The situation in the city is critical. The whole population clamor for surrender to save human life and property, ffhe civil gov ernor of the province, mayor of the city and chief Judge of the province all have fled to Caney Contrary to the orders of General Linares. They said the report that Pando had en tered the city with reinforcements ' was nntrue. He is still at Manail lo. Many Spanish regulars and volunteers are deserting to the Am ericans. The fact of the request for postponement of time of truce indicates hesitation on the part of the home government. It is believed that the city will surrender. HAWAIIAN COMMISSION.

Coglan For two months Raleigh's energetic mayor has been endeavoring to obtain the flag of Admiral Montijo, captured by Captain Coglan of the cruiser Ral eigh in the battle of Manila. One of the flags, it is now learned, will be expressed to Raleigh as soon ag it has been exhibited In New York. In this city it will be an ornament in the mayor's office and at all hours visi tors can Inspect the Spanish Admiral's colors. A representative of the Portsmouth Star had the pleasure last night of meeting Mr. George H. White at his residence in Washington street. Mr. White was clerk to Paymaster W. M. alt, on the Raleigh, and. In company with his chief, ha just returned from Manila, where he took part In the history-making of the eventful 1st of May. He spske interestingly of his experienee in the East. When asked for' an account of tiled battle of Manila, Mr. White smiltn&iy said that the story had been told with a great datol more accuracy than he could give if, and everybody had read It. He could add nothing new. FVora the forecastle deck of the ftnl eigh he had seen all there was of the fighting, but a man loses track of In cidents In the whirl of battle, and only tire, main features of the engagement impress themselves upon hrm. Particularly is this true of a man who.; at the time never suspected tnat ne would b.e called apon to relate his ex perienoes and Impressions for the de lectation of an interested public, and Mr. White therefore had not fortified himself with notes and snapshot phu-i tographs, or other aids to graphic de scription. He was otherwise, and prob ably much better employed. The day Before the fleet reached Ma nila Mr. White applied for a station ion deck. Strictly speaking, his place I should hate been In the paymaster's I cabin below, but, as he himself tayR I he was burning to be with the men on deck and would gladly have done any kind .of service rather than stay inac tive below while his ship was in her first action. Consequently he was rlr- ien a station on the forecastle, a.nd his duties were to report the manoeuvres of the enemy, signals, and be . useful generally whenever occasion demaatled. Mr. White's state of mind after pass ing the forts at Corregidor and while passing up the channel, wnicn all De- lieved to be mined, was distinctly un comfortable, but as the day dawned. disclosing to view the Spanish fleet off Cavite. he says that a feeling cf sad ness was uppermost with him, a feeling quite unnaturally caused by thoughts of loved ones at home and the reflection that ere the rising' sUn had set his crtrpse might he blistering on the deso late beaches of Manila harbor. This was. all forgotten, though, when the guns began to hurl their irnn hail, and the narrator had no other thought, wish or psjpose than that of helping to send the Spanish ships to the bot tom. Paymaster Gait being detached shortly afteV the battle, Mr. White ac companied film back to the United States. Capt. Gridley, of the Olympla, was also of their party, which left Ma nila May 25 V" Hong Kong on the sup- pulv ship ZaBro. The O. and O. steam er Coptic toftk them thence to Kobe, Japan, where Capt.

Raleigh y il! have another telephone system If the plans now on foot mate rialize. The new system will not be owned by a foreign corporation and all the profits will go to the subscrib- s. The charges for phones In business houses will be $25 a year and in resi dences $15. The stockholders -will sub scribe $50 and take at least one 'phone at the above rates. The managers of the enterprise intr.id to secure 400 subscribers within r. year, but work will be begun when 250 have been se cured. This will give a capital stock of $12,500 and the receipts from the 'phones at $25 and $15 will more than pay the expenses of the system. Howe'ver, the details of the plans, to gether with the names of those in terested, will be given later. As soon as some 200 have , subscribed a char ten wih be secured and work begun. A list of the present subscribers was shown a reporter this morning and the list included the names of many of the most prominent and best business men of Raleigh. The company will be entirely local ahd the profits will not leave Raleigh. The system will be the most modern thus insuring cheaper and better ser vice. A rough draft of the proposed char ter has already been made. ODD FELLOWS' COLUMN. What the Order is Doing this Sultry Weather. A charter has been issued for a new lodge in Gaston county to be instituted on the 9th. The report from Bakersville. No. 15S. shows that lodge to be in a prosperous condition. The petition for a new lodge at Gra ham has been accepted and the work of institution will be done by Phoenix No. 119. '. : Rockingham Lodge, No. 178, still shows gains in membership notwith standing It is the largest in the State, according to. iae' "Of town. ' The District Deputy says that At lantic Lodge, No. 43, at Southport, has a good paying membership, but a bad one for attending the meetings. Not alone, brother. We believe it would be showing the fraternal spirit of the order if every lodge having members in the army would put such members a year in ad vance on the books and send each one a visiting card. Seaton Gales Lodge has sent notices to the other lodges, Including Ruth Rebekah Lodge, to be present on Fri day evening next, July 15th, to hear the experience of Willie Woodward at the Orphan Home. Let every one come and bring a friend. Odd Fellowship needs no compara tive statements, beneficial or other wise, to commend it to thinking men. It has always been in the lead and continues to be, so far as its main ob jects and principles are concerned, as well as in membership. Our lessons, correctly taught, will always inspire new life in the student: they lift up his mind from sordid sel fishness and open up to his views greater beauties in humanity than he ever thought were there. If teaching is worth anything we have it of the sublimest character: The weather is hot; members are tired-; those who have families cannot leave home at night; the single ones have an engagement with his best girl; any old thing as an excuse. How many falsehoods are told by members when asked why they are never present when the lodge is at work? And still they say "truth is an imperial virtue." It was a hard hit that a certain man, now a nast Grand Sire, gave us once. He said. "I can always arrange to attend my lodge if I want to." It hurt be cause in the main it was true of every one. How many members of the order have we spoken to as brethren and offered a word of encouragement? How many members have cause to know that we are members of the order? If no one can be told from every one else what beeomfes of the fraternal tie that ought and does bind men together when rightly appropriated? There are too many of our members who seem too modest or too fearful of imposi tion to even let the other member? know that they are Odd Fellows. What benefit are they to. the order or the i.-riler to them? An Odd Fellow in North Carolina told as some time ago-of an incident that occurred in one of the fierce cav alry fights that took place between the Northern and Southern armies during the late war. The Confederate forcas nnder Stuart were charging the Fed eral forces through the streets of a Virginia town, and had them on the run. As the Federals were doing their best to get away the mounted men gal loped after them; firing upon them as fast as they could. This brother .says that . his ; company was charging through one of the streets, right on the heels of the retreating jreaerais ana Just in front of where he was, in the rear of the Federal troops, ne saw a Federal soldier, who had been hit by a ball, fall from his horse. The captain ef the company In which our Informant was, happened to be in front and also saw the Federal soldier fall. He waved the troops aside - and covering the wounded Federal by stopping his horse, the troops passed on in pursuit, but the captain stayed by the wounded man and had him sent to the bouse of a friend and cared for. i . That night when they camped the secret of why the captain stopped leaked out They were both Odd Fellows. , v , MUST STAMP ORDEKP. Collector Duncan This Afternoon Re ceived a Batch of Decisions from WBsliinRton-Systcm of Books I'-ed in Pavings Banks. Revenue Collector Duncan this morh- ng received three decisions of unusual nterest. Savings banks will have to stamp checks when such are used, but books may be used that will prevent the necessity of checks. Every man, woman or child giving an order for another person will be required to attach a stamp thereto. Traveling salesmen will be interested in the decisions printed herewith and which fully explain themselves. The letters received are as follows: E. C. Duncan, Esj., Collector Fourth District. RaleiRh. N. C. Sir: Your letter of the 28th ultimo has been received, enquiring: "Does i salesman or traveling salesman nine under "the head of 'Commercial Broker?' " You are hereby advised in the nega tive. Every person, firm or company, en gaged In the general business of ne gotiating sales or purchases of goods, etc., on commission, is a commerical broker within the meaning of para graph 4, f-ectlon 2 of the Act of June 13. 1SHS. and is required to pay the pecial .ax of twenty dollars therein imposed. Hut a per.son who Is simply employ ed by one or more firms to act as their asent, in traveling and soliciting orders for them for the purchase of goods, and transmitting such orders to thern to be filled, is held not to Be acoromer- iul broker within the meaning of this act, even thnuph he is paid a commis sion instead of a salary. Herewith is returned the letter of enquiry on this subject addressed to you by Mr. !. W. -Smith, of Lemon Springs. North Carolina, which you transmitted to this office with your letter. Respectfully yours. J. B. SCOTT, Commissioner. E. C. Duncan. Esq.. Collector Fourth District. Raleigh, N. C. Sir: In reply to the enquiry ad dressed to you by Messrs. Spiers & Davis, which you referred to this office on the 23d ultimo, will you please in form them that the two-cent stamp is required to be affixed to a check, draft, or money order drawn by ary, person upon any other person. This stamp tax is not confined, by the language of Schedule A of the Act of June 13. 1898, to checks or orders for money drawn on banks. Respectfully yours, J. B. fiCOTT. Commissioner. E. C. Duncan, Esq., Collector 4th Dis trict, Raleigh, N. C: Sir Your letter of the 30th ultimo has been received, enclosing a letter addressed to you on the same date by the Cashier of the Raleigh Savings Bank, stating that it is the custom of some savings banks to use a book headed: "We, the undersigned, ac knowledge to have received from the savings bank the sum of money offix- ed to our names respectively, and asking if stamp tax Is required to be paid for such mode of withdrawing money from bank. You are advised that tax is not re-- quired to be paid in this case. Respectfully yours, .T. B. SCOTT. Commissioner. THE TELEGRAPH QUESTION. Col. F. A. Olds at 1:40 today attempt d to get the Western Union Telegraph Company to stamp and send a message stating that if they refused he would carry the matter into the courts. Man ager Edgerton wired to headquarters relative to the matter and they wired back to act on instructions already sent. This he did and Col. Olds has given notice that on Tuesday next he will file complaint for refusal to ac cept a message. The following from the Statesvule Landmark shows that the lines have been broken: 'The war revenue bill Imposes a tax of one cent on all telegraph messages and there has been much kicking since the law went into effect because the Western Union requires the sender of the of the message to pay the tax. Yes terday Mr. L. C. Caldwell, chairman of the railroad commission, took the bull by the horns by filing a message at the Statesvllle office and declining to pay the tax, at the same time notifying Mr. C. J. Jones, the operator, that he would hold the company responsible if the message was not sent. Acting under instructions from headquarters, Mr. Jones paid the tax and sent the mes sage. Mr. Caldwell bavelng started the ball there will be others and the telegraph company will find Itself com pelled to pay the tax which it is try ing to foist on others unless It goes into the courts and they decide in its favor. It is the opinion of most people that the intent of the law Is for these com panles to pay the tax, but both the telegraph and the express companies have been collecting it out of their pat rons.

When the Odd Fellows of this State decided to establish an orphans' home for the care and education of the or phans of deceased members, it was thought by many to be a grave mis take.
