KNOCKOUT DROPS
Administered to Soldiers in the Low
 Dives of Jacksonville.

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 1S.-A number of soldiers frequenting some of the low dives of the city have been the victims of knock out drops within the past day or two. The sufferings of the soldiers while in this condition have been something awful, and 1t has taken half dozen or more to hold one of them while in their writhings. Rop- bery was the apparent motive, as none or the men had any money on them when found. The soldiers have been found in places where negro lewd characters are 10 be found, and the poison was undoubtedly administered by them. A colored saloon keeper was attacked by soldiers tonight, 1t being thought that he was responsible ana but for the prompt action of a provost guard, would have been seriously injured. Major Harrison, provost marshal, at once took such steps as were necessary to pre- vent further trouble.

WHITE CAPS
Tar and Feather Six Women and Three
 Men.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Aug. 1S.-About 25O or 300 men, disguised as white Caps,' wis., ited the house of Sadie Colson, near Smithfield, Wetzel county, and dragged the inmates, six women and three men, out of bed in their night clothes. No time was given them to get their clothes, money or valuables. The house was then blown to pieces with dynamite. The inmates were taken down Morgan's run and tarred and feathered and then taken to the Shuman house and all locked in room together until daylight.
 No apparent effort was made to discover who did the act and the popular sentiment is that nothing wrong was done. A piano player, who was caught In the house, says in his efforts to escape the white caps'' he recognized two or three of the most prominent citizens of Smithfeld. The Col ston woman is an -octoroon and was born in Clarksburg, and has been a keeper of disreputable houses in New York, Cincin- natl, Chicago and other places. She has q wide reputation for personal beauty.

ROUGH RIDERS DISCHARGED

New York, Aug. 1S.-General Joseph Wheeler tonight took comand at Camp Wikoff, at Montauk Point, succeeding General Young The event of the day out side of the arrival of General Wheeler, was the discharge of the Rough Riders and Colonel Roosevelt from the detention camp. There was not suspicion of seri- ous illness among the men and all were much improved by their stay in the camp. Colonel Roosevelt has been allowed the freedom of the camp since yesterday after noon, and last evening he conferred with a number of friends who made no secret that their mission was political.
 Colonel Roosevelt said today when asked what he thought of the political situation after reading the newspapers, which he had been doing with aparent great interest that his lips were sealed so far as politics was concerned by his uniform. While he wore thes uniform of the United States army he could not discuss politics or per-
 sonal matters for publication. Colonel Roosevelt visited the camp of the Rough Riders who had remained in Florida, while he and the others went to Santiago and was received with demonstrations of de- light.
 Colonel Roosevelt will leave the camp on Saturday for four days visit to New York.
 Sergeant Alfred N. Judson, of the Rough Riders, died today of typhoid fever. The body of J. Knox Green, the Rough Rider, who died and was buried since coming to Montauk, will be shipped later to Gonzales, Texas, where his mother resides.
 The remaining companies of the Seventy first New York came ashore today and went to the detention camp.
 Things are now getting into shape in the camp and there is more or less endless routine and total absence of the rush and hustle of the first few days in camp. The supplies are arriving rapidly and in order.

connection with bringing the extraordinary war expenditures to a close With the treasury well supplied for the early fu- ture, and with the power conferred upon the secretary to make temporary loans to further resort to bond issues seems a most remote possibility.
 This view is reinforced by the fact that with the operation of the new stamp taxes the revenues of the government will large ly exceed disbursements based upon or dfnary peace conditions. This increase In revenue ought to and will provide for an increase in war and navy expenditure, which no doubt will be witnessed even af- ter active military operations have ter minated. That enlarged expenditures for the navy and army over the past is neces- sary is most obvious, and 1t is matter of congratulation that by the wise action Of congress the government revenue has been put on broad and justified basis.

 Hong Kong, Aug 1s.-An American naval officer who has just arrived from Manila on the Zafiro gives the following story of the capture:
 "The Americans practically walked into Manila on Saturday. Any story of the Spaniards making a desperate resistance is untrue. Their defense was a mere sham, a formality.
 "All operations were confined to the south side of the city. After the ships had shelled the trenches and the fort for half an hour, almost knocking them to pieces, General Anderson signalled to cease firing. The troops then waded across the river, walked up the beach as if going to dinner, meeting practically no opposition, and took the first trench. The Spaniards retired into the second line. The ships shelled this for quarter of an hour more. The Spaniards then retired into the walled city, and few minutes later white flag was raised and the fleet moved oyer toward the old city. The American troops marched on, leaving squads here and there along the route.
 When the ships reached the city they found launch waiting with white flag raised. All was over.'

Dewey Asked to Report.

Special Dispatch to The Age Herald.
 Washington, Aug 18.-The navy depart ment today ordered Dewey to report at once on the removal of August from Ma na on the Kaiserin Augusta. Both the state and navy departments regard the in- cident from information now at hand as a very grave one. Before making an official demand of Germany for an explanation, an official report is desired from Dewey. At present the chances are very largely in fa- vor of Germany being asked to explain the incident if she does not take the initia- tive herself and clear her skirts of the im- putation that she exceeded not only the bounds of international courtesy, but was actually guilty of an infringement of the law of nations.

 serious ministerial crisis has arisen. The Fremdenblatt the organ of Count Golouchwsky, the Austrian minister of for eign affairs, published. an official com munique today. whereupon the ministry of the interior, over which Count Won Thun Hohensteiu presides. issued a note to all the papers disavowing the Fremdenblatts comuniQue.

Washington, Aug. 1S-It is the opinion of the officials of the treasury department that there will be no necessity for another bond issue growing out of the war, and that the present revenue law, with possibly slight modification, should be retained on the statute books for an indefinite period.

THE IDEA OF INTERVENTION

Paris, Aug. 1S.-The main position in the far east is attracting great attention. The Soliel says:
 i"The Americans will quadruple the value Of the Philippines and Manila will become the rival of Hong Kong. The United States will have a preponderant situation in Chinese waters. There is no market they desire more eagerly than the Chinese and though they have been forstalled by other powers, they will assuredly overtake their rivals by the rapidity of their pro- gress in that region and in the coming breaking up of the Chinese empire the United States will not be content with the worst fortunes for their heritage"
 The Temps, while congratulating France upon the role of peacemaker, recognizes the fact that 1t Is not always a good thing to put a finger between the hammer and the anvil.
 The Temps says: 'The United States will not hear a word of intervention and France has no interSsts in compromising herself gratuitously fwith a country evil dently destined for Ia more active part in great International faffairs.

Didn't Know of the War

New York, Aug. 1S.-Two American ships which sailed from the Pacific coast early in the spring arrived at this port today, having been all the intervening time on the sea, without once being reported and probably oblivious to the fact that war was on and a great surprise. The war began and was terminated within the space of their voyage. The vessels are the ship Charmer, of 1.72S tons, Captain Harvey, which sailed from San Francisco on April 23 and the bark Guy c.
