AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. L. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth Of
her little girl:
"DEAR Mrs. PiNKuAM:-lt Is with
pleasure that ! add my testimony TO
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val.
liable medicine.
after the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. had leucorrh9a badly, and q
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
NIL the time, and dizzy feelings. Men.
situations were very profusc, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from n good doctor,
but II seemed TO do no good. / was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when l read your advertisement In a
paper. sent Mt once for n bottle Of
Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds OF
the bottle felt so much better that /
send for two more. After using three
bottles i felt us strong and well Us any
one.
81 think II Is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend 1t to every lady / meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is n wonderful experience
mud many women approach 1t wholly
unprcpared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice Of Mrs. Pinkham Is freely
offered to nll expectant mothers, and
her advice Is beyond question the most
valuable TO be obtained. II Mrs. Pax

MANILA HAS FALLEN.
SURRENDERED ON THE 18TH.
Observation-Disclosures 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 at 11.1t
p. m, August 18th, from Consul Wild
man. Hong Kong:
Augusti says Dewey bombardcd
Manila Saturday. City surrendered
Internationally. Augusti was taken
by the Germans in cruiser Kaiscrin
Augusta and brought to Hong Kong.
| credit report"
At the State Department the report
that Captain General Augusti had es.
capped from Manila presented an en-
tirely new question without official
precedent. 1t was said that Augusti
went on board German war ship
knowing that surrender was imminent
and took refuge to avoid defeat, the
German government will be obliged to
render him up as a prisoner to the
United States
Hong Kong. Aug. 15.-rhe German
first-class cruiser Kaiserln 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 Augusti, 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 at the first
opportunity.
1t Is a significant fact that while the
fastest German cruiser has brought
General August, she brings only n
small package of mail 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. hut no news
Is Obtainable from the Spanish consul.
Governor General Augusti refused to
speak. The German consul was called
upon and lie Informed the correspond
ent that the outskirts of Manila We're
bombarded by the Americans and that
the city surrendered. No damage was
done to the city proper, only the out
skirts being bombardcd. The date of
the bombaroment was unknown to the
German consul. who refused to say
more.
General Augusti told lady that Ad-
miral Dewey demanded the surrender
of Manila in an hour. The Spaniards
declined to surrender and Dewey be
gan the bombardment and the Span
iards hoisted a white flag. General Au-
gusti Immediately jumped into u
launch before the bombardmcnt was
concluded. The bombardment occurred
on the 18th.

CALM AT WASHINGTON
OFFICIALS TAKE 1T EASY.
All Thought Turns Now to Plans for
Govcrning tho Conquered Islands.

Washington, Aug. 14.-The White
House, the War Department and the
Navy Department to-day resumed
their usual Sunday quiet, n condition
which has not prevailed since the
Maine was blown up in Havana har-
Dor February 18th.
Secretary Algcr was Mt the depart
ment few minutes and also went to
the White House. but did not remain
long. General Corbin came into his
office during the day and looked over
his dispatches, but did not remain con-
stantly on duty, as he has been doing.
There were n few clerks about the de-
partment, but scarcely n Sunday
not happen. The busy, warlike atti-
tude has entirely disappeared and
Washington has settled down to n
peace basis.
The commission created to ar
range the details of the evacuation OF
Cuba is considered n happy solution
of n perplexing question. There are
now in Cuba between 10000 and 1OO,-
900 Spanish soldiers. 1t will be quite
IN undertaking for Spain to remove
this army. The President will prob
ably be willing to agree that the with
drawal shall be at such rate that
about $4,000 Spanish soldiers will re-
main upon the island October 1st.
Then the American forces can be land
ed without imperlling the health OF the
soldiers. The administration does not
anticipate friction in Cuba in remov-

JAPAN AND HAWAII,
The Latter Pays the Claim of Japanese
Immigrants.

Washington, Aug. 1G.-Minister Sew.
all, at Hawaii. has Informed the State
Department that Hawaii has paid to
Japan $4,000 as indemnity for the re-
lusal Of the Hawaiian government to
allow certain Japanese to land In Ha-
wall AT various times during the past
three years. Quite n complication arose
over the claim of Japan for a larger
amount about the time the new treaty
of annexation was negotiated. but this
payment no doubt clears II all up.
Mr.. Sewall says that the payment of
$4,000 referred 10 was In full settle
ment OF all Japanese claims, public and
private. He also reports that the Jap
anese charge d'aifaircs at Honolulu ex-
pressed thanks TO the United States
government for It's 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 rs cx-
pressed by Minister Scwall. acting
under instructions from the State De-
partment at Washington. The admin
istratlon 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
Stateg.

of Its depriving the children of half

of schools, when 1t has been tried. are

have been made as TO what shall be
done, one being the retention of the
bay, city and the harbor of Manila,
just what the protocol gives temporar-
lily. Another Is that Subig bay and
sufficient amount of territory for a
naval and cOallng station be secured
and the building up of an American
city ut that place begun. Still another
idea, which Is being considered, is the
retention of the island of Luzon, the
advocates of that plan believing that
there would be trouble between the
governments which occupied a portion
Of the island with a line of demarka-
ton such as would exist in case Ma
Mia and the bay only were retained.
The island of Luzon is the largest of
the group and contains about 100000
people, which are said to be the better
class in the Philippines 1t is believed,
however, that the administration and
the commission will be greatly infu-
enced by the reports which Admiral
Dewey and General Merritt will make
on the subject. Their reports are ex-
pectd before the commission meets.
The final determination as to the
government of Porto Rico and the set
tlement of the government of Cuba are
problems for settlement, but the I'M
preston prevails that these islands will
become quite rapidly Americanized
and every encouragement for them to
do so will be given. Porto Rico will
be under military control for the pres
ent. Cuba also will be similarly gov
erned, but 1t is probable that American
reforms in the matter of government

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 10, 11:25 n.
m.-The Spanish steamer Isla de Luzon
sailed this morning for Spain, having
on board 2,13G Spanish soldiers. The
lsla de Penay will probably sail to-
morrow, and she will be followed by
the De Satruseteguit. The Montevidco
arrived this morning, and will be load
ed at once.
The embarkation of the prisoners is
being pushed with great activity. This
Is rendered imperative by their horri-
BILE condition. The mortality is so great
In the Spanish camp, where disease is
rampant, that no longer are the dead
buried. A funeral pile of ten or twelve
bodies Is made, saturated with kero-
sene and set fire to. cremating the bod
les In the open air.
The transport Breakwater sailed this
morning with the Twelfth infantry.
The City of Macon will sail this after
noon with the Seventeenth regiment,
and the Leona leaves tomorrow with
battery G Of the Fourth artillery, the
remnants of the Ninth and Tenth cav
airy, the Gatling gun detachments
and Colonel Parker's two companies Of
