partment has received from Admiral
Dewey the following dispatch:
Agu1naldo informs me his troops have
taken all Of Subic bay except Isla Grande,
which he was prevented from taking by the
German man-of-war Irene. On July the
Raleigh and Concord went there; they took
the island and about 1900 men, with arms
and ammunition. No resistance. The
Irene retired from the bay on their arrival.

Pleased with Dewey.
Turning to the far east it was re-
freshing to receive good news again
from Dewey. In fact it is beginning
to be remarked that that officer is
usually able to make felicitious re-
ports. The administration is very
much pleased with the readiness
shown by the admiral in meeting the
grave issue presented to him at Subic
bay and just reported as he did.
Not Regarded as a Menace.
In official quarters here there ap-
pears to be no disposition to look upon
the action of the Irene as menace
which will require explanation. It
outward show of force on the part of
TIE German ships might lead to an in
Quiry by this government as to the pur-
poses of Germany. Thus far, however,
there is no disposition to make such
inquiry, or to attach serious import to
the incident.
Defeats Germany's Plans.
Admiral Dewey's possession of Subic
bay defeats Germany's supposed
plans to interfere in the Philippines.
The insurgents have captured the
valuable merchant coast steamer
named Philippians. The native crew
killed the officers of the ship before
her capture.
Although the attitude of the Ger.
mans is still irritating, Admiral Dewey
is managing them with great diplo-
macy. He does not expect any trouble
with them.

The HLgh school Grndmntes.

The colleges have of late years drawn
number of students from among the gradu-
ates of the High school, and several mem
bers of the class of 9S will enter the higher
institutions of learning this fall. Some
will enter finishing schools, some will take
post graduate in the school here, while
others have not yet decided upon any def
mite course.
John Church, '0S, and Ernest Dean, who
graruated last year with the class of 81
and has since been in the employ of j. G.

the University of Vermont in September.
Frank Burr has recently successfully
passed examinations for entrance into the

will enter college on certificate, which is
ample proof of the excellence and high
standard of the present school system,
Miss Angie Allbee, Miss Lula Buxton and
Miss Edith Wetherbee expect to take a
post graduate course in the High school
here. Miss Mabel Roundy will fill the po-
sition of teacher in the Upper Meadows,

Driven Out of North Walpole.
The Disorders which Led to Action by
the Authorities.

The band of so-called gypsies, which has
been encamped since Saturday on the
grounds usually occupied by the visiting
circus companies in North Wapole in front
of the Riverside hotel made a hurried exit
from town early on Tuesday morning, due
to the Interference of the police II APP
pears that this company advertised itself
by claiming to give vaudeville perform
ances in the evening, in connection with a
shooting gallery and several other amuse-
ments of like character. As the members
of the company appeared to be quiet and
respectable on their arrival here, and as
their manager, Louis Grato, seemed to be
well supplied with money and paid an
amount in advance for board stephen
Tyrrell, the proprietor of the North Wal
pole hotel, consented to accommodate some
of them. Mr.. Tyrrell was called away
over Sunday, acting usher at the we'd
ding of William keefe of North Walpoe
in Claremont. During his absence the
company became somewhat disorderly, and
were told that they must find accommoda-
tions elsewhere on Mr.. TyrrelI's return on
Monday afternoon.
On Monday evening, while passing the
hotel, Justice of the Peace T. +. Griffin Of
North Walpole noticed several women in
decently clad, raising disturbance on the
roof Of the piazza. Mr.. Griffin went into
the hotel to inquire about them, and on
discovering that the company WAS disorder
| ly and boisterous, gave it - minutes in
which to leave town. He then telephoned
to Sheriff Perry of Walpole, informing him
| of the state of affairs and asked for assis-
lance. In the meantime Selectman kiniry,
who had granted permit to the company

covering the true nature of their exhibit
ton. At $40 a crowd CT several hundred
people had assembled on the grounds.
Tents were pulled down, ropes cut and dis
order prevailed on all sides.
On the arrival of the officers, few min
utes later, the whole band had disappeared
and the tents were being rolled up by a
few men, preparatory to hurried depart
ure. The manager was unable TO pay
Landlord Tyrrell the full amount that was
| due, and the tents and baggage, whioh
were placed in the hotel barn, were held as
| security.
Many of the women left on the 2 80 train,
presumably bound for Boston, on Tuesday
morning. Grato is still staying at the ho-
| TEL and says that the company will exhibit
in Rutland next.
| Tyrrells hotel was then raided, and a
quantity of beer and whiskey was discov-
cred on the premises. Tyrrell was brought
before Justice King on Tuesday night to
answer to a charge of keeping malt and
spirituous liquors for sale.
1t is thought that this is the same COM
pany which was driven out of Brattleborc
recently. The authorities have had nc
small amount of difficulty lately with law
breaking of various kinds in North Wal
pole, and in the future all will be sum

Town Sunday School Association
Address at the SaXtons River Meeting

by l.. w. Hawlty, State President.
The midsummer meeting of the Rocking
ham Town Sunday School association, held
at Saxtons River village Sunday evening,
was most enjoyable event in many ways.
Nearly, if not quite, all the schools OF the
town were represented, and the Congre-
gational church was we'll filed The pres
ident of the association +. +. Ramsay, su-
perntendent of the Methodist church Of Bel
lows Falls, presided and introduced the diff
ferent speakers in pleasant manner,
while Rev. G.. f. Boughton of the Baptist
church of Saxtons River led the singing.
After a 15-minute praise service the
president introduced l.. w. Hawley of
Brattleboro, who is the president of the
state association, and Mr. Hawley deliv-
cred an admirable address upon Fright
Ideas of the Sunday school" He began
by concratulating the association upon so
large and interested audience, and upon
the llourishing condition of the association,
feeling the Brattleboro association was
much weaker and could learn many things
from this. The real Sunday school, al
though supposed to have been instituted by
Robert Raikes, was really begun in the
times described in the books of Genesis and
Exodus, when Ezra was superintendent,
and many others named taught IN the
schools. The speaker urged the faithful
study of the lessons by the teacher, avoid
ing giving the class the lessons I'm undi-
gested chunks" He plead for each one to
find 10 minutes for study each day if ii
was impossible to find one solid hour at q
time. He gave number of illustrative
stories bringing out his different points
emphasizing the principle that the main

Mr.. Hawley was followed by Rev. j. H.

"Doubters and How to Deal with Them,
and he held his audience closely for &c
minutes, many Of the audience never hav
ing heard him before. The different
schools of the town composing the associa
ton are in lourshng condition, and one
more was added to the number earlier il

Cuban Letter

From Bellows Falls Boy who Wit
messed the destruction of Forts Near
santiago.
A letter has been received from Charles
F. Smith, the son of Mr. and Mrs William
7. Smith, who live on Barker street, de
scribing the scenes which took place in Ad-
miral SIMPSONS fleet before Santiago
Smith enlisted into the United States navy
in April, from the Charlestown Navy Yard.
He was placed upon the repair ship "Nul-
can which was in Hampton Roads dur
ing the early part of the war, whence it
proceeded to Key West. The account is as
follows:
OK BOARD L. S. S. VULCAN, July |, 9S.
Since | wrote to you last, events have
transpired which everyone does not have
the privilege of seeing, and which was my
good fortune to behold. We joined Ad
miral SIMPSONS fleet at day break this
morning. We had hardly got into the
fleet when the Fern opened fire on fort
upon the hillside. She fired three shots at
the fort, every one of which took effect.
The fort replied, but we could not tell
where the shots struck While the Fern
was circling around to bring her other
guns to bear, the New York opened with
her S-inch guns, and it was awful the way
that the walls of that fort would go up in
dust. 1t took about thirty minutes for the
New York to level the fort to the ground,
and the Spaniards took to the woods. We
were within speaking distance of the New
York when she fired her last few shots.
We could see the whole thing distinctly.
All this time transports were landing
troops, which were forming to go up and
take the forts, but before they did so, two
rifle pits were discovered at the top of the
hill. and the men-o-war bombarded them
and reduced them. 1t would do you good
to see them hit the works every time.
There are about sixty ships around San
tiago. MORO Castle is up the coast about
three miles from the other forts. 1t is
built of gray stone and is an imposing
structure, but | think it will be a reposing
destruction when Sampson gets through
with it.
1t is not half as warm here as thought
it would be, but warm enough.
Upon the hill is a camp of American
soldiers Right at the foot of the hill neal
us are the Cubans They have a fine little
camp, and nice Cuban flag floating over
it. A boat load of them are coming Oh
board now. There is an officer among
them.
