The Glorious Fourth !

Despite the intense heat, there was
vast ~OutpOuring of the people of Ope-
lousas and vicinity last Monday after.
noon, to participate in the patriotic ub
s%ervance OF our nations birthday,
The parade formed at the Court House
and proceeded through the principaI
streets, observing tie order Of parade
and line Of march published last week
On returning to the Court House
square, the grand marshal, aides and
various companies formed around the
flag pole; Miss Gussie Faunt Leroy,
appropriately gowned in the "red,
white and blue" then feelingly pre-
scented the flag TO the presiding officer,
Judge +. ID. Estilette, on behalf of the
ladies'. Miss Faunt LeRoy's gracious
ease of enunclation Won the admiration
and applause OF all present. A burst of
stirring music followed, after which
Miss May KnickerbOcker, a talented
young elocutionist of Crowley, de-
claimed the lode TO the American
Flag" She was enthusiastically re-
ceived, and patriotic feeling ran like IN
electric current through The vast as
semblage as Old Glory slowly unfurled
and foatsd majesticalIy from its tow
ering flagstaff.
The crowd then fastened into the
Court House, which lad been elegantly
decorated by skillfnl fingers guided by
by rare taste and discriminating iudg-
ment,-with our national colors, patri-
otto emblems and portraits Of heroes.
Everything served to call forth enthu-
siastlc appreciation, and fittingly pre-
pared the audience to enjoy the eIabo-
rate program which completed the

INSOLENT GERMANS
They Are Sending Provisions to the
Spaniards in Manila

LONDON, July 1.-THE Hongkong
correspondent of the Daily Mall says:
General Aguinaldo declares that both
the Spanish and the Germans have made
overtures to him, though he declines to
divulge their import. United States
Consul Wildman asserts that Admiral
Dewey could compel the surrender of
Manila tomorrow if he desired. He
says his dispatches show that the Ger
man continue to interfere, their action
causing much anxiety, and it is said
they are assisting the Spaniards by
landing flour and other supplies, and,
moreover, that German officers have
been seen in the Spanish trenches.
The Germans have not been careful
to observe the naval courtesies
required by the situation. They have
given Admiral Dewey much annoyance
by insisting on sending their boats
around the bay after dark. AT the same
time, the German Admiral informed
Admiral Dewey that he had no intention
of giving offense to America, and that
his movements are not to be construed
as any demonstration of Ill will Admi-
raj Dewey is said to have replied: per
haps it would be better if matters were
managed a little differently
The German ships have done and are
still doing rash and impertinent things,
like the Irene incident. The Americans
hope the Spaniards will continue their
waste of ammunition in fighting the
rebels and to surrender Manila with
out bloodshed.
