Outside of the Spanish colony in Ma
Mia there is little care for the fashions as
they change from season to season in
Europe and America. The same material
and cut does in summer and in winter
and in the dry. There is never any frost
and never occa sion for furnaces or open
fires Except for cooking there is plenty
of heat in the atmosphere the year
around.
Men wear white duck suits, WITH thin
flannel o.. silk underwear, no linen snirt
or collar, white pith helmets, and white
canvas shoes the year round. The Span
iards and the Spanish half-castes go In
for style little more. The Spaniards
are naughty and fond of displaying their
uniforms of blue or white and their gold
trimmings. The half castles. or Mestiza,
are equally fond of display, but their at
tire is something of a compromise be-
tween European and Chinese modes.
Besiues the one year out of seven that
all foreign employees of the great mercan-
tile houses represented in Manila have
given to them as "home leave" there is
months vacation every year, a regular
holiday each month, and all the saints
days, and Spanish, French, English, Ger
serve saints day in Manila is sinful,
and everyone holds such sinfulness in
especial detestation. Figuring in all the
saints days, Sundays and general holt
days, there are 1919 days in each year when
these people do not work.
Clerks earn from $500 to $4,000 year,
besides having lodgings found, mess al
lowance, medical attendance and travel
ling expenses. In many cases their rooms
are over the offices. They work from day
light to noon, rest two or three hours,
and then work till 5 O'Clock, but they
have much freedom in choosing their
hours and are hurried only on mail days
There are many excellent bands In Ma
Mia, and open-air concerts are given
every evening in fair weather. Theatri
cal companies, both native aud foreign,
play through the season. The Mestia
chorus girl is alluring. In the cathedral
and the churches the music is always
good, though it is startling to the new
conner to hear, as he will Ia some SER
vices. Gloria from "Irovatore, the
Credo with music from "Barbiere,'' and

THE cAPITULAT.loN.
Washington Explanation of the Situation
in the Philippines.
MERRITT.

Washington, August 2n.-The official
announcement of the terms of capitalization
agreed upon at Manila reached the wal
department this afternoon in despatch
from Major General Merritt. 1t was the
notification, officially, of the nature of the
stipulations and embraced the complete
terms in six articles. There is considera-
BILE difference of opinion as to the exact
significance of the terms of capitalization,
but the best opinion obtainable tonight
construed the language to embrace all
Spanish possessions in the Philippines
and not Manila alone. While the preamble
specifically cites the functions Of the COM
mission to determine the details of capitu-
lation of the city and defenses Of Manila
and it's suburbs and the Spanish forces
stationed therein 1t is pointed out that
the word s'suburbs' is an elastic express
sion and the language of article one stat
ing that the Spanish troops, both the
European and the native capitulate
with" the city and dsfenses. goes to
emphasize this construction. This is the
view expressed by war officials. One
unusual provision is embraced in the
reference to the return of surrendered
arms, the article providing for the return
when the Spanish evacuate "or the Amer
lean army evacuates.
This. however, is formal expression,
and Secretary Alger tonight showed that
there need be no alarm on that score by
his statement 'There is no thought of the
Americans evacuating.'
surrender will have to be finally deter
mined by the President, though there is
no doubt that he will approve whatever
AGREEMENT General Merritt makes. The
arms make no reference to the harbor
and strictly provide for land occupations.
admiral Dewey, however, has made no
renort ofthe terms.
