There are different ways of out-lasting

known to the girls that he got only $40 a
month and had to support three women
relatives back East, and since that time
the girls no longer walk past his boarding

SEED DISTRIBUTION.
The Work VIII Be Done by Con

tract.
The pressure for positions at the De-
partment of Agriculture is unusually
heavy just now, owing to the impression,
which seems to be quite general, that the
seed distribution begins on the first of
October.
Every day there are fifteen or twenty
new applications brought to the attention
of Secretary Wilson and already the
number on file aggregates more than 800
applications. The majority of the appli-
cants will be disappointed, for there are
only about eighty places in the Agri-
cultural Department not within the clas-
sified civil service.

SPANISH WRECKS AT MANILA.
Broken and Battered Hulls Still Full

New York, July PA correspondent

ships sunk in Manila by the squadron
Of Admiral Dewey.
The cruiser Reina Cristina shows the
most complete destruction. The course
of the Olympia's eight-inch shell is

her woodwork is totally destroyed.
There are very few large shotholes
through her hull, the principal ones be-

from some of the four-inch shells.
Charred human remains We're seen in

Playa del Este. Guantanamo Bay,
July 21.-The following is the official
account of the latest naval victory
that at Manzanillo, modestly told by
Commander Todd of the United States
gunboat Wilmington, in his report to
Admiral Sampson:
At Z o'clock on the morning of July
IS the vessels on blockade duty in this
vicinity. the Wilmington. Helena, Scor-
pion. Hist, Hornet, Wampatuck and
Osceola, approached the harbor of
Manzanillo from the westward. At 1880
o'clock the Wilmington and Helena en-
tered the northern channel toward the
city, the Scorpion and Osceola the mid
/ channel, and the Hist, Hornet and
Wampatuck the south channel, the
movements of the vessels being so
timed as to bring them within effective
range of the shipping at about the same
moment.
At $50 fire was opened on the ship
ping and after a deliberate fire lasting
about two and a half hours three Span
ish transports, Ell Gloria. Jose Garcia
and La Puriciama Conception, were
burned and destroyed. The Pontoon,
which was the harbor guard and store
ship probably for ammunition, was
burned and blown up. Three gunboats
were destroyed. One other was driven
ashore and sunk, and a third was
driven ashore and is believed to have
been disabled.
The firing was maintained at range
which is believed to be beyond the
range of the shore artillery. 1t was
continued until, after a gradual closing
in. the shore batteries opened fire at a.
comparatively short range, when the
ships were recalled, the object of the
expedition having been accomplished,
and the ideas of the COMMUNICATIVE
chief carried out, as I understood them,
that is, to destroy the enemy's ship
ping. but not to destroy the batteries or
the forts.
|. No casualties occurred on board any
of our vessels. Great care was taken in
directing the fire, that as little damage
as possible should be done to the city
itself and so far as could be observed
little, if any, was done.
All of cur vessels were handled with
sound discretion and excellent judg-
ment by the several commanding Off
GERS, which was to have been expected
from the men commanding them.
The Spanish loss is believed to have
been in the neighborhood of 100 killed.
The gunboats destroyed or driven
ashore were the Delgado, Guantanamo.
Ostralia, Continola and Guardian.
The committee appointed by Admiral
Sampson to examine the wreck of the
Reina Mercedes reports that the vessel
can probably be raised and added to
the American navy. Her guns have
been recovered blythe Iowa
General Miles left this morning
Thursday for Porto Rico. The main
body of the fleet lies at Guantanamo.
The Brooklyn is the only ship left at
Santiago.

CAPTURE OF MANILA.
Dewey May Take Action Before GEN
eral Merritt Arrives.


Manila, Philippine Islands, July II
(via Hongkong. July 2).-Rear Adj
miral Dewey may decide to capture
Manila before General Merritt arrives
here. In view of the possibility of an
early peace and the news from Cuba,
the insurgents are renewing their ac-
tivity. There have been vigorous at
tacks and a slight bombardment on
the outskirts of the city. to which the
Spaniards replied with an extravagant
Smelling. =
The Spaniards now say they do not
believe the reinforcements promised
them will ever reach here, and they
despair of success: but they condemn
the proposal to retire to the citadel,
which is utterly defenseless, as such a
step win merely invite slaughter.
Therefore, they believe it would be bet
ter to surrender, though fearing public
cenSure.. However, they viii probably
be compelled to surrender soon, as
food is dangerously scarce. They may
pretend to fight the Americans for the
sake of appearances, but the result will
not be long in doubt if Admiral Dewey
resolves to capture Manila with the
forces he has at his disposal.
A Spanish steamer, the Vosol, having
on board q native crew from the Viz
eaya islands, is now in the hands of
the insurgents. The crew revolted,
killed the Spanish officers and reached
Tayaboa, in the southern part of the
island of LuZon, but they there quar-
relied with the Tagalon insurgents and
returned TO IlOilo, which is looked upon
as indicating that the Vizcayas are I'M
willing to join the Tagalons. In any
case it is considered certain that the
Philippine islands will never be ANAL
gamated. and that they will never re-
turn to SPANS rule. Therefore the
only alternative. in the opinion of the
Informed people here. is for foreign
rule, American or British

MISS SCaLEY'S PEACE MISSION
Relative of the Commodore Going to

Milwaukee. Wis, July 21.-The Senti-
mel tomorrow morning will say: Miss
Jessie Schley of this city, who left
Paris yesterday for Madrid to inter-
view the queen regent of Spain and
Premier Sagasta, in an endeavor to
bring about peace between the United
States and Spain, has been told to come
home Immediately by her father,
Charles Schley, who is cousin of
Commodore Schley.
In letter written to his daughter to-
day, Mr.. Schley told her that her plan
was not only impracticable. but so abb
surd as to be farcical. Il wrote her"
continued Mr.. Schley, that her action
would embarrass the commodore, bring
about no good results, and give her a
notoriety which would not only be I'M
pleasant to her. but to us all. l am
very sorry that her unwarranted action
has created so much publicity for her,
and no good can come of ii.

lures made by anybody that would help
in ending the war, but that must be
regulated by the constituted authorities

organization. My daughter is of a

the evident intention when the invasion
army left the United States, but the
condition of the men now, according
to the physicians and commanding Of
ficers. is such that the entire corps
should return north at once. General
Miles has cabled that he does not want
and viii not need a single man among
them. and he believes that after their
hard campaign they should be given
rest of at least two or three weeks.
General Skaters messages to the
same effect have been most urgent,
and the doctors say that the men
should be given a rest of at least two
or three weeks. The doctors say the
men should be sent into camp in the
mountains of North Carolina or west
ern Maine for a month. Washington
agrees to this and will do everything
possible, the cable dispatch says, to
carry the army away from here. But
there is a lack of transports. In addi-
ton to the Porto Rico troops, which
will require 40 steamers for their con-
veyance, the authorities here are still
counting upon having to convey the
$4,000 Spanish prisoners to Cadiz. The
latter want to go as soon as possible,
and it appears from here that our gov
eminent cannot get sufficient vessels,
and this fact holds the Fifth corps
here, doing nothing. The men are anx-

General Shafter has cabled to Wash

All our men are now camped on the
fighting line, where they have been

hills. General Wheeler is still i'll, but
he resists the pleas of his friends to
return to the United States.
