It is Believed that the City Has Capitulat
ed and is Now in the Hands of
the Americans.
PARIS, July 28. Definite information, which is con
firmed by the Madrid advises, has reached here stating that
Manila has fallen and that a formal surrender to Admiral
Dewey has taken place.
NEW KLONDIKES
MAY BE DISCOVERED
It is Thought to be Only the Beginning
of the Golden Harvest Rich Dis
coveries on Stewart River.
Tacoma, July 28. Important develop
ments today give new and even more
dazzling aspect- to the Klon like situa
tion. Information brought by persons
of unquestioned reliability seem to show
that the world has seen c n'y the begin
ning of the golden harvest in the frozen
north. A new Klondike has been dis
covered and it is believed that in thw
vast territory of Alaska and the British
northwest many more Klndikes are to
be uncovered by the prospector's pick.
Fully 5000 prospector! an 1 miners are
already tearing np 'the banks of the
streams, sinking shafts and cross-cutting
with great success.
On Coal creek the deposits of coal will
be of great value in working the dig
gings, and will expedite work by melt
ing the frozen earth. Edwin F. Lang,
of Haverhill, Mass., one of the returned
miners, says that the coal deposits
found are scarcely less valuable than the
gold mines.
The scene of the greatest excitement
at present is in the Stewart river coun
try. This includes a large territory
drained by Stewart river and many trib
utary streams, among the latter being
Clear creek and Coal creek. The de
developments in this region tend to in
dicate that the vield of Dawson Citv
district may be duplicated, and perhaps
exceeded.
Mine Explosion Kills Two Men.
Seattle, Wash., July 28. Meager
particulars were receiyed here today of
an explosion at the Coney mine, near
Skykomisb. Two men were killed,
Charles Walters and B. W. Robinson.
Two others were slightly wounded. The
explosion was caused by the premature
discbarge ot dynamite.

VOLUNTEERS
REFUSET0 FIGHT

the Spanisn Commander.
St. Thomas, D. W. I., July 29. A
mutiny is reported in the Spanish forces
