Black of Valley City, N. D., a veteran of the civil war, and who had just returned from Porto R Mrs. Partridge said that his presence gave her great pleas- as it completed the list of jurisdictions represented, a condition, s id, never be- fore known in the h of the order.

He said the event was an unexpected pleasure to him. Another interesting event transpire] when Mrs. Augusta D. Wilson of Oak Leaf ( ter, Oakland, Cal., the local chapter of the most worthy grand matron, Mrs.. P artridge, ented her with a writing cas set in hg silver. Mrs. Partridge made a feel- reply, stating that this was only an- other of the many tokens of esteem she had received from her home chapter. Wm. Blessom of Boston, chairman committee on finan then made his long-expected report, which was adopt- ed without discussion and the committee continued. Mr. Rowe, chairman of the committee on jurisprudence, made a lengthy report, pend- ing the discussion of which Mr. Gearhart made a motion that when this convention close it do so to meet next morning at 8 o'clock, h motion prevailed, but prior to the dispersion the most worthy grand matron said that she had seen the grand chapters disunited, each doing what seem- ed right in its own eyes, but now they were become one. She had hoped to be able to confer the degrees of the order on Presi- dent McKinley on this occasion. The war troubles prevented that, but she hoped omy temporarily. - After remarks by representatives of the veral states and some further discus- sion under the head of isprudence, the committ closed The names of Mr. and Mrs. M.

Was Present When Old Glory Was Hoisted on Governor's Palace— Troops Well Cared For. Private Robert E. Smith of Company G, 2d Oregon Volunteers, now on duty in the Philippines, recently wrote his father a de- scription of some of the scenes attending the capture of Manila, in part as follow: MANILA, August 19, 1808. I write this letter on Spanish stationery. n- We have captured lots of it and the Spa ish government, having gone out of bus ness here, have no further use for it. The health of the soldiers here is generally good, although we have warm and wet weather. We all get along nicely together, have a brotherly regard for one another, are in good quarters, in good spirits and well cared for. Looking out on the harbor we can see our good Admiral Dewey's fleet taking things easy, but ever on the alert for any one that is looking for trouble. You are no doubt anxious to learn something about the capture of Manila ated in it. Oregon) nd the t 6 o'c mer Hong Kong, moved under cover of Admiral Dew: fleet. We remained in position until o'clock a.m., when we were closed in by the fleet, as cur steamer was a frail vessel and might casily be blown to pieces. The from one who partici) 2d Our regi- received marching morning of the ek, went aboard and ment (the Raleigh opened fire on the Spanish trenches at Malate, and the Olympia also let loo! with her big guns. We could see the Span- iards running in every direction, some even toward the bay; but the captured little cruiser Calion was policing along the shore and opened fire in turn with the Boston, Raleigh, Olympia and Charleston. “At times when the smoke cleared away could see the fort batteries making a reply. About fifty minutes of rapid firing silenced the fort, and ten minutes after the firing ce were fore- ing the S a running fight, for in less than ten minutes Uncle Sam's forces were a half mile nearer The city is a large one, and the f the cathedral and the government buildings were fine targets for our fleet. The firing had c d for a while and all our vessels were in good firing distanc The guns seemed to be wistfully looking at the splendid targets in the doomed city be- fore them, when all at once the very air seemed to speak, and a white flag shot up in sight from the top of the tallest ¢: thedral, calling for a peace consultation. It was a disappointment to all of us, but at the same time a great relief, as the sus- pense was simply awful. Given Orders to Land. “In about two hours we were givenorders to land. We took a path along the fort w: and as we entered the city each and man looked for trouble. We climbed nd Spanish the and then two or thre: ld bob up from behind command giv the officers ng moment We might get teo anxious and commence firing. We ame to a small where there a anish gunboat lyi a wharf, when all ng sudden a streak of i ot out from sides, and in a moment it dawned on that she had been set on fir “It was time for things of more portance than trying to save a gunboat, We made double time until out of danger of her guns and explosives, ve did not know what deviltry might be intended. We were unfamiliar with our surroundings, in a strange city full of enemies, armed and unarmed, and every man had to be on the alert. “We found many fortified places and finally reached the governor's palace. I cannot di ribe to you cur feelings w untry’s gloricus flag went up on the and the Spanish colors came down— !1 hope to stay down forever. It was a grand, supreme moment to us, and an awful silence reigned throughout our ranks. It was to me the proudest moment of my life, and I was glad I was an Amer- ican and that it was my privilege to be cne of the few American soldiers present. There were only the Ist and 2d Battalions of our regiment, one company of the 3d Battalion, the executive officer of Admiral Dewey's fleet and a few other officers p When old glery was raised over the fort on Guam Island we were wild with enthusiasm, but at the raising of the same grand emblem of our country at Manila the scene was entirely different. “In a short time the surrender was com- plete, and the first to march out and lay down their arms to us were seven com- panies of infantry, then some light bac- teries followed by keavy artillery. It was @ grand moment to our little command, and our major was as proud as a king on his throne. Spaniards Swarmed In. “We were up all right, and the next day the Spanish soldiers came swarming :n, some of them literally covered with mud. While everything Icoked bright and cheer- ful to us there were some very pathetic scenes, to me indescribable. Spanish sol- Giers would cry and sob like children, and scme would go by supported by their ‘com- rades, their grief seemingly unbearable. “We were on guerd at the palace for a time, but are now in comfortable quarters, and all our troops are occupying the Span? ish barracks, while the prisoners are in the churches and other places. Had we occupied Manila, with its stroug fortifica- tions and natural defenses, no two govern- ments in the world could have iaken %t from us. The Spaniards say we are queer people, for instead of falling back w! fired on we press forward. “We have not done much fighting here, but we have the grand, never-to-be-surren_ dered city of Manila, and that is some compensation for the trouble we have had. The Spanish soldier here is paid 12 cents a day and a ration of rice and a very dirty looking fish, and, I am told, no bread. A native will carry a big trunk on his head two miles for ten cents. “There is talk of transferring us tithe regulars. While the regular service {s more strict as to disgipline than the volunteer, yet the men get what the allowance calls for. We have just received rumors that peace has been declared, and if that is so all the boys will want to go honte, as we came here to fight for the government, not to do garrison duty. — BROTHERHOOD AT BALTIMORE. Reference to Anglo-American Friend- ship Evoked Applause. BALTIMORE, Md., September 30.—The third day's session of the convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew opened at 6:30 this morning with the corporate celebration of the holy communion. Bishop Paret of Maryland was the celebrant, assisted by the Rev. J. 8. B. Hodge and the Rev. Chas. A. Jessup of St. Paul’s, Baltimore; the Rev. William A.

The State Department gives confirmation to the report that it has given its assent, through the American consul at Apia, Sa- moa. to the return to Samoa, after an ex- ile of ten years, of the former King Ma- taafa. It is tssumed that this chief to be made king, to succeed the late King Malictoa, who died about a month ago. Under the treaty of Berlin, between the United States, Germany and Great Britain, in the first article it is said: “The three powers recognize the independence of the Samoan government, and the free right of the natives to elect their chief or king, and choose their form of government accord- ing to thelr own laws and customs.” The native laws referred to, it is under- stood, require that the kingdom shall de- scend in the line of blood, and as Mataafe is the only living eligible male relative of the late King, Fis prospects of election Would seem to be assured. Mataafa has had an eventful career, and played a most important part in the troub jous times preceding the making of thi treaty of Berlin, which by common con- sent averted a Fostile clash between Ger- many and the United States. At the time of the great Samoan hurricane Mataafa had just led a successful revolt against Tamasese, whom the Germans sought to maintain as king. He and his natives dis- tinguished themselves by their bravery in rescuing the sailors of the wrecked Amer- ican fleet, in return for which, by author- ity of Secretary Tracy, and upon the rec- ommendation of Admiral Kimberly, our government showed its gratitude by be- stowing upon the king a whaleboat. with complete fittings. Not many months af- terward, however, by the action of the Joint powers, the unfortunate chief was de- posed from his throne and carried away into exile by the Germans, and maintained on a small island at the common expense of the United States, Great Britatn and Germany, his kinsman, Malietoa, being placed on the throne in his stead. With Mataafa in his exile were cleven native chiefs, who had adhered to his cause and refused to be separated from him in exile. The seven who survived will return with their chief to Samoa. 0+ _____ Nancy Guilford Still at Large.
