SPANIARDS WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH Preparations Being Mace for Most Desperate Defense of Manila. MADRID, June 29. —Dispatches re- ceived from Manila to-day under date of June 24 say the Spaniards are de- termined to fight to the death and that there is every reason to believe that when the American troops arrive des- perate fighting will occur on land and 5 {lt is supposed at Manila that the German warships will prevent the pombardment of that place, and it is alleged that Prince Henry of Prussia is on his way there on board a warship. The Spaniards are said to be activelv pushing preparations for the defense of tho city. General Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, declares that the family of Cap- tain General Augusti, who are prison- ers in his hands, are at Panpanga and well treated.

The stranger soon came in sight of the Ardilla and pursued her. The gunboat kept within | the “blue sea” and succeeded in keap- |ing out of range of the guns of the | pursuer. To the southeast of the stran- | ger, which turned out to be an Ameri- can warship, were several other ves- sels. The Ardilla made a reconnois- sance the following day, June 27, and discovered that the American ship had captured the sloops Nemesia of Bataba- no, Amistad and Manuelita of Coloma and the pilot-boats Luz and Jacinto. The American auxiliary cruiser re- ferred to in the dispatch from Havana was undoubtedly the Yankee, manned ‘by the naval reserve, which arrived at Key West from Cienfuegos on Monday last. She then reported that off the | Isle of Pines, on the west coast of Cuba, she captured, burned and destroyed five Spanish small craft loaded with fish and that she also captured two pris- oners who were releasedA WILL SURPRISE SC SCHLEY TO LEARN OF THIS His Flagship Sunk and Himself Killed by an Official Dispatch From Spanish Sources. KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 29.—The Spanish Consul here has received a ca- blegram from Santlago de Cuba asserting | that the United States armored cruiser Brooklyn has been struck by a Spanish shell, which sank the vessel and killed Commodore Schley and twenty-four sea- men. The Consul really believes the “news’ and_the Sganiardq all over the city are drinking champagne and rejoicing. It has also been reported to the Spanish Consul from Santiago that an extensive mine has been laid which will blow up half of the American army when it en- ters the city. “’ASHINGTON June 3. — At 1:15 o'clock this morning officers on duty at the Navy Department were shown a copy of the foregoing dispatch. They express- ed disbelief in the story. Not a word has been received from Sampson, they said, since Tuesday night, and the officers re- gard it as certain that had anything of the ¥ind recounted in the dispatch oc- curred the admiral would have informed the department immediately. S Utah Artillerymen Coming. OGDEN, June 29.—The full comple- ment of men to complete the quota of the Utah battery left here at 2 o'clock this afternoon for San Francisco, in charge of Lieutenant Wedgwood. General Merritt’s Secretary. ATLANTA, June 20.—Major George P. Schriven, signal officer of the Department of the Gulf, who waa recently upwlnted military sec to General Wesley Merrm, left lut nlxht for San Francisco, @ SALISBURY ONTHE WAR Would Remove the Black Cloud. BOTH NATIONS IN EARNEST SAYS MOTIVES ARE OF HIGHEST CHARACTER. With the Exception of the Present Conflict the World Looks Smil- ingly Enough to Great Britain, Special Dispatch to The Call LONDON, June 29.—Lord Salisbury, the Premier, addressing the United Club in this city, this evening, said: “There is a black cloud on the hori- | zon, one that does not affect us per- | sonally, but which evokes the deepest sorrow and our largest desire for its removal. It is the war of two great | nations, between whom we are neutral | —one bound to us by every tie of kind- |red and similarity of institutions and under the protection of our guns and |v sference to the | Ready to Fight.

We know that in both cases the motives were of the highest character. We know that the United States are animated by ele- vated philanthropy, and that Spain is | inspired by that love of independence | | which was the greatest pride of all an- :nt nations., I can only say I earn- | estly wish the day may speedily ar- | rive when this terrible slaughter be- | tween two nations will cease and the | world be restored to peace. “With this exception, the world looks smiling enough to us, politically. The | | convention with France has removed | the subject of conflict between us and | | our greatest and most cultivated neigh- ]hwr. The Soudan expedition, if suc- fully accomplished, will 'be _the | | greatest work for civilization that Eng- | |land has perforn.ed for two or three generations. “The Government’s Chinese policy is |to prevent the Chinese empire from falling into ruins, to Invite it into | paths of reform, lo give it every as- sistance in our power; to perfect its defenses, and to increase its commer- | cial prosperity. Thus we should aid | | China and ourselves. It is impossi | ble that we should have the same in- | fluence over China as over India and | F but I believe that so far as | ¥s are concerned, our advantage | fully equal to those of other | | nations.” | REDDING’S FAREWELL ‘ ‘ TO HER SOLDIER BOYS| Three Days of Merry Making Before | the Sad Hour of Their | Departure. ’ REDDING, June 29.—Company H of the Second Regiment of United States Volunteers left here for Oakland in two | special cars ‘attached to the overland train, which pulled out at 9 o'clock this | evening amid the firlng of guns and | cheering of one of the largest crowds | ever gathered in Redding.

Lieutenant Frank W. Mixter of Com- pany E, First Battalion California Volunteers, with several assistants, has been here several days mustering in recruits, and has been very success- ful. Forty-three applicants were ex- amined yesterday, and. all but eight passed. Thirty-one of these went to San Francisco last night, and seven more will go to-night.

The soldiers then marched to the depot and at 11:30 started for Oakland.

Since the beginning of the existing war one of the hardest problems the President has had to solve has been the question of sending material aid to Cuban people suffering on account of the war.

A n;.'-;lncnts} | are being made to send large quanti- ties of fresh beef and other provisions to Cuba. After the fall of Santiago it is thought General Garcia and the American troops will be able to distrib- ute the food sent by this Government throughout the entire province of San- tiago. Every week ships will leave Tampa for Santiago laden with pro- visions. The Government does not intend that the Cubans in Santiago shall be the els with pro- visions of all kinds will land their car- goes at places on the Cuban coast con- trolled by the surgents. Provisions will be carried into the interior by the Cuban troops and distributed among suffering non-combatants.
