Yacht Keeps Her Civil Name.

Because Of historic associations Of the
name Dorothea the government decided
to make an exception In its usual practice
of changing the names Of private yachts
acquired for war service, and the Dorothea,
lately purchased from the Thomas Nc.
kean estate will remain the Dorothea.
In 1919 clipper ship of that name was
purchased by Mr. Clapier and utilized in
the China and West India trade. During
the second war with Great Britain she
was long overdue and had been given up
as captured by the British when she sailed
into port with her valuable cargo intact.
With the proceeds Of this venture Mr.
Clapier bought large tract Of land In
Germantown, erected country house and
for a weathervane on the big barn he
placed model Of the Dorothea under full
sail The property is now known as Fern
Hill and was purchased by Henry Pratt
Mexican In ls4e. 1t descended to Thomas
McKcan, who looked up the history of tho
wcathervane, and when his yacht was
launched he named 1t Dorothea as good
omen. Tho government has decided to
acquire what good luck may be contained
In the name, and she will fight as an aux.
Hilary gunboat under the name of Dorothea.

London, July 25.-A special despatch
from Madrid says that General Augusta,
Captain General Of the Philippines, has
autographed to the Cover nment as follows:
"The Americans are aoout to attack

b. The last advices from Dewey were that
our tro ops had taken the field, some having
moved to Peranaque, two miles from tho
citadel. Gen. Greene was in command.
Tho news dispatches from Hong Kong

would not wait for General Merritt. but
would demand surrender Of the city, and
in case of refusal would begin the attack
by the end Of Tho week.
This would be on Friday or Saturday. 1t
is possible TINT our troops may have ent.

As Augustine despatch must have been
on the way for several days, four at least,
the attack may have begun on Thursday

Tho Passing Of tho Fly.

It Is announced that our annual harvest
of flies Is diminishing in number, and not
less surprising is the reason therefor. A
writer In The Electrical Roview says:
"Entomologists report that Of late years
the annual crop Of flies is decreasing rapid.
ly and steadily. Tho almost universal
adoption Of electrical traction Is credited
with bringing about this desirable result.
1t has been stated that stables are the
chief breeding places Of flies, and as the
street chr horse has been emancipated the
number Of stables Is consequently growing
less; hence the failure of the fly to be born
