Spain Hears of Surrender,

Madrid, Aug. 1.-THE government
has been notified by the Spanish consul
at Hong Kong of the surrender of Ma
nita-
1t is not yet aware of the manner in
which the surrender was effected.
1t is now known, from semi official
sources, that the government knew
yesterday that Manila had capitulated
on Saturday, after General Jandemes
had taken over the command from Gen
eral AT Istin and the latter had been
authorized to quit his post and to em-
bark on a foreign warship for Hong
Kong.
Manila apparently capitulated be-
cause of lack of food, the population
and garrison having suffered the great
est privations.
The cabinet has decided to order Cen
eral Blanco and all other Spanish gen
erals in the Antilles to remain at their
rsspective posts until the evacuation is
soInpleted.
General wesley Merritt, 1t Is reported
heTe, took the greatest precautions in
orfter to prevent the insurgents from
interfering with the capitulation of Ma
MIA or approaching the city.
The Manila press fears that tho sur
render may affect Spain's position in
the negotiations for the future govern
m6ht of the Philippines.

Waiting for the News,

Washington. Aug. 1.-THE informa-
ton contained in Consul Wildman's s
brief message aroused intense interest,
but created no surprise among those
officers who received 1t. For two or
three days news of the fall of Manila
had been expected. The last dispatches
received from Admiral Dewey and Gem
eral Merritt indicated that it was their
purpose to force surrender of the city
as soon as possible.
1t was believed that they Joined in
note to General 4tugustin, demanding
The surrender of Manila and threaten
ing to make a combined sea and land
attack upon the city unless the demand
was acceded to.
AS soon as the protocol was signed
last Friday afternoon dispatches were
sent to both Admiral Dewey and Cen
eral Merritt via Hong Kong. On Satur-
day the British steamer Australian left
Hong Kong for Manila bearing the dis
patches from this government.

Apples for the Complexion.

The secret of bad complexion is
often bad digestion we frequently
trace that to an inactive liver. Diet
ing is the most valuable means of
cure; one of the best remedies for a
sluggish liver is cheap and pleasant.
The best liver regulator for people of
sedentary habits-and those are chief
ly the ones whose compilations are
muddy-is to be found in apples,
eaten baked If they are not we'll di-
gested when eaten raw. A physician
once told me that he attended the
pupils of well-known boarding school,
and among them was a country girl
whose complexion was the envy of all
her associates. He found that she
was very light eater at her meals,
but that she had a peculiar custom of
taking plate of apples to her little
study in the evening and eating them
slowly as she prepared her lessons.
This was her regular practice. Some
of the other girls in the school took it
up, and the doctor stated that, as a
result of his personal investigation, he
found that the apple-eating girls had
the best compilations of any in tie
school.

COMMISSIONERS NAMED.
Those for Porto Rico and Cuba Chosen bs
the President.

the President.
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE president
has appointed the two commissioners
to adjust the details of the evacuation
of Cuba and Porto Rico under the
terms of the peace protocol. They are
as follows:
For Cuba: Major General James r
Wade, Rear Admiral William T. Sanip-
son. Major General Matthew C. Butler.
For Porto Rico: Major General John
r. Brooke, Rear Admiral Winfield S.
Schley, Brigadier General William w.
Gordon.
This list Is In line with the latest of
the premature guesses at its compost
ton. With the exception OF the name
of General William Washington Cor
don, the other commissioners have been
SO much in the public eye Of late that
little needs to be said about them. Cen
eral Gordon Is, however. probably the
presidents personal choice, and his ca
reer las many points OF interest. He
is native of Savannah, Ga, and a
graduate of Yale, where he was a
classmaIte of Judge Henry E. Howland
of New York and of Stewart L. Wood
ford. On receiving his degree he re-
turned home and entered business az
cotton merchant. He entered the Con-
federate army May 1, 1861. and served
till the close of the war. first as n liz -
tenant in Stewards cavalry in Virginia.

the interval since then he has served
six years in the Georgia legislature and
been senior officer of the state militia,
in that capacity commanding his troops

prominent member of the Savannah
Benevolent Association, is vice presi-
dent OF the Merchants National Bank,
and ex-presdent of the Cotton Ex-
change OF Savannah and was a dele
gate to the Indianapolis sound money
convention.
At the outbreak of the present war,
when the best military appointments
were going to civilians here and there,
the Georgia delegati ton In Congress de-
cided to invest their share of the pat
ronage in another man. The president,
however, regardless of this action, ap-
pointed Gordon a brigadier general on
the strength of his personal record.
The general declined the honors Of

The success of this effort depends

response thus far, has been sufficient
to justify our belief in the ultimate
success of the plan.

Augustin's Escape.

Hong Kong. Aug. 17.-It was rumored
here last night that Manila had sur
rendered, but no news was obtainable
from the Spanish consul.
The officials of the Manila cable are
anxiously awaiting permission to re-
pair.
A cable steamer is now at Singapore
awaiting instructions.
Governor General Augustin refused
to speak. The German consul was cal
led upon and he informed the corre-
spondent that the outskirts of Manila
were bombarded by the Americans and
that the city surrendered. No damage
was done to the city proper only tn,
outskirts being bombarded. The date
of the bombardment' was unknown 10
the German consul, who refused to
say more.
General August!n told a lady that
Admiral Dewey demanded the surren-
der of Manila in an hour. The Span
iards declined to surrender and Dewey
began the bombardment and the Span
iards hoisted white flag.
General Augustin Immediately jump

Washington, Aug. 17.-Further par
ticulars in regard to the fall of Manila
announced yesterday are as follows:
General Merritt has telegraphed that
Manila has surrendered and that the
American flag flies over the city.
He gives no details.
The cabinet yesterday was informed
# Consul Wildman's dispatch to the

Ial of General Augustin at Hong Kong
Ind the rumored surrender of Ma
nila.
Later the short dispatch came from
General Merritt confirming the news
azd announcement that the American
fias was flying over the city, but no de-
tails were given.
There was great satisfaction express
seS1 among the members of the cabinet
at the news, and at the ract that Ma
niIa had fallen before the peace proto-
col had been signed or known at Ma
Mia.
The capture of Manila as a cabinet
officer expressed it, greatly simplifies
the work of the peace commission and
places the United States In a better po-
sition than before to demand the ces-
sion of enough territory to enable us

To Punch Passengers Faoss.

Exceedingly odd transfer tickets
have just taken effect on all the lines
of the United Traction Company, at
Reading. AT the top of the transfer
to the right there are seven faces in
closed in circle about one-half inch
in diameter. The first lace is that of
young man, clean shaven. Next is
one wearing mustache, then comes
the portrait of one having side
whiskers. Another has full-grown
beard, and the next has small beard.
The last two faces are of women, one
being young and the other somewhat
advanced in years. Now when the
conductor issues transfer the idea is
that he shall size up the recipient and
"punch" any one of the above faces
that he or she resembles. This will
be done to make sure of enforcing
the rule tina. ''transiers are not trans
ferable."

Them Into Camp
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 1S.-General
Shafter to-day ordered the Second vol
unteer regiment of iminunes to leave
the city and go into camp outside. The
regiment had been placed here as a
garrison to preserve order and protect
property.
There has been firing of arms inside
the town by members of this regiment
without orders, SO far as known; some
of the men have indulged in liquor un-
til they verged upon acts of license and
disorder; the inhabitants in some quar-
ters have alleged loss of property by
force or intimidation, and there has
grown up feeling Of uneaslness IL not
alarm.
General Shafter has therefore, order
ed this regiment to the hills, where
discipline can be made more severely
rigid.
