MANILA HAS FALLEN.
SURRENDERED ON THE 18TH.
Dewey Gave an Hours Notice and Then
Bombarded-Augusti Fled to Hong
Kong on u German warship.

washington, Aug. 15.-The Depart
ment of State has just issued the fol-
lowing:
The following dispatch was received
at the Department of State ut lilo
n. M, August 18th. from Consul Wild
man, Hong Kong:
"'Augusti says Dewey bombarded
Manila Saturday. City surrendered
Internationally. Augusti was taken
by the Germans In cruiser Kaiserin
Augusta and brought to Hong Kong.
l credit report"
At the State Department the report
that Captain General Augusti had es-
caped from Manila presented an en-
tirely new question without official
precedent. 1t was said that Augusti
went on board a German war snip
knowing that surrender was Imminent
and took refuge to avoid defeat, the
German government will be obliged to
render him up as prisoner to the
United States.
Hong Kong, Aug. 15.-The German
flrst-class cruiser Kniserin Augusta ar
rived here to-day. having left Manila
on Saturday. She reports that the SIT
uation there was unchanged. but her
officers are extremely reticent.
General August. captain general OF
the Philippines. arrived by the Kaiser
In Augusta. He refuses to be Inter
viewed and will say nothing more than
that he is going to Spain Mt the hrst
opportunity.
1t is u singlficant f;ftt that while the
fastest German cruiser has brought
General Augusti, she brings only Il
small package of mall for the Ger
man consul.
The opinion here Is that the Germans
have arranged matters with Captain
General Augusti. The Insurgents now
at Hong Kong are not satisfied with
the terms of peace proposed by the
Americans.
1t was rumored here last night that
Manila had surrendered. but no news
is obtainablc from the Spanish consul.
Governor General Augusti refused to
speak. The German consul was called
upon and he Informed the correspond
cnt that the outskirts OF Manila were
bombartled by the Americans and thnt
the city surrendered. No damage was
done to the city proper, only the out
skirts being bombardcd. The date or
the bombartlment was unknown 10 the
German consul, who refused to say
more.
General Augusti told n lady that Ad-
miral Dewey demanded the surrender
OF Manila In an hour. The Spaninrds
declined to surrender and Dewey be-
gan the bombardment and the Span
iards holsted u white flag. General Au-
gusti Immediately jumped Into
launch before the bombardment was
concluded. The bombardment occurred
on the 18th.

field s. Schley.
1t will be noticed that the name of
Fitzhugh Lee does not appear in the
list of the Cuban commissioners. THO
omission Is not unintentional. General
Lee was originally slated for place
on the commission, but will not serve,
owing to his desire to remain ut the
head of his army corps. 1t is expect
ed that this corps. the Seventh, will
eventually be sent to Cuba, and in that
event, General Lee will go to the Is
land mt Its head, prcferring that POSI-
ton to n commissonership.

QUESTION OF FUSION.
Result of u Conference Held at Glen
wood.


Denver, Aug. IA special dispatch
to the Republican from Glenwood says:
The net results OF the deliberations
OF the cooperation committees of the
Silver Republican. Democratic anu
Populist parties, after several sessions
lasting two days, is n Recommendation
to the conventions of the respective
parties to form mn alliance. the decii-
nation of the committees to interfere
with the judgment OF the conventions
In advance, and the appointment OF n
committee Of three to draft report
of the proceedings OF the conference
to be presented to the various state
conventions.
This was embodied In resolution
passed tonight and voted for by all
the members except d. @. .Webber or
Arapahoe county, II member OF the
Silver Republican committee. The
adoption of the resolution marked the
close of the proceedings.
The conspicuous feature of the con-
ference In all Of Its phases wns the
marked good feeling displayed In the
discussion and consideration OF the
several questions and propositions In
troduced. At no time was there any
approach to ncrimony or bitterness.
and the members of the different COM
mittees proved that on the grent ques-
tions OF blmetallic victory In the state
there Is absolutely no difference Of
opinion among them.

WORK OF RECONSTRUCTION.
Mckinley Consuits fit.huEh Lce.Rsduc
Ing tho Naval Force.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The recon-
struction of affairs In Cuba, Porto Kico,
and throughout the Spanish West In
dies Is receiving earnest consideration
In official quarters aud Mt the White
House. To-day the President saw
number of prominent callers IN REFER
cnce to this reconstruction In our new
insular dependencies.
General FitZhugh Lee spent some
time with the President, going over the
condition of Cuban affairs. While no
announcement was made, the impress
sion prevailed that General Lee would
be one of the Cuban military commits
sloners to be named within n few
DAYS. Acting Secretary Allen of the
navy also saw the President concern
ing Cuban affairs. 1t is probable that
an American naval vessel VIII go TO
Havana hnrbor before long and mt least
two nnynl vessels will be ordered to
Havana when the military commission
assemblies there to determine upon the
details of Spanish evacuation.
The Navy Department decided dur
ing the day to yield rs far as practl-
cable to the public desire Mt New York
for a naval review of the ships OF Ad-
mlral SIMPSONS ffeet
The Navy Department will direct that
upon arrival In New York harbor. the
fleet will steam up the North river ns
far as General Grants tomb. fire sa-
lutte and steam back to their anchor
age. 1t is expected that the fleet will
reach New York OH Saturday, the 10th
instant.
The plan is to have Admiral Samp-
son met of Sandy Hook with orders
for the procession up the North river
Il is expected that the fleet will be on
Sandy Hook some time Friday night,
but they will lie outside the hnrDor un-
I'll Saturday morning.
The Navy Department Is taking steps
to reduce the force of naval militiamen
called into service from the several
states. The Minneapolis is to trans
fer part of her crew to the Yosemite.
thus releasing the Michigan naval mi
litlamen. who man the Yosemite. The
Columbia Is also to transfer her crew
10 the Dixie and other auxiliary craft,
thus allowing the naval militinmen on
these auxilinries TO go home. In this
way the naval service will be speedily
turned into the hands of the regular Of
ucers and crews.

According to Nansen, the polar Ice Is
about ten feet thick. and Vice Admiral
Maknroff holds that the ice-breaking
steamers which have been proposed
for clearing the hnrbors Of the Baltic
ana n passage through the Kara sea
In winter might also be used for plOE-
ing way to the north pole. That the
principle is possible IL seen In the fact
that on Lake Michigan steamers Of the
kind break up ice more than twelve
feet thick. 1t IL suggested that n ves-
sci or two. built on the lines of the
Fran, to withstand pressure and fitted
as ice-breakers. should be used. and
that they should force their way to the
pole. or as near 1t rs possible. The
rest of the Journey might be made
with sledges. 1t is calculated that at
n speed of two miles an hour, which
the ordinary "brcakcr" can accom-
plish In thick ice. the pole might be
reached from Spitzbergen In some
thing over a fortnight, or, at the out
side. in n month.

JAPAN AND HAWAII.
Tho Latter Pays tho Claim of Japanese
1mmigrnnta.


Washington, Aug. 1G.-Minister Sew
nll, Mt Hawaii, has Informed the. State
Department that Hawaii has paid to
Japan $4,000 as indemnity for the re-
fusal OF the Hawaiian government to
allow certain Japanese to land In Ha-
wall nt various times during the past
three years. Quite II complication arose
over the claim of Japan for larger
amount about the time the new treaty
of annexation was negotiated, but this
payment no doubt clears 1t all up.
Mr.. Sewall says that the payment Of
$I5, 600 referred to was In full settle
ment of all Japanese claims. public and
private. He also reports that the Jap
anese charge d'affaires ut Honolulu eX-
pressed thanks to the United States
government for Its good offices In the
matter. The action OF the Hawaiian
government In paying this indemnity
was based upon the recommendation Of
the United States government as ex-
pressed by Minister Sewall, acting
under instructions from the State De-
partment ut Washington. The admin.
istratIon desired that the controversy
between Japan and Hawaii over the
immigration question should be settled
before the formal annexation of the
Islands to the territory Of the United
States.
