PRRsEKBK OF BERMANS
Causing Much Talk But Means
Nothing.
Vancouver, B. C. July 21. —
According to advices brought by
the empress oLlndia, from Hong
Kong, the chief news from there
is that Manila is ready to sur
render. Not that the archbishop
and captain general voluntarily
will capitulate before they are
compelled to do so, but that the
backbone of resistance is unques
tionably broken and upon real
show of force and intention to
bombard the town if the officials
do not give in, the Spaniards
will haul down the Spanish Hag.
Intimations to this effect were
received from many sources.
The correspondent of the
Hong Kong Press, writing un
derdate of June 23rd, says the
chief subject of discussion in
Manila and Cavite and in the
American fleet 1. the presence
there of so many German men*
of-war and transports or supply
vessel* in port.
“1 have just interview a lead
ing Englishman here on the
subject. He unhesitatingly in
formed me that all foreigners in
Manila, as we>l as Spaniards,
regard it as a remarkable dem
onstration. lam sure that the
Spaniards have received encour
agement from such a naval dis
play. A Spaniard today told me
i'»at the coining of a large Ger
man squadron was construed by
Imi and leading Spanish offi
cials as h direct act of friendly
inter st and warning toward the
Yankees that they could not go
tou far. Now when a Spaniard
oi influence, as this (nan is, wild
talk like that it is high time to
asc rtain what the Germans
mean by appearing here in such
forces.
“I am familiar.” my imfor

man interests “in Manila and my
relations with the Germans are
very agreeable and I am positive
that one German ccuiser would
l»e fully able to protect them to
everything they required.”
Further details of the fight of
May Ist filter through high offi
cials of Manila as time passes
It now appears, according to
authentic information in the
hands of Consul Williams, that
out of 491 men, in the Reina

hxn Francisco, July 20.-—A
Chronicle,special from Cavite,
dated June 23d, says that in
Clße of the expected bomnard
“tent of Manila the area to
which the Spanish may retire
will be limited to the American
and insurgent lines surrounding
the city. There may come the
struggle, for the Spaniards have
burrored entrenchments and for
tiiied the hills and knolls. It is
k iowu here that every energy is
bent within the city to prepare
for the final struggle. The. peo

The Alleged Death. Was an
Uncomprising Rebel.
New York, Julv 21.—A King
ston, Jamaica, cable to The
Evening Post says that Cubans
arriving from Siboney brings re
ports of the death of Gen. Garcia.
They make a mystery of it, say
ing that it should not be’ known
in Cuba yet or in the United
States for reasons of state and
give no particulars except that
he was shot.
Spanish refugees here who aie
officially connected with Gun.
Blanco,'believe the story.
The last word directly received
by the Cuban junta in this city
from Garcia was dated near Sa i
tiago, July 11th. It. w s h cable
message and stated briefly that
he was well and that progress of
events was satisfactory. At that
time j ircia was to the west of
S nitiago guirding the ap
proaches from expected re-en
forciments to the city.

“I am greatly suprised,” said
he, '‘but Ido not find it hard to
credit the dispatch.
“During the assult on Santiago
Garcia was in the west with bis
command with the special duty of
intercepting re-enforcements and
cutting off the retreat of the Span

there was at an end. But it appear

“It ia.no t unlikely that Garcia

It is freely predicted that there
will not be a bloodless capitula

that there will be a long and
bloody resistance.

QUITE ROMANTIC
Mr; John Carl Doss Secretly
Married
TO MISS ALVH HARRIS
Bridal Couple United Under a
Big Sweetgum Tree.

* •
Standing with clasped hands, in
the public highway and uud-r the
protecting boughs of a giestisweet
gum tree, on Tuesday afternoon
one week ago, Mr. John Carlton
Doss and Miss Alva Harris were
united in the holy bounds, of wed*
look.
This announcment will be news
to the people of R >me and sur*
rounding county and will call
down upon the popular- young
' couple a shower of congratulations
from a wide circle of friends.
The ceremony was moat impres
sively performed by Judge Walter
Harris ard occurred five miles
from Rome in the Flatwoods sec
tion of G ’d's country.
The marriage is quite romantic,
first because the young people
have loved each other sine • child
hood, second because, as cons ns,
their parents have objected to a
union and t ird because of the
ingenuity desplaved by the young
peopl in panning the weffdii g and
the unusual circums'ances th it
surrounded the final cousumation
of those plans and the secrecy
with which they were executed.
Mr Doßs,th» proud young groom
is connected with the big gents
furnishing bouse of J. B. Watters
dr Son and is one of the moat pop
ular joung men in Rome.
The pretty bride is a daughter
oi “Flatwoods” Joe Harris, cus
of the most successful farmers in
his section of the coun'y. She is
young and beautiful and a woman
of many rare traits of character.
The ceremony, as we have stat
ed was performed by Judge Walter
Harris who drove with tne groom
to a point near the appointed
crystiug place Mr. Doss then
quit the vehicle and took a “near
cut” to the sweetgum tree, follow*
ing a path (brought the woods.
The young lady saw Judge Har
ris drive by and quietly slipped
ut of the house and with nimble
foot and fluttering heart followed
his team down the road. She found
Justice and groom wailing, and
there under the spreading boughs
of the old sweetgum, where often
in the past they had met and
plighted vows of love and confi*
d-nice they were soon made man
and wife.
The bride, afUr the ceremony*
returned to the parental roof and
he groom to his own home.
Yesterday afternoon the young
people met and decided to ke«p
the seer -t no longer and have b<-
gun marrisd life. The brides father
Ms. Ht.r is, is in At’anta attend
ing tne reunion and djee not yet
know of the wedding.
