were not allowed to take
| part in the attack upon the city. but were
| kept in the rear of the Americans. In or
der to prevent bloodshed. they were forbid
| den TO enter the city after the surrender
| unless they were unarmed.
Before the surrender. the Spaniards
burned the transport Cebu in the Pasig
| river. 1t is supposed that Admiral Dewey
was unaware of the departure of Govern
| or General Augustin. The Zafiro's officer
| first heard the news of the governor gen.
| erals flight on their arrival here. General
| Augustins escape is considered to have
| been prearranged. as he brought with him
his family and suite.
NEW YORK. Aug. IA special dispatch
from Manila August 13. via Hong Kong.
| TO the New York Journal, says:
Five American soldiers were killed and
about forty-five wounded in the capture of
Manila this afternoon.
The stars and stripes were raised over
the city at $40 o'clock in the afternoon.
In the bay Admiral Dewey's fleet thun-
dered a national salute.
The combined naval and land forces were
employed in the capture of the Spanish
stronghold of the Philippines. AT o'clock
in the morning, the signal TO begin HrlnS
was sent on Admiral Dewey's flagship.
The authorities in the city and consuls
of foreign powers had previously been no.
titled of the intended bombardment. For
two hours great shells were thrown into
the city.
After the bombardment the troops moved
forward to attack the Spaniards in the
trenches. There had been no reply to Dew
ey's bombardment, but the land forces met
with hot reception.
But the onward rush of the Americans
could not be stayed. With loss of five
killed and over two score wounded, they
drove back the Spaniards and captured the
trenches In short time the white flag
was hoisted by the dons and 1000 soldiers,
L eco rifles and a great quantity OF ammu-
milton were surrendered.
The Spanish loss has not yet been ascer-
tanned. 1t is probably several times as
large as that of the American forces.
The Spanish forces numbered about 3,cco
men, but they We're we'll intrenched. Near
ly 1OO00 Americans were engaged in the
assault and their loss under the circum-
stances is considered small. The Colorado
troops were the first to storm the trenches,
and every man was hero.
When the white flag went up Captain
General Augustin jumped into launch
from the German cruiser Kaiserin Angus
ia. The cruiser then left with him on
board for Hong Kong.
The Filippinos are glad that the struggle
is over The shops are again open, the
blockade has been raised and things will
soon be just as they were before Admiral
Dewey came to destroy Spanish rule here.
