LINCOLN PARK.
A Brief Mention of an Industrious
and Happy People.

Only few short years ago this
beautiful and growing suburb was .
barren waste of unproductive land.
But today, what is it, No pen can
adequately portray the wonderful,
transformation and no imagination is
so acutely keen as to prognosticate
the confines of its possibilities. With
no attempt to magnify the advantages
and future greatness of Lincoln Park
We are prone to say no locality in the
west has so bright future.

Another Report That America Has All
 the Philippines.

London, Aug. 19.-The Hong Kong correspondent of the Daily Mail says: "The terms of the equalization of Ma nila as agreed upon Saturday between General Jaudenes and General Merritt include the cession of the Philippine archipelago to the United States. An American naval office who arrived from Manila on the Zafiro tells me that the Americans practically walked into Manila. The operations, he says, were confined to the Malate side of the city, where the Spaniards had a fort, and two lines of trenches. The troops waded through the Malate river and walked up the beach as though going to junch, meeting practically no opposi- ton. I learn that when General Mer- ritt went ashore after the equalization of Manila, he expressed some difficulty in finding General Jaudenes, who was ultimately found in church among crowds of women and children"

There Will be No Inquiry.

Washington, Aug. 1s.-In reference to report that Surgeon General Stern berg had asked the secretary of war for a court of inquiry the secretary to- day stated that on August last in a. letter to the secretary of war the sur geon general made a full explanation with reference to the deficiency in med ical supplies at Santiago, showing that ample supplies had been sent with the troops from Tampa, but owing to diffi- culties connected with the landing at Siboney a considerable proportion of the supplies had been left on the trans ports. In the same letter the surgeon generalrequested that if this statement was not considered satisfactory court of inquiry should be appointed to as certain if there was any responsibility on his part or that of the officers to whom The orders for supplies had been sent. There is no suggestion that a court is to be ordered.

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS.
Wins at State Convention by
 Less Than a Dozen Votes.

Sacramento, Cal, Aug. 1S.-The dem ocratic state convention on assembling to-day received the report of the com mittee on fusion. It recited that the peoples party and silver republicans were in accord with the programme of fusion and would support the demo- cratic ticket if 1t should proceed along the lines mapped out. It urged the adoption of the fusion plan and the matter was put to a vote without de- bate. Fusion carried by less than a dozen votes. w. H. Afford, chairman of the democratic state central com mittee, then nominated Congressman James c. Mcguire for governor in a brief speech, in which he said that in dustrial freedom was the one fight the democracy had in view. United States Senator Stephen M. White seconded the nomination in an eulogistic speech, wherein he removed MT. Maguires rec ord in congress on the railroad ques- tion. Senator White was frequently cheered, after which MT. Mcguire was nominated by a rising vote.
 The other democratic candidates are yet to be named. The populist and sil- yer republican candidates were named as follows: Edward L. Hetchinson, lieutenant governor; T. w. Masels, controller; H. A. McCraney, clerk of the supreme court; Walter Van Dyke, justice of the supreme court; Christian Ruckles, superintendent of public in struction; J. l.. Dryden, railroad com missioner.
 The platform reaffirms allegiance to the Chicago platform of 1896; endorses the action of congress in declaring war against Spain; praises the democrats in congress for supporting our arms; comments them for opposing the war revenue as unjust and discriminating opposes the surrender to Spanish do- minion of the people of any Spanish colonies who co-operated with oul forces against our enemy in the late war; opposes the assumption by this government of any portion of the debts of Spain incurred in maintaining he1 sovereignty in Cuba, or the imposition of any portion thereof upon that isl | and; and favors the immediate exten. sion of the contract labor laws of the | United States to the Hawaiian Islands and all further territory that may be annexed to the United States Judge | William Conley was nominated for as. 1 sociate justice of the supreme court.

 The rebels made a final effort to
 capture the city on Tuesday, but failed.
 The Americans are preparing to act to
 avoid trouble in entering the town.
 There has been slight fighting for four
 days and it is reported that twenty
 Americans were killed and sixty
 wounded. This fighting is purely pre-
 liminary. In consequence of the Amer
 ican ultimatum the governor ordered
 the artillery to cease shelling the en-
 emy's trenches and he suspended an
 officer at Malate for disobeying his or ders. There is still little firing at night. A Spanish commercial deputa- tion to-day waited upon the governor and begged him to surrender, saying that otherwise they would be utterly ruined The civil members of the council of war favor a surrender but the military members do not dare 10 endorse such a request.
 "Officers tell me they realize the fu- tility of resisting the Americans, who with their superior guns, can keep at long range and kill everybody, without loss to themselves. with probably a dozen shells. The British consul
 promptly arranged for four launches, | under white flag, to remove British subjects and also for one launch for the Chinese. Swarms of Spanish and na- | tive half-caste women and children are begging to be provided with means for escape. It is believed that the Amer~ l ican gunners have been ordered to | spare the churches owing to the fact | that thousands of persons have taken | refuge in them.

ACTIVITY OF THE CARLISTS
MINIFESTO BY DON C1RLOS AN
 NOUNCED TO APPEAR.
Spanish Ministers Assert That the Pre- tender Will Not be Able to Find Enough Money to Run Revolution and Will be Forced to Postpone an Uprising Until Next Spring.

London, Aug. 19.-The Daily Mails Biarritz correspondent says: "A manl- festo by Don Carlos is annouhced to ap- pear shortly. The Spanish ministers assert that the pretender will not be able to find enough money to run a revolution and will be forced to post pone the rising until next spring. There are signs, however, that Don Carlos will not wait so long. Meanwhile the Spanish government will increase it's precautions to prevent any outbreak of Carlism. Small armed bands are ap- bearing and disappearing daily in vari- ous parts of Spain. The work of fla natical republicans and Carlists is help ed by the general misery and the pre- vailing irritation against the govern ment.
 Within the last few days carabin- eere post near Sueza, in the province or Valencia, has been attacked by band of armed men and the corporal of carabineers and one civilian seriously
 wounded. It is stated that the cara
 bineers had opposed the land of arms during the night from barge near Tarragona. The civil guard arrested four men who were carrying twelve old guns.
 The Castillon band still continues it's progress and has been largely in- creased in numbers during the last few
 days. From the beginning it was much larger than the authorities cared to avow and it has now become impor- tant.
 Tn field near Alganicnes, province of Zamora, the bodies of a corporal and | two privates of carabineers who had been murdered, probably by men snug | glng arms for Portugal, were found | yesterday and close by another cara | bineer, who was almost dead. Their | weapons had disappeared. These incl l dents, however, are only sporadic and nothing like a general uprising is | threatened yet awhile"
