Hone KONG, July 49,. Reports brought
from Manila by steamer state that as a
result of a correspondence between
Dewey and the admiral of the German
squadron, growing out of the incident
in Subig bay, the actions of the Ger
mans are now such as to greatly lessen
the tension which their conduct created
among the American fleet.
General Anderson has had several
companies out traversing the country in
the vicinity of Augusti's garrisons, fa-
miliarizing the men with the character
of the country and getting them accus-
toned to the conditions under which
the insurgents are fighting.
A complete blockade is in force, and
supplies in the besieged city are grow.
ing alarmingly scarce. Aguinaldo sent
one of his aides to Augusti Friday with
the proposition that the captain-general
surrender or he would lombard the city.

to await the coming of General Merritt

When the steamer left Manila Span
ish ship had just been brought in by the
insurgents, on which a Chinese crew
had mutinied. All the Spanish officers
had been killed.
An incident which shows the kind of
timber of which Admiral Dewey ie made

shot was fred across her bow and a

Anxious to Begin the Attack-SecOnd American
Expedition Has Not Yet Arrived.

August was told that it was only by
the exercise of the severest discipline
that the insurgents were held in re-
straint. and if a general attack were
commenced Aguinaldo would not be re-
sponsible for any acts committed by his
followers.
A proposition was made to submit the
question of the independence of the
Philippines to the powers, after sur

have been the statement that he would
have to fight, no matter what the conse-

artillery from various parts of the

most advantageous positions about Ma.

THE Loud bill, which has been
delayed at several sessions of Con-
gress, and which purports to regu-
late second class mail matter is one
of the rankest outrages that has
been perpetrated against the coun-
try newspaper and the people. 1t
means the killing of the country
newspaper-the peoples mouth.
piece. Under it the postmasters
may refuse any newspaper which is
obnoxious to him, for political OF
other reasons, from the use of I'm.
Gle Sans mails. In reality the bill
is to cover up the work of numer-
Gus senators and representatives
who send out campaign matter un.
der the franking privileges and
stamp it public documents. u
This practice has caused large
deficit in the pIst Office department
and the Loud bill proposes to allow
this abuse Of the postal regulations
to go right on at the expense ofthe
country paper and the detriment oi
the people.

AS USUAL there are always few
who commend the newspaper that
dares to speak out in meetin' y
when something happens that is of
such nature to deserve ''roast. "
but those who will allow their
names to be used in connection with
information or back up the utter
ances Of a newspaper, are few and
far between. We are in possession
of enough heresay evidence to send
a half dozen young ''bluds" of this
section over the road, but all of our
informants say; "Now don't use
my name in connection with this. .
We assure you all that your name
will not be used and neither will
any of the information, no matter
how plausable 1t may be. We are
here to work in the upbuilding of
the community, the preservation OF
law and order and we will perform
that duty regardless Of the conse-
quences; but we are not sucking at

The republicans did not succeed
