CONSTITUTING TERMS
OF CAPITULATI0N.

Washington, August 2l.-UnoAi
cial advices from Manila, received
previous to the arriva! of the text of
the terms indicated that the capitula-
ton of the city included the surren.
der OF the Philippines, aud that Span
ish sovereignty over the entire
Archipelago was. temporarily, at
least, at an end. This view is not
sustained by the conditions cf the
surrender as cabled by Gen Merritt,
and, it may be said, it is not the
view taken by the best informed
officials of the administration. While
some of the war authorities last night
were inclined to the opinion that the
articles of capitulation, necessarily
temporary. aud naturally somewhat
elastic in the phraseology, might be
construed to mean the surrender of
Spanish control over the entire Phil
ippine group, the prevalent opinion
now is that they mean precisely what
they say, and that the surrender only
includes the city of Manila and its
immediate surroundings, or "su.
burbs," as it was expressed in the
articles.
It can be said authoritativeiy that
the President is quite satisfied with
the terms as made by Gen. Merritt
and Admiral Dewey. Their instruc
tions afforded them considerable lati
tude for individuality of action, the
President feeling confident that they
would secure the best possible terms
in the circumstances That they
have done 80, he is certain.
1t is pointed out that the terms of
the capitulation of Manila can have
but little effect upon the action of the
Paris peace commission, in any event
The protocol, as signed by the &C
credited representatives of the gov.
ernments of the United States and
Spain, provides for the cession of
the city, bay and harbor CT Manila TO
the United States, and leaves to the
peace commission to determine the
disposition and government of the
Philippine islands; whether, there
fore, Spain is to retain her sover-
eighty over the islands is question
to be decided by the Paris commis-
sion. The action of the commission
is circumscribed by the provisions of
the protocol, while the terms of the
capitulation of Manila. it is suggest.
ed, can have but little more serious
effect upon the commissions work
than those of the surrender of San
tiago.

right from the shoulder. They bat.

local players who merely chased the
ball, felt like those Of recruit who
had drilled steadily Ill day after
the agony was over. Not being
present it is Impossible for us to go
into details and tell how the 16 to l
scores were made, even had we been
present, the attempt would be futile,
as Mark Twain only, of all living
humorists could write it as it should
be written. The score card showed
no Star plays nor even any good
ones. There were errors and miss
hal lps in profusion. This however
can be attributed to lack of practice
The score itself furnishes substantial
proof that base ball is science, and
that all men are not scientists. The
score: 3s to Z, favoring Lopez.
