Five American sol Tiers were killed
and about forty-tive wounded in the
capture Of Manila this afternoon.

afternoon. In the bay Admiral
Dewey's fleet Numbered a patlonaI
salute.

the Spanish stronghold Of the Philli-
pines. AT 8 o'clock in tile morning

Admiral Dewe!'s flagship. The au-
thorltles in the city and the consul.
OF foreign powers hal previously
been notified Of the intended bonn
bardment. For two hours great
shells we're thrown into the city.
After the bomhardment The troops
moved forward to attack the Spun
iardS in the trenches. There had
been no reply to Dewey's lombard
ment, but the land forces met with
a hot reception. But the onwar |
rush OF the Americans could not be
stayed. With a loss of five killed and
over two score wounded they drove
back the Spaniards and captured the
trenches.
In Il short time the white flag was
hoisted by the Dons. and 1900 SOL
dlers, 10000 rifles and d grelt GUAM
tity of ammunition was surrendered.
The Spanish ! SIS has not yet been
ascertained. 1t is probably several
times as large cs that nr the Amerj
can forces.
The Snanish forces numbered
about $500 men. bnt they were well
entrenchPd. Nearly 1000 Ameri-
cans were engaged IN the assault, and
their loss under the circumstances is
considered small.
The Colorado troops were the first
to storm the trcnchs, and every man
was a hero.
When the white flag went up Cap

Mr.. Min was at the depot helping
Mr.. Hylton load his wool and Mrs.
Min and the children were at the

washing at a camp fire. her clothing
caught fire and flannel by the wind
soon enveloped her in flames. She

unfortunate woman was in terrible
agony and her creams we're pitlful tn

remember a lady who repeatedly
expressed the belief that all men are
cross before dinner. What are we to
do with a statement like this? The
most useless thing that we could do
would be TO dissent and call it false.
There must be some meaning there be-
hind the words, some experience badly
described. Inquiry showed that the
lady in question was a person cut off
by the nature of her duties from all
masculine society except that of her
husband and her son. both OF whom
were usually cross when their stom-
achs were empty. This was what she
meant as, on questioning she admit

say: The meaning is the inference,
the personal reaction upon the facts,
and thus may be wholly false and de-
serving Of our hearty dissent But
with serious people it is rarely true, I
think, that the meaning is an in the
inference. A serious man means bus
mess; he means to state the truth,
and means that you should get behind
both his words and his inference to
the facts he is trying to express. There
is no occasion for going to the dictiOn-
airy and trying to read the mars mean

as part of him. He genuinely sees
something, and we have got to see it,
too, if we are to get his meaning Al
ter that we can consider the question
of terms and adopt his language or
make him adopt a better.

Washington, Nov Soft congress
early in the session should make pro-
vision for the increase of the regular
army, it is quite probable that none of
the volunteer regiments now in the
service will be sent to do garrison duty
in Cuba The troops first to be sent TO
Cuba will be composed largely Of the

available. Plans are maturing for the
mastering out of as many volunteers
