WAKING UP.
Canadians Beginning to Realize
Their Country's Needs.

Ottawa, Ont, June 27.-Canada is
gradually awakening to the true sigNifi.
canoe involved in the present phenom-
email invasion Of the Canadian Northwest
by American farmers and business men.
This great movement presages the
dawn of vast trade, and important
changes are about to take place in the
industrial life of the Dominion. At the
present stage of this peaceable foreign
invasion some Canadian manufacturers
foresee the coming events that are cast
ing their shadows before, but the great
majority of this class is as yet indiffer-
ent, or slow to perceive that period of
greater prosperity in business life than
has yet visited this country, is rapidly
approaching.
The reason of the coming changes is
that the actual develoment of the Cana
dian West has, at last, begun in earn
est, and on truly gigantic scale. SO
far Canadians have been lacking in the
knowledge and development of the vast
resources of their country, but their
American cousins have soon grasped
the situation and are now coming in by
thousands, with capital and superior
spirit of enterprise to exploit the rich
possibilities which await them.

FALL OF MANILA
ADMIRAL DEWEY SAYS 1T WAS
BY AGREEMENT
Between Himself and the Spanish
Governor General That the City
Surrendered---Did Not in Any
Way Recognize Philippine Gov
eminent.

Washington, June %. - Admiral
Dewey made statement before the
senate committee on the Philippines
during the day concerning the early
operations at Manila, when he YVES in
command of the American naval forces
in Philippine waters. The admiral :
statement contributed an important adj
dition to the history of the surrender OF
the city of Manila. This consisted of a
positive statement by the admiral, to
the effect that the city had been sur
rendered to him at the time that the
Spanish fleet was sunk, and that when
the city did surrender it was in pur-
suance of a definite understanding be-
tween himself and the Spanish governor
general. The admiral was questioned by
Senator Lodge. He said he had first
heard from Aguinaldo and his friends
about April l, 1898, when it became
certain that there was to be war.
81 then heard that there were num-
Der of Filipinos who desired to accom-
pany the fleet to Manila" he contin-
ued.
E
| did not attach much Importance to
them, or to what they said. The day
before we left Hongkong l received &.
telegram from Consul General Pratt,
located at Singapore, saying that Ag-
uinaldo was at Singapore and would
join me at HongkOng. l replied, All
right, tell him to come aboard but
attached so little importance to the
message that sailed without Aguinal-
do and before he arrived. There was
then many promises as to what the Fill
ipinos would do, but / did not depend
upon them. Col. Williams assured me
that upon our arrival end the firing of
the first gun, 10000 Filipinos would
rise. None did arise and l frequently
joked him on this point"
The admiral said that after Aguinsl-
do got his forces organized he occupied
Cavite, but when he Dewey learned
that American troops were expected to
arrive soon he asked the Filipinos to
retire. They at first demurred, but
ultimately consented. After this time
on July Is, Aguinaldo sent to him, from
Bacoor, his first proclamation of indie
pendence of the Filipinos THAT pro-
"lamation, said the admiral, "wss the
first intimstioR / had received of the
aspirations of the Filipino people for an
independent government. Aguinaldo
had never told me that the independ-
ence of his people was his aim. But
when his proclamation came, / thought
nothing of it," When Senator Lodge
asked the admiral; "Did you recognize
the Filipino republic?" he replied, III
did not. never gave it the slightest
recognition. / had no authority to do
so, and besides, did not consider it an
organized government. There was a
riegn of terror and the Filipino forces
were riding roughshod over the commu-
nifty, committing many acts of cruelty.
l sent word to Aguinaldo that he must
treat his prisoners kindly, and he re-
piled that he would"

New York, June 26.-Among the ar
rivals on the Moro Castle from Havana
was Charles NJ. Pepper, St. Louis
Worlds Fair Commissioner to Cuba
who has been in the island for the past
four months.
1.-THE industrial conditions" said
Mr.. Pepper to the Associated Press
representative, "are bad and growing
worse. The big sugar plantations are
doing nothing towards next years crop
and this throws a large number of peo-
Pile out of work Conditions in Havana
are undergoing a distressing crisis,
though little is said of it publicly.
The dicffiulties of the new government
have been increased enormously by the
economic situation.
President Palma is cutting down
expenses by the wholesale, abolishipg
Offices and reducing salaries, and it
may be that they will be able to keep
the ordinary cost of administration
within their income. but that does not
reach the real trouble which is the de-
preston in the sugar industry. The
country people are patient and there is
little disorder, yet one OF the first
measures found necessary is to increase
the rural guard, with the intention of
putting General Maxine Gomez at the
head of it. There is intense pride
among Cubans of all classes in main
tanning order, and they will sustain
President Palma in whatever he does"

Threatened Damage in Colorado
Averted by COpiOus Rains.

Denver, June 30.-Tfe drouth, that
threatened the most severe damage that
Colorado has known for years, has been
broken by rain which was as general
in extent as it was copious in quantity.
Though in places hail did some damage
this was insignificant in comparison
with the value of the crops saved by the
rain. Snow fell to a depth of eight
inches in Leadville and many other
places in the mountains.

The heavy thaw and rain yesterday
caused the Lackawanna river to rise
rapidly and at Soclock last night 1t was
five feet above its normal line at this
time of the year. At midnight 1t was
reported to have risen six inches more
and to be still rising.
Should this continue today there will
be danger of a serious flood though the
weather bureau promises q cold spell
The river had not risen sufficiently
high at midnight to overflow its banks
and cause any very serious damage,
but the people living near it both in
this city and up the valley, were APP
prehensive that it would.
The thaw rendered walking a very
unpleasant diversion yesterday. because
of the clogging OF the sewer basins in
nearly every part Of the city and the
consequent flooding of the street cross
ings. The department of public works
had a large force of men at work both
yesterday afternoon and last night
cleaning out these basins.
