Early Peace,-
Manila, Philippine Islands, July 18, Via Hong Kong, July 21. Rear-
Admiral Dewey may decide to capture Manila before Gen. Merritt arrives
here. In view of the possibility of an early peace and news from the Jnsur
gents renewing their activity. There has been several vigorous attacks and
some slight bombardments on the outskirts cf the city, to which tho Span-
lards replied with an extravagant shelling.
The Spaniards now say they do not believe that the reinforcements that
were promised them would ever rcaclnthere and they despair of success, but
they condemn the proposal to retire to the citadel, which Is utterly defense
less, as such steps would merely invite a slaughter. Therefore they believe It
would be better to surrender, though fearing public censure. JJowever, they
will probably bo compelled to surrender soon, as food is dangerously scarce.

The Portland City. Jail.
Special to Journal.
Portland, July 21. Til's did agi
tation concerning the dlsfeputablo
den known as the Portland city jail,
has again broken but In violent form
this time on sanitary1 grounds, viz,
that the present structure is a greater
menace to tho public health than the
pestllancc breeding Chinese dens by
which It Is sdrrounded. If anyone'
thing was a blot on the name of our
fair city, surely the fact that Portland
with her hundred thousand Inhabi
tants cannot) afford at least, a decent
house of 'deteritlpn, vVhcrc'thesuspect
can bo held without being compelled
to herd with tho hardened criminal;
where a woman, who may chance to
tall under tho ban of tho law, Is not
compelled to forfeit her self respect
by being locked up with tho more
abandoned class; where oven a child
In the meshes of tho court can be
treated with tho consideration due to
Its tender years, surely these facts
constitute that blot. Then again,
where is tho city tho slzo of Portland
but what has an enclosed polico van,
not dragging the unfortunate suspect
through the most public Btrcets,
which streets tho driver invariably
select, exposed to tho curious gaze
and ribald remarks ot every chance
passer while wo arc reforming let us
