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.

Reports From Gilba Bay The Cuban is Dead. INYS’ERY SURROUNDS 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.

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.
