WASHINGTON. Aug, 17. The government is in re
ceipt of the. following report from the hero of Manila.
"MANILA, Aug. 13. Manila surrendered today to the
American land and naval forces, after a combined attack.
A division of the squadron shelled the forts and intrench
ments at Malate and on the south side of the city, driving
back the enemy. Our army advanced from that side at the
same time. The city surrendered about 5 o'clock. The
American flag was hoisted by Lieutenant Brumby. About
7000 prisoners were taken. The squadron had no casulties,
and none of the vessels were injured. On August 7th Mer
ritt and I formally demanded the surrender of the city,
which the governor-general refused. DEWEY."
The second dispatch from the admiral had not been
deciphered np to noon. They both were received early in

laid before the president.
WOMAN MAKES
A RICH FIND
Mrs. Olga Jensen Returns to Civiliza
tion With $9300---She Met With
Many Trying Adventures.
Pobtland, Aug. 17. Mra. Olga Jan
sen is the only woman, aa far as known,
who this season baa come out of the
Klondike with a small competency in
gold.
She came here Monday cn a visit to
friends from Seattle, where she arrived
from the North about ten days ago.
Mra. Janaen is a widow, 35 years old,
and brought down - with her $9300 in
nuggets, which she personally, with the
assistance of her two sods, aged 11 and
13 'years respectively, dng oat of the
ground near Dawson City.
Mrs. Janaen is rather a frail-appearing
woman to undergo the hardships con
nected with -Alaska mining, yet, she
says, she stood the wok better than
many looking more robust than she.
"I arrived in Dawson July 20th, a
year ago," said she this afternoon,
"and staked out a claim. Fortunately,
I had sufficient foresight to bring with
me provisions to do me and my boys ten
months. The food was of the common
est kind, and to that I think we owe our
good health.
"After staking off 'my claim I was
compelled to stand off two men one
whole night, who tried to drive me
away. ' I held them at bay with a shot
gun, which 1 would have need had it
been necessary. The day following I
went into the camp, where r related my
experience. That night a posse of
twenty miners quietly guarded my
property, but the 'jumpers' did not
return."
Mra. Janaen says ber home is in Liv
ermore valley, Calif., on which there is
a $1000 mortgage. Her husband died
there three years ago, and two years
ago she went 'to Juneau with her little
ones to earn enough to lift the mort
gage. There she kept a boarding bouse,
with fair success, till the strike was
made in the Klondike district.
' "It would take me all day to tell you
of the hardships I endured laBt winter."
continued she, to get together my little
fortune. But now that it is over I'm
glad I had a stout heart."
The brave little woman- has turned
her mine over to a brother, who will
divide profits wfth her. -
She' will go' to California tomorrow
night, and will resume civilized life in
her unencumbered home. - .

the Construction in the Near Fu
ture of the Most Formidably Fight
ing Machines Afloat.
Chicago, Aug. 17. A epecial to the
Record from Washington eays:
The navy department will ask con
gress to authorize the construction of
the largest and most formidable battle
ships and cruisers afloat. Veseela with-
I ont equals fn any foreign fleets, and in
comparably superior- in offensive pur
poses, speed and endurance to any of
the magnificent ships which a few weeks
ago destroyed Cervera's equadron.
The naval board has practically agreed
to begin the designing of three battle
ships of between 13,000 and 14,000 tons
displacement, with at least nineteen
knots maintained speed. It was also
determined to recommend three first
class cruisers of about 12,000 tons and of
not less than 22 knots speed, and a class
of protected and partly armored cruis
ers of between 5000 and 7000 tone, aa
well as a new class of 2500-ton cruisers.
The battleships will be designed to
whip any fighting veseel in the world,
of whatever class, and the cruisers are
to be more formidable than any of tbe
vessels of tueir speed up to thia time in
Europe.
NEARLY A BREACH.

The
Carrying of Augustin to Hong
Kong on a German Cruiser- an
Irregular Act. ...
London, Aug. 17. The Times, in an
editorial this morning says:
"As the signing of the protocol could
not have been known when tbe Germans
arranged to remove Governor-General
Augustin, the transaction growa remark
ably near a deliberate breach of neu
trality. But for the German action,
General Augustin would have been a
most important prisoner of war. The
whole story decidedly , wants explana
tion." "

lamette valley is near at band. Picking
will begin between September 5th acd
10th, and in some instances a trifle later,
Tbe yield thia year will equal that of
1897 in quantity, but the Indications now
are that the quality will be more in ac
cord with that of 1896, which waa ex
ceptionally good, being about ninety
per cent -choice. Various estimates

90,000 bales. It is possible, however

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to core deafness,
and that ia' by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when . it is ear
tirely closed,-Deafness is the result, and.
unless tbe inflammation can be taken
out and this to be restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cass out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing' bat an in
flamed condition of tbe mucous ear-'
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
