Taft’s Welcome to Manila.

Manila, Aug. 7. —Manila’s welcome to Secretary Taft and party exceeded all similar demonstrations in the past by either American or Spanish officials. Governor General Wright’s address of welcome at the government house expressed the feelings of Americans and natives on the return of the former governor general, and the arrival of Miss Afice Roosevelt. Secretary Taft, moved with emotion while replying for himself and party, almost broke down. The scene was impressive.
