EVERYTHING QUIET.
No Danger of Collision With the
Insurgents.

London, Aug. 22-The Manila CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph, in a
dispatch dated Sunday, says: General
Merritt has proclaimed government
of military occupation. The news of
the armistice arrived on the 18th. 1t is
feared that the Americans may restore
the Philippines to Spain and thus re-
inaugurate a fresh period of tyranny,
eXtortion and rebellion.
The Americans found $500 in the
Spanish treasury.
Foreign opinion is loud in praise of
the action of the American commander
in excluding armed rebels from the
city. 1t is bI ieved his firmness saved
Manila from pillage.
A week ago there appeared to be a
possibility of collision with the rebels,
but there is no danger now. Everything
is cuiet.

London Times CrtclSeS the Utter
ances of Premier Sagasta.
London, Aug 22.-The Times this
morning, commenting upon Senior Sa-
gasta's utterances published in FL I'm
parcial, of Madrid, expresses the opin-
ion that too much stress should not be
laid upon them, but admits that talk
ing of the fate of criminals, etc.. in
Cuba seems to approach trifiing with
the main issue.
THE reference to Spanish property
in Cuba" the Times says, would i'm
ply that the United States cannot be
trusted to observe the dictates of
equity and good sense. To enter upon
negotiations in this carping spirit viii
not induce to a speedy conclusion of
them. In fact, altogether Spain appears
to be raising rather absurd conten-
lions"

many. The ship was carefully inspect
ed by a board of officers and DR.. Ives,
a member of the board, states it was
not overcrowded. Accommodations for
officers were, however, somewhat de-
ficjent. The large number of deaths
can probably be accounted for by the
fact that this brigade took nearly all
their sick with them; greatest care has
been taken in this respect. Transports
have been loaded with from 200 to 300
men less than the same ship brought

Fayette County Commissioners win
Pay No More Honey for Scalp Pre-
miumS.
UN1oNTowN, July 25.-The commits
sioners OF this county have decided to
pay no more scalp premiums pending
a decision of the supreme court on the
scalp law, which is now being consid-
cred by that body. They were in
duced to take this action by the ex-
cessive abuse of the law which has
been carried on here for the last wear
or more, resulting in heavy drain on
the county treasury. 1t has been
learned by the commissioners that
several hunters and trappers who re-
side in the mountains along the Mary
land and West Virginia line have de-
voted themselves exclusively To the
work OF killing foxes. minks and 9TH
er animals for the premium money.
and have found the business exceed
ingly profitable. Some, il has also
been learned, have made good living
by raising pet foxes and minks for the
premiums. Some of the scalps brought
to the commissioners Office are from
extremely Young animals, presumably
those raised as pets. 1t is also said
Maryland and West Virginia hunters
have been reaplng large portion of
the harvest here by representing their
game as having been killed in this
state. As much as $50 day has
been paid out here for scalp premiums,
and the abuse became so notorious
that a check had to be put on It.

The ditch across Main at the cor
ner of Main and Walnut has caused
great deal of inconvenience but it
had to be put in that way A CON
nection had to be made between
two pipes and in order to do so the
pipe on Walnut had to be lowered
for some distance. In order to get it
lowered the street had to be dug up
long way. This in turn INSTRUCTED
the street and impeded travel but
the whole thing was work of necessi-
ty which could be done in no other
manner.
