headquarters of the independent divis-
ion, eight army corps. from Camp Mer-
rift to the Preside. The troops now at
Camp Merritt will remain there at least
this week. or until information is re-
ceived whether or not General Merritt
needs any more soldiers. In the event
that he does not, the troops will be
moved to the Preside and await fur
Their orders.
The departure of the transports Scan
dia and Arizona is still delayed. Ii is
possible that they may be sent to Ma
Mia with supplies for the troops. Ii
will be fully a week before word is re-
ceived from General Merritt signifying
his wishes in regard to the remaining
eXpeditionary forces.

MANILA UNFRAMED.
The spaniards Made Their Usual Appeal
for DELAY.

Berlin. Aug. 1~6.-According to a dis
patch from Hong Kong. the Apericans,
about noon on Aug. Z. addressed to the
Spanish commander at Manila an ulti-
matum demanding the surrender of the
city and the Spanish forces within As
hours. During the interval of grace the
Germans embarked all German sub
jects and others under German protec-
ton.
The demand for surrender was re-
peated on the afternoon of Aug. p. but
the Spaniards requested a delay to en-
able them to obtain instructions from
Madrid, by way of Hong Kong. The
request was refused.
A bombardment of the outer lines and
outer batteries by the American war
ships was begun about 10 o'clock on the
morning of Aug. 1S. The Spaniards
We're soon forced to evacuate their
southern position at Malate. and the
Americans, who advanced on land, ar
rived soon after noon before the old
town. which was surrendered. Manila
itself, despite the heavy fire. remained
completely unframed.

PRETTY WELL MIXED UP
The Sidewalk Question Will Go
to the Council.
CITY ATTORNEYS VIEWS
He Holds That the Custom Is illegal
The City Has No Right to Make
Such Contracts-May Have to
Pay All the Bills.

Among those matters which the city
council will have to grapple with at to-
nights meeting will be the matter OF
permanent sidewalks TO be presented by
the city attorney and by the street and
alley committee. which have concluded
to turn their dilemma over to the VIII Die
council. According to the city attor-
neyis position, the present custom cf 1T
ing all the permanent SIDEWALKS Ia l.,
constructed during a year by contract
is illegal: that the city ma NJ rlgh: t.
let a contract of that sort. III tins - ~
the city is in a pretty mess, for all pen-
pie for whom sidewalks have been laid
can refuse to pay and thd- VIII leo We
the city at large to pay 'r Ia. walks.
Some of the members Of the street and
alley committee. who were discussing
the matter yesterday, did not believe
that the city attorney is right in his
view and they censured him for not
notifying them a year and a half ago If
he considered that they were doing
wrong. All last year the city worked
under the system and the city attorney
made no objection. They consider that
il is the duty of the city attorney 10 let
them know when they get of wrong
and let them know soon enough to OBJ
Viate any evil results. In this they are
inclined to censure the city attorney for
not stopping them more han a year
ago instead of waiting until this late
day.
The ways and means committee,
which has been acting in conjunction
with the board of equalization the past
few days, will probably make a report
at to-night's council meeting. They will
doubtless have something To say on the
subject Of road tax. The members of
the committee believe the county is
wrong in collecting a one-mill road tax
on Guy property to be expended for the
Improvement of roads outside the city
limits. Their views on this matter were
expressed in the Standard a few days
ago. The members Of the committee are
DESTROYS that the council shall act in the
matter and determine whether they
want to enjoin the county commission
Oss from collecting this tax or take any
other action.
The commissioners have announced
that they propose to collect this tax as
usual, and at the present time there is
probably no way of stopping them ex-
cept by injunction.
The fire and water committee Of the
city council met yesterday afternoon.
At to-night's council meeting the com
mittee will recommend that a new hook
and ladder truck be purchased. The
present truck has been used a number
of years and is getting dilap.dated and
somewhat patched up. 1t is desired to
have a new truck purchased similar 10
the present one, but a little larger, and
with one longer ladder for use on some
of the new buildings lately erected. The
weight of the truck is not TO exceed
$500. pounds. Bids will be called for.
The finance committee audited a num-
her of bills at a meeting yesterday after
noon.

strength of the entente which recent
events have brought about. 1t Is not
long since Lowell. Phelps and Bayard
were ~iercely attacked in America be-
cause they made themselves too popu-
lar here. 1t is not so certain that IL
would be so desirable to transfer Colo
mel Hay. but IL is quite certain that the
country and this government would
be sorry to lose him. considering the
delicate and difficult questions coming
up for settlement. 1t would be consol-
ing. however. to know that the Ameri-
can foreign office was in the hands of
a man who had learned from actual
observation what are the necessities of
England's foreign policy. His place
will not be easily filled. Among the
names mentioned is that Of r. J. Choate.
and no man would be better qualified
for the position nor more cordially re-
ceived in this country"

Heroic Figures Nit.

London, Aug. 16.-The papers his
morning CONNER upon the heroic and
theatrical figures cut by Governors
General August and Blanco. The
Daily News congratulates Admiral
Dewey upon the humanity displayed.
The Daily Chronicle says: THE ac-
tion of the German commander in re-
moving Genera August is likely to in
crease the tension between Germany
and America"
The Standard says: The fall of Ma
Mia gives America valuable assets in
peace negotiations, but does not dimin-
ish the difficulty which President Nc
Kinley will have to face"

TEXAS REPUBLICANS.
A Declaration for Colonial Expansion
Greeted With Applause.

Fort Worth. Texas, Aug. 16.-The re-
publican state convention was to have
met at noon to-day, but as the execu-
tive committee is not ready it was 2
o'clock before Chairman f. H. r. Green
called the delegates to order. In his adj
dress Chairman Green alluded to the
war, McKinley's administration and de-
clared for expansion. His words were
received with great applause. The big
fight was owe the temporary chairman
ship between II. G. Ferguson, a colored
man, and Judge Ogden of San Antonio.
At 3 o'clock tonight the
committee reported recommending Fer
guson for temporary chairman. This
is virtually a victory for the opposition
to State Chairman Green, who favored
the selection of some one else, by the
Hawley faction. There will probably
be no state ticket nominated. The popu-
lists are endeavoring to secure a repub-
lican endorsement of Barnett Gibbs for
governor. but the executive committee
will not consider the proposition. The
appointment of committees on creden-
tials. resolutions and platforms was
then taken up.

the south and in the south. Suppose
that northern intelligence understood

the south and in the south. Suppose
that northern intelligence understood
rightly that the government should not
extend the suffrage to the dependent"
negro race in the south, how quickly
would a great, cruel, vindictive wrong
be unione. Suppose the north had
virtue and justice enough to act upon
the right conviction that popular gov
eminent rests lot upon a theory of
mans rights but upon an experience
of mans capabilities" how soon would
the plumbers perpetrated under the
Amendments XIII, XIV, and XIV
against the government, against the
south, against honest and intelligent
legislation, be in part remedied by
depriving negroes Of the franchise and
wiping out the devilish Amendments.
Nothing was ever so blindly, mad
ly, sweepingly done as the enactment
of those Amendments to the Constitu-
ton. By them the emancipated ignor-
ant slaves were at nee placed upon an
equality of citizenship with the great
ruling, trained white race. Then chaos
began. Then the political devil was
unclaimed. He is still rowing and de-
vouring and the e nd is not yet. The
Interior strikes at the very root of
the matter, goes to the very founda-
ton Of all the wrongs following, when
it says we'll and truly:
mo man has q natural right to en-
act injustice; and if lacking in intel
ligence or morals he is no more fit to
be a citizen than to be a Car. Our
~forefathers were highly transcenden-
tai in their declaration but eminently
practical in their constitution. If now
forced to restrict suffrage to the wor-
thy abroad we may learn to be more
careful in it's bestowment at home.
+ y y AS to subject races-well the
the less we say about that the bet
ter. Is not this "a white mans gov
e~rnment?'"
That is northern. 1t is healthful,
sagacious and helpful. Well may this
able Presbyterian organ ask-"Is not
this "a White Mans government"
1t is and the white men of North Car
Dina have resolved to assert that pre-
cious trueism and to give it living
embodiment and expression on 8th
November, God being their Helper.

Jeter Pritchard was a pronounced
silver man, so he said, when he was
trying to go to the U. S.. senate. In a
public speech he said:
Il consider that free trade and gold
monometalism are twin brothers, and
he who courts gold monometalism in
vites the disaster which must follow
in the wake of free trade"
He even went beyond this sweeping
declaration in a speech at Henderson
Vile. Where is Jeter now? He re-
poses serenely in the arms of Mark
Hanna, and he sheds crocodile tears Of
rejoicing as he whispers into the bal
lOt-stuffer's ears-"1 love you friend
Mark and l am goldbug all through.
Watch my votes" The Raleigh News
and Observer telling of Jeter's onver
sion, which was easy and we'll creased,
says that these are his own words:

convention, and after carefully study
ing the situation I became convinced

It adds:

ards friends held his advice they will
carry him to an insane asylum, for he

advocating the gold standard l want
them to send me to the asylum be-

Jeter slips and he slides and is full
match for that venerable old political
acrobat, Office Holding Dockery who
has recently announced that he was no
longer a populist but "a silver repub-
lican." He is really a full f1edged black
radical.
