J Charles G. Latta, forty eight years
old, a cotton broker of Raleigh while
crossing Broadway at Pine street was
struck by northbound Broadway car

News of his condition at late hour
tonight was that his condition is still
critical
Mrs. Latta has shown marked courage
during the trying hours since the mes
sage was received. During the night
messages have continued to arrive, and
these are somewhat hopeful in their
tone, though it is known that Mr.. Latta
is in a very critical condition.

THE CAPTURE OF MANILA.
Anderson Gives an Account Which Does Not
Agree With Deweys.
(By the Associated Press


Chicago, July 11.-General Thomas NJ
Anderson has addressed to the Record
Herald a letter giving his version of the
surrender of Manila in which differs ma
terially from the statements made by
Admiral Dewey. General Anderson's let
ter says in part:
Several days before the assault on the
18th of August, Father McKnnon, the
Catholic chaplain of the First Califor-
MIA, after going into Manila, reported
that the Governor General told him he
could not and would not surrender with
cut a fight as he had to fight for the
honor of Spain. Subsequently, General
Merritt directed me to draw up the tacti-
cal order for the attack and this vas
done on the assumption that would be
a bona fide resistance. In the attack and
the preceding sllirmishes were lost 122
killed and wounded. No written propo-
sails have come to light, and the proba-
bilities are that the Admiral was received
by the misrepresentation of the for
eign consuls.
Il now learn for the first time that
my correspondence with Aguinaldo was
not approved by the Admiral. He had no
occasion for a correspondence. l wrote
some letters to Aguinaldo which seemed
necessary then. No doubt the Admiral
and Generel Merritt both thought that
they had made an agreement with the
Spanish authorities by which the city
could be taken without bloodshed. Yet.
Captain General Augustin was relieved
because he was willing to make such a
capitulation while his successor refused
to do so. Speaking for the second divis-
ion of the Eighth Army Corps, permit
ne tn say that it's attack on the defenses
of Manila was not in~the nature of an
opera coufte demonstration"

nation to me without any string tied to

ban by saying: while I am one of the
defeated candidates I bow to the will of

THE PROBABILITY

Naturally. since the acceptance OF
the Weisbach contract by the Street
and Sewer Commission. there has been
some speculation as TO the Mayors
course with reference TO the matter.
Yesterday he very properly refused to
express his opinion regarding tho con
tract til the contract should come be-
fore him for his approval He will
give the matter due consideration
when Il comes before him, and we be-
lleve that his action will be dictated
by plain business sense.
Meanwhile. there is no reason why
we may not speculate on the possible
outcome. No reasonable person is
anxious to see labrynth of litigation
ensue. especially when its outcome
could not be beneficial to the real in
terests OF the city. There are two mat
ters which should be kept distinct; the
merits OF the present contract and the
mystery surrounding the old. This
agreement should be considered on It's
merits, and then II anyone wishes TO
ivestigate the conduct OF the old com
mission in the matter. no one will be
displeased.
IN estimating the probabilities it
must not be forgotten that two mem
bers OF the present commission were
appolned by Mayor Fisher and that
they were named at a time when the
gas lighting contract was before the
people. IL is reasonable TO presume
that the Mayor had uhis in mind in
making his selections. Everyone else
did. and ii was Thought that when his
nominations were announced that there
was an intention THAT this matter
should have n business treatment by
business men: and there is every rea-
son 10 suppose that ne viii back the
action OF his appointees.
