TrtE British consul at Manila paid a fine tribute to American character re cently. A Spanish woman came to him with doubts and fears and inquiries as to whether the Americans were such as were described in the proclamation of Governor General Augusti, and received the reply: "Madam, honor and virtue are safer in Manila today than they have been for 5300 years." Davenport Gazette. The man who fired the first gun at Manila, says the Rochester Union and Advertiser, was Charles Cavanaugh, aged 21 years, a gunner on Dewey's flagship, the Olympia. Young Cavanaugh comes all the way from Harvey county, Kan. Having been born and reared in the great corn belt, nearly two thousand miles from salt water, he naturally comes to the front as a sea fighter. The prairie states can produce everything and plen ty of it- Ox the morning of July 4, at 5 o'clock the French Transatlantic steamer La Bonrgogue, which left New York the Saturday before for Havre, sank after a collision with the British ship Cromar tyshire in a dense fog, sixty miles south of Sable island. Only 200 persons were saved out of the 800 souls aboard the Bourgogne, and the details of the disas ter are very discreditable to the French crew. Only one woman was saved. Men and women too were pushed away from boats with oars, and not only that but pushed deep into the water. If the millions of money wasted by Spain in this war had been spent during the last fifty years in 'the education of Us people, how different would have been the .fortune of that ill-fated coun try. At the last census Spain's popula tion slightly exceeded 17,000,000, of whom 11,000,000 could neither read nor write. Those that can read are com pelled to draw information from a press that has travestied the history of the -war from the beginning. The people of Spain do not know what they are fight ing for or the strength of the nation they are fighting against. Cedar Bap ids Outlook. According to Textile America, the coming textile fiber plant is the ramie, from which a great variety of the most important fabrics are beginning to be made. Its utility is alike in the finish and durability of the goods and the cheapness of the raw material.

America's plan ia to have peace, even if you must fight for it, and the present conflict, if it can justly be entitled to that name, only illustrates this general principle which has actuated the people of the United States since the organiza tion of the government. The new translation of the Angela Song seems to be the ideal for Uncle Sam since Dewey fired the shots '-heard round the world," viz: "Peace on earth to men of good will,' not forgotting, of course, that thus there is "glory to God in the highest The United States, as a nation, is no longer a babe in arms, so to speak, to be fed on milk, "pleased with a rattle and tickled with a straw, asking mere leave to live, but is as a strong, ablebodied, active, alert man among men, anxious to know what is right, willing to learn from any source, and insisting that others shall at least show a willingness to know and to do the right thing. Centuries and decades are with na tions as days and hours are with men, and it seems nearly time for this nation to consider what next to do. We have heretofore said that the Spanish people will probably have no better real friends than the people now represented by William McKinley, as president, but the facts of this war, so far at least, have had a tendency to convince them that dark ways '-and tricks that are vain" will not always work; that darkness and the sti letto are after all no match against light and marksmanship; that ignorance, treachery and cruelty are always over matched by intelligence, fair and open dealing and honorable treatment. If Spain sues for peace (as seems at this date, July 9, to be likely), what next? One thing sure, there ought to be no more Spanish Satanics on this conti nent, nor any unspeakable Turkish tricks on the eastern continent. Therefore, the great, self-respecting nations that mean well on this earth and are devoted to progress, at least, if not to such a form of civil government as we have, must, by their mutuality of in terest, conserve the peace of the world. This two months war has hinted to the -comprehension of the dullest ear what scientists have been sure of for some time, viz: that war can be made so fearfully destructive of life aud property that it will not pay, in any sense, to go to war with a power that is equipped for it.

Made the Trip From Charleaton to Santi ago Ia a Trifle Le Than Two Days aud a Half Sbe Had oa Board the filxtk Massachusetts and Gen eral Miles War News. Washington, July 12. General Nel son A. Miles, commanding the United States army, arrived off Santiago bay shortly after noon yesterday. On the arrival of the auxiliary cruiser Yale, on which General Miles was a passenger, communicatiou was opened with Ad miral Sampson and the two command ers were soon in confidence. During the early afternoon General Miles lauded at Playa del Este and com municated with General Shafter, com- ." OESRHAL MILES. numding the American forces before Santiago, by telephone. Wliat the na ture of the two communications was is not disclosed at the war department, but General Miles doubtless was placed iu possession of all salient points of the situation from the view of both the army and navy. It is understood to have been General Miles' purpose to proceed immediately to General Shafter's headquarters at Siboney aud after discussing with Shaf ter the latter's plan of campaign, to make a personal examination of the American position. It is not to be sup posed that Genera! Miles is to super cede General Shafter iu command of the United States forces before Santiago. General Sliafter is operating uuder written instructions from the secretary of war, approved by the president, and as long as he is able physically to direct the troops he will retain his command. A prominent official of the war de partmont said that neither the adminis tration nor General Miles had any de sire to detract au iota from the credit due General Shafter for the plans by which he boix-s to achiove a victojy at Santiago. Yale Makes a Fast Kun. The notably fast run made by the cruiser Yule from Charleston to San tiago is particularly pleasing to the naval officials. She left Charleston Saturday morning at 2 o'clock, making the run iu a trifle less than two days and a half. She liad on board the Sixth Massachusetts, one of the regiments of General Garretson's brigade. The Columbia, which left Charleston practically simultaneously with the Yale, carried one battalion of the Sixth Illinois also a part of Garretson's brig ade. So far as can be learned at this writing the Columbia has not arrived off Santiago. The arrival of General Miles and the conference betweeu him and the com manding officers of the army and navy is taken by some to indicate that if fighting occurred today it was not of a serious character, for with a heavy en gagement in progress it would hardly be possible that Admiral Sampson or General Shafter would find time for conference. It is thought that possibly the arrival of General Miles caused a suspension of active operations in order that the entire situation might be dis cussed. But this view of the situation is speculation and without definite ad vices no one can say exactly what the day has brought forth at Santiago. Of ficials contend that a delay of a day or two can only regal? in bettering the position of the American forces, give opportunity for the reinforcements to go to the front and allow the newly ar rived artillery to be placed in advanta geous ocations. It Ls believed that a final attack ia not far distant. Kadearer Convention Closes. Nashville, Tenn., July 12. The closing session of the 17th international Christian Endeavor convention was held here last night and already many delegates were homeward bound, while others left today for Ohickaniauga. While the attendance upon this conveij Hon has not been as large as was ex pected, among thoee-who attended were many of the most prominent members of the society and the addn&ees made and sermons delivered have been of the highest order and in perfect keeping with the program which leading mem bers claim to have been the best ever nreeented to a coorentkai.

(Copyrighted 1893 by the Associated Press.) Oef Santiago de Cuba (via Playa del Este), July 11: At 9:30 this morning after several range finding shots over j the ridge protecting Santiago from the sea the Newark opened fire into the ! city with her eight-inch guns. The signal corps officers stationed on top of the ridge reported the effect of the shots. The New York, Brooklyn and Indiana participated in the firing at intervals of five minutes. The bom bardment lasted for two hours, when General Shafter reported that the shells were mostly falling in the bay, doing little damage. The last shot struck a prominent church in the heart of the city, which was heavily stored with powder and lunmunition, causing a great explosion. The extent of the damage is not yet known. When the ships' had ceased and before Shafter had began a land at tack, a flag of truce was seen coming from the city. The object of this was not known at noon. At 2 o'clock the United State auxil iary cruiser Yale, with General Miles and the United States protected cruiser Columbia arrived. Rear Admiral Sampson visited Gen eral Miles immediately on his arrival and then the Yale went to Siboney, General Miles and his personal staff landing in a pouring rain. DEADLY FIRE ON SUNDAY. Artillery Buel Conducted lu a One Sldad Way. (Copyritflit 1398 by A .' iated Press.) Headquarters ok General Shafter, July 10. (via Port Antonio and Kings ton, Jamaica), July 12. From 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon until dark the Amer ican guns have again been pouring a deadly fire into the Spanish lines. Our men are greatly refreshed by their three days rest aud have been fighting with lioulike spirit. The knowl edge of the arrival of reinforcements gives them new enthusiasm. The artillery is in place and doing effective work. The fire from the Spaniards in the trenches is very weak. The city of Santiago is almost in darkness and our men believe that the resistance of the Spaniards is about at an end. They expect a general assault tomorrow should the city not have sur rendered by daybreak. The Americans are much better fortified in the trenches. Final Struggle In On. Washington, July 12. Secretary Long, Admiral Sicard, Captain Mahau and Captain Crowiushield of the naval war board held a conference with the president at the White House at noou. On leaving the conference at 1 o'clock Secretary Long said that nothing had been received indicating that a decisive engagement was on at Santiago. In answer to au inquiry the secretary said that he expected to get news of the fall of Santiago at any hour. The indica tions are that all truces are off and that the final struggle may even now be on. The officials here do not conceal their apprehension that the enemy may escape from Santiago under cover of darkness, and are consequently relieved each day when the dispatches from the front show that 'they still occupy the town. J The president himself was so much con cerned over the possible escape of the Spanish force that he directed the seud iug of explicit orders to General Shafter to prevent it at all hazards. Several telegrams were received at the navy department overnight from Admiral Sampson. It is said that they did not relate to the attack on Santiago, but touched the organization of Wat son's expedition and the movement of certain transports which had been the object of inquiry. General Shafter's available force to day, after counting all reinforcements and deducting the dead, sick and wounded, is 22,850 fighting men, accord ing to military estimates. Bnt One Ship Can Be Saved. Off Santiago de Ccba, July 10, (via Kingston, Jamaica, July 12.) The board of survey appointed to examine the wrecks of the Spanish ships and to inquire into the nature of their injuries report that only one ship can possibly ae saved. She is the Infanta Maria Teresa, the former flagship of Admiral Cervera. Religious Riots In China. Shanghai, July 12. A dispatch from Chaung Khing dated July 8, says the protestants and Catholic missions at Shuiu and Ching Foo have been at tacked by rioters and Yoen Chong and adjacent cities are much disturbed. A French priest has been captured by brigands and a ransom of 10,000 taels is demanded for his release. Several na tives have been killed and much prop erty has been destroyed. The situation is critical. The consuls at Chung Khing are on the alert. Chung Khing is quiet. Worthless Rifles For Kansas. Washington, July 12. The officers at Camp Alger are endeavoring to complete the equipment of the Second army corps. The Seventh Ohio re cently received arms and accouterments sufficient to supply the regiment.

The Madrid corre spondent of The Times, telegraphing Monday, says: Senor Sagasta went to the palace today and tendered his resignation and that of the cabinet. It is said that he advised the queen regent to appoint a new cabinet, largely consisting of the military element, which would not nec essarily mean the adoption of a warlike policy, but probably the reverse. It is generally expected that the resig nation will be accepted; but the result may possibly be a partial reconstruction of the cabinet. The ministers are now in council and Senor Sagasta has doubt less given them an account of his audi ence with the queen regent. The cabinet resigned in consequence of irreconcilable differences of opinion on the question of initiating peace ne gotiations. Conditions of Peace. Madrid, July 12. It is asserted that the United States makes the following demands as conditions of peace: First, The possession of Cuba and Porto Rico, with a port in the Canaries; Seooud, An indemnity of 48,000,000, about 240, 000,000; Third, The retention of the Philippines as a guarantee of the pay ment of the indemnity. These terms are regarded as impossible. Advices From Canaries. London, July 12.

Omar D. Conger was born in New York stato in 1818 and became a resident of Michigan in 1845. He was identified with public life in that state from 1850. He was a Republican in politics and was elected to the senate in 1881 and served ix years. He had previously represented the state in the house of representatives, for 14 years. His son, Frank D.

ELEVEN HEN ARE KILLED Explosion In a Submarine Tun nel Near Cleveland. EFFORTS TO SEOUBE BODIES FAIL. Catastrophe Occurs Six Thousand Feet From the Shore In the Bottom of Lake Erie City Refused Permission to Change the Course of the Tunnel Not u Witness of the Explosion Survives. Cleveland, July 12. The lives of 11 men were snuffed out in the twinkling of an eye last night in the big water works tunnel being constructed in the bottom of Lake Erie as a result of an explosion of gas. Killed. John Parks, foreman, 32 years old And single. James Parks, brother of John, SO years old and single. John Fradey, Italian, 82 years, single. Tony Brunetti, Italian, 22 years old and single. Frank Lamba, Italian, IB years old and single. Emerson Smith, bricklaer, 44 years old, married. John McCauley, 21 years old, married. William Tucker, colored, 26 years old and single. Gus Wattse. 28 years old, wife and sev eral children. FaaNK Clements, married, with several children. Frank Hanby, married, aged 22. The tunnel is an immense affair, being built to extend outward from the shore for a distance of four and a half miles, and it has been under construction for more than a year. The work has been attended with great difficulty. About six weeks ago there was an explosion of gas in the shore end of the big hole, which killed eight men and injured a number of others. Soon afterward a big pocket of quicksand was struck and was stopped for some time. The con tractors then asked for permission to deflect the course of the tunnel from the route fixed by the city engineers, but it was refused. Work was finally resumed and had progressed unevent. fully until last evening, when the latest and most horrible accident came. The explosion occurred at a few minutes before 7 o'clock, but nobody will ever be able to tell what caused it or how it happened, for every witness is dead and the bodies of all are lying where they fell, 6,000 feet out in the lake. The pnly man in the tunnel wlw escaped is Con O'Donnell, a lock tender, who was stationed 3,700 feet from the shore. He beard the explosion or series of explo sions. He says there were IP of these shocks and the concussion was some thing terrible, for it threw him off his feet and for hours he was in such a dased condition that he could scarcely remember what had happened. Ha finally groped his way out and told what had occurred. Rescaers Forced Back. Two men, PatrickVonseer and Martin McCauley, were the first to venture in the tunnel after the accident occurred. They made their way to a lock 5,000 feet from the shore, but were overcome by the gas and fell to the floor. When they failed to return, a young man named James Clements, son of one of the men killed, and who was employed as a mule driver, went to then rescue. He found them almost unconscious, lying over a mule cart, and succeeded n helping them to the well at the shore endpf the tunnel. The would-be res cuers say all the lights were out beyoud the 5,000 feet lock and they could not go any further, A second rescuing party was made up of Patrick Gayton, Mike McCauley, Dan Rogers, Barney Hughes and Ed Corbett. It failed utterly in accom pliahing anything, as the tunnel was Iliad with foul fas and jrooke, Sharpshooters Tournament. New Youk, July 12. The second tri-' ennial tournament of the National Sharpshooters' Union of America, ' which has been in progress at Glendale park, since July 3, came to an end to day. The shooting competitions com pared to those three years ago, were comparatively slim. At the tourua- i ment just ended $ir.;w7 was realized from the shooting con tot against nearly $32,000 three years ago. Those in charge of the affair place the blame on the war as well as selecting the same place twice in succession. Red Cross Iu Hawaii. Washington, July 12. The secretary of state on the 5th int. advised the war department of the receipt of a dispatch from the United States minister at Hawaii, dated the 11th ult., statiug that the Red Cross society had formed there, having for its immediate purpose the caring for sick American soldiers pass ing through Hawaii to Manila, or whom it may be necessary to land on their re turn. The society is provided with funds, buildings aud au efficient corps of nurses. Reduce Paseuger Kate. Chicago, July 12.
