All these goods, it 1s asserted, hipped from Copenhagen mainly by the Thingvalla line. The German Government has ordered that three cruisers be kept in West Indian waters. In spite of the war the man exports to America are as large as ever. moak BN NO- CAUSE FOR ALARM AT THEIR NON-ARRIVAL First Philippine Expedition Prob- ably Delayed by the Charles- ton’s Stop at Guahan. NEW YORK, July 2—A Washington speclal to the Herald sa; Officials in both the War and Navy Departments are of the opinion that there is no cause for alarm at the non-arrival of the first Philippine expedition at Manila. This expedition sailed on May 25, and if it proceeded directly to Manila, should have arrived there about June 25. Up to the last advices received by the Navy Department the expedition had not reached its destination. Although the officials are unable to give any rea- son for the dolay in this expedition reaching Manila, they surmise there nmunition and | may have been some delay caused by the programme which contemplated a stop at Guahan in the Ladrone Islands. Guahan is about 1500 miles from Ma- nila, and is defended by old fortifica- tions provided with old style smooth bore guns. The object in sending the expedition to that place was to have the Charleston, which convoyed the ex- ‘pedition, reduce the fortifications and thus obtain a coaling station for the other American vessels. No doubt that this part of the programme was suc- cessfully executed, but it is thought not unlikely the expedition may have been delayed at Guahan longer than was expected. HAS CONFIDENCE IN \ AMERICA'S FAIRNESS Aguinaldo Expects That the Philip- pine Insurgents Will Receive All Their Rights. LONDON, July 2—The Hongkong correspondent of the Daily Mail say: To & friend of United States Consul Wildman General Aguinaldo has de- clared: “The Philippinos have the greatest confidence in America's fairness. We trust the American people, confident that, with their support, we shall be able to obtain and hold our full rights and shall be respected by all the Euro- pean powers. The Americans are re- dressing Cuban wrongs and will do the same for us in the Philippines.” A dispatch to the Cologne Gazette from Hongkong declares that General Aguinaldo, flushed with victory, insists upon the absolute independence of the Philippines. Another report alleges that there is an agreement between the United States and Japan to prevent the interference of Russia and Germany in the Philippines. AT L Not Guilty of Murder.

TWO SHIPS ENTER THE SUEZ CANAL NEW YORK, July 2.—A Washington special to the Herald says: The Span- ish ships Colon and Covadonga entered the Suez Canal yesterday. The rest, with the exception of one repairing, have left the harbor, coaling from their | transports. This is the extent of a cablegram re- ceived this afternoon at the State De- partment from Deputy Consul Watts, who is attached to the Cairo consulate, but who was sent to Port Said to ob- serve the movements of the Spanish fleet, and in conjunction with Consular Agent Broadbent, make every effort to prevent any violation of neutralitylaws along the canal or at its entrances. The departure of the fleet with the excep- tion of one vessel, the torpedo-boat de- stroyer Audaz, whose machinery was damaged during the run from Cadiz and which is undergoing repairs, shows that Admiral Camara in deference to the Egypttan Government, which has been considering the protest flled by American agents against permitting the fleet to remain too long a time at Port Said, has gone outside the harbor for the purpose of coaling from trans- ports which have reached Port Said. The Colon and Covadonga are merely supply ships, the former carry- ing stores and the latter coal. The officlals understand that Admiral Camara’s fleet will ccal from the Cova- donga in case they should pass through the canal, the Egyptian Government having declined to permit any of the colliers at Port Said to proceed to the Red Sea and then furnish coal to the Spaniards. It is understood in naval circles that Camara’s ships are coaling from the Isla de Luzon and San Ig- nacio, which arrived a few days ago from Spain. The Navy Department learned to-day from an official source that the report is current in Madrid it is the intention of the Ministry to direet Camara to return to Spain. The department has also heard the report that three torpedo-boat destroy- ers with the Spanish fleet are to be re- turned tv Cadiz, and while it is believed to be true, nothing positive can be said on this point. It is expected Camara's fleet will have completed coaling by to- morrow or Monday and its movements after that time are awaited with inter- est. A strong belief is current in official circles that in declaring the departure of the squadron from Port Said Spain is guided by a desire to learn the re- sult of the campaign against Cervera's ships. Watson's squadron will not sail in pursuit of Camara until after the fall of Santiago de Cuba and the de- struction of Cervera’s fleet. When this work has been accomplished the de- | partment’s order requires the formation | of Commodore Watson’s fleet. It will at once start on its voyage to destroy Admiral Camara’s command. Secretary Long stated to-night that no change had been made in the naval programme. Commodore Watson’s fleet, he said, would sall for Spain in a few days, even should Camara’s squad- ron return to Spain. oL CAMARA'S FLEET REPORTED STARTED An Ironclad Bought From China Said to Be Waiting at the Other End of the Canal. Special cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 15%, by James Gor- don Bennett. MADRID, July 2.—Camara's fleet, it Is announced officially, has started. It is also stated that the ironclad bought from the Chin se Government awaits it on the other end -~ the canal. The re- turn of the torpedo boat destroyers is imnortant. | Minister for Foreign Affairs, Duke Al- modovar de Rio, has caused it to be an- nounced that the only difficulties met with in Egype were due to the repre- sentations of the American Consul against the duration of the squadron’s stay and the purchase of coal. The passage of the canal, the Minister ex- plained, could not present any diffi- culty. GIBRALTAR, July 2.—Infantry, cav- alry and artillery are going to Ferrol. Five guns have been sent to Vigo for the Cabodemar and Bula batteries. CADIZ, July 2—Tarifa is arranging to billet 3000 troops. The strengthening of all batteries is proceeding rapldly. LINARES FALLS AND THE CAPTURE IS BUT A FEW HOURS AWAY Special cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 159, by James Gor- don Bennett. S : WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY, via Playa del Este, Cuba, July 3.—The chances that General Shafter and the army of Americans will celebrate the Fourth of July in Santiago are very bright. They have done another not- able day's work in their assault against the Spanish forces. Their vic- torious progress, begun yesterday, has been continued. It has been a day of desperate fight- ing on both sides. The American and Spanish leaders have thrown them- selves into the front line and they fig- ure largely in the list ¢ dead and ‘wounded. General Linares, the Spanish com- mander, was shot down in the prelim- inary flsh’flu yesterday. Several Y | won, Walter Juck second, TANS ARE WARN 'AGAINST INTERF! colonels and lieutenant colonels in the American columns were killed. From latest reports it is believed the Americans have sustained losses in the | two days’ fighting of twelve hundred | killed and wounded. The Spanish loss is much greater. At least one thosuand Spaniards have been killed and- two our forces. G . The divisions of Lawton and Chaffee, which did gallant work throughout ‘the day, effected a junction at noon to-day and did most effective work against the most irresistible charge against center of the enemy’s lines. After great effort the Americans placed their artillery in positions from which they effectually cannonaded the city. At noon the telling effect of the artillery and infantry attacks was be-. coming apparent, and the fall of the city was seen to be only a question of hours. ; Among the American dead are: LIEUTENANT DUCAT, Twenty- fourth Infantry. LIEUTENANT AUGUSTIN, Twenty- fourth Infantry. LIEUTENANT COLONEL : CAR- ROLL, Ninth Cavalry, who succeeded Hamilton. -vRPORAL GEORGE IMMENS, Seventy-first New York.
