PEOPLE FEAR A BOMBARDMENT American Fleet Unable to Obtain Fresh Provisions. NEWS FROM THE ORIENT Se PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., June 20.—Ac- cording to advices brought from Japan by the steamship Columbia, which has arrived here, considerable indignation _ prevails among Amcrican sailors and officers at Manila over th2 treatment of the captain of the Spanish gunboat Callao, which sail- ed into Manila bay about a week after the battle and was captured by Dewey's flect. The Spaniards claimed he showed cow- ardice in not returning the fir2 of the Americans. After giving him a Spanish court-martial he was sentenced to be shot, but Commodore Dewey came to his rescue and took him under the protection of the Am:rican government. Hundreds of people in Manila are using every effort to leave and are offering $500 and $800 for transportation out. As the time draws near for the arrival of the American soldiers, they are b2coming more restless. Another source of anxiety is in the cas of the bombardment of Manila what the Spaniards will do with their women and children, as they cannot be sent to the interior, as they would become the prey of the rebels. It is stated an appeal will be made to the British consul to make arrange- ments for their removal in case of bom- bardment. No Fresh Provisions. Since leaving Mirs Bay on April 27 the American fie2t has been unable to cbtain fresh provisions and the men have been Mving on salt fare. Notwithstanding this, there is no sickness among the crews and all are patiently waiting for orders to take possession of Manila. The Spanish soldizrs are anxious to meet the American troops in battle. They are well armed with Mauser rifles, and Capt. Gen. Augusti says every one will fight with desperation to maintain th> honor of Spain. A Japanese newspaper contains an ac- count of the adventures with rebels and Spaniards of Mr. Vincent, an American, superintending a petroleum well on the Island of Cebu. Mr. Vincent was taken captive by the rebels and taken to their headquarters on the outskirts of Cebu, where he was condemned to death. While awaiting execution a Spanish war vessel steamed into the harbor and commenced to bombard the place. The insurgents speedily decamped, leaving their prisoner in the room. Shell after shell came crash- ing through the walls, carrying away most of the building. Vincent's Life Spared. When the bombardment ceased a large number of rebels returned, having the blood-stained upper half of a priest’s head in a basket. The head was placed on a table and Vincent was given to under- stand that he would fare a similar fate. He was surrounded by rebels with drawn knives. Before the command of execution was given he succeeded in making them understand that he was an American and not a Spaniard. The chief ordered his life spared. In the meantime the Spanish soldiers at- tacked the place in the rear, and the rebels attempted to escape. The Spanish force rounded together some 200 natives, many of whom were young boys, and were in- dulging in an indiscriminate slaughter. 1g- norant at the time of what was transpiring within a few score of yards from him, Mr. Vincent could hear the cries and prayers of the heipless natives amid the roar of musketry. After a while the fire slack- ened and all was quiet, except a few occa- sional shots which sounded the death- knell of those among the natives who had escaped the volleys poured into their midst. About 8 o'clock the next morning Mr. Vincent crept out of the ruined build- ing and succeeded in getting aboard of the British steamship Gulf of Martaban, which had a number of Philippine refugees bound for Singapore. Captured by Aguinaldo. VICTORIA, B. C., June 29.—Steamer Em- press of China has arrived from the orient, bringing mail advices from Manila up to June 16. At that date the rebel leader Aguinaldo had captured the province of Cavite except four towns. He had taken 400 prisoners, including the governor of Ba- tangas, who attempted suicide when cap- tured. Admiral Dewey has given the rebels 5,000 magazine rifles and 200,000 rounds of am- munition, and 4,500 rifles were landed from @ fillbustering expedition from Amoy about the end of May. Ample provision is being made for the removal of the foreigners in case of bombardment. Eight steamers, with the consent of the Spanish consul gen- eral and sanction of Admiral Dewey, have been removed from the Pasig river. H. M. 8. Pique arrived at Hong Kong on the 30th ultimo from Hoilo and Manila. When the Pique left Iloilo all was quiet. Business was proceeeding as usual, and there was no panic whatever among either the Spaniards or the foreign residents. The only complaint made was that it was difficult to ship goods from the place owing to the lack of steamers. The Spanish gun- boat El Cano had left Hoilo and taken refuge in-the Samoangan river. The capture of the American ship Sara- nac appears.to have been a farce, as the officers of the Pique state that she had been transferred to the British flag some days previous to her capture by the El Cano, and the Spaniards have accordingly handed her over to her owners again. There are only 100 Spanish troops at Iloilo and the place is practically undefended. News From the Orient, Chinese advices say, owin@ to the scarci- ty of rice, a famine riot occurred at Wen- chow on May 19. The principal yamens in the town were wrecked, and also the official residence of the taotoi. Pillage was not the object o the wrecking, for, after wreck- ing everything breakable in the magis- trate’s yamen the rioters went into the residence portion and wrecked the furni- ture. The mandarins are powerless, the military force being insufficient. Great Britain has leased from China the strip of coast from Deep bay to Mirs bay and the range of hills at the back of the Kowloon péninsula. By the acquisition of this little strip of territory the rati- fication of the frontier forces of Kowloon, with a view to complete defense of Hong Kong, has been attained.

TACOMA, Wash., June 29.—A letter from Nagasaki, Japan, dated June 2, says mem- bers of the crew of the warship Olympia write from Manila that the men are anx- fous to leave. Good food cannot be ob- tained, and men are living on hard tack and canned meats. Dewey’s men trted to destroy a bridge but had to retreat, as the Spaniards outnumbered them. They Say the troops from San Francisco will get a warm reception, as Spain has a large number of soldiers in Manila. The same letter says that news has reached Japan to the effect that the schooner No- mad, which sailed from Shanghai, Novem- ber 19, has been lost. Se FAIR.

THE ACTIVITY AT CAMP THOMAS Regiments Under Orders Will Move Within Two Weeks. THE Y. M. C. A. CONVERTS CHICKAMAUGA-CHATTANOOGA NA- TIONAL MILITARY PARK, Tenn., June 20.—The order issued yesterday afternoon conveying the information that the entire 1st Army Corps would be sent to Cuba has doubled the activity at Camp Thomas. The work of completely equipping and arming the twenty-seven regiments is an immense task for the short time in which it must be accomplished, but it is already in progress and the officials say it will be finished much sooner than is generally be- Heved possible. Everybody in the twenty- seven regiments from colonels to privates are hustling today and considerable rivalry to be the first to get in shape is in evi- dence. It is expected that all under orders will be moving inside of two weeks. The Western and ‘Atlantic and Southern railroad officlals have received no order .from the War Department to supply cars for the moving of troops from Chickamauga Park to Tampa or some other southern sea- port. The only thing of this sort is a notice from the War Department to the local Western and Atlantic officials, stating that troops would doubtless be moved south very soon and suggesting that they make preparations to furnish a large number of cars when the proper time arrived. Court-Martial Board. An order appointing a court-martial board for the Ist Division, 34 Corps, has been issted from General Grant’s headquarters. Following are the members of the board: Major Alfred ©. Kennett, Ist Missouri; Captain Wm. C. Noble, 14th New York; Captain R. H. Harding, Ist New York; Captain A. T. Johnson, ist Vermont; Cap- tain W. H. Purple, 8d Tennessee; First Lieuterant W. 8. Robinson, 1st Missouri; First Lieutenant George W. Cleveland, ist Vermont; First Lieutenant Chas. Williams, ist Vermont; Lieutenant Leroy W. Brown, 3d Tennessee. Brigadier General Howard Carroll and Major Moore, representing the governor of New York, are in the New York camps in- specting the rations. They talk with the commissary officers and privates, and the result of their investigation so far is that they are thoroughly convinced that Uncle Sam is taking good care of his soldiers. Colonel Wilder of the 14th New York has received permission for his regiment t8 en- gage in target practice, and as soon as he can get his range in readiness the men will begin what they have been eager to do for many days. Col. Pew Relieved. Brigadier General Waites, formerly of Texas, has assumed command of the 2d Brigade of the 3d Division, Ist Army Corps, relieving Colonel Pew, commander of the Oth Massachusetts. When the new com- ma.uder assumed formal charge of the bri- gede Colonel Pew returned to the 8th, re- Teving Lieutenant Colonel Bailey. According to orders received the 12th New York is restored to the 2d Brigade, sd Division, under the brigade command of General Waites. This regiment was trans- ferred to the 2d Division so that it might be among the regiments to move under the orders received by the ist Division and ist sand 2d Brigades of the 1st Corps.

ON SPANISH SOIL Uncle Sam’s Regulars Bound for Santiago de Cuba. HOW THE TROOPS REACHED CUBA Pen Picture of the Debarkation and Bombardment. IN THE INSURGENT —_+-—-— CAMP Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BAIQUIRI, Cuba, June 23, 1808. The United States flag floats at last over hostile Spanish soil. Following soon after the landing of United States marines at Guantanamo, several days ago, the little army of regulars yesterday landed at Bai- quiri, eighteen miles east of Santiago de Cuba, and the first campaign in Cuba was begun. The voyage down.to this isolated corner of Cuba was an uneventful one, and but for the nightly excitement of betting on the probability of being blown into the air by a Spanish torpedo boat would have been monotonous. The weather was. beautitully calm and sleepy, and the dark blue waves of the tropics rocked one into unconccious- ness In a twinkling. But, oh, what 2 pic- nic one determined torpedo boat with a Cushing or a Hobson at the helm might have had. After leaving Port Tampa the fleet of transports met the naval fleet at Rebecca shoals, between Key West and the Dry Tortugas. It was a large fiect of fifteen vessels, with the Indiana and De- troit as the pugilists and the Castine, Helena, Pancroft and other smaller craft as the eyes and ears of the expedition. In three long parallel columns, each 80) yards apart, the fleet swept proudiy jown the north coast of Cuba, througn the Wind- ward Passage, and southwest to its desti- nation. But there were dark nights when the transports lagged or became separated, and there was anxiety lest the fate of the Maine might be duplicated. Off the Cuban Coast. But no; the fleet anchored off Guanta- ihamo and the flagship Seguranca moved on toward Santiago de Cuba with the com- mander-in-chief on board, to confer with Admiral Sampson. As the Seguranca drew near the New York three hearty American cheers poured from the throats of the bluejackets, and the frowning battlements of Morro Castle must have known that those cheers meant a triumph of Yankee pluck and bravery over every obstacle. Then came reconnoitering to within a mile and a half of the Spanish works guarding the bay, until it seemed as though the forts could not resist so tempting a shot; but their fire had been silenced by the battle ships on the previous day, and they were apparently in no mood to renew active hostilities. Morro and La Socapa were in plain view, and behind the head- land of the bay Estrella, Punta Gorda and Punta Blanco were lurking, while across the narrow entrance to the bay was the submerged Merrimac, flanked by a double line of torpedoes. In the Camp of the Insurgents. The conference between Gen. Shafter and Admiral Sampson was finally transferred some sixteen miles down the coast to Acer- redoros, the camp of the insurgent leader, Gen. Garcia; and al! the afternoon the three Jeaders discussed a plan of campaign beneath the green trees of Garcia’s camp, while the newspaper men sipped sugarless coffee and plucked cocoanuts from the neighboring trees. It was a picturesque spot—a little pueblo, girdled about by love- ly mountains, green in the freshness of the coming rainy season. And the ragged and famine-stricken insurgents brought forth all that they had and with the truest hos- pitality imaginable laid it at their visitors’ feet. When a soldier’s commissary con- sists of unripe pineapples and cocoanuts, and he gives those to you with genuine sin- cerity, it means a great deal. Altogether, the visit to the insurgent camp impressed all very favorably. The Cubans, though ragged, were well armed and equipped, well disciplined, and had all the camp trumpet “calls” pertaining to the usual daily duties of organizations of our own army. Yesterday at daylight the fleet of trans- ports moved opposite Baiquiri. The latter is a small town, important as being the terminus of the Spanish-American Iron Company’s narrow-gauge railroad from the mountains; and the fact, important, too, from a military standpoint, that it has an iron pier jutting out into the sea, from which the ore-laden cars are dumped into vessels. The town had been guarded by a large number of Spanish soldiers, and some half dczen block houses were visible from the wea. A General Bombardment. Simultaneous with the. movement of the transports to Baiquirl, the naval vessels bombarded four points on the coast—the Scorpion, Vixen and Texas at Cabanas, the Eagle and Gloucester at Aguadores, the Hornet, Helena and Bancroft at Esenada de los Altares and the Detroit, Castine, ‘Wasp and New Orleans at Baiquiri. The Spaniards at the last named place left in a hurry, after piling their extra rations and ammunition on top of the machine shops and setting fire to them. They also burn- ed two Baldwin locomotives and tenders, and attempted to destroy the pier, but were unsuccessful. - The shelling of the place was a beautiful sight. The men-of-war steamed close up to shore, and as the New Orleans gave the signal the guns belched forth shrapnel ana shell. To use a homely expression, “there was a hot time in the old town,” and if there were any Spaniards left lurking in the woods they must have made themselves exceedingly scarce. The bombardment é'd rot last half an hour at Baiquirl, but the effect of the bursting shells and the blazing houses of the town seemed very much like war. Care was taken not to destroy pri- vate property, and in a short time the con- flagration had exhausted itself. Disembarking the Troops. ‘Then, towed by steam launches, long col- umns of small boats filled with regulars cautiously approached the beach, and quick- ly reconnoltered the town. It was found deserted, and after establishing outposts the Janding of the remainder of the army was continued.
