Talks With a Representative
of Business Interests on
the Philippines.
Vancouver. July 20.—According to ad
vic* « brought by the "Empress of India”
from Hong Kong the chief news of mo
ment i tli,it Manila is ready to surrender.
Not that tlie archbishop and captain
g, tn tai are going voluntarily to capitulate
before Huy are compelled to do so, but
tiic backbone of resistance is unquestion
ably broki n and upon a real show of force
and an intention to Ironibard the town If
the officials do not give in the Spaniards
will haul down the Spanish flag.
Intimations to this effect have been •
received from many sources A corre
spondent at Hong Kong of the Associated
I'lm writing under date of June 23 says
the chi, f subject of di.-eussion in Manila,
Cavite and in the American fleet is the 1
rm aning of the presence of five German
men of war and on, transport or supply
vessel in port.
"I have Just Interviewed a leading En
glishman here on the subject. He unhesi
tatingly informed me that till the foreign
ers regard it as a remarkable demonstra
tion.
"‘I am sure,' he continued, ‘that the
Spaniards have received encouragement
from siii'h a naval display. A Spaniard
told me that the coming of a large Ger
man garrison was construed by him and
the leading Spanish officials as a direct
act of friendly Interest and warning tow
ards the Yankees that they could not go
too far.' Now when lhe demonstration in
fluences this man to talk like that I think
It is high time to ascertain what the Ger
mans mean by appearing here in such
force.
"'I am familiar.' the informant contin
ued. 'with all German interests in Manila,
and my relations with the Germans are
agreeable and I am positive that one
German cruiser would bo fully able to pro
etet them to < very extent required ' ”
Further details of lhe great light on May
I filter through some high official as time
passes.
It appears that according to authenict
information in the bands of Consul Wil
liams that out of 491 men on the Reina
Christiana 361 were killed and only 127
left the ship An officer who was aboard
and is now in prison tells me that one
could not step a foot in any direction on
her decks without coming in contact with
pieces of flesh and dead bodies, such was
the power of American guns and the skill
of the American gunners.

'London, July 20. —The English Carlists

the organization here says:
"We are quiet ready for active opera
tions. Moreover there is no doubt the
authorities at Madrid are aware that a i
Carlist rising Is imminent and that it will
be successful.
"We are immensely strong in many j
parts of Spain and as soon as the rush j

“Foreign enlistment curtails our activity

we have been shadowed day and night by

REOPEN TRADE.
Return to Work Will Help Suffering Cubans
in that Province.
Baltimore, July 20—Preparations are be
ing made for the resumption of the trade
between Baltimore and Santiago. It is
the expectation that this .business will be
in full blast again inside of a month.
It is believed that if the people are now
permitted to return to their work it will
do more toward relieving the suffering
Cubans than any other move. A general
resumption of work on the plantations,
railroads and mines would simplify the
problem of taking care of the territory
now under the American flag.
Three of four cargoes of the Santiago
ore came to Baltimore every week. Some
of it was sent ‘to Pittsburg. On the re
turn the vessels carried out bacon, lard,
flour and coal It is confidently believed
now all this large trade will be resumed.
WHITE PANTS
Floated from Masthead of the Vizcava in
Token of Her Surrender,
New York. July 20. — A letter from a san
man on the battleship lowa, received here
today, tells of a ludicrous occurrence at a
tragic moment during the naval battle off
Santiago on July 3. It was just after the
lowa had sent a broad side from her big
guns into the Vizcaya. The shock had
set the crew of the lowa gasplug, and had
even thrown some of the m< n to the deck,
while a thick smoke obscured the crew'.
When the smoke drifted away the Viz
caya was seen headed for shore, and from
her gaff, where a Spanish ensign had been,
floated a pair of white duck trousers. It
was probably the only article handy that
could be quickly gotten ready.

New York. July 20—The press today

really smallpox.

The foreign army and naval officers on

took pot luck with the convalescents. The
steamer between decks was filthy and not
fit for human beings to occupy. The bunks
were built of rough boards and looked
like cattle pens. The ice gave out first

unfit for use. The washing of the

BIG FIGHT.
Winner Will Have Trouble—M'Coy and Cor
bett Will Likely Make a Draw,
New York, July 20.—Peter Maher has
left 'New York for a few weeks in the
mountains, Corbett, McCoy and Fitz are
all at their summer villas, leaving Shar
key and Jeffries to hold the fort in Go
ham and issue their daily challenges to
the world. There won’t be much room for
talk, however, until after the Corbett-Mc-
Coy affair in Buffalo, on September 10,
and the winner of this will have about
five or six men to handle right off the reel.
The match should be the most clever
one ever fought in this or any other coun
try, and it is doubtful whether at the end
of 20 rounds either man will have a mark
to show for the engagement. Both men
are fast, cautious, scientific to a degreee,
and of about equal strength, with the bal
ance perhaps in favor of McCoy. There is
one other point in the youngster’s favor —
he has never been known to lose his tem
per, and if Corbett should take his bal
loon route, as he did In his fight with Mit
chell, his chances would not be worth
much,

attend the opening exercises of the re

indication today that the crowd would
double that of yesterday.

hotels last night and. but for the arrange
ments made by the committee which fur
nished sleeping quarters to 2.000 veterans
at the park many old flghetrs would have
been compelled to walk the streets.
The interest of the day centered in the
convention at Piedmont Park.
The Kentucky delegation was early at
work among the delegates in its efforts to
secure the next encampment tor Louis
ville. The delegation from tho 'Louisville
board of trade had its lines out some time
and the delegation already sees good re
sults.
Charleston is putting up a strong fight.
The claims of the South Carolinians are
that their state furnished more men in the
civil war than Kentucky and that Louis
ville is out of the way.
South Carolina has the support of Texas
in the contest and claims that the state
holds the deciding vote.
Among those who arrived early and took
seats on the stand was Gen. Charles E.
Hooker, of -Mississippi, orator of the day.
Governor Atkinson, of Georgia. General
Dickinson, commanding the Florida divis
ion. and Gen. Steiphen D. Lee, who is look
ed upon by some as a candidate for com
mander in chief.
Before the gathering was called to order
three cheers were given for “the gallant
son of Alabama, Lieutenant Hoibson, fol
lowed a moment later by three more for
the famous cavalry officer now at the
front, Gen. Joe Wheeler
Gen. John B. Gordon, commander In
chief, arrived at 11:20 o'clock and was
given a tremendous ovation. Cheer after
cheer swept through the hall and the audi
ence could not 'be stilled for five minutes.
Gen. Clement A. Evans, .commander of
the Georgia division called the convention
to order at 11:30 and prayer was offered
by Rev. J. AV. Williams Jones, of Virginia,
chaplain general of the United Confed
erate Veterans.
The welcoming addresses was delivered
by Mayor Collier, Representative T. B.
Felder, Col. W. A. Hemphill and Governor
Atkinson.
The impatient veterans could not wait
for their idol and before the music which
followed the last welcoming address ceas
ed, cries of “Gordon, Gordon” were heard
from all parts of the auditoriaum.
General Gordon was happily introduced
by General Evans. Tihe general, although
pale and showing plainly the effects of his
recent illness, was in good voice.
At the conclusion of his speech the con
vention organized and Hon. C. E. Hooker,
of Mississippi, delivered the oration of the
day.

THE
REUNION
SALE.
No inducement suffices here to sell un
worthy goods. If poor people are too poor to buy
substantial Clothing they’ll find out some day that
the inferior quality was very dear, and we do not
want them to say that they got a bad bargain at
our stores. No matter how low our prices we
keep up the standard of reliability. We invite
the customer’s confidence and endeavor to prove
ourselves deserving of it by showing that it is
never misplaced. We confess ourselves to be
human and with all safeguards sometimes make
mistakes. So do our customers —at least they say
so. We are preparing for the alliance. August
is uot too far off. Are you profiting by the present
offerings?
