Another Report Of the Capture Of Ma
Mia by Dewey.
New York, Aug IS. - The Journals
correspondent at Manila sends the fol-
lowing, dated Aug. 10:
Five American soldiers were killed
and about AZ wounded in the capture OF
Manila this afternoon. The stars and
stripes were raised over the city at S: 40
o'clock in the afternoon. In the bay
Admiral Dewey's feet Numbered a ma
tional salute.
The combined naval and land forces
were employed in the capture Of the
Spanish stronghold Of the Philippines.
At o'clock in the morning the signal
to begin firing was set on Admiral Dew
ey's flagship.
The authorities in the city and the
consuls OF foreign powers had previous
" been notified of the intended bonn
bardment.
For two hours great shells were
thrown into the city. After the bonn
bardment the troops moved forward to
attack the Spaniards in the trenches.
There had been no reply to Dewey's
bombardment, but the land forces met
with hot reception.
But the onward rush OF the Americans
could not be staid. With a loss Of five
Killed and over twoscore wounded they
drove back the Spaniards and captured
the trenches.
In short time the white flag was
raised by the dons, and 1000 soldiers,
A'2oo rifles and great quantity Of am
munition were surrendered
The Spanish loss has not yet been as
certained. 1t Is probably several times
as large as that Of the American forces.
The Spanish forces numbered about
1000 men, but they were we'll intrench.

Trouble About Manila Cable.

Washington. Aug. H.-It was learned
at the war department that the reopen.
ing Of the cable to Manila was sur
rounded by some complications. Thu
cable was laid by a British company
by permission Of the Spanish govern.
ment, which granted the company a
subsidy.
When Admiral Dewey cut the cab'e.
because the Spanish authorities wou!o
not allow him to use it, it was sealed
up at Hongkong by order Of the span
ish government, and it is claimed that
an order from the Spanish government
will be necessary before the company
will be authorized to reopen it.

soon as Manila was in possession Of thu
Americans the cable company would
feel at liberty to restore cable communi.

TERMS:
WHAT NEXT

Within a few weeks, unless all signs
fail, the American army will have
stacked their arms and returned the
sabre to the scabbard The Gold
Lace" commanders will have once more
established themselves at some army
fort, where they may live on the fat of
the land. The hungry crowd looking
for promotion will seek other fields, and
the war will be thing Of the past.
But with the tying Of the war dogs
and the mastering out Of large major
ity of volunteers. will come the prob
lens Of peace. The Republican party
rode into power once more on the
double platform of protective tariff
and the pledge Of securing bimettalic
standard for all the nations in the
world. Little did the trainers of the
last National Republican platform
dream that two years from that day, the
man nominated at the convention would
lay aside for the moment the pen with
which he wrote of tariff and currency
topics, and use the pen with which to
sign the demand that Spain forever re-
lease all claim to tho islands of our
nsiyhborht oil.
Such, however, has been the unex-
pected occurrence. From the ranks of
the high tariff advocates Mckinley
marched to the column of war presi-
dents, there to prove himself competent
to act as commander-in- chief of the
army and navy during the smoke and
roar Of battle as we'll as in the quiet
days Of peace. Although Mckinley as
elected at the close Of the most impor-
tant campaign since the days of Lincoln
no one expected that he would be re-
mcmbered in history save as a Com
mercial President. Today, however,
all the world knows that instead of be-
ing remembered by deeds in that line,
will occupy place in the
history Of this country as the able man
who guided the "Ship Of State" on its
voyage which freed the Cuban island
from the grasp of the Spanish tyrants.
Now that the struggle is over and the
good "Ship Of State" anchored once more
in the harbor Of peace, we look again to
him who ha. been the brave pilot with
our hopes that he will prove as skilled
in the problems of peace, as he was
during the time he was asking the God
of Battles to bring victory to the men
who fought beneath the folds Of the
banner. What are these
problems which this Ohio Major must
solve?
The list is long one ranking from
the proper adjustment Of the control Of
the islands snatched from Spain to the
out Of the army. 1t includes
the framing of better tariff law than at
present in force. 1t also contains the
question of the currency. Another cleo
ton is near at aand. If the Republican
party desires to retain control Of Con-
grcss during the remainder Of the Nc
Kinley administration, the problems Of
peace must be undertaken without delay |
and a right start made. That Mckinley
and his advisers will prove equal 10 the
occasion those who have watt he'd his
work in the days of the war have no
fears, for the man who could select a
Dewey for the important work which
that dashing Vermonter performed will
never fail in these problems no matter
what shall be next in line of duty.

PROPERTY IN CUBA.
Problem of Settling the Rights of Span
ish Subjects There.

Problem of Settling the Rights of Span
ish Subjects There.
Washington Aug lS-An important
and difficult question which will have to
be settled by the peace commission is
the disposition OF the persons and prop
erty rights of Spanish subjects who
elect to retain their allegiance to Spain
while maintaining their residence in Gu
ba and Porto Rico, over which the Span
ish sovereignty has been relinquished
This question is one which is expected
to be peculiarly perpexing in connec-
ton with the settlement Of Cuban at
fairs, and there it is likely to be compli-
Gated by the question OF political rights
to be extended to residents Of Cuba,
Spanish or native. who have maintained
loyalty to Spain throughout the war,
but will desire to relinquish their allie
glance to the crown and establish cit
izenship in Cuba under the new order of
things.
The general question OF the rights OF
Spanish subjects will have to be espe-
cially provided for in the treaty Of
peace, as there was no general interna-
tional law covering 1t. In the acquisi-
ton Of Florida, Louisiana and other
tSTIllcIy NHiti HAS DeeT acquired Dy
the United States special provision has
been made in each case for those resi-
dents in the territory who decline to
change their allegiance. But no prece-
dent has been established, and if Span
ish subjects are permitted to retain
their property interests and residence in
either Porto Rico or Cuba it will have
to be by some extraordinary provision
incorporated in the treaty.
This government has the precedent set
by itself in the reconstruction of the
southern states Of requiring a test Of
loyalty, and 1t Is expected that the Gu
bans will insist on this in Cuba and NAV
make considerable trouble II citizens
who were active in their support Of the
Spanish cause now receive equal fran
chise with themselves and the predomi-
mating voice Of numbers In the estab-
Hshment of the new government.
