How the News From Manila Was Re-
ceived at Pomona

POMONA, May 1.-The news of the
great victory at Manila was received
with incredulity here this morning.
Every one had a broad smile on his face,
and the remark was general: "Too good
to be true; hope 1t is, however" After
the arrival of The Herald, however, the
matter became more positive, and this,

tins, settled all doubts, and at once the
idea of celebrating so great a victory
appropriately became the uppermost
question. If arrangements can be made
on short notice Pomona will "whoop 1t
up" tonight.
