A STUPENDOUS COMBINE
The Great Adam FOrepaugh and Sells
Brothers Enormous shows
Toiteb

From the New York World.
"Mr. ]. r. Bailey, sole owner of the
Adam Forepaugh Shows has just ar
ranged with Messrs. Ephraim, Lewis and
Peter Sells, by which the show owned by
the latter and known as Sells Brothers
Enormous Railroad Shows is consolidated
with the Forepaugh Show, thus making
the new show one of the largest and most
powerful in the world. The combination
thus effected will have great influence up
on every other show in the country, except
the 'Barnum &, Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth. owned solely by J. A. Bailey. and
the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show in
which Mr.. Bailey has "a joint interest
Under the new arrangement all the cages,
rial and paraphernalia of the Forepaugn
Show will now be added to the already
big show of the Sells Brothers"
All the parties to this unprecedented
and formidable amusement alliance-the
absolute genuineness of which is conclu-
sively established by the above extract
and similar comments by the other great
dailies-unite in declaring that its imme-
date and governing purpose is to give
their patrons more for the money than
has ever before been attempted in the
show bushes. and this evidently will be
done. Separately. as the great majority
of our readers well now, the Adam Fore
paugh Show and that Of +he Sells Broth
ers has each for many years held an en-
viable position of first-class and popular
prominence and success. Either has, time
and again, demonstrated itself possessed
of ample material to make a good deal
more than a Roman holiday" and if
united they cannot establish a regular
rouser and world-beater, all the rare wild
beasts combined have lost their attract
iveness, the hypnotic and hilarious in
fluence OF all the greatest arenic artists
and clowns is exploded farce. and the pos
sib lilies OF unlimited capital beggar's
dream Otherwise the result must be a
most extraordinary and sensational sue
cess from every standpoint and such it
will doubtless prove IN Wichita on Mon
day. July %, when the new combination
OF Americas greatest shows makes its
first appearance in this vicinity. Each has
a ways attracted and well deserved big
patronage, and the pull of the two united
should draw tremendously from both far
and near.

CAPTURE OF GRAND ISLAND

New York, July 13.-A special copyright
cable from Manila, dated July TO- to the
New York Journal says:
Admiral Dewey, early on July Z, dis
patched the Raleigh and Concord to take
Grande Island in Subic bay and capture
the garrison. The cruisers shelled the
principal points on the islands. destroying
the earthworks and other Notifications
and laying the torpedo station in ruins.
They then sent out a launch with
message demanding surrender. There was
no response and the Raleigh finally sent
q 6-inch shell through the commanders
house The white flag was instantly run
up on the ruins Of the earthworks. A
landing party demanded absolute surren-
der. The Spanish colonel Rio. realizing
his hopeless position, made submission.
and gave up his sword.
The 800 men comprising the garrison
were made prisoners and their rifles were
taken from them Forty thousand rounds
of ammunition and one Hotchkiss gun
were also captured.
This victory gives the Americans con-
troll of Subic bay.
The Spanish were endeavoring to pro-
tect it with submarine mines and to make
it ready for occupation of the Spanish
feet. supposed to be on its way from
Spain.
Admiral Dewey's possession of Subic
bay defeats Germany's supposed plans to
interfere in the Philippines.
The insurgents have captured the valu-
able merchant coast steamer named Phil
ipnas The native crew killed the officer
of the ship before her capture. The in
surgents were using the transport in an
attack which they contemplated making
on Grande Island before Admiral Dewey
was called upon
Although the attitude Of the Germans
IS still irritating Admiral Dewey is man
aging them with great diplomacy. He does
not expect any trouble with tAem.
The blockade Will hereafter be more
rigid. Only the supply ships OF the AM
erican and foreign fleets are allowed TO
enter. The Esmeralda, arriving from
Hong Kong yesterday with passengers,
was stopped and ordered to sea
The long expected refrigerating steam
ship Culgua, from Australia, with a cargo
of fresh beef. arrived and was welcomed
enthusiastically by the sailors and sol
diers.
The Australian cruiser Freundsburg ar
rived and saluted the Spanish flag first.
after which she saluted Admiral Dewey's
flag.

Manila, July 9.-via Hong Kong. July
13.-The insurgents on Wednesday, July
6. reported that the German boat Irenein

tack the Spaniards on Grande Island
Rear Admiral Dewey promptly dispatch
ed the Raleigh and Concord to investi-
gate the matter. On entering Subic bay
The Raleigh opened fire on the forts. Upon
this the Irene slipped her cable and stea-
med out by the other channel.
The result of the fire of the American
warship was that the Spaniards, number
ing over 500 men, surrendered everything.
On returning 10 Manila, the Irene ex-
planned that she interfered lin the cause
of humanity" and offered to hand over
to the Americans the refugees she had on
board. Admiral Dewey, however, declined
to accept them.
Governor General Augusti has issued
proclama ton promising to grant auton-
omy TO the islands and offering the in
surgents inducements to join the Spanish
forces. General Aguinaldo, the insurgent
leader, in reply. said the overtures Of the
parish commander came too late.

PHILIPPINES COMPLICATIONS

Manila, July s. via Hong Kong, July
12-The insurgents yesterday made Wig
orous attacks on the Spaniards from al
sides with little result. They shelled the
Spanish Lighthouses and trenches north
of Manila and captured the Spanish guns
at Sawa Mesa
There was q furious musketry fire all
night long at san Juan. Santa Ana, Pasco
and Pasayi. the Spaniards replying with
artillery and musketry.
The insurgent artillery is not yet Oper-
attn,
About 40 native militia at Santa Ana
nave joined the insurgents.
The insurgents have rushed the Malate
entertainments, pushing forward to the
walls OF the fort. but they had to retire
at daylight It IS probable that the loss
was 100 men on each side.
The Americans and the insurgents are
acting Independently. both conducting
their own operations and hoping to evolve
an agreement afterward.
The extent and duration Of General
Asuinaldo's ineuence is certain. But il IS
certain That the Mohammedans of the
south archipelago ignore him. and the in
surgents Of the island of I.uzon and other
regions are content to use Aguinaldo un-

are postponing operations until they are
fully prepared for any emergency. The
natives are proving intrac,ab.e. About
0,000 Americans are expected here short
ly. which would enable them 10 effectively
control the whole Of the Philippine
Islands.
In the meantime there are difference be-

The latter is reported 10 be aware that
he cannot capture anila without the AID
of he Americans. bur a majority Of his
followers assert that he can. In any case
they consider that he should attain a posi-
ton which would enable him 20 make the
best terms possible with the Americans.
Accordingly. the insurgents have aban-
doned their attitude of inac1ion and have
arranged for further revolts on the part
of the hitherto loyal natives.

When the Raleigh and the Concord
visited Subio they found the insurgents
in possession. It appears that a month
ago the wild mountaineers. with bows and
spears. descended upon the place in thou
sands. The native garrison seeded, the
Spanish abandoned the arsenal without
struggle and sought refuge on Grande
island, which quickly surrendered to the
Americans

General Miles was much interested in
the war maps and information regard
ing the trails and the chances Of getting
artillery 70 the front. His Journey was
very trying one, owing 60 the rain and
mud, the latter IN many places being up
10 the horses knees.
The last two days have been the worst
of the campaign so far as the weather
is concerned The tropical thunder storms
have ben frequent with an almost con-
tnuous downpour Of rain. The rife pits
and trenches at the front have been food
ed and last night few men in the oesleg-
ing army were able TO sleep. owing 20 the
amount of water on the ground.
The already heavy hardships endured
have been greatly increased and much III
ness is likely to result, as no adequate
shelter is possible.
The trail to the front is in fHghtfui
shape. The streams and the fords are
swollen and the soft soil is cut into al
most impossible shapes by the wheels OF
the supply wagons One of General RAN
dolph's light batteries occupied whole
day in getting to the front
The rain is coming down in torrents
tonight, and a thunderstorm is raging
along the coast the storm continues
il is likely to delay opera tons seriously.
Troops from the auxiliary cruisers Yale
and st. Paul have been landing in the
rain all day, and have been going into
camp wet and miserable. 1t has been
bitter experienc for the raw troops but
they will be pushed right on to the front
tomorrow.
The beach tonight is dotted with splut-
tering camp fires of the new arrivals Ine
mn are clustering about the feeble flames
in dismal groups. many Of them without
the slightest shelter from the tropical
downpour.
The fleet was inactive sill day. The
Brooklyn occupied a position about five
miles west of the harbor entrance and
the remainder of our warships were
strung along the coast east as far as Ju-
IA qua.
At the latter point the flagship New
York lay nearly all day.
Rear Admiral Sampson and General
Miles were frequently in communication
during the forenoon General Miles went
on board the New York at about 9 o'clock
and a frequent xchange of notes between
the two commanders occurred later. The
nature of their conference could not be
ascertained; but it is supposed to have
related 10 a concerted attack upon San
tiago.
