was still floating, to replace it with the
stars and stripes. Many Spanish Off
GERS and a general crowd from the
streets stood around, and as he drew
near to the flagstaff he was Kissed by
the onlookers. When the orange and
red banner was actually replaced by
the ApericaA emblem many in the
crowd wFfe crying. The symbol of
Spanish sovereignty, of Spanish bru-
tally, had disappeared forever. AS
Old Glory was run up to the top of the
tall flagstaff company of infantry
presented arms and a regimental band
played 1.-The Star Spangled Banner"
Before night the Spanish sentineIs
had been replaced by American sol
diers; guards were placed at all the city
gates, and the armed rebels were not
permitted to enter the city in fear that
they might commit depredations
against the Spaniards. The American
troops took up their quarters in the
public buildings, on porches and even
in the streets. They had marched and
| fought through terrible rain and in
tropical heat, and were tired out.
That evening the servants of Capt.
Gen. August, who but short time be-
fore had issued proclamation bid
| ding defiance to the Americans, served
dinner to Gen. Merritt, the other gen
eral officers of the American army and
their stats, in the town hall, and here
were stacked for time the captured
arms, ammunition and accoutrements
| of war.
| Gen. Merritt at once took charge of
the government of the city, assigning
Gen. Anderson to command of the dis
trict of Cavite, Gen. Macarthur to COM
mand of the walled city of Manila and
Gen. Greene to take charge of the city's
| finances in the capacity of treasurer
general.
Before the short battle had ended
Capt. Gen. August boarded the Ger
man cruiser Kaiser Augusta, lying in
| the harbor at the time, and started i'm
mediately for Hong-Kong, leaving an
assistant to turn over the city to the
Americans. In his own eyes his honor
tication of surrendering TO what he
| termed an unworthy foeman.
The important conditions embodied
in the terms of capitulation were as fol-
| lows:
Surrender of the Philippine archi-
| pelago; officers to be allowed to retain
their side arms and personal effects,
| but not their horses; officers to be
prisoners of war on parole; the troops
to be prisoners of war and deposit their
arms at place appointed by Gen. Mer-
rift; all necessary supplies for their
maintenance to be provided from the
| public treasury funds, and after they
are exhausted by the United States; all
phblic property to be surrendered; the
disposal of the troops to be negotiated
later on by the United States and Span
ish governments; arms to be returned
| to the troops at Gen. Merritt's discre-
| ton.
During the fighting of the day five
| Americans were killed and 43 wounded.
The Spanish loss was never accurately
shown, but an English authority, who
lived in Manila and had the best of
facilities for ascertaining the correct
| figures, repsFts that there were very
close to 1,OOU of the killed and mortal
ly wounded on the Spanish side.

According to a recently adopted reg

or stock-yards, of the western states
from infected regions farther south
must undergo disinfecting bath. The
administration of this bath was in
augurated at st. Louis with some cere-
mony. The bath is composed of water
containing solution of kerosene and
sulphur. Under the superintendent of
the chief inspector, seventy-two cattle
were first treated. They objected

some thirty-six minutes They came
out, shaking their heads and blowing
but without any i'll effect. The result

much larger number of cattle were
