The Last Act Vas the Taking Away From Manila of Augusti
 During the Bombardment.
SOME OF THE ACTS
 CONSIDERED HOSTILE.
The Most Serious Is the Alleged Claim That Germany Supplied the Spanish With Two
 Field Guns.

Washington, Aug. 1S-The United States may yet have trouble with Ger many. That country is to be officially asked to explain her actions in Manila bay. This is the informal decision ar- rived at by the administration and will be put into effect shortly unless in the meantime the reports which have reached Washington are discredi.ed by an absolute proof
 The carrying off of Captain General Augusti by the German cruiser Kaiser inc Augusta from Manila is the last of q series of petty annoyanees to witch this government has been subjected by the effusiye friendliness of the Germans for the Spanish.
 The attitude of Germany was sub- jeet discussed at some length at the cab met meeting and the members were unanimous that unless ample explana- tion was forthcoming in few days, the secretary of state should demand through Ambassador White at Berlin, an explanation of the Augusti incident, and at the same time number of others.
 With the war at an end the admins tration is ready to uphold the dignity of the country at all hazards. But the word has gone around that the incidents in which the Germans have figured in such an unfriendly light, are not to be discussed until Admiral Dewey has re- ported.
 The list of insults and annoyances to which this government has been subject ed by Germany is now large enough to form the basis for an extended official inquiry. It is as follows:
 The sending of a disproportionately large German fleet to Manila.
 The landing of supplies from German vessels under the cover of night.
 The Irene incident in Subig bay.
 Tampering with and dividing the in- surgents.
 The ostentatious following of the first American transport fleet into the bay.
 The breaking of Dewey's harbor laws by boats from the German warships.
 The aiding of the escape of Captain General August, and last, but not least, the supplying of the Spanish land forces with two first-class field guns.
 It is on these charges that the count against Germany is to be made up. Ad- miral Dewey's report is all that is want ing.

AN EASY VICTORY.
 FOR THE AMERICANS.
The Surrender of Manila Was Accom- plished Without Any Severe
 Fighting on Our Part.


 London, Aug. 1.-The Manila cor respondent of the Daily Telegraph has this to say of Saturdays fight at Ma niia:
 Nothing could be more human than the Americans capture of the town. Gen Merritt and Admiral Dewey,s plan was to spare every oh jeet but the armed defenses and the trenches. Apparently the American losses were extremely small. Tho Spanish entrenchments varied ia point of distance from two to four miles from the center of old Manila.
 Defending this long line of at least ten miles were not over 5000 regular Spanish troops, volunteers and na- tiyes. About half that number were in hospitals. The attacking force num- bered from 10000 to 10000 natives aboard the fleet. In every respect the advantage was on the side of the at tack. The American field guns threw and 10000 Americans. on shore and heavier metal and had longer range than the Spanish, the craftsmanship of the United States gunners was much superior to that of the Span iards, and the men were stronger and in better condition. The spanards are small body compared with their stalwart opponents, and worn out by a hundred days siege and disappoint- ed by the failure to arrive of the promised Spanish relief squadron, they had lost heart It was 8 hopeless struggle
 Looking over the bay it was curi- ous to notice the foreign fleets ar- range themselves according to their sympathies. The English and Jap anese were near the Americans and the Germans and French on the oppo- site side of the bay, north of the Pa sig river The British cruiser Immor- talists and her courts kept fairly near LdG 1Atutl4GdH iIIie+ u6 dlldGhIU5 squadron formed i'll line between Malate and old Manila, with the Con- cord watching the fort at the mouth of the Pasig. The American fleet lay outside the breakwater.
 The Olympia fired the first shot at 9:30, and a fairly continuous but by no means furious cannonade was kept up until 11:20 By that time the Malate fort was silenced and tho American troops then stormed the entrenchments. The Spaniards, who were in the earthworks, say the quick firing guns of a little gunboat, which lay close to the shore, were far more terrible in their effects Clan was the raking fire of the ships.
 Resistance to the American attack was impossible The first Colorado regiment was the earliest to charge the Spaniards, who retired to the sec ond line, but soon outnumbered, they were forced into the old city. A part of Malate suffered severely from the bombardment The vaunted Intra- meurs defenses= were not tried.
 The Spanish commander, convinced that further resistance was hopeless, hoisted white flag at 11:30, and the order to cease firing was immediately issued in the center of the town, but in the outskirts of the city fighting continued for some time afterwards between the rebels and Spaniards.
 The only fear felt in the city is in regard to the conduct of the insur- gents. As I write this. in the house of the German consul. a brisk fusil- Jade is going on between the com batants, and musketry fire is rattling all around.

White, prominent young farmer mar
ried Mary, the daughter of Col. Kit

was near what is now the town of Shreve.
They lived happily until about two years
after the wedding. when they had little
quarrel The next morning he left the
house on an errand to neighbours and
did not come home. Nobody saw him
or heard of him and the general opinion
was that he had been killed and his
body thrown in the creek No trace of
him could ever be found His wife
mourned him for seven years, and be-
coming convinced that he was dead, mar
ried Jonathan Raley, wealthy farmer,
who made handsome settlement on
her. He was II years old, and after liv-
ing seven years he died. Still White
was not heard from. Mrs. Raley was
still comparatively young and hand
somer than ever, and another well.to-do
farmer named James Ezsl wooed and
won her. They were married and for
twelve years lived happily and White
was not heard from.
Tuesday a handsome man, past mid
die age, rode up to the Ez9ll home and
asked If he could get dinner He was
invited in and after the meal was over
he caught Mrs. Ezell's eye and asked her
if she did not know him. She replied
that she did not, and then he told her
that he was her long lost husband.
She simply and cooly replied, 81 never
would nave known you" That was all
she said A little while afterwards the
two men went out in the yard and talk
ed the matter over. They agreed to let
her choose the one she would live with.
She decided very promptly, "I will live
with Jim," she said White remained
at home an hour or so and rode off He
spent the night with neighbor, and an
nounced his intention of returning soon
to the West, where he says he has lived
for nearly thirty years, and where he has
prospered fairly well.
