STAMP SUPPLY WAS SHORT.
BANKS HAD ONLY FOUR DOLLARS
WORTH OF THEM
When the New War Tax Measure
Went into Effect Friday. Those
1t Will Affect in Dawson.

To stamp or not to stamp is the mo-
mentous question that has puzzled the
average Dawson business man since Fri
day.
The new revenue law requiring special
stamps on all forms of commercial and
legal papers became operative Friday,
and there were many who were uncer-
tain whether it affected them or not.
ALI bank checks, beginning with that
day, required revenue stamps, and it
seemed at one time that business would
be retarded because of the inability of
the banks to procure tae stamps. Ev-
erybody everywhere was ''short" on war
stamps The bankers kept the wires hot
Thursday and finally secured $500
worth OF them in Atlanta, which were
divided between the two banks of the
city. Both banks have since received a
supply, and their customers can draw"
upon deposits now as often as they feel
inclined to pay Uncle Sam for the privi-
lege OF using their own money.
While a multitude Of articles come
within the provisions OF the new law,
the following brief schedule includes
those upon which people of Dawson
will pay the tax principally exclusive of
liquors, cigars, tobacco, etc.

debtedness, per value 800, a tax of 5
cents.

ANOTHER CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
Prominent Senator Thinks That 1t Will
Soon Be Made.

A press dispatch from Washington
says: A we'll known senator, who was
with the president today, and who is
one of the president close advisers, said
be believed that there would be a call
for more volunteers very soon but doubt
ed if as large a number as 10000 would
be asked for. he thought that there
would be no definite conclusion yet. He
pointed out that the war is assuming
larger proportions than was expected,
and undoubtedly sooner or later large
number of troops would be required.

MANILA REPORTED CAPTURED

This morning a report comes from
Madrid to to the effect that Manila
has surrendered to Admiral Dewey
and that the Americans are believed
to be in possession of the city.
The city was bombarded by Admi
raj Dewey and attacked on land by
$4,000 American troops and 10000
insurgents under Aguinaldo.
The report says Captain General
August with 10000 Spanish troops
made a desperate resistance but
finally surrendered but would only do
so to an American general or Admiral
Dewey.
Late last night the War Depart
ment had not been advised as to the
correctness of this report.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1898-07-28

tore her structure above the armOr
belt almost into shreds, while the
6-pounders made it too warm for men
to stand at the guns. The Texas got
in a few 6-inch shots and the Iowa
landed a couple of 4-inch shells. No
13 or 12inch shells struck her.
The Infanta Maria Teresa, the flag
ship, of the same build as the Vizcaya,
was badly punished and was the only
one OF the four ships hit by - or 49,
inch projectiles. She has two of that
size clean through her. and the posi-
ton of one would tend to demonstrate
that it was fired by the Texas. An
S-inch shell, undoubtedly from the
BROOKLYN, because she was the only
ship in line with the Maria Teresa s
ssgle' a as she turned west, entered Just
forward of the beam on the port side
and, exploding inside, cleaned out the
deck with four gun crews. This is the
shot that Cervera said came from the
Brooklyn and set fire to the ship. The
Teresa's great difficulty, and one that
compelled her to surrender, was that
all her fire mains We're cut and she was
unable to extinguish the fires that
were driving her men from the guns.
The Almirante Oquendo, armored
crusier, same class as Vizcaya and Ter
esa, went through the most terrible
ordeal of any of the ships except the
torpedo-boat. Her upper works were
one ragged mass of cut-up steel and
her decks were covered with dead and
dying. She was hit on the port side
four times by eight-inch shells, three
times by four-inch shells, probably
from the Iowa, two times by six-inch
and AZ times by 6-pounders. The innu-
merable number of one-pounders that
struck her show that she met the fire
of the entire fleet as she turned last
out of the torpedo-boats that followed
her aud the secondary-battery shots
intended for them hit her. When she
turned to the shore it was in a dilapi-
dated condition. One of the findings
of the board of survey was that an
6-inch shell had struck the forward
turretjustwhere the gun-opening was,
and that every man in the turret was
killed, the officer standing in the firing
hood being still in that position. An
other fact learned was that the torpe-
doesin some of the ships were already
loaded in the tubes and prepared to
fro -

boats over to the Spanish gunboat,
that of the Topeka being under com
mand of Lieutenant Niblack, the
former Naval Attache at Berlin,
Vienna and Rome. They found that
the Jorge Juan's forecastle had been
entirely nipped away by the Topeka 5
fOur-inch shells, and that her fore and
mizzen masts and flag staff We're car
ried off. 1t is thought that the Span
iards scuttled her before abandoning
the vessel.
Divers were sent down, and quite a
curious collection of relics was found.
One was the ships motto:
Be brave and you will go home to
Spain"
They also brought up gun sights
and swabs, signal flags and hundred
other memOntos of the engagement,
which were distributed among the
officers and men of the victorious
ships.
-Four or five cats, still alive, were
clinging to the wreckage, and one
dog, which had been chained to the
deck, was drowned. That part of the
rigging which protruded from the

attempted to renew the battle with
the Americans, but were driven into
the sea.
The harbor was found to be we'll
mined, and two of the mines exploded
one about 100 yards off the Topeka S
bow and the other 200 yalds from her
port quarter. As the ships came out
they saw a contact mine floating on
the surface of the water.
The Topeka, which had borne the
brunt of the fighting, brought the
news here, arriving this morning
Her Captain is VIM. S. Cowles, a bro
ther-in-law of Col. Theodore Roose-
welt.
The Jorge Juan was a three-masted
One-funneled ship of $50 tons and 100
horse power. She was 203 feet long,
50 feet wide and 12 feet draft. She
carried a crew of 146 men and had 100
tons of coal. Her battery was heavier
than the Topeka's, the biggest of the
four attecking American ships, con-
sisting of three 4.7 Hontorias, two rs
krupp guns and two machine guns
Nipe harbor is 20 miles long and 10
miles wide. 1t is surrounded by
mountains, and is admirably adapted
as base for any campaign.
The Topeka on her way into this
port passed the Terror, Puritan and
Montgomery, heading for Nipe.
