AGUINALDO
GROWS UGLY
He Causes American Forces
Some Trouble.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-The Times is in
receipt of dispatch from Cavite,
which says: 1t is becoming more
apparent daily that there are SER
ious complications ahead. The
Americans meyer made q greater mis-
take than in bringing Aguinaldo and
the insurgent leaders here and giving
them arms and ammunition for free
use from the Cavite arsenal. Aguin-
aldo, fearing annexation by the Amer
leans, openly opposes them.
Either he has been encourageG by
some foreign power, or he has false
notion of the strength of the Philip
pine revelation, failing to recognize
that their recent successes are due to
the concentration of the Spanish
strength at Manila, consequent upon
the presence of the Americans. He
has compelled the natives of the south
ern approaches to Manila to register
their bullocks and ponies, land instruct
ed the owners not to supply them to
the Americans for transportation with
out his sanction.
Brigadier-General Anderson prompt
ly adopted firm measures. warning
Aguinaldo that force would be used to
impress the means of transportation,
which were ultimately forthcoming.
Aguinaldo's attitude makes future op.
erations against Manila problematical.
Aguinaldo's forces encircle the city,
making daily and nightly attacks.
The Spaniards still hold toe whole of
the suburbs. Two miles behind Agui.
naldo's lines, south of Manila, 5000
American troops are encamped. The
are at Cavite. Aguinaldo
is understood to have objet ted to the
advance of the Americans to ground
by the'insurgents, forgetting
that his landing was effected by the
grace of the Americans.

UNUSED TO DIRECTORIES.
Difficulty of n Countrvman In Finding
Firms Address.

Difficulty of n Countryman in Finding q
Firms Address.
A countryman drifted into one of the
Main street railway Offices and said:
-The policeman outside thar told me
yuh had a direction book of the town
in here" The busy but polite clerl,
indicated the direc- ory, and the coun-
tryman stared. He opened it doubt
fully, says the Euffalo Commercial, and
turned q few pages. 'Name of every
body in town in here?" he ventured.
.'Guess so, pretty nearly" replied the
clerk, smiling. "They may have
skipped an odd name here and there,
but the skips are few" The country
man went back to his book and the
clerk to his work. After Is or 20 min
utes the clerk saw the countryman was
still puzzling over the dire ctory and
stepped over to where he stood. "What
name are you looking for?' he asked
Roberts Brothers" answered the rus
tic. The clerk glanced at the place
where the countryman was looking and
nearly had fit. The fellow had start
ed at the beginning of the book and was
following down the columns with his
thumb nail.

NO LANGUAGE NEEDED.

Instances Which Seem to Sustain ths
Contention of Certain Savants.
Those who contend we could get on
without a language may add another
story to prove their point, says the
Leeds Mercury. Everybody knows that
in many cases it is not the words used
but the manner of speaking which
makes the impression. Thus it was
that Daniel O'ConnelI was able to make
market dame rage and storm by call
ing her hypothenuse triangle. Some
Swedish ambassadors having to present
an address to Louis XVI, which they
had forgotten, recited the whole OF
their catechism, and that did just as
well. Prof. Drummond tells us in his
Tropical Africa" he was in similar
fix, and got out of it in similar way.
On one occasion four of his carriers
ran away. There were three others of
the same tribe in the company, and,
though the professor knew nothing of
their dialect, he determined to teach
hem lesson. beginning with few
general remarks on the heather, he
briefly sketched the. geology of Africa
and then broke into an impassloned de-
fense of the British constitution. The
three tribesmen trembled like aspens.
He concluded his reprimand by solemn
ly enunciating the 47th proposition of
Euclid, and the result of the awful adj
monition was that the men became
the most faithful he had.

PORTLAND NOTES.

PORTLAND, Aug. 2.-The market
here is over stocked with all kinds oi
fruit
The sale of small lot of wool is
reported, quotation private.
The big China steamer Mogul
started down the river at 1:30 this
morning.
Steamboat transportation to the
seaside is at premium. Every boat
goes out with the full line of pas.
sengers allowed by law.
The small boys of this city have
over stocked the China market with
carp, as they are being caught in
large numbers, and therefore the
price of carp in China town has
tumbled,

THE CUBANS
NOT SATISFIED
Will Protest Against the
Treatment Of Garcia,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Advices re-
ceived from Santiago state that Senior
Castillo has been ordered to proceed
to Washington with a protest from the
Cuban government at Puerto Principe
against the treatment of General Gar
cia by thea orleans.
The Cubans are dissatisfied with the
action of General Shafter in ignoring
Garcia, and feel that the Cubans have
not been treated fairly by the Amer
leans. They want their government
recognized and protest against Span
ish municipal officers being retained
in cities that have surrendered.

Probably Fatal Accident.

ALBANY, Aug. MAUD and May
Miller, daughters of Moses Miller, of
Albany, went to Sodaville Saturday on
their bicycles, to remain over Sunday.
Sunday morning they left the hotel on
their wheels, starting down the hill
west of the springs. In going down
the incline Mlss Maud lost control of
her wheel, and fell headlong to the
ground, striking upon her head and
shoulders. She was picked up in an

is feared the accident will terminate

Hon. Joseph Simon might want to pass

say the least, the object is somewhat
of conundrum.

Will Surrender as Soon as He Can Do

LONDON, Aug. "A special to the
Daily Mail from Hong Kong, dated
August !, says:
News has been received from Manila
that other American troops went to
the assistance of the rebels, who had
been expelled from their tire enches by
the Spauiards. The latter retired
before the American advance.
The rebels have been shelling Manila
from four guns on the south side of
the city.
Admiral Dewey has received word
from Captain General Augusti that he
is willing to surrender as soon as he
can do so honorably. It is believed
he will only make show of resistance.
Dewey expects to take the city with
out losing a single man. Should
Dewey and Merritt begin the attack,
Augusti will propose to capltulate on
these terms: The Spanish troops to
march out with the honors of war; the
soldiers and officials to be permitted to
return on parole to Spain, and an
assurance to be given that the lives
and property of Spanish residents will
be protected from naval attack.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.-E. Lewis,
of Circle City, Alaska, who came down
on the steamer Portland, bringing
over $25 900, states that only one out
of every ten claims around Dawson is
paying wages. Those that pay at all
are paying big money. On Eid',rado

miles of really rich ground, and on Bos
nanza creek, every foot of which ha-
been adverLised,as paying, there are
more than 20 miles of absolutely
worthless claims.

Ex-Commissioner Smith Talks of Their

PORTLAND. July 30-Ex-Commis-
sioner John M. Smith, of Alaska, is in
the city. Mr.. Smith denies each and
every charge that has been alleged
against him, and says that gang of
political pirates were after his scalp
and succeeded in getting it. He
further Gays that the whole trouble
arose over the gang who are engaged
in the liquor traffic contrary to the
laws of the United States, and who
are still running Alaska to suit them
selves. 1t is surprising, he says, as to
what political pull the Liquor gang
has, as it extends all the way from
Skagway to Washington. D. G. Mr..
Smith expects to return to Alaska

PORTLAND, Aug. 2.-Trouble has
again broken out among the politicians
who are attempting to dictate the
management of Portland municipal
government. The great political die
tator, Joseph Simon, and his Honor
Mayor Mason, are at outs. Mr.. Simon,
who is the owner of quite number of
tenement houses in the white chaple
district, which are rented and used as
dance halls, cribs, etc., Is in favor of
all night houses, and his tenants have
threatened to vacate unless Mr.,
Simon lives up to his promises made
fefore election, that they would not
be disturbed in their midnight brawls.
As it is they have been forced to close
promptly ]. A. M. Mr.. Mason, on the
other hand, declares he will live up to
his promises made in the religious
element and that there shall be no all
night houses. In the stand the mayor
has taken in the matter, it is under
stood he has the support of a majority
of the Police Board with him.
Several of the North End gin mills
have signified their intentions of
keeping open all night OH advice of
Mr.. Simon, and there will undoubted-
ly be razors flying in the air when the
attempt is made.
