Continuous fighting has been going on ever since, re- sulting in the rebels taking the towns of Parneque and Pasay on the coast. Several towns on the north- east of Manila are now surround- the insurgents, who press Spaniards hard, notwith- the latter's superiority ed by the i standing in artillery One day’s fighting illustrates all. Having taken Pasay, the rebels debouched from the swampy into the rolling country, containing woods, a few modern houses and an occasional stream. Near the beach was a large pow- der magazine close to a well-built stone battery. The rebels mad a rush at this magazine at night, capturing several prisoners, rifles and some powder before the Spaniards could rally to protect their posi- tion. In the morning the rebels deployed in the woods south of the magazine, opened a hot fire on the Spaniards, using the same | tactics as they had done in all previous actions I have wit- nessed. From my position in the rear I could see the rebel ad- vance line crouching behind cover while the Spaniards poured a continuous fire of small arms at them. The insurgents replied with carefully aimed shots; then a group of twenty or thirty would make a rapid rush toward the front, dropping under cover with- in fifty paces of their starting point. The Spaniards soon be- gan firing shells from the field guns, in the fort, but not much age was done. When the rebels had massed about 3000 men within easy range of the magazine they lay quiet, intending to make an as- sault that night, but fortunately they covered in time that the Spaniards had mined a bridge over which they must charge and the assault was countermanded. dam Aguinaldosays he does not expect to make much more progress until the United States troops arrive. The Spaniards have such great superiority in artillery that the insurgents cannot suc- ceed in an attack on the walled fort in the city. To guard against assault by the rebels the small gunboat Cebu has been placed so as to command Puente de Espana, across the river Pasig, which di- vides the city. A large number of field guns has also been placed around the city walls. Aguinaldo says the Spaniards have 35,000 troops in Manila. My own information, obtained from men in the field, who have the best opportunity of observing the enemy, places the number under the Spanish flag at 7000, of whom 2000 are volunteers, who are useless as a fighting force.

Pelayo, Rapido, Pa- triot, Audaz, Osada, Prosperina, Giral- da, Prelejo, Colon, with the Minister on board; Alfonso Doce, Canadong, Anto- nio Lopez, Isla Panos, Buenos Ayres and San Francisco left Cadiz yester- day. The first eleven passed the rock bound for Carthagena for orders. The last three have troops on board.” This is Admiral Camara's Cadiz squadron, and appears to be in the Mediterranean, bound for | African shores. GIBRALTAR, June 17.—The Cadiz fleet, which was sighted off Ceuta last evening, passed here to-day, going eastward. It consists of two battles ships, four cruisers and four torpedo boat destroyers. MADRID, June 17.—Admiral Cama- ra’s fleet, sald here to consist of over twenty vessels, is reported to have been divided at sea and to have pro- ceeded to different destinations. There Js a feeling of great optimism in official circles here and in the lob- bies of the Cortes, owing to the depar- ture of Admiral Camara’s fleet. It is said that :t has an enormous quantity of war material on board, including a mysterious new explosive. There are a number of rumors in cir- culation here as to the destination of the fleet. One has it that the Spanish warships are now heading for Boston, Mass., with the intention of bombard- ing New England towns, and another report sets forth that the Spanish re- serve fleet is going to the Philippine Islands. The Spanish newspapers say that work is being actively continued on fortifications in the Canary and Ba- learic Islands. The Liberal reiterates the declaration that “if Spain has nothing to hope for from the powers she is able to defend herself.” Before the departure of the Spanish warships a flag of honor, embroidered by the ladies of Cadiz, was presented to the officers of the cruiser Carlos V. It was a solemn ceremony. Captain Aunon subsequently held a council of war with the commanders of all the ships of the squadron on board the Pelayo. Captain Aunon, after the departure of Admiral Camara, wired the Premier the following: “The reserve squadron and the troops of the expeditionary corps, on leaving Spanish waters, send greetings to the Government and the fatherland and affirm their desire to fight for them.” The Minister of Marine also tele- graphed to the Queen Regent enthusi- astic greetings from the squadron and their determination to fight to the last for the national honor. It is announced that Captain Aunon, after inspecting the arsenal at Car- thagend, will return to this city and or- ganize a third squadron of warships. He sent a message to the Premier that he was much satisfied with the condi- tion of the squadron of Admiral Ca- mara. Premier Sagasta, it is said, hopes to prorogue the Chamber of Deputies next week. Fresh contingents of troops are being constantly called to the colors and there is great activity in the War and Navy departments. Work on the fort- ifications at the different ports of Spain is being pushed and it is asserted a third squadron of warships is to be formed immediately, to be composed of the Cardinal Cisneros, Lepanto, Al- fonso XIII and other cruisers. Cadiz is to be the rendezvous of this squad- ron. It is the general opinion here that a protracted war is ahead, and it is semi- officially announced that the Govern- ment does not count upon the support of any power, and that even Germany, in spite of her great interests in the Philippine Islands, will do nothing to favor Spain. the military party has obliged General Augusti to resign and transfer the com- mand to Jandene, who was second in command.

Panic in Manila General and Spanish | ‘} Families Enter Inside the | Walled City. . | Copyrighted, 18%, by James Gordon Bennett. BY JOSEPH L. STICKNEY. MANILA, June 8 (via Hongkong, June 17).—General Aguinaldo has ad- vanced steadily. Sunday, June 5, he took Capote, Las Pinas and Paraneque, all strong Spanish positions. The rebels even arrived within 100 yards of the powder magazine at Mal- ate. The Spanish retreat from Paraneque was disorderly, and in their flight only just escaped being cut off by a flank movement of the rebels. The Spanish arrison at Capote surrendered, and the garrisons throughout the province of Cavite gave up the fight. % The rebels have taken nearly 3000 prisoners, who are guarded in Cavite. The city of Manila is quite surrounded by rebels, and an attack is expected hourly. The provinee is in the hands of the rebels. It is renorted that Maca- bele, where the wife and family of the Captain-General were guarded by na- tive volunteers and Spanish troops, has surrendered. It is also reported that ) MAY RETIRE TO THE ' VIZCAYA ISLANDS. If Obliged to Capitulate at Manila Augusti Intends to Remain Governor General. MADRID, June 17.—One of the high Spanish Ministers in an interview to- day said: “Aguinaldo, after breaking faith with the Spaniards, induced the uprising in aid of the Americans by swearing that the latter only came to liberate the Philippine Islands and would support a native republic. But when the natives see through the trickery and Span- ish warships appear with re-enforce- ments there will be a reaction in favor of Spain, because the natives, although fickle, are still influenced byv the friars, who are only hated by the members of the secret societies and not by ths mass of the natives. “If Manila is obliged to capitulate the seat of government will be transferred to the Vizeaya Islands, General Au- | gusti capitulating as®commander ol | Manila and not as Governor-General of the Phillpppines.” The Minister also denied that the Spanish Government had any intention of ceding territory to Germany in ex- changed for any undefin>d assistarce. Tl e VERY CHUMMY WITH SPANIARDS AT MANILA. Actions of Germans Cause the Belief That They Have Something Up Their Sleeve. LONDON, June 18.—The Hongkong correspondent of the Daily Mail says: The Archbishop of Manila, Monsignor Nozaleda, announces that he has had a communication 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: “The Germans are disposed to be meddlesome here. Germans and Spaniards are very chummy, entertain- ing one another at dinner parties and walking arm in arm everywhere, Thera Is no question about how the Brit sh feel. They are watching the Germans closely.” The Hongkong correspond:nt to the Times sa, According to Maalla ad- viees dated June 183 and broaght here by Her Majesty’s ship Linnet, the reb- els have captured the family of Cap- tain-General Augustl. In most cases the desertions of the naval regiments have been accompanied by a massacre |of the officers. It is reported from Shanghai that the Spanish Archbishup from Manila has arrived there with the German troopship Darmstadt. MANILA MAY HAVE FALLEN BY THIS TIME. It Is Believed Dewey/ Has Rbached an Understanding With the Insurgent Leader. WASHINGTON, June 17.—Dewey’s report of June 12 from Cavite was food | for a good deal of discussion to-day at | the Navy Department. Taken in con- | nection with the press reports it would seem to indicate that Manila probably has len by this time. One phrase used by the admiral, “that they do not intend to take the city at the present time,” warrants the belief that he has reached a perfect understanding with | the insurgent leader, and that the town is not to be attacked until the Ameri- can troops arrive. For some reasons it is extremely desirable that such should be the case, and that Dewey should receive the surrender of the town in person rather than force the Spaniards to surrender to insurgents and thereby afford a possible pretext for the inter- ference of some of the European pow- ers, whose ships are gathering in sus- piciously large numbers in Manila Bay. SPANISH ARTILLERYMEN STAMPEDED FROM MALATE Immense Consternation Caused, It Being Believed the Insurgents Were Attacking. MANILA, June 6, via Hongkong, June 17.—During last night, owing to a mis- understanding, a squad of Spanish ar- tillerymen stampeded from Malate into Manila, causing immense consternation, it being believed that the insurgents were storming the city.

AUGUSTI RESIGNS - HIS MILITARY COMMAND. Council of War Made Furious by the General’s Proposal to Surrender. MANILA, June 5 (via Hongkons, June 17).—The captain general held a council of war, at which it was pro- Posed to surrender because “ resistance was clearly useless and a deplorable ex- penditure of blood and heroiaf efforts were rendered futile by lack of train- Ing, insufficient supplies and the small- ness of the force.” The council was furious at this sug- gested “humiliation by mere natives,” and Captain General Augusti resigned his military command, being succeeded by his second in command, who coun- termanded the order for the withdrawal of the troops from the field. NO HARM DONE, SAYS MADRID Spectal Dispatch to The Call. MADRID, June 17.—Advices received here from Havana from official sources characterize the fighting at Guanta- namo Bay as “‘mere skirmishing,” with the “net result that the Americans have been able to ho'1 the place where they landed.” Continuing, the Havana dispatch says: “They have suffered greatly, both from the fusillade and the heat. The Spaniards are in possession of several wells, none of which has been in- jured. The stories that the fortifica- tions at Caimanera and Morro have been damaged are false.” The following official note has been issued here: “The charges of Spanish cruelty to the wounded and mutilation of the dead are false. These accusa- tions have caused the liveliest indigna- tlon among all classes in Spain, espe- clally among the troops, who are in- dignant at the calumnies. The Spanish army is conducting itself in this wa with the nobility it has always shown, as proved by the evidence of the Amer- ican prisoners who were released, and | its discipline is so strict that any mis- | conduct would have been relentlessly | punished.” | The following is a Spanish_ report of the bombardment of Santiago de Cuba: “On June 16, at 5 a. m., fire was opened on the coast batteries of San- tiago de Cuba by four American battle- | President’s second call, 43,000 will Ise 0 Copyrighted, 1398, by James Gordon Bennett. | MOLE ST. NICHOLAS, June 17.—"1 tell you all of Cervera’s fleet is not in Santiago, as Americans think it is. Two of the largest of the Spanish ships are now hiding at the eastérn end of Cuba, not far from Mole St. Nicholas. I know what I am talking about, pe- cause I coaled them,” said Captain Huke, of the British steamer Ravens- dale. He talked in a half-boastful, half-de- flant way about his voyage that ended here. While the Gloucester was here Huke was reticent and sulky, but when the Gloucester left his manner changed. He was very angry at what he called the hindrance the American navy was putting in the way of his business and did not hesitate to say so. ‘This blockade of Cuba is a joke,” TWO SHIPS NOT PENNED IN SANTIAGO he said. “I can run through it when- ever I want to. and I do. The British flag protects me. The American naval officers are a lot of fools. When they boarded me at Guantanamo they never had sense enough to look into my bunkers to see whether they were full of coal or not. No, I will not tell you how_much coal I had, but ith was enough for a big Spanish warship I met the other day. My bunkers are empty now. You can draw conclusions as to what I did with it. “Cervera is on the flagship Colon and is in Santlago with a few ships, but two big ones that the Americans do not suspect are prowling around outside. They have been waiting for coal and have got it. They are now ready for business and some day will surprise the Americans.” Captain Huke proceeded to San Juan, Pm’llo Rico, for a cargo, probably more coal.
