hosts welcome their interested friends.
The weather was all that could be de-
sired. The slight thunder and rain
storm Of last night cleared and cooled
the air after the excessive heat of the
past few days. At the same time the
rain was not enough 10 spoil the grass
for walking.

fraternity boys began decorating their

stands abashed before the glorious ar
ray of scientific victories. The impos-
sibe OF our forefathers has become the
commonplace OF today--the fantastic
dreams OF ages gone by have been

science. and the period which has wit
messed its development may fittingly be
called The New Renaissance"

linus Surrendered.

Manila, June 16.-The town of linus,
which the Spaniards required months
TO capture. was peacefully garrisoned
last night by two battalions of the 14th
infantry. A white flag was floating from
the church tower as the Americans en-
tered. Many Of the inhabitants, who
had been terrified by the insurgents, fled
from the town as Lieut.. Zieger's scouts
marched in, but later they began to re-
turn, at the solicitation of the Mayor
The town occupies naturally strong
position on deep river, with steep
banks one bridge spans the river. The
church and arsenal were found 10 be
loopholed for rifles Quantities of shells
and powder were left behind by the reb-
els, evidence of their hasty retreat. The
people of the town are poverty stricken.
Yesterday the Mayor OF linus, carry
ing a gold headed cane and wearing his
badge OF authority, walked into Bacoor
and formally surrendered his town. He
was sent TO Gen. Lawton at Las Pinas.

Soul Of The Rebellion.

Brussels, June 16.-A correspondent
interviewed NJ. Andre. Belgian consul
general in Manila, concerning the as
sassination Of Luna. NJ. Andre de-
clares that Luna.s death is a godsend.
He was the soul of the rebellion and
the most sanguinary man OF all Aguin-
aldo's army and the one who tortured
Spanish prisoners and lived by insur
rection.
Before NJ. Andre left Manila for his
present visit to Europe he obtained
from the Americans some concessions
for Philippine insurgents in considera-
tion of Luna's formal promise 10 re-
lease Spanish prisoners Luna after
ward refused TO fulfill his promise. and
NJ. Andre, having then described Lu-
mas conduct as treacherous and felon-
ious, the latter sent him n challenge
10 duel, but he disappeared without
fighting.
NJ. Andre says the assassination of
Luna removes the principal obstacle to
peace, which the Americans have now
a great chance of speedily securing,
even by simple persuasion.
