Wire Drawers Trouble About to Be

Cleveland, Aug. 26.-The strike of the
wire drawers at the American Wire
works may be settled within the next
few days. There are strong indications
that the big contest, which for some
time has threatened to extend to every
mill of the American Steel and Wire
company will soon be a thing of the
past. Something along the line of a
settlement is brewing but both the stri-
kers and the company officials are nom
committal on the matter.
1t is known that the ice has been bro
ken and negotiations for a settlement
of the differences between the strikers
and the company have been opened.
General Manager Shu1er of the Amer
lean Steel and Wire company will make
no further statement than that the wire
mill of the American Wire works will be
in full operation within a short time.

cars passed for many minutes,
There was a dull hum in the dis
tance but even that seemed to die
away for few moments. No one
was passing. The glare of the hot
sun was on the asphalt walks. The
green lawn relieved it. A faint
breeze just stirred the leaves of
the young trees. And the rest was
silence. That silence, after the
rattle buzz of the streets, was
something inspiring. And it was
broken gradually, at first by So
prano voice, a woman singing in
some of the houses bordering on
the capitol grounds. She sang
clear and true and the notes were
softened by distance. And before
the rumble of wagons and the
whirr of the electric car broke the
spell it recalled to my mind other
silence. 1t conjured up visions OF
a mighty canon with the moon
shining bright o'erhead and the
shadows cast by majestic rocks; of
a meadow over the seas in "Merrie

garden like expanse of farms with
neatly trimmed hedges and in the

The BurIington's New Trains

Railroad men who have had the
privilege of examining the four
new trains which the Burlington
Route, on the 1st of May, placed
in service between Denver and
Chicago say they are as magnifi-
comfy equipped as any in the
country-that even the famous
limited expresses between Chicago
and New York are not handsomer
or more luxurious. Every car is
wide vestibuled, and was built es-
pecially for the Burlington Route.

5000 PRISONERS
Captured by Philippine Insur-
gentS-AImOSt Get Into
Manila.

New York, June ia special cable
gram from Hong Kong to the Journal
says:
The most severe and important bat
tie since Admiral Dewey's annfhilation
of the Spanish fleet has occurred at Ma
Mia. One thousand insurgents at
tackled two thousand Spanish, inf1icting
heavy losses and almost forcing the en-
trance to the city.
The insurgents under Gen Aguinaldo
and the American sailors and marines
of Admiral Dewey's fleet completely
surround Manila.
The foreign residents have fed to the
ships.
Admiral Montijo and Governor Cen
eral August have placed the women,
the children and the priests in the forts
for safety.
Gen. Augusti is reported to be willing
to surrender to the Americans in order
to prevent the insurgents from captur-
ing the capital, setting it on fire and
killing the Spanish. The archbishop
is opposed to surrender and has over
ruled August The success of the in
Surgents is wonderful. The Spaniards
taken prisoners in the two weeks cam
paign aggregate 5000, including 1000
soldiers of the regular army. Promi-
nent among them are Generals Garcia
and Cordoba.
The governors of the provinces of
Cavite, Balucan and Bataan were also
made prisoners.
Two million rounds of cartridges were
seized in the fortified cathedral of Old
CaVite. The large garrison of Old Ca
vite has surrendered, thus giving the
insurgents command of the shore of the
entire bay. All interior sources of sup
ply are now cut off from the Spanish
forces in Manila.
The Americans can take Manila with
in twenty-four hours after the arrival
of the troops. The city is now at the
mercy of the American fleet.
Admiral Dewey's conduct during the
blockade has been admirable.
A great fire is raging north of Ma
Mia.
The insurgents have not captured the
waterworks on which the supply of this
city depends.
General Augusti has issued an order
declaring that all males above the age
of 18 shall join the army and do mill
itary duty.
