"The terms of the capitulation of

tween General Jaudencz and General
Merrltt,'lucludes the cessation of the
Philippine archipelago to the United

"An American naval officer who ar
rived from Manila on the Zaflro tells
me that the Americans practically
walked Into Manila. The operations,
he says, were confilncd to the Malate
side of the city, where the Spaniards
had a fort and two lines of trenches.
The troops waded through the Malate
river and walked up to the beach as
though going to lunch, meeting prao
ttcally no opposition.''

went ashore after the capitulation of
Manila, he experienced some difficulty
lu finding General Jaudenez, who ul
timately was found in a church

The Bend Issue.
New York, Aug. 19. Assistant
Secretary of Treasury Vanderllp, who
has been hearing some suggestions
fromdifferent sections, on the possl
bllity ofMimltlng the Issue of bonds
to an amount below $200,000,000, the
full Issue authorized, the Idea of the
suggestors being that the termination
of the war removes the necessity for
more money than will be provided by
the customs and enlarged Internal
revenue receipts, smiled when he wad
asked about the probability of the
adoption of the suggestion, says the
Washington correspondent of the
Times.
"It Is a yery pretty suggestion,"
Mr. Vanderllp said, "but I do not
believe It will be adopted. The treas
ury has already aceppted the loan,
and agreed to furnish the bonds pro
vided for the subscribers, Apartcf
the bonds have beeu sent ont, and
others will follow. It Is true that
there will be less pressing need for
money, as the closing of the war will
remove the necessity, but some large
expenses haye already been Incurred
which must be met, and some will
continue for a while after hostil
ities arc stepped.
"The reports of the trearsury put

AMERICAN INTERESTS.
The
Construction of Our New
Navy
Causing Comment,
London, Aug. 20. The morning
papers comment upon the proposed
Immense increase in the American
navy. The Standard, b'ays:
"such a fleet, operating from Manila
as a base, wouia no auic to exercise
considerable Influence upon the pro
gress of events In Chinese waters, and,
and, added to the English-China
squdron and the Japanese navy,
would make a mighty army ment
Indeed."
The Dally Mall says:
"The new program is startling In
Its Immensity. The Amorlcan navy
jumps to fourth, place among the
world's fleets. It will not long re
main fourth, nor will It be long
before the Unitea States will ihave
a policy In China."

SUICIDE,
Nellie Cody Ends Her Life by Jumping
Overboard.
Portland, Aug. 19. Miss Nellie
Cody, committed suicide here last
night, by jumping from tho steam
boat Altona Into the Willamette
river at 9:45 p. ru. near Oregon City.
The refusal of her sweetheart, Mr.
Surface to marry her Is said to be the
cause. Tho body was not recovered.
Surface and Mica Cody were among
a party of 40 excursionists, who left
on the steamer Altona, for Oregon
City to pass the night. On the way
up the woman was heard to say to
Surface: "If you will not agree to
marry me, I'll make no more trips on
this river."
No attention was paid to tho words.
At Clackamas rapids she rose sud
denly and leaped Into the river. The
boat was stopped at once, but she had
sunk beneath the surface, and no
trace of her could bo found. An effort
was made to find the body, but proved
unsuccessful. The boat was then
headed for Portland, arriving here
about midnight.
After the drowning Surface acted
like an Insane man. It required the
combined efforts of the captain and
engineer of the Altona' to keep him
from committing suicide. At the
Madlson-etrect bridge he attempted
to jump overboard, but was secured,
and when a landing was effected he
was turned over to tho police, ne Is
now In the city jail.
Surface and Miss Cody had been
keeping company for several years,
ne was formerly a fireman on tho
Altona.
