The latest news from Manila, and rews that was most gratifying to the authorities here, was a telegram from Merrittt announcing that the cable was tpen again, having been repaired where rut by Dewey. That news came Satur day night and was confirmed yesterday by the following from Merritt which was dated "Manila. Aug. 21." and came straight through all the way by cable: '"Major Oeneral Otis, v.ith steamers Peru and City of Pu b'.a. has arrived; till: jio casualties." There is considerable difference of cplnion as t the exact significance of the terms of c apitulation; but, the t-es:. Koyal saak.s the food pare. wholesome and tfellctema FOVDER Absolutely Pur OVAL HUM MSEC CO., BS lOSL, opinion ODtatr.inie construed the lan guage to embrace all Spanish posses sions in the Philippines, and not Ma nila alone. While the preamble specifi cally cites the functions of the commis sion to be "to determine the details of the capitulation of the city and de fences of Manila and its suburbs and the Spanish forces stationed therein," It is pointed cut that the word "sub urbs" is .an elastic -exbtesjlon. -and the ADMIRAL SAMPSON", language of artif I- ne stating that the Spanish troops, both the Kuropean and the native, capitulate "with" the city and ciefcr.' fs. goes to emphasize this construction The forego.r.g was the opinion Satur day night, as alleged, but yesterday it was modi tied, and it was generally agreed that the word 'suburb" had a distinc t meaning and could not be ex panded tu cover the earth. It can b; said authoritatively that the President is quite satisfied with the terms as made by icncral Merritt and Admiral Dewey. It is piir.ted out that the terms of the capitulation of Manila can have but little effect upon the action of the Paris peace commission in any event. The protocol as signed by the ac credited representatives of the govern ments of the United States and Spain provides for the cession of the city, bay and harbor of Manila to the United States, and Kaves to the peace commis sion to determine the disposition and government of the Philippine islands. There wer- five men killed and forty three wounded in the final assault on Manila. Aug;. i:i. WAS A (ilCKAT WKI.COM K HOME. That New York (iave Hie Chief Warship of SauipMiu'N Squad ran. New York. Aug. 22. Hundreds of thousands of people along the banks of the Hudson and thousands on all styles of river craft blended their shouts in a i'oyal welcome to the returned North Atlantic equadron under command of Itear Admiral Sampson, and as fine as August day as cuu!d ! desired was nature's tribute to the return of the victors. For almost three solid hours Eteam whis.'cs of all "izes. steam sirens and small ' uns alcng the shores. shrieked and boomed in the effort to display the heartiest enthusiasm for the Iioine-coinin'jc of the naval heroes with their battle scarred ships. The ships taking part in the parage were the New York (dagshlp). Iowa. Indiana. Brooklyn. Masra husetts, Oregon and Texas. When the parade reached the River- Fide Drive the scene was like u vast amphitheatre. Tens of thousands of persons covered the green slope, and as the battleships approached a mighty cheer arose that reverberated bac k and forth across the Hudson. At the lot toin of the slope an observation train crawled lazily a'.otiir. keeping even with the ships. Alx-ve this the yast sea of humanity, and crowning this Oeneral Grant's tomb, which was to mark the beginning of the return of the squad ron and where a national salute of twer.ty-one guns was fired. The tomb, standing high, white and solemn, far above the waters of the river, looked to be built upon a foundation cf faces. It was an imposing spectacle as the battleships boomed a salute to the na tion as the warships saluted the II nil resting plac e of Ceneral Grant, and the guns that sour.de d the knell of Admiral Cervera's ships at Santiago boomed a reverential obeisance to the dead hero. Th salute ended, the return of the siuadron along the line of review was begun. It was a repetition of the en thusiastic scenes on the way up the river. CAMPS TO KE INVESTIGATED.

One of the Trains Itehinel Time. The two trains which were Jn the col lision were usually combined into one long train, but as the traffic was so heavy it was divided, the first section running as a local accommodation while the second, which started from Mans- lleld fifteen minutes later than the first. ran as an express. The locaj train was thirteen minutes late. It left Mansfield on time, making two stone, and had lost thethlrteen minutes between Mans field and Sharon. It was due in Canton Junction, the next station beyond Sharon, two minutes ahead of the ex press train, which should have passej it there. Sharon is situated on a curve. and both the outward and inward tracks are protected by electric block signals. Warning Whistle Win Too I.atc. There was no warning given by the conductor of the MansIIe'd local to Ehow the approaching train that the track was not clear at the statb n. and it was not until he was within 400 feet of the station that the engineer of the express noticed anything wrong. He immedi ately set all brakes and whistled the warning, but it was too late to stop the express. It crashed into the rear car. splitting it asunder and completely de molishing it with the excejion of th roof. The escaping steam entered the car and badly scalded a number of the occupants. The roof of the last car was forced on top of the eng-ino. of the ex press and remained there as the only portion of the car intact. THREE KNOWN' TO ISE DEAD In the Ruins of the National Hotel at Hot Springs Others Hurt. ( Hot Springs. Ark.. Aug. 22.

The fire originated in the National hotel and before it was discovered one entire side and the tep of the building was in flames and the roof ready to collapse. The guests were aroused by the intense heat to find the building falling in upon them and the stairway leading to the first floor, which was their only means of escape from the second and third stories, burn ing fiercely. There was but one way to life a jump out of the windows and that was the way Hughes died. The others were burned to death. GAS PLUG BLEW OUT.

Tanner on the Proposal to Bring Out- . sitle Men to Tana. Springfield, Ills., Aug. 22. To a dele gation of striking miners who called on him Saturday to ask his assistance against the coal operators at Pana in the matter of bringing in negro miners from dther states to take the places of the strikers. Governor Tanner said that if the strikers' statements were true the mine owners were at fault; that in any event he had no sympathy with the plan of Importing labor into Illinois, black or white: that we had enough Citizens and taxpayers in Illinois to per form all the work, or, in other words, to supply all the demand for labor; also, that the importing of labor would not have the sympathy of the adminis tration, nor. in his opinion, of the pub lic, and if they did so the mine owners did it at their own peril, and those that came as imported bodies into the state came at their peril. However, he pro posed to maintain order and protect lif3 and property, and said the miners must obey the laws if they expected to re-tain the good opinion of the administration and the public. Lincoln, Ills., Aug. 22. Captain D. II. Harts, principal owner of the Pana coal mine, where so much trouble is existing among strikers, declared Sat urday to the Associated Press repre sentative that they would put outside non-union men to work in their mine no matter what may be the conse quences, as they will not let their mines Stand Idle, and under existing circum stances they cannot afford to pay the district or arbitration scales.

The resolutions adopted are good enough expansion for almost anybody. Where they get down to buisness they say: 'We believe that the rescued and lib erated people of the surrendered islands are in a senso temporarily the wards of the conquering nation and that we should treat them as such. With our view of natural right and of the ines timable privileges of civil liberty we ehould not be justified in returning the coneiuered islands to the misrule and oppression from w hich we have re lleved them.
