sion.
HONG KONG, Aug. 15. Delayed information from Manila is to the effect that
there has been renewed activity on the part of the Spaniards of late, due to the belief that
American resources have been exhausted and that McKinley is sueing for peace. Accord
ing to the same authority the insurgents throughout the island of Visayas are reported to
have signified their intention of joining Aguinaldo. The German cruiser Kaiaerin Au
gusta has arrived here, having left Manila yesterdaj-. She reports the situation there un
changed, but her officers are extremely reticent.
PERCY WING
IS DROWNED
A Washougal Teacher Loses Her Life
Amid the Breakers at Seaside, on
Clatsop Beach.
Seaside, Or., Aug. 15. Miss Percy
Wing, a young lady about 20 years old,
and a teacher in Washougal schools, was
today at 11 o'clock bathing with a crowd
in front of Grimes' hotel when the un
dertow earried her out beyond the help
ot her companions, and she was
frowned.
Frank Russell, son of a wealthy Clark
county fruitgrower, to whom Mies Wing
was engaged, went half a mile for a boat,
and although this took half an hour,
succeeded in reaching her before ehe
Bank. Drs. O. B. Estes, of Astoria, and
II. R. Littlefield, of Portland, after
working on the unconscious form for
about two hours, gave her up. Young
Russell and his friends worked half an
hour longer before they realized that she
was beyond help. Russell, who recently
returned from Skagway, expected eoon
to marry Miss .Wing, and is beside him
eelf with grief.
The deceased leaves a widowed moth
er, with whom she was camping here in
the grove.
From the fact that the body did not
eink for nearly half an hour, Dr. E9tes
expresses the opinion that Miss Wing
died from heart shock and not from
drowning. The body will be shipped to
Washougal for burial..
FIERCE FIGHT
AT MANILA
Americans Held Their Position Of

form Dewey and Merritt.
WASHiKGTONAug. 15. U-itil Manila
is in closer touch with the rest of the
world than it has been during the last
three and a halt months, officials here
will be harassed by gravest anxiety re
garding the ocenrrences in that vicinity
The last news from Manila was dated
ten days ago, and deecribed the fierce
fighting of the Malate on J uly 31et,when
the Americans held their position, which
had been assaulted. Aug 3d there was
cannonading all day. The Monterey

the third expedition, and at the time
the dispatch vessel left, preparations
were being made for an immediate as-

sault upon the city. It was known that
General Merritt was only awaiting these
reinforcements to demand its surrender
and to give notice of a naval bombard
ment. Under the cirourn?tances every pre
caution was taken last Friday to inform
Admiral Dewey and General Merritt
with the least possible delay of the in
formal signing of the protocol and the
suspension of hostilities.
Secretary Alger is confident that the
Spanish general will welcome tne news
and cheerfully obey the instructions ca
bled to him from Madrid to lay down
his arms, and no eerions complication
is expected to arise with the insurgents
at present. The chief alarm relates to
the sacrifice of life which may have
taken place since August 3th, and to the
possibility that Agninaldo and his sol
diers may have entered the city from a
point on the north while the Spaniards
were fighting with the Americans on
the 8outb. In that case it is feared
wholesale slaughter may have taken
place and much valuable property have
been deatroyei.

CONFLICT CLOSED
IN PORTO RICO
Spaniards Receive Notice of the End of
the Fighting Fears are Expressed
that Spaniards May Terrorize the
Natives During Period of Nego
tiations. Poxce, Porto Rico, Aug. 15. On Sat
urday General Miles notified General
Macias, at San Juan, by cable of the
signing of the protocol, and today he
received from Macias an acknowledg
ment of the receipt of the notification.
General Miles also sent Captain Mick
ler, under a flag of truce, to communi
cate the intelligence to the Spanish
commander at Aibonito.
General' Miles says Aibonito would
have been-his within four days, bad not
the protocol been signed.
General Miles is uncertain whether he
will remain here during the period of
the negotiations for the peace, but the
four army columns will remain where
they are nntil the negotiations are com
pleted. Fears are expressed by the natives
that duriDg the period of the treaty ne
gotiations the Spanish troops may be
given free license within their lines to
terrorize the inhabitants. If it should
be the case, Miles says the Americans
would be powerless to interfere.

most equat to the indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant has been attached to each de

collect all taxes by seizure and sale of
property. With a bountiful ctop now

A lilac bush in bloom at this season
of the year is something of an oddity,
J. . Miller has one of the sbrnbs in his
yard in North Pendleton which ceased
blooming for the first crop of flowers
about Decoration day. Mr. Miller then
put his scheme into effect and forced a
second growth of blossoms, with which
the bush is now covered. lie says lilac
bushes can be made to bloom twice each
year if a person only knows bow to
go about it. Many interested in the
cultivation of flowers liaTe visited this
rare specimen of August-blooming lilac,

There is only one way to care deafness,
and that ie by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed eon
dition of tbe mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube ia in
flamed you bare a rambling sound or
imperfect bearing, and when St Is ea
tirely eloeed, Deafness is the mult, and
unless the inflammation can betaken
out and this tube restored to its norma)
condition, bearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing bat an in

We will give One Hundred Dollars for
