II You Leave Home

for the summer, go where you will find a.
most, literally, a new world. Such a spot Is
Yellowstone Park. There is no place like it
in the world. You will be astonished at what
you see and learn there. Amonth's outing
in those mountains 1000 feet above the sea
level. in an atmosphere pure and invigor-
ating, would add years to your life. There
are four modern hotels, good roads-main-
tanned by the U. S. Government-for rid
ing. driving, or cycling; riding horses and
pack trains. Geysers, canyons, mud springs,
lakes. cataracts and cascades in large num-
bers, are crowded into a space 81 by 62
miles in size. If you can afford it, you
wrong yourself by not going there, especi-
ally if you are a patriotic American. II
you cannot afford it, then go to beautiful
1eech Lake in Minnesota, a new and popu-
lar resort. New hotels, fine fishing n
hunting, and good boating at reasonable
rates. Send Chas. S. Fee, of Northern
Pacific Railway, st. Paul, Mimi, six cents
for Wonderland IS, that describes by pen
and picture both resorts. Mention where

Calico's Four Hundredth
Anniversary.

Calico was first manufactured in Indie
in 1898, so that its use has been constant
for more than four hundred years.
William Simpson & Sons, most extensive man
ufacturers of this country, now produce the
best grade of this kind of goods possible to
the colors bright, clear and lasting. Deal:
ers as well as buyers recognize this fact, and
very wisely give them preference. Ladies
who have not worn them will do well tc
remember this, as the piece of calico which
bears the ticket upon which appear the
magic words William Simpson & Sons"
is not only the best that the world has pro.
duced for four hundred years, but is doubt:
years hence.

New YORK, Aug. IA special dis
patch from Manila, August Is, via Hong
Kong, to the New York Journal says:
FIVE American soldiers were killed
and about IS wounded in the capture of
Manila.
The Stars and Stripes were raised
over the city at $40 o'clock in the after
noon. In the bay Admiral Dewey's
feet Numbered a national salute.
A Combined Land and Naval Attack.
The combined naval and land forces
were employed in the capture of the
Spanish stronghold of the Philippines.
At nine o'clock in the morning the
signal to begin firing was set on Ad-
miral Dewey's flagship.
The authorities in the city and the
consuls of foreign powers had previ-
ously been notified of the intended
bombardment. For two hours great
shells were thrown.
Attacked the Enemy In His Trenches.
After the bombardment the troops
moved forward to attack the Span
iards in the trenches. There had been
no reply to Dewey's bombardment, but
the land forces met with a hot recep-
ton.
But the onward rush of the Amer
leans could not be stayed. With a loss
of five killed and over two score wound
ed. they drove back the Spaniards and
captured the trenches.
The White Flag was HOisted.
In q short time the white flag was
hoisted by the Dons and 1000 soldiers,
IL, 200 rifles and a great quantity of
ammunition were surrendered.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Il. - Admiral
Dewey's official announcement of the
bombardment and surrender of Mani.
la has been received as follows:
MANILA, Aug. Is.
To SECRETARY NAVY, WASHINGTON
Manila surrendered to-day to the
American land and naval forces, after
a combined attack. A division of the
squadron shelled the forts and il
trenchments at Malate, on the south
side OF the city, driving back the
enemy, our army advancing from
that side at the same time. The
city surrendered about five o'clock,
the American flag being hoisted by
Lieut.. Brumby. About 1000 prisoners
were taken. The squadron had no
casualties, none OF the vessels were in
jured.
On August :, Gen. Merritt and | form
ally demanded the surrender of the
city. which the Spanish goverror-gen-
eral refused.
lS!Enedl DEWEY.
Lieut.. Brumby is Admiral Dewey's
flag lieutenant.
As the Matter Now Stands.
Now that the surrender is officially
reported, it can be stated that Manila
is being held by virtue of the military
occupation and surrender, and not by
virtue of the protocol. The difference
is said to amount to little in practical
results, yet, such as it is, all Off
Gals agree that the occupation is
the result of the combined mil tary
and naval operations. According to
Admiral Dewey's dispatch, the surren-
der occurred about 5 p. IN. last Satur-
day. The peace protocol was signed at
4:23 p. N. on Friday. 1t is said
that the difference in time be-
tween Manila and Washington is
such that the surrender, reckoned
on Washington time, would be about
twelve hour ahead of the time at Ma
Mia. or about 5 a. m, Saturday. In
point of actual time, therefore. the
peace protocol preceded the actual sur
render of Manila by a few hours.
But it is a well established rule
of military law, accepted the world
over, that a peace armistice or cessa-
ton of hostillties, does not become
binding upon commanding officers un-
til they receive actual notice of it.
This rule is expressed in the United
States regulations governing armies in
the field.

The notification to Admiral Dewey
was not made public, but Assistant
Secretary Allen stated that, besides
being put in possession of the presi.
dents proclamation he was ordered tc
cease hostilities and raise the blockade
of Manila.
In compliance with the orders sent,
Admiral Sampson and Commodore
Remey will each send a vessel around
the coast of Cuba to notify the block.

been raised. Admiral Schley being on
