Washington, Aug. 14. !.v Wed nesday or Thursday of this week, it is expected by war department officials that all of General Shufter's command will have left Santiago for the United States. In a dispatch to the war de partment tonight, General Shafter says that the early departure of the troops now depends entirely.upoTj the transports, which are daily expected to arrive. All but about COUO men Of General Shatter's corps have already sailed for this country. General Shafler's report to the war department concerning the departure of the troops is as follows: Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 14, 3:17 P. M All of the cavalry division, Kent's division, Lawton's division, except the Seventh and First infantry and suspects of these commands, have al ready ailel, leaving Bates" division, the Eij;ht Ohio infantry, battery of light artillery, one battery of heavy artilleiy, four troops or secouu' cavalry and two companies of engineers to go. If the ships expjctel with iramunes set here as th ey ouht to, today or to morrow, will get. most of thecotnmand away within the next two or three days- All depends on the transports. and as they have not arrixed, I jan not closely approximate time. Adjutant-General Corbin has re ceived the followintr: 'Santiago. Aug. 13. The Rio Grai.de, Seneca and Comanche, with the Ninth and Tenth cavalry, Fourth and Twenty fifth infantry, are all loaded and will go out this afternoon, unless hurricanes of which reports have beeu had as blowing south of Jamaica, prevent. The Breakwater, City of Macon and Arcadia will go to morrow with two light batteries and the Twi Isth and Seventeenth infantry. One of the hardest rainstorms we have had is raging this afternoon. Am ireiti.-ig the sick that have to be left in very comfortable condition. Two thousaud Spanish troops are to be loaded tomorrow. Hope to get the troops oil' so as to be able to start the litter pars of the week for the United States. Will ship 400 convalescent Monday. SHAFTER." A dirpitch received by Adjutant General Corbin today from General Sh-ifter iudicates that the health con ditions among the troops at Santiago are improving at the prospects of re turning to the United States.

Everytuing is going very well here, Men that under ordinary cir cumstances would be sick are trying to pull themselves togetht r so as to be ready to go. There ar' a lar-re num ber of typhoid cases.

Gov-rnor-Geueral Auguin refuses to spe. k. The German consul wis called upon, and be informed the correspon- I dent that the outr-kirts of Manila were bombarded by the Americans, and that the city had surrendered. No damage was done to the city propr, only the outskirts being bombarded. The date of the liombardment was un known to the Gorman cousul, who re fused to say more. General Augustin told a lady that Admiral Dewey demanded the sur- euder of Manila in an hour. The Spaniards declined to surrender, and Dewey began the bombardment, and the Spaniards hoisted a white flag. General Augustin immediately jumped nto a German launch, which was in watting, and went to the Kaiserin Augusta, which sailed before the bom bardment was concluded. The b'-m-bardmont occurred on the 13th. Washington, Aug. 16. The de partment of state has just seceived the following: The following dispatch was received at the department of state at 11:15 m., Aug. 15, from Consul Wildman, Hong Kong: ''Augustin says Dewey bombarded Manila Sunday: city surrendered un conditionally. Augustin was taken by Germans in the launch to the Kaiserin Augusta and brought to Hong Kong. i edit report." It the report of General Ausustin be true, and its accuracy is not quos- toned here, the probabilities are that official dispatches will be received by the government in a day or two at the latest. The flight of General Augustin from Manily created some amusing com- meut tonight. As one official expressed it, "Had he maintained his position, hard as it was, until the arrival of the news of peace, he would have been a hero: but he fled, and he will now be branded as a coward." RAILROAD OVER A LAKE. A Curious Freak on a Portion of the Columbia & Astoria Koad. A railroad built over a lake. Such is Dractically the condition of a portion of the Columbia & Astoria line, 50 miles from Pot tland, says the Tele gram, whore a small chunk of the road sank Saturday night. The passengers were transferred around the- gap. A large gang of men, who were put to work ere thij time will have repaired the road. The sinking of the road was curious. It happened near Ciatskanie. At this poiut tha road skirts the end of a bog or marsh. Saturday evening when the last train went over the place it was perfectly level. Sunday morning a chunk of the road 200 feet lone, had sunk to a depth of six or eight feet. A traiu passing after the sinking would have been telescoped. Some of the oficials say that thero is a lake underneath the bog. The sod and grass has (orated a bridge above they tiiink. ouch happenings in railroad building are not new by any means. In North ern California the Spu.tkern Pacific crosses a bog which has no bottom. Pils have been driven in out of sight. Tons and tons of Rock havo been dumped into the plaea without avail. Time and aj?at,a grades have been built across the place, only to com pletely disappear in a night. Finally the expedient of building floating pon toons had to be resorted to. In Micbi gpn is another place of similar nature- Raiiroad engineers scan almost im pregnable peaks with fearless gaze in ths mattar of railway construction, but almost quiver with fear at the prospect of overcoming one of these bottomless bojrfc, SUSTAl.-sFU BY THIS COCRTS. The Validity of the MiHslssippi Election Law is Declared. As was expected, the United Spates supreme court has sustained the valid ity of the iuissifsippi election law. This law was enacted for the purpose of "suppressing" by legal methods the illit rate negro volo of the state, and impo? among other qualification . a rigid educational restriction. The re sult has been to. disqualify the majority of the negro voters of the state and to assure white supremacy in state and total administrations. The supreme court of tha United States holds that as the election law applies to illiterate whites as wU as to the ignorant color ed voters, the restriction imposed by the statute are "within the field of per missible action under the limitations imposed by the federal constitution." Since MUsiaoippi revised its constitu tion and enacted a new election law, South Carolina has takon equally effective measures to restrict the negro vote, and Louisiana will soon be in line, The supreme court has indicat ed the way in which tne southern states can solve the problem of their local governments. Similar measures may not be necessary, however, in other states, in most of which the negro population is considerably less than that of the whites. Another Globe Trotter. T.

The delinquent taxes of Wasco county, as shown on the rolls now in the hands of the sheriff, are $60,000, an amount almost equal to the indebted ness 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 has shown leniency to taxpayers. but that leniency has reached the limit, and the court cannot wait longer on delinquents to make settlement. For this reason a warrant has been at tached to each delinquent roll com manding the sheriff to collect all taxes by seizure and sale of property. With the bountiful crops now in sight, there can no lonirer be any reasonable ex cuse for the non-payment of taxes. The sheriff is bound under oath to comply with the terms of the warrants attached to the tax rolls for the collec tion thereof, and has no option in the matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save ths cist of seizure and sale of preiei'ty by settling their taxes it once, ROBERT Kei.LY, Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wa.-,co County. Dated August 4, 1898.
