Fatrolman Perry arrested william
Bryant. Blaine Christian and Edward
Detemple on the grounds of the Home
for the Frlerdless yesterday afternoon.
They had escaped from the Hillside
home, where they were confined for
unruliness while in the Home for the
FrieDdless. The boys were between
10 and IL years of age. They had
been since their infancy in the latter
institution, but became unmanageatle
and were sent to Hillside home to be
disciplined. Saturday word was te.e-
phoned to Scranton police headquor-
ters to be on the lookout for the lads.
They had taken French leave. Yes
tcrday they We're discovered in the
yard Of their first home. The police
were notified and patrolman Perry was
sent after them.
Tie omnibus from the Hillside home
came after them and they were taken
back with tears falling fast and out
wardly protesting against returning TO
TIE poor farm. IT was evidently their
intention to seek rc-admittancc to the
Friendless institution. They were
very penitent when put unde" arrest
and promised faithfully to BE- better
boys IL taken oack rs members of the
Home for the Friendless fold
A party Of twelve or fifteen small
boys returning from Nay Aug Park
created considerable disturbance last
evening about $50 on their way down
Mulberry street. Aiming themselves
with sticks purloined from a lumber
pile along the way, they proceeded to
beat tattooes on the fence5 and make
n terrific racket. The disturbance. how
ever, consisted largely in their leaping
into front yards and turning on all the
water faucets as they went,
AS it was about tea time, their pranks
were not discovered in time for per-
sonal chastsement, but there was
row of bare-headed and irate residents
visible most of the distance from Clay
to jefferson avenue engaged in turning
off the water that was generally flood
ing the pavements. The agility of the
gamins precluded a chase. but as the
latter reached the vicinity of the city
hail suddenly the silence became pain
full and their vociferation was changed
to breathless flight as a blue-coat ap-
peared leisurely from the court. Such
a general scattering caused much
amusement to the spectators.
Nathan d. Meyer, of Bethlehem, an
engineer employed on the Bath divis-
ion of the Central railroad, has had
several experiences within the past few
days which show of what kind of stuff
men are made. The other afternoon,
while going along the road at lively
rate, between Bangor Junction and the
Bangor Superior quarry, he noticed an
object lying on the track between the
rails. He quickly applied the brakes
and by using every effort succeeded in
bringing the train To a standstill with
in n few feet of the object. Running
ahead it was found that the object on
the rails was a fiye-year-old boy fast
asleep On Saturday last by a similar
effort he stopped his train in time to
save an old woman and a girl who
were driving over the tracks.

LOOKING TOWARD MANILA.
Administration Preparing to Concentrate
n Great Naval Force There, Antioipst-
ing International Com pIioations.

Washington, July 27.-Tremendous
activity is observable in naval prepare
tions at this writing, although the
fact is not being advertised. Secre-
tary Long says that within a very
short time the American navy would
be in better condition than ever be-
fore, and that it would be In readi-
ness at a moments notice to meet any
emergency which might confront the
nation. 1t is to enable the country
to present rugged and impressive
front should there be a volcanic eli
max from the international complica-
ton later on, for it is idle to pre-
tend that the administration is entire
ly free from apprehension that there
may be need of a display of our full
strength. The concentration of for
midable fleets at the Philippines by
Germany, Russia, Japan and England
is not being viewed with unconcern
by the administration. Manila is re-
garded as the danger point. 1t is
there that trouble is to be looked for
first if we are to become involved in
an international row.

editorial yesterday morning, applaud
ing Spain for accepting the inevitable,
advises her to face the facts of the
political situation with the same frank
courage which secured the respect of
the Americans on the battlefield"
Discussing the probable terms of peace,
the Times says:
The United States will probably take Porto

be best for the world ut large I America boldly
undertook the burden Of giving CUBA and the
Philippines strong honest government

mitted TO reassumc sovereignty over the Phil

conquest, which might be attended with serl-
Gus consequences to American and other inter-

All of the morning papers agree that
it will be impossible for Spain to pay
indemnity, and that it is improbable
that the United States will demand
money compensation. They all agree
that the Spanish flag has gone forever
from Cuba and Porto Rico.

St Louis, July 27-A special from
Washington says that the war depart

IN volunteer regiments caused by
death, resignation or discharge after
being mustered into the United States

number of appointments made by Gov.

the governor after muster is Maj.

lice of Kansas City, to vacancy in
