Frets Detpatchea Aigert that Dewey and
Merritt Ht BtciTd the Surrenderor
the Wholo Philippine Group
Washington, I). C, August 18.
War Department made public
today the dispatch of General
Merritt giving the official story
of Manila's fall, and also the text
of the significant instructions
sent (Sen. Merritt yesterday, re
quiring the insurgents and all
others to recognize the authority
of the United States in the terri
tory occupied by our iorces.
Thete dispatches were about the
only positive development of the
day. Nothing has been heard
from General Merritt as to the
casualties last Saturday, except
that he estimated the killed and
wounded at fifty. Another point
on which the officials are with
out definite information is as to
the extent of our present author
ity in the Philippines. Under the
peace protocal the United States
was given the occupation of Ma
nila, with the bay and harbor,
until a permanent disposition of
the Philippine question was
reached. But according to press
dispatches, which are so circum
stantial as to be credited in
most official quarters, General
Meriitt and Admiral Dewey re
ceived the capitulation of the en
tire Philippine Archipelago.
There appears to be some doubt
therefore even among officials as
to wl pther our present authority
t.i:d jurisdiction covers lanila
only, oh yirovided by the peace
protocol, or covers all the Phil
ippines. There is a disposition
to a wait full official information
l oioro laying down a policy as
to the extent of our jurisdiction
in the islands. Secretary Alger
nid today that he had heard
i.othing official of the eurrender
of the entire Philippine group.
At the same time the Secretary-
ciiil not discredit the accuracy of
the press advices, stating that
the capitulation had this far-
reaching ett'ect. Pending more
definite information the attitude
of officials is to assume that our
authoritv covers Manila citv,
Manila bay and harbor, and also
uch other territory as may be
Kcupied by the military and
lavoj force. The latter phrase
s elastic enough to cover any or
ail of the Philippine islands that
may have been brought under
our authority by the recent sur
render. The instructions sent to
ieneral Merritt have in view the
expansion of our posessions be
yond the terms mentioned in the
protocol as they distinctly state
that this Government is in po-
session ol Aianua ana mac its
authority to preserve peace and
order will be exerted ''within the
territory occupied by their mili-
tary and naval forces." The
Cabinet meeting to-morrow is
expected to deal with the many
detailed questions concerning
the Philippines, Cuba and Porto
Rico which have arisen since the
peace protocol was signed.
The State Department today
received another international
congratulation on the restora
tion of peace, this one being from
the British Ambassador Sir Ju
lian Pauncefote, who is now so
iourning at New London, Conn
The Ambassador communicated
the expression of profound grat
ification with which Her Majes
ty's Government learned of the
signature of the preliminaries of
peace between the United States
and Spain and the sincere con
gratulations to the President
and the Government of the Uni
ted States upon the termination
of the war.
Acting Secretary Allen had a
busy day making final arrange
ments for the naval review at
pw York on Saturday. He ex
tended to the French Ambassa
dor, M. Cambon,. the courtesy o
going on the flagship New York
ilnrine the review. The Ambas
sador had already arranged
however, to witness the review
from the tug of the French
Trans-Atlantic line.

Mr. Wagg, after the fashion of
the"Didd"in "Animal Land,"
which "roars and roars and eats
caramels," writes jokes and po
ems during business hours and
gives up his leisure moments on
Sunday to The Sun and philos
ophical experiments. If Mrs.

some alarmin suspicions about

"I know it," said Mrs. Wagg, I
and out she hurried for her maid.
"Mr. Wagg is unwell," she said
to the girl, "and I want you to
go to Dr. Jones and leave word
for him to call as soon as he
comes in."
The maid hurried out, and
Airs. Wagg, who beleives in self
control, sat down to quiet her
nerves for the doctor's verdict.
She suspected that Wagg's dis
order was purely mental. Then
her eyes happened to fall on the
paper that he had been reading
and this headline attracted her
attention: "How to become a
genius. Swami Abhedananda
gives some infallible rules. Any
body can do it by practicing a
rhvthmic flow of nervous cur-
rents. Bad men who do it be
come insane." She looked puz-
zied for a moment, and then as
s,e glanced nuicklv down the
column a smile appeared, it
broadened, and then with the full
appreciation of the situation she
leaned back in the chair and
laughed until she cried.
"Oh. James, James. she ex-
claim to herself. "Studying
how o become a genius! Why,

to bad men, and you are safe."

When Mrs. Wagg walked into

New Orleans, August
16 Henry
eili the cotton
statistician, made
public to-nighi the following letter, 1
to be issued to-morrow by Neil!
BrotLers in IjOodoD, giving his
views of the growing cotton crop:
"New Or leaks, August 3rd, The
following is en t x'rp-ct from a circu
lar letter which I published, dated
July 29tb, 1S94.
" 'If each State should realize a
product tqnal to its best previous
crop, the result, in the estimated
acreage, would give a crop cf about
9,600,000 bales, and the promises to
day (28th July, 2894) are equal or
superior to any previous in every
State.'
"The result that year was a crop
equal to the best previous crop in
every State, and in Texas a vastly
greater product per acre than any
previous year, and the crop turned
out 9,900,000 bales.
"Id a circular letter published on
August 13th. 1S97, 1 stated that the
promise for 1897 98 was equal to
any previous year in every State but
Ttxa?, and that, on the then eetima
ted acreage, even allowing that Tex
as should fall short of her previous
maximum product per acre by a mil
lion bale?, the outlook was (13. of
August, 1897) for a prop cf at least
9,750.000 blep, with 500,000 or 1,
000,000 bales more within the raDge
jcf possibilities. The result this year
j (1G97-98) ia dow known to be over
S.OCO.OOO bales outside of Texas etd
over 3,000,000 bales in Texas.
"As regards ti e present growing
crop, it ia apparent that the promise
tcdi y is equal or superior to that of
lriet year at this date in every State,
and vastly bttler in Texas, which
State has Lrd weather eruditions
eq-jil to those which produced the
enorrcons crop cf 400 pounds per
acre in 1S94 95, and this product ap
plied to the presect Ttxas acreage
(G,75i),G00 acie?) inciudirg the In
dian Territory, might result, with
equal cerdilicriS bereafer, in a crop
for i .xa: and the Ionian Territory
of ovf.r lour tr.iiIion bales, while for
the otter States a crop equal to the
pasl year would ha ever eight mil-
llioa bake. I Lave therefore, nohes
iiati.cn in eajiDg that the premise of
to-day, even with soLaewhat unfavor
able conditions hereafter, is for a
crop of over ten ard a half million
bals assured, with a million and a
half more within the raDge of possi
bilities. In addition to this vast
supply we shall carry over, on Sep
tembr 1st, 1S9S, visible and inriei
ble, fully one aud a half millions
mere than the supply, visib'e and in
visible, on Seplercber 1st, 1S97. I
The crop is advancing rapidly,
with inadequate beat and rain, and
promises to be earlier than any for
mer year, with the exception of
1896 97, so that the August move
ment will be large and that cf Sep
tember enormous."
In an interyiew today concerning
the weather conditions since the
abeve letter was written, Mr. Neiil
said that picking, as well as the
August movement to market, has
been retarded by rain, which, how
ever, is beneficial if not too long con
tinued, to the ultimate out-torn, ex
cepticg some portion of the alluvial
lands in the Mississippi valley,
where, however, the weather has
now cleared up.

As much as this scribe loves p.nd
honors the Democratic party, if its
leaders should seed out any such
orders we would immediatolv wabh
our hands of it. The Bible says
that "the truth shall make U3 free,"
and we believe that the misses of
the voters of all parties ere at this
time honestly seeking the truth as it
applies to government. Mr Leazsr
showed plairly why no party except
the Demccrotia party can give Nor'h
Carolina gocd gcvernmrf, any e-e
who has ever given the tubj-ct
serious thongt is bound to come to
this conclusion, not that there r.re
not good men in ail parties but te
very nature of the coral ination cf
the fusion party in North Carolina
makes it impossible for the b,t
element in either party to rule.
The honest voters of both the Re
publican acd Populist parties see
this and hence are at heart agaioet
Fusion and most of them have so ex
pressed themselves, but notwith
standing this the leaders of the two
parties who are after the spoils and
care nothing about hone?t govern
ment. Ask them to vote against
their consciences and better jade-
i. tt:it i u a. Vz .
believe they all wilL The same clij
lie that has been used for the last I
years will be Uced in this campaign
to fool the voters, viz, that uader
Democratic rule we did not have
fair elections. Oa they say, the
elections are conducted fairly in the
western counties but great frauds
were practiced in the Eastern coun
ties, and we suppose that the E&s
tern counties claimed thtt tte frauds
were in the western counties.
When the Legislature of "Oi met
charges of fraud were prefoT:--3
against the Democratic pou hotuers
at 3 or 1 different p'.Eces in the
State. The Legislature arpoioted a
committee to investigate these frau 1,

Juifira Ewart were members cf t-at
committee acd we have it from Mr.
Bernhardt that they visiced il tha
places cf alleged fraud and examiLed
witnesses of ill parlies and found
that the election had been conduct
ed absolutely fair, and so reported
to the Legislature, and thus the eld
lie was nailed so far as the Legiela
tuxe was concerned. Another sham
argument used by the fusion leaders
to fool the benest voters ia that it is
necessary for the Republicans and
Populists to unite in order to pre
serve 'local self government. We
feel like exclaimirg as did a noted
lady of old "Oh liberty how msay

'j?Dc-ss there is too much

able for acy Democrat to seek ofSce
provided he ges at it in the right
style, and is willing to submit to the
w; ci tee msjority but all this talk
aloul not voting for this or that
candidate if he is nominated is un
ieiceratic and is calculated to do
sritat
harm to the party. Its not
right to refuse to vote for a man
just simply because he happened to
commit some little error in the past
es one of us are inTalible, we all have
our sLori comings. Of course we
jali have our preferences. The writer
has his and we ?te plainly that some
of our preferences are cot going to
be nominated, but we are willing to
say Amen to what ever the majority
will, provided they are men of moral
cfcRracter, and we are not afraid of
the party nominating any other than
good men. Any man who puts him
pcli up for cSce and is defeated in
the primaries because the people do
not think he is the proper man for
the office and then gets mad and
leaves the party is not worthy the
! name cf Democrat and the eooner
the party gets rid of him the better,
and any voter who just because his
particular friend is not nominated
gets mad and refuses to vote is no
true Democrat Brother Democrats
this is no time for contentions in our
ranks. The enemy is already lining
up in true Spaniard style, and its
going to take a united front to defeat
him. What we need and what we
must have in our ranks is harmony
