FLED WHEN DEWEY CAME.
Arrival of Ship That Left ManiIa
 inc Day Of inc Maya! Fight.

New York, Sept 1.-The Nova Sco- tian ship Celeste Burrill, which sailed from Manila on April 30, the day Dewey destroyed the Spanish squadron, ar rived yesterday and Captain Trefry learned for the first time how the bat tie he had just missed seeing turned out. He says he broke the record loading his ship, fearing that he might not be able to get out if there should be blockade. He slowed about 10,670 bales Of hemp in ten days. He heard that the Yankee squadron was com- ing, and saw the Spanish vessels strip for action. He also heard that the Europeans in the city intended to take refuge on the shipping in the harbor, and as he had only enough food for his voyage, and as four was S24 a barrel he decided to get out to avoid more boarders than he might be able to feed.
 At St. Helena he heard that the war was still on, but nobody knew who had won at Manila. Just after he got into port the skipper received a letter from another British skipper whose ship was in Manila harbor when Dewey attacked, telling all about the victory. Captain Trefry thinks the United States ought to hold at least the island of Luzon

MORE GOLD FEOM LONDON.
Over $2,OOO,OOO Said 10 Have Been
 Purchased for New York.

New York, Sept. 4.-Gold is again near the importing point, and a pri- vate dispatch received in Wall street today stated that over s2,OoO, GOO had been purchased in the open market in London for the United States. It is a custom in London to buy gold to ar rive. and when the Cape steamers reach England very often the gold in it's held has been purchased for future shipment to this or other countries. Still good judges believe that another and q considerable gold movement is at hand.
 The decrease in the surplus reserves of the associated banks has already had the effect of. stiffening the rates for money, and some of the more san- guine bank officers think that rates will remain more remunerative for 8 period at least. This view, however, is far from being general. The coun- try banks have plenty of currency anu one of the best authorities said this afternoon these country institutions would not draw upon their city re- serves as largely as was expected, nor as soon. The further argument against any continued advance in money rates is that the southern hanks will finance themselves a good deal of southern business this year, and both the wheat and cotton move lnerts will not take as much cash from the eastern banks as the latter usually see withdrawn about this time of the year The statement that be- cause :he banks have only an average proportion Of reserve to liabilities ol about 29 per cent, a squeeze in the money market would follow, is charac- terized by the large banking houses as absurd With a big credit balance in London, money abundant here, country banks full, there Is no immediate pros- pect of money stringency.

MUST INCREASE STATE TAXES.
Property in Kansas to Be Assessed al
 It's Full Value.

Topeka, Kan, Sept All. D. Hefe- bower, treasurer of state, will recom- mend in his report to the state legis- lature that steps be taken to increase the taxes collected by the state. He is uncertain just what method of increas- ing taxes to recommend, but the labor commissioners suggestion that there ought to be law to prevent assessors from assessing property at less than its full value, meets his hearty endorse ment.
 ''The law is that property should b5 assessed at it's value," MT Hefebowel said, but they don't pay any atten- tion to lthe law There ought be way to make assessors sorry for vic iating it''
 MT Eeflebower's estimate is that the treasury ought to have s1O0,000 yearly more than it has in the general fund Then the state could pay it's bonds slowly and get out of debt. A statement prepared yesterday shows that $S95, ,734.05 has been paiG out of the general fund since January of this year Of this amount $142,' 62990 was used in paying for warrants of last year sold to banks and specu- lators. There were $500, ,144.11 in De cember warrants not paid until thi; year on account of the same deficit With the bills of five months yet tt
 be paid there is in the treasury, duly
 receipted for, s375, ,949.34 and abou s63,O 900 that has been received during
 this week. The last sum is in tn,
 treasury, though the books do no show it.
 There is strong probability tha the treasury will be behind, thougl
 MT. Heflebower hopes that it will no be necessary to sell any warrants thi year on account of lack of funds.

ALGER'S IMPRESSIONS.
Says Camp Wikoff is an Admirable
 One-Complimenfs Shaffer.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Secretary AL ger, wko returned last night from New York after his inspection tour through Camp Wikoff at Montauk Point with President Mckinley and several bureau officials of the war department, com mented tonight on the conditions at the camp and stated the results of his visit. The secretary said in part:
 II feel certain. after a careful ex- animation of Camp Wikoff and 9 thorough investigation of it's condi- tions, that everything possible is be- ing done for the men, both sick and well, who are detained there. The camp is an admirable one, the best, think, I ever saw.
 That success in the campaign was achieved so soon and with loss com- paratively so small is due to the en- ergy and ability of General Shafter and his commanding officers and to ths dash, bravery and splendid fighting qualities of the men of General Shaf- ter's corps.''
