There was quite Il serious depression
both in London and Paris on the report
cd friction between Russia and Great
Britain, and there was quite urgent sell
ing here for London account, but the
supply of American securities abroad
has been so far reduced in the past year
that the disposition of foreign holders to
buy or sell has very much les< influ-
ence than formerly. The aggressive
buying which has been noticed in Wall
street for several days quickly turned
prices upwards and gained in volume
on the advance. Burlington continued
to be the leader and scored an extreme
advance of IL There was some dispo-
sition to realize in the last hour, but Il
decline of Il fraction quickly reduced
the market to dullncss. Possibly the
final squirt i'll Burlington was used to
cover some rather extensive realizing
at other points. There was talk in Wall
street of an agreement to advance prices
which included a number of interests
controlling vast wealth. That the buy
ing came from u combination OF very
powerful interests was quite evident, but
that it was based on TIL, assumption of
a future rise in values and Il demand
from the general public for stocks is
equally certain
Dealings in bonds were not as large
as yesterday, but the demand continued
active and well distributed and carried
prices vigorously upwards all through

New York, Aug. 5.-The dry goods
situation shows but little radical changes
There is a steady gain in the amount OF
spot business in cotton goods. The tone
of the market is, on the whole, Il good
one. Prices are well maintained and
the demand is fairly well sustained in
most lines. The situation in print cloths
shows no change of moment. Staple
cottons locally are sold more freely than
heretofore. For both brown goods and
bleached for home consumption the or
ders have been more numerous. The
size of the orders is still satisfactory.
Export goods show continued good re-
suits. DENNIS have registered Il
large sale in nine ounce goods.
Other coarse colorcd cottons show
no change. Quilts are said to be slight
ly firmer. Blankets and fannels show
no change. White goods are firm and
featureless.
COTTON.
New York. Aug 5.-Nery little specu-
lative interest was manifested in the
cotton market today. The first call de-
veloped Il steady feeling with first sales
mt unchanged prices to 3 points lower

sence of buying than a predominance of
sellers. After steadying to last nights

nation whatever. Liverpool cables We're
summed up as rejecting Il stupidity duh
market for futures with fluctuations too
narrow to be worthy of consideration,
while crop and weather reports were

prohibited their execution. The mar

SAILED BEFORE SURRENDER.
According to August Germans Com
 mitted a Hostile Act.

HONGKONG, Aug. 16.-It was ru- mored here last night that Manila had surrendered, but no news is obtain able from the Spanish Consul Cover nor General August refused to speak. The German Consul was called upon, and he informed the correspondent that the outskirts of Manila were bonn barded by the Americans and that the city surrendered. No damage was done to the city proper, only the out skirts being bombarded. The date of the bombardment was unknown to the German Consul, who refused to say more.
 General August told lady that Ad- nliral Dewey demanded the surrender of Manila in an hour. The Spaniards declined to surrender and they imme- diately began the bombardment, and the Spaniards hoisted a white flag. General August immediately jumped into a German launch which was in waiting and went to the Kaiserin Au- gusta, which sailed before the bonn bardment was concluded. The bonn bardment occurred on the 18th.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-The Wash- ington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs: President Mckinley Is adopting every means possible to get in touch with public opinion on the question of the Philippines and the final terms of peace with Spain. Pres ident Mckinley realizes that at the present time public sentiment in this country strongly favors holding all the islands of the group, but there are no indications that he is yet ready to adopt this policy.
 Senator Allison's appointment as a member of the peace commission Is now regarded as assured and his name is added to that of Secretary Day on the list of members. The appointment of Former Secretary of the Navy Tracy as a member of the commission is re- garded as practically assured.
 There is no longer any doubt that Ambassador Hay is to be Secretary of State upon the retirement of Secretary Day. It cannot be said, however, that Whitelaw Reid has been definitely se- lected to succeed Hay.
 The President decided to-day to ap- point Major General M. c. Butler, com manding the first division of the Second Army Corps, to the Cuban commission. The other army members of this cont mission will be Major General Wade, who was one of the men originally se- lected. Major General John R. Brooke still stands at the head of the military committee to be sent to Porto Rico. It is now the intention of the President to associate with him Brigadier Gen. eral Theodore SchWan.
 It is now understood Rear Admiral Sampson will be the naval member of the Cuban commission and Rear Ad~ miral Schley of the Porto Rican com-

DEWEY AND MERRITT FORCE THE
 UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER OF MANILA

Not any great importance was attached to the action of the Ger man commander i'll permitting the Spanish commander to es- cape on his ship. It is supposed that Captain General August made arrangements with the German admiral to board his ship whenever there was danger of the capture of the city by the Ameri- cans.
 From the way the officials with whom l talked tonight discussed 1t, 1t IS evident the adtninistra- tion does not propose to lay any undue stress upon 1t. So far as can be learned the capture of Ma nila does not change the situa- tion in the Philippines. The only difference has been to make the American hold to the island stronger than 1t would have been had the Spanish troops remained in the field.
 The insurgents still have to be dealt with, but the authorities are confident of the ability of Rear Admiral Dewey and Major Gen eral Merritt to control Aguinal- do, and they do not look for any further trouble in the islands in the Far East for the present at least. It will now be Major Gen eraL Merritt's duty to proclaim the Island of Luzon a military possession of the United States and put into force the tariff with which he was pro- vided before his departure from San Francisco.

e General Augusti, shortly after lis. arrival, had a conference with the Spanish Consul here.
 :. The officers and crew of the :: :Kaiserin Augusta refused to say lliider what circumstances Gen eral Augusti had left Manila. - It IS remarked that the fastest :: German cruiser was used to bring him to Hongkong. The .Kaiserin Augusta brought mail for the German Consul, who at :. present is at Canton.
 It Is conjectured that General August fled from Manila and that the Germans arranged the details of his flight.
 :. The cruiser left Manila on Sat urday last, Her commander re- ports that the situation was then : unchanged.
 :. The Spanish Consul at Hong kong has not notified the Span ish authorities at Manila of the signing of the peace protocol. ... It is thought that the Span iards may discredit theannounce-
 ment of peace taken to Manila : by the steamer Australian.
 Representatives here of the Philippine insurgents express :tiernselves as satisfied with the terms of peace.
The San Francisco call., 1898-08-16

note to General August demanding the surrender of Manila, threatening to make a combined sea and land attack upon the city unless the demand was acceded to. While no information other than that received in Consul WildmanS s dispatch has been received by the ad- ministration, it is in a measure con- firmed by a brief dispatch tonight from Madrid.
 If the report of General Augusti be true, and it's accuracy is not questioned here, the probabilities are that official dispatches will be received by the Gov ernment in a day or two at the latest.
 The flight of General Augusti from Manila created some amusing comment here tonight. As one official expressed 1t: Had he maintained his position, hard as it was, until the arrival of the news of peace, he would have been hero; but he fled, and he will now be branded as a coward.

SOBER THOUGHT HAS
 SUBDUED THE CUBANS
No Longer Talk of Continuing Hos tilities Despite the Presidents
 Proclamation.

Special Cable to The Call and the New York
 Herald. Copyrighted, 1898, by James Cor
 don Bennett.
 SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. IA Hours of sober thought have consider ably modified the views of Cubans on the subject of cessation of hostilities. There is no longer any talk of not rec ognizing the fact that peace has been virtually declared between the United States and Spain. The CubanS have come to realize that such a view of affairs might make the situation very disagreeable for them.
 The censorship which was reimposed here a week ago has been lifted and I am able to tell of a remark that Gen eral Shafter made on this subject to me Saturday. It had been cut by the censor out of my dispatch referring to the attitude of the Cubans. T do not believe" Gen. Shafter said, that the Cubans will go on fighting in the face of the proclamation" Here he brought his fist down on the table by way of emphasis. But if they do," he con- tinued N'they will be making an attack upon the United States and will be treated accordingly"
 What Garcia may do is hard to tell, but Castillo and other leaders here be- neve that he will at once cease opera tions and faithfully observe the procla- nation.

be no longer any doubt as to the
 status of the Spanish troops. They will be prisoners Of war and the American commanders can exercise much more authority over them than would have been possible if they had turned over the city, and bay and not formally surrendered until the final treaty of peace.

The Taking of the Capital of the Philippines as Viewed :. at Washington.

:. NEW YORK, Aug. I5.-The 'Herald's Washington core sends the following: In : the absence of detailed informa- tion concerning the fall Of Ma nila, the authorities cas1 only : speculate as to what brought on the bombardrnent that led to the Surrender of the city.
 ]: ]. Though only Admiral Dewey
 is. mentioned in Consul Wild mans dispatch, it is believed that *::tl1e land forces under General Merritt participated in the bat tie. The American commanders were not expected to bring on battle in view of the fact that they ..knew that peace negotiations were on foot, but 1t is realized that the situation was such-two armies confronting each other and their lines being separated by
 only short distance at some
 pl2ces-that there was danger of
 a battle at almost any time.
 The surrender of Manila will
