AN INCIDENT OF THE CAPTURE
OF MANILA.
First California Band in Water to
Their Waists and the Battle Raging,
Strike Up This Tune.

John o. Knight, the Examiner cor
respondent, who is returning from
Manila on the Valencia, has an inter
esting souvenir of his stay there in
pass written and signed by Aguinal-
do. 1t is written on ordinary white
paper in the Tagalo language, and is
dated July ), 1898. At the top is a de-
vice put on with a rubber stamp,
much like the postmark on letter.
The words of the device are "E. Agui-
naldo. Gubernator Dictatorial" The
translation and signature of the pass
are as follows:
THE bearer of this is an American.
named Senor John o. Knight. He
may wander many miles into the
country. Lay no impedment in his
way. and if he is hungry feed him.
'E. AGUINALDO,
"Auguste Dictator"
Mr.. Knight tells an interesting Incl
dent in connection with the capture
of Manila, August 18th. The little
gunboat Callao came up within $50
yards of the Malate fort on the beach
just where Malate river flows into
the bay. From here she opened with

time came for the advance by the ar
my. the First Colorado lead across the
Malate river to occupy the fort and
entrenchments on the beach, while
the First California followed and took
| the advance up the single street of
Malate to Manila.
In the excitement of the moment
| the First California band got ahead
of the troops and crossed the river in
advance. The water was waist deep.
| but Just as the members of the band
! got into the middle of the street they
| struck up the tune "Therell be Il Hot
| Time i'm the Old Town Tonight" I'm
mediately the soldiers all along the
! line took it up and sang ii as they
made the advance.
The street through Malate had beer
barrcaded by the Spaniards. but over
these barricades the First California
threw themselves driving the Span
iards back. At the same time they
were the targets for the Spanish
sharpshooters concealed i'm the
/ houses.
So rapid was the advance of the
California troops that detachments o
the Spaniards were left TO right and

troops reached the Lunetta. at the enc
of the Malate street, the white flag
went up over the walls of the city
and the troops rested arms just out
side. One of the detachments of Span
iards that had thus been accidentally
fanked, seeing the Americans on tn,

WHY NOT BUY A sINGERq

You wan" sewing machine? Then
why not buy singer; there has been
more of them sold than any other
make. They wear longer, run light
er and do better work than any other
make. They have never been a cut
price machine, the workmanship on
the Singer will not admit of cut prl-
ces. A few dollars in the original
cost between a good machine and a
poor one counts for nothing. b. Ber,

No War Stamps.

The war revenue tax went into effect
yesterday on all articles effected with the
exception of beer and tobacco, which came
under the operation of the law two weeks
ago. The national bank is the only party
in town that the collector has SO far author
lied to handle the stamps and yesterday no
stamps had come to handle. This caused
the asking of great many questions and
no little inconvenience in business circles.
These stamps must be attached to large
number Of articles that pass in the ordinary
course of business, such as express pack
ages, money orders, checks, deeds, ETC.,
but the full scope Of the law does not seem
to be understood by any one. The govern
ment seems to have been unable to supply
the country with the stamps by July 1, but
no doubt all difficulty will be adjusted in a
few days. Explicit instructions and stamps
are what is wanted just now. The various
business organizations received word yes
terday to continue business after the old
style until the collector could get supply

CONDITIONS FAVORABLE.

Port Antonio, JAM, June 2S.-Aside
from the energetic attack of the Span
iards on the first American camp estab-
lished in Cuba nothing has astonished
the inhabitants of Camp McCalla in
Guantanamo, and indeed the squadron
generally, so much as the present long
dry interval in the midst of what was
supposed to be Cubas rainy season.
Inc cuban auxiliar1es say this is the
usual thing for this vicinity, and proph-
esy no more rain till the first of August
ushers in the hurricane season. Thew
say there is little or no rain along the
low hill area on the southeast coast ex.
cept in May and August.
All reports from inland agree in pic
turing the Spanish situation as desper-
ate. The Cubans infest Santiago and
Guantanamo so closely that even dis
patches between the two are captured
ottener than they set through. Even
then the replies are usually gathered in,
and the tone of both appeal and reply
shows that Spanish hopes are steadily
sinking. The military governor of San
tiago made peremptory demand three
days ago on Guantanamo'fo for food and re-
Inducements. The captured reply de-
spondently stated that Guantanamo is
worse off than Santiago, and nothing can
be sent. The Cubans watch every creek
and cross-road, gathering in Spanish
courlers and bringing them in to Nc
Gala or Sampson.
AT Camp McCalla there is one big
negro, called by the marines "Old
Machete" for his fondness for the Cuban
national weapon. He has with him his
little boy, the only one of his family left
All the rest, even to his nieces, have been
butchered by the guerillas In action
the old man becomes half mad with ex-
element drops his gun at the first
.chance for close quarters and uses his
big machete like a fail.
