Two young men, said to be from Law
ton, peddling through the country,
stopped in Bangor last Thursday night,
tying their horses to the wagon for the
night. The night was cold, and the
animals became uneasy and broke loose.
They wandered around town and in some
manner got on the north railroad bridge,
and evidently fell through. The north
bound morning freight struck them,
throwing one off into the pond, breaking
a leg. The other was torn into fragments
and scattered along the track from Ban
gor to Breedsville.- Bangor Advance.

is DEWEY In MANILA:
CABLE COMMUNICATION IS
OUT OFF FROM THE PHILLI-
PINES.

LITTLE DOUBT THAT DEWEY HAS TAKEN
THE CITY-THE SITUATION IN SPAIN sERI-
oUs-No FIGHTING YET AT HAVANA.
After the gallant fight and defeat of
the Spanish fleet at Manila, Commodore
Dewey demanded the surrender of the
Notifications and cable, which demand
was refused. 1t is thought the doughty
commodore made the threatened bonn
bardment and that he is now in posses
sion. Cable communication is cut off
Yesterday passed, according to Wash
ington dispatches, without single word
from the American feet in the Philli-
pines, and in view of the long continued
interruption in cable communication the
officials are beginning to resign them
selves to the belief that they must wait
for their official news until boat can
reach Hong Kong. Commodore Dewey
will be rear admiral as soon as he can be
reached by cable.
Special dispatch from Madrid says
the internal situation is causing the
| Spanish government almost as much un-
easiness as the external Demonstrators
Monday night openly showed revolution
airy tendencies, cheering Weyler and de-
manding Sagastas resignation.
A cabinet crisis is imminent. 1t
probably will end in considerable modi-
fication of the present government, and
possibly lead to the formation of ministry
under the presidency of Campos Parlia-
ment is certain to close soon.
The country opposes the idea of re-
public. 1t had enough of the republic
in 1873. Would prefer Don Carlos to
such a change.
Gems. Shafter, Fitzhugh Lee and Joe
Wheeler are said to be slated for ap-
pointment as brigader generals.
1t is reported the Oregon has orders to
lie off Rio and wait for the Temerario
and sink her.
A Key West special says: The block
aiding squadron is still catching small
fishing schooners. The Castine brought
in a master yesterday. The crew
of the tiny captive were badly frighten-
ed, but will not be held as prisoners of
war.
Gen. Joe Wheeler of Alabama will
command the volunteer cavalry if that
force is ordered to Cuba.
1t is reported that Gen. Fitzhugh Lee
will be sent as governor of the PHILIPPINES
while held by the United States.
The plans of the Cuban campaign are
being steadily developed and there is no
indication of change of purpose on the
part of the military authorities, who
are expected to land an expedtionary
force in Cuba in very short time. Ad-
miral Sampson, so far as the navy de-
partment lnows, is steadily maintaining
the blockade of the Cuban coast

A Statement Regarding the Troops

A Statement Regarding the Troops
att Santiago.
Washington, Aug. Tn proof of the
allegation that the war department
had bestirred itself to succor the I'M
fortunate army in Santiago before the
united protest was made the following
statement was given out by the secre-
tary of war regarding the shipment of
troops north from Santiago:
"Until quite recently it was SUP
posed that yellow fever was epidemic
in Santiago, and it was not believed
that it would be safe to send ship
loads north of men largely infected
with yellow fever The disease, it was
believed would rapidly spread on
shipboard and result in the death and
burial of many at sea. On the 18th
ult. the secretary of war telegraphed
to Gen. Shafter that as soon as the
fever subsidized the men of his com
mand would be moved north to a
camp that had been selected for them
on MOntauk Point. On the 30rh OF
July Gen. Shafter teleSraphed the sec
rotary of war that he had Informed
the troops they would be moved north
as soon as the fever had subsidized. and
it had Il very good effect on them
When the true condition was made
known an order was issued to Gen.
Shafter to move his command as rap
idly as possible, and all ships in the
QuarterRlaster's service possible to get
there would be sent, including the
Yale and Harvard. Over $50 surgeons
and number of immune nurses have
been sent to Santiago in addition to
the usual hospital corps that attends
such a brigade. There We're less
deaths by yellow fever at Santiago
than by typhoid fever in any camp Of
the same size in the United States.
Bustle mt Santiago.
Santiago, Aug. From the moment
Secretary Ayers cable message YVES
received ordering the instant removal
of the army north, everything has
been hustle and activity at headquar-
tiers. The transports here, six in num-
Der. have been ordered to discharge
their cargCes and to get ready Witheuf
loss of time to take on board the fifSt
shipments. Other transports are ey
pected here shortly, and it is expected
that eighteen transports will soCn he
conveying the soldiers back to the
United States. The Yale and Har-
ward, among others, are understood to
be on their way here.

DON'T FORCE RESISTANCE.
Sasasta Selves Orders Regarding
Porto Rico.

SaEasta -Gives Orders Regarding
Porto Rico.
New York. Aug. IA special cable
to the Herald from Madrid says: The
government has given orders that the
minister of war should not force re-
sistance in Porto Rico to the utmost.
This is at the instigation of Premier
Sagasta, who deplores any unneces-
sary loss of life, knowing that Porto
Rico will inevitably fall into the hands
of the Americans. Capt. Gen. Macais
has been instructed to obtain terms
like those obtained by Gen. Toral, or
better, so as to Sayev Spanish honor
as much as possible. One of the
greatest prescriptions of the govern
ment is regarding the return of the
garrisons in Cuba and Porto Rico.
The calculations made so far show
that it would have to contract with
the Compania Transatlantica for 200,
600 passages of different categories,
which would cost about 100000
pesetas. The gravey problem is that
here we have 100000 men returning
vanquished, and, therefore, i'll any
thing but a pleasant mood. With not
y
Sidered to form a serious danger to
social order. Speaking half-sarcastic-
ally, we'll known military authority
said it would be much cheaper for the
United States to pay the army in Cuba
to fight for them against the rebels
than to send American soldiers there.
An important parsonage Of the Carllst
party says the
CavJfsts WIFI Not Rise
until peace is declared, and if Spain
loses her colonies the Carlists will rise.
L am told by one who hears good
deal of the Carlist gossip that the fol-
lowers of Don Carlos have plenty OF
money, which has been singularly
lacking up to now. ''Where have they
got it fromg' l asked. .'From the
Frailes of the Philippines" The
Frailes are rich priests of the Philip
pines, who liyev life of luxury and
license. but they have at their back an
accumulated capital of forty millions,
which they are now making practical
use of to help the party which failing
the one now in power, they thing may
come to their rescue. The above state
ment. which was made quite seriously,
is scarcely creditable, but | have no
means at hand of affirming or contra
dieting it. 1t is a fact, however, that
the Carlists have found money, and
the worst feature of the affair to those
who wish well to Spain is that, well
armed, equipped, financed and with
promises such as they are pledged to,
it will be little snort of miracle if
trouble is avoided oil, to speak plainly,
if Carlist rising is nj red.

FOOD PRICES.
en-. Wood Is Compelled to Fix
Them Himself.

Santiago, Aug. Z. - Gen Wood viii
fix the price at retail of provisions IL
the market. Complaints in eyery
quarter of enormous charges for stuffs
by retailers forced him to take the
matter in hand, though he had hoped
the large cargoes recently landed and
the reduction in duties would soon
bring values down to normal figures.
Dealers still, however, force up the
prices, causing additional misery and
much complaint. Beef is retailed at
so cents a pound, 400 per cent over tha
true value, and prices Of other goods
are in proportion. Gen. Wool will
hold a conference with the merchants
and fix prices, with fair margin Of
profit, and promulgate an order.
