MANILA SURRENDERS.

Admiral Dewey has bOmbarded Ma
Mia. and the city surrendered uncondi-
ticnally. The news was expected after
the affair at Malate. but it is to be re-
GREETED that news of the signing of the
protocol did not reach Dewey before
the bombardment. that it might have
been avoided.
In connection with the news of the
bombardment. there is one most i'm
portant matter. Consul Wildman at
Hongkong says that General August
was taken by the Germans in a launch
to the Kaiserin Augusta and brought
to Eongkong. erhere will be no sur
prise at this after the Irene incident at
Subig bay. 1t only emphasizes what
all Americans have known for long
time that Germany. while she has been
strictly and correctly neutral, is at
heart hostile to the United States 1t
would be going too far, perhaps, to say
that IL this matter the German nava!
commander acted under instructions,
but he would never have done as he did
had he not felt assured that his action
would meet with approval at Berlin.
The case is not unlike that of the es-
cape of CAPTAIN Semmes when the
Kearsarge sank the Alabama. In that
case a boat from the English yacht
DeerhOund rescued Semmes and carried
him to England. and the English gov
eminent refused TO surrender him. But
the Deerhound was a private yacht.
while the Kaiserin Augusta is a Ger
man warship. which makes all the diff.
ference IL the world.
1t is not at all unlikely that the gov
eminent will take diplomatic notice of
the incident. and ask for an exDlana-
ton and disavowal of the rescue of
General August.

THE Salt Lake Tribune seems to
have started in to get only one class
of interviews from Republicans, on
the silver question, cutting out views
in opposition. The sentiment of the
Republicans of this country seems to
be in favor of standing by the st.
Louis PLATFORM says the Provo En-
quirer. All consistent Republicans
favor standing by the st. Louis plat
form, which is anti-silver.

cept Republicanism as laid down in
the st. Louis platform or cease to
parade as Republicans. If the Repub-
itcans in Idaho endorse silver in their
state convention, then they repudiate
the st. Louis platform. If they endorse
the st. Louis platform. then they
repudiate silver. Republicanism and
silver cannot go together The Re-
publicans of Idaho who have been say
ing they We're true to silver and true
to their party and it's principles have
simply been trying to carry water on
both shoulders.

On reading the notes in the July num-

tracted by painting over the mantel.
