SURRENDERED? Bumor That He Has Turned Manila Over to Germany. Insurgents Had Invested the City Closely—The Spanish Commander's Family Captured. LONDON, June 18.—The Star today pub- lishes an absurd story from Paris to the ef- fect that Captain General Augusti has in- formed the Spanish premier, Senor Sagasta, that he has handed Manila over to Admiral Diedrichs, the commandsr of the German flest, who has occupied the citadel and ar- genal on the plea of protecting the inhab- itants from the insurgents. = Augusti‘s Family Captured. The Hong Kong correspondent of the Times says: “According to Manila advices, dated June 13, and brought here by H. M. 8. Linnet, the rebels have captured the family of Captain General Augusti. “In most cases the desertions of the na- tive regiments have been accompanied by @ massacre of the officers. It is reported Insurgent Chief Aguinaldo. from Shanghai that the Spanish archbishop from Manila has arrived there by the Ger- man troop ship Darmstadt.” The Madrid correspondent of the Dally Mail says: “An official dispatch from Manila asserts that the insurgents have closed around the town and are now attacking the walled part, where the defenders are still holding out.’ The insurgents have cut the water supply, but the city has remaining wells available. Fighting Along Sen Front. “Fighting ts going on all along the sea front, but the Americans are taking no part in the attack.”” The Hong Kong correspondent Daily Mail says: “The archbishop of Manila, Mgr. Noza- leda, announces that he has had a com- munication from God, who has promised him that the ‘Yankee pigs will be driven out of the island and that ‘Spain will be triumphant in the end.’ “There is an idea in Manila that the Germans have something up their sleeve. On this point my correspondent writes me as follows: “The Germans are disposed to be med- dlesome here. Germans and Spaniards are very chummy, entertaining one another at dinner parties and walking arm-in-arm everywhere. There is no question about how the British feel. They are watching the Germans closely. Germans Are Friendly. of the There is a story current to the effect that the captain and officers of the German warship Irene went to a picnic on horse- back to the furthest outpost of San Juan, accompanied by the highest Spanish staff officers. They had a champagne lunch and the captain of the Irene is said to have made a speech, during which he declared the Americans “will never annex the Phil- {ppine Islands while William remains em- peror.”” The Germans, it is further said, with their Spanish hosts, might have been killed Governor General Augusti. by the insurgents, who had the road to San Juan strongly ambushed. But, it is further asserted, the insurgents had orders to avoid giving a pretext for German inter- vention. Finally, it 1s said, the Germans pro- posed to remove the wounded Spanish soldiers to a hospital ship under the Ger- man flag, but Admiral Dewey is reported to have replied that hitherto mediation had always been British and it must so remain. —__~e- — SUE FOR A DEED. Vestry of Washington Parish Seek to Perfect Title. The vestry of Washington parish filed a suit in equity today against Alice C. Pal- mer, Ida C. Hackett, Minnie DeKay, Fre Barnard, Alfred Craven, Jennie Craven, Emily C. Merriman, McDonough Craven, Eva Gregory, Robert Craven, Lucy Hunter and Dulaney Hunter. All but the first two named are non-residents. They are sued as remote heirs of Thomas Tingey. The bill recites that Wm. Prout, June 6, 1807, conveyed lots 6 and 7, in square 877, in this city, to Tingey and Peter Miller, in trust for the payment and reimbursement of any sum of money toward building a Protestant Episcopal Cfurch on the lots, and to hold the same in trust for the sub- scribers of the building fund, and lastly, when there should be a legal corporate body to manage the church to convey the lots to it. The reasons for this course were that there were some doubts to whether the persons then acting as the vestry of Washington parish were legally elected. The loans and advances have long since been made, and ever since there has been and is now an annual election of a vestry. Miller died in September, 18}4, and Tingey lived till 1829, but made no conveyance of the lots to the vestry. There has been erected on the lots a church, now ninety years old, a rectory, seventy years old, and @ parish hall, twenty years old. breught.. = ——_—— Iliness of Chief Justice Alvey. “The Court of Appeals held but one ses- this week, owing to the fllness of .

Wesley Merritt, who will ‘be in command of the far-away eastern army of the United States. Both batteries are light artillery from the 6th United States Regiment. Battery D, Capt Dyer, goes from Washington barracks, while Bat- tery G, Capt. Bridgman, léaves Fort Myer, Va., where it has been stationed since the departure of the 6th Cavalry for the south. All Gay yesterday and this morning a squad of soldiers from the two batteries was busy in directing the loading of guns and equipments on the flat cars of the Pennsylvania ra‘iroad at 10th street and Maryland avenue. There will ve loaded, in all, twelve six-pounder field guns and a requisite number of caissons iilled with war equipments for light artillery work. This heavy freight will probably start for San Francisco this afternoon in charge cf a detachment of regulars. The freight will be run through on passeMger sc-dule, and will reach the Golden Gate probably before the special trains bearing the sol- diers arrive. Maj. Grugan of the 6th Ar- tillery will be in charge of the party, iiav- ing been assigned to duty with Gen. Mer- ritt. Active preparations were in progress at Fort Myer and Washington barracks this morning, but the batteries have been ready to move on short notice for some time past, and very little additional work was required. ’ The Signal Corps. The Washington barracks have been made headquarters of the Signal. Corps under Col. Dunwoody. A company of forty men, recruited for the corps in Augusta, Me., arrived in the city yesterday after- noon over the Baltimore and Ohio railroud, under command of Capt. G. W. Butler and First Lieut. C. A. Walker. The men were ordered to Washington under instructions to be quartered at Washington barracks. Through some misunderstanding tne “men were marched to th2 marine barracks, on Sth street southeast. Upon arriving there the mistake was discovered and the men were lined up on the sidewalk to await further instructions. On2 of the men fainted from fatigue. He was cared for by the navy yard surgeons and sent to Washington barracks in the navy yard ambulance. Capt. Butler march- ed his men to Washington barracks, at the fcot of 4% street southwest, where they are comfortably quartered. Pennsylvania Recruits. Sixty-six infantry recruits, very few of them in uniform, and none with equipment, Passed through Washington last night at 10.30 o'clock from Allentown, Pa., bound for Lytle, Ga., to join Companies B and D of the 4th Pennsylvania Regiment. Orders were received under th second call for vol- unteers to recruit these companies up to their full quota, and Sergt. Edward R. Keck was detaied to enlist the men. H2 was successful in'a very short time, and was in charge OF the party, going south last night. The men hav en allowed $1 apiece for meals whil2 en rpute to their regiment, not including c@¥fce,fvhich is served three times a day by the sergeant. As the men will be on the road about two days and a half their menu is pecessarily not very 2laborate. a a STREETS ON E SCHEDULE Apportionment of the Funds Voted by Oon- gress for Improvements.

Fannie Smith, allas Edna Westland, aged thirty-five yearg, ang an inmate of a house on.C street orthwest, was taken to the Emergency, Hospital at an early hour this mcrning in a tical condition from the effects of gri carbolic acid. For scme hours it was thought there would be @ fata! result, but this afternoon she was believed to be much better, and it is prob- able she will be sent home during the eyening. ‘The woman said she and several others had been drinking heavily all day yester- day and at night, and that some time after it, very thirsty, she picked vp a two-ounce bottle of carbolic acid by mistake and drank considerable of its con- ee an attempt to take the AT THE WHITE HOUSE No Official News of the Santiago Expedition Received. ~ It May Be Tomorrow Afternoon or Monday Before Its Arrival is ~~ Definitely Learned. No official news of the Santiago expedi- tion had been received at the White House up to a late hour this afternoon. Assistant Secretary Allen of the navy was at the Executive Mansion for a short while. He said that nothing had been received from the fleet, and that it was probable nothing weuld be received until late in the after- noon or tomorrow. It is said that it may be as late as tomorrow afternoon or Mon- day before official news of the arrival of the fleet comes. The fleet is known to be traveling slowly, making about ten knots an hour, and has probably encountered tropical squalls and storms, which are of daily occurrence. Admiral Sampson has not yet succeeded in establishing cable connection on board one of his ships, and all messages will have to be sent by dispatch boat to the nearest cable stations. This will take some time after the arrival of the Reet. Program for Porté Rico. That the program for the invasion’ of Porto Rico is fast maturing is well known to congressmen who work diligently at the White House and the War Department to secure places and to carry out the wishes of troops from their resp2ctive states. It is krown that orders are about to be issued for certain troops to proceed to General Lee at Jacksonville. Several southern regi- ments, among th>m the regiment from South -Carolina, have asked to be placed under General Lee, and will be ordered from Chickamauga. A District Appointment. It is said at the White House today that another District man is to be honored by an army position. Th2 President, it is said, will nominate Tenney Ross as second lieu- tenant, and the nomination will soon be made. It will be among a big batch of sim- ilar nominations to be sent to the Senate. Mr. Ross is a son of Commissioner Ross, and is highly recommended for a lizuten- ancy. An Hour Longer. Orders have been issued that the White House shall be kept open to visitors each afternoon te 3 o'clock instead of 2 o'clock, as fcr years past and as in the depart- ments. The change was made owing to the large number of strangers in the city amd for the benefit of the soldier boys at Camp Alger. The soldiers from Camp Alger who get to the city after 2 o'clock in the after- noon are disappointed when they find the White House closed. On several occasions the ruies have been broken to please the1a. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays the White House is open until the close of the President's public receptions. These pub- lic reception’ are largely attended by sol- diers, who esteem a handshake with their comme nder-in-chief. °. ARMY ORDERS. Captain J. R.
