Madrid. June 1S.-The following dis
patch from Manila. signed by CAPTAIN
General Augusu. and dated June 18. is
published officially: "The grave situa-
tion set forth i'm my dispatch of June
3 continues. The troops are fighting on
the line of blockhouses which stops the
'nrmN's advance. The enemy has been
strengthened by desertions of the ma
tive troops, which diminish our means
or resistance and may compel me TO
take refuge within the walled city.
Communication with the provinces is
still cut off. and l do not know whether
the deiachmcnts there viii be able to
hold out against a lack of resources.
l hope to receive assistance from the
peninsula before our means Of defense
are exhausted"

THERE is no necessity of eIecting
Democrats to remedy the evils of the
last Legislature If the Republicans
will nominate clean, capable men the
abuses Of the last session will be
avoided. There has been no good
argument produced to show why the
present members from this county
should bee returned, and if the voters
of the party will turn out at the
primaries and brush aside the petty
bosses, not one Of those who held
down a seat in the hotel corridors at
Harrisburg last winter will have the
opportunity of again misrepresent-
ing Schuylllill. TO be successful next
fall the Republican party mustignore
the old barnacles and bring new,
clean men to the front as its standard
bearers.

THE international Mining Con
gress, which meets in Salt Lake City
ON July,Gth will be attended by nearly
Al thousand delegates. Its objects are
purely practical in character and
political subjects and discussions are
out Of order i'm its sessions. The
Congress is intended to promote the
interests of all engaged in mining
pursuits whether as investors, man
ayers or labOrers. In aid of this pur-
pose, one of its principal aims is to
secure the establishment of ma
tional department Of mines with n
cabinet officer at its head. 1t will
discuss the desirability of revising
and codify ing the mineral land laws ;
of opening the Spanish land grants to
prospectors and miners : il will discuss
the desira bility of mutual bonding
privileges for mine shipments and
supplies between Canadian and
American points; it will discuss
problems of mine management, ore
treatment methods, relation of rail
roads to mineral development and a
number Of other subjects of broad
general interest TO miners. Every
branch of the industry will be repre-
sented among the delegates and every
region of the country, so the program
will take the widest range possibl,
within practical limits.

Socialist Gain. III Germany.

Berlin, June 1S.-In the reichstag
elections 339 results show that 1G5 sec
ond ballots viii be necessary The re-
turns thus far assure the election of -
Conservatives, 6 Imeprialists II Cent
rists, 4 Roformists, National Liberals
? candidates of the Radical Uniou 50
Social Democrats II Poles, / Dane and
z independents 1t is impossible as yet
to predict the composition of the new
reiChstag The crisis Of the elections
will occur over the second ballots. 4
few facts, however, stand out plainly,
The Centrists will, as heretofore with
probably undiminished strength, hold
the balance Of power with 100 seats,
enabling them to sway the reichstag in
either direction. A Cartel majority will
be next to impossible, and the So
cialists will after all, not only largely
increase their poll, which it is esti-
mated viii reach 100000 votes, as
against 1,7S6,0O0 in 1898, but will also in
crease their representation by ten to
twelve seats.

such as was enjoyed by the men at
Tampa. General Miles is yet to have
conference with the president.
In the meantime the plans are NOV
ing forward steadily for sending fur
ther expeditions both to Porto Rico
ana cuba. There is little likelihood that
second expedition of 5000 men to re-
inforce General Shafter, at santiago
will leave within the next few days, as
has been reported. The necessity Of
sending these additional forces IS dues-
toned by high military officials and
moreover the means OF transporting
such a force are not available.
The main consideration just at pres
ent is the equipment of an expedition
/ of greater dimensions than any here-
| tofore discussed, with Porto Rico as
/ the objective point a month ago the
| military authorities were saushed that
cupy Porto Rico, as the Spanish force
