MANILA HAS
SURRENDERED
1t Gave Up After a Bonn
bardment Sunday.

HONG KONG, Aug. 16.--It was ru-
mored here last night that Manila had
surrendered, but no information was
obtainable from the Spanish consul.
GovernOr-General Augustin refuses to
spe k. The German consul was called
upon, and he informed the correspOn-
dent that the outskirts of Manila were
ombarded by the Americans, and
that the city had surrendered. No
damage was done to the city proper,
only the outskirts being BON barded
The date of the bombardment was un-
known to the German consul, who re-
fused to say more.
General AugusUin told a lady that
Admiral Dewey demanded the sur
render of Manila in an hour. The
Spaniards declined to surrender, and
Dewey began the bombardment, and
the Spaniards hoisted a white flag.
General Augustin Immediately jumped
into German launch, which was in
waiting, and went to the Kaiserin
Augusta, which sailed before the bonn
bardmenJ was concluded. The bnm-
bardment occurred on the 18th.

Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.

The delinquent taxes of Wasco
county, as shown on the rolls now in
the hands of the sheriff, are $780, 900, an
amount almost equal to the indebted
ness of the county. Every citizen will
doubtless admit that this state of
affairs should not exist, and that all
taxes should be collected. On account
of hard times ia the past the county
court has shown leniency to taxpayers.
but that leniancy has reached the
limit, and the court cannot wait longer
on delinquents to make settlement.
For this reason warrant has been at
tached to each delinquent roll COM
manding the sheriff to collect all taxes
by seizure and sale of property. With
the bodntiful crops now in sight, there
can no longer be any reasonable ex-
cuse for the non-payment of taxes.
The sheriff is bound under oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec-
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can
save the cost of seizure and sale of
properly by settling their taxes 1t

Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco County

Ii the report of General Augustin
be true, and its accuracy is not ques-
TONED here, the proba bilities are that
Official dispatches will be received by
the government in day or two at the
latest.
The flight of General Augustin from

it, Had he maintained his position,
hard as it was, until the arrival of the
news of peace. he would have been a
hero: but he fled. and he will now be
branded as a coward"

SUSTAINED BY THE COURTS.
The Validity OF the mississippi Election
Law is Declared.

The Validity OF the mississippi Election
Law is Declared.
AS was expected, the United States
supreme court has sustained the valid
ity of the Mississippi election law.
This law was enacted for the purpose
of ''suppressing" by legal methods the
illit-rate negro vote OF the state, and
imposes among other qualification
rigid educational restriction. The re-
suit has been to disaualify the majority
of the negro voters of the state and to
assure white supremacy in state and
lo:al administrations. The supreme
court of tbs United States holds that
as the election law applies to illiterate
whites as we'll as to the ignorant color
ed voters, the restriction imposed by
the statute are within the field of per-
missible action under the limitations
imposed by the federal constitution.
Since Mississippi revised its constitu-
tiou and enacted a new election law,
South Carolina has taken equally
effective measures TO restrict the negro
vote, and Louisiana will soon be in
line, The supreme court has indicat-
ed the way in which the southern
states can solve the problem of their
local governments. Similar measures
may not be necessary, however, in
other states, in most of which the
negro population is considerably less
than that of the whites.

RAILROAD OVER a LAKE.
A Curious Freak on Portion of the

A Curious Freak Portion of the
Columbia s. Astoria Road.
a railroad built over a lake. Such
is practically the condition of portion
of the Columbia & Astoria line, so
miles from oftland, says the Tele-
gram, whore small chunk of the road
sank Saturday night. The passengers
were transferred around the gap. A
large gang of men who were put TO
work ere th!5 time will have repaired
the road.
The sinking of the road vas curious.
1t happened near Clatskanie. At this
point the road skirts the end of bog
OR marsh. Saturday evening when
the last train vent over the place it
was perfectly level. Sunday morning
a chunk of the road 200 feet long, had
sunk to depth of SIX or eight feet. A
train passing after the sinking would
have been telescoped.
Some of the officials say that there
is lake underneath the bog. The
sod and grass has formed bridge
above they tAink.
Such happenings in railroad building
are not new by any means. In North
ern California the Southern Pacific
crosses bog which has no bottom.
Pilas have been driven in out of sight,
Tons and tons of Rock have been
dumped into the place without avail.
Time and again grades have been
buiiG across the place, only to COM
pletely disappear IN night. Finally
the expedient of building floating pom
toons had to be resorted to. In Michi-
gpn is another place of similar nature.
