FULL OF ARROGANCE.
Well Armed and Flushed With
Victory
They Are More Formidable
Than the Cubans.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Gen. Merritt
has again cabled the war department
relative to the situation in Manila,
which he finds very unsatisfactory and
dangerous owing to the attitude of the
insurgents
In the opinion of Gen. Merritt the at
titude of the insurgents there is SINH
lar to that assumed by Garcia's Cubans
upon the question of their right to en-
ter and possess themselves of the city,
although in this case the insurgents are
a very much more formidable element,
being not only more numerous but bet
ter armed and filed with arrogance
following numerous victories over their
Spanish foes.
Gen. Merritt, however, indicates that
he will do his utmost to protect the cit
izens from the savagery of the insur-
gents though his task is a delicate and
difficult one because of the fact that
he must, while fighting the Spaniards.
be ready at any moment to repel the
insurgents.
The general gave notice that he was
about to combine with Admiral Dewey
in a joint demand for the surrender of
the city to the United States forces
thus forestalling the insurgents and
this move may cause a rupture. It is
possible, in view of the fact that Gen.
Merritt's cablegram was sent from Ca
vite last Thursday that this movement
has been made already by the combined
American military and naval force. al
though there is some doubt about this
on account of a statement from Merritt
that he may need all his soldiers before
attacking. Still, it is possible that the
demand might be made without being
Immediately followed by an attack
which might be deferred until all the
trOOus have reached Cavite.
Up to the date of the report. Gen.
Merritt had with him about 1900 SCI
diers- So far seven expeditions have
left San Francisco carrying soldiers to
the Philippines and it is the intention
to furnish Merritt at least 5000 men
more than his present force If he de-
lays his attack until all these have
reached him Manila will not be taken
in that way before September for the
last of the troops have not yet started
from San Francisco. 1t may be- how
ever, that the arrangement as to the
Philippines, which, it is expected. will
be included in the peace treaty will
obviate the necessity for further action
on the part of the American COM
manders.

AWFUL RAIN OF SHELLS.
The Oregon Fired 1,776 Times ut the
Spanish ships.

PLAYA DEL ESTE. GUANTANAMO
BAY. July l3.-Some idea Of the awful
rain Of shells poured into the doomed
Spanish squadron on the morning of July
Sd by the pursuing American warships
may be gained from the number of shots
fired by the battleship oregon. This num-
Der also bears out the statement Of the
Spanish officers that It was the fire from
the secondary batteries that drove their
men from their guns and forced the ships
10 beach themselves
From the time when Private O'Shea. of
the battleship Oregon, fired the first shot
from her forward 6-pounder until the
Cristobal Colon turned toward the shore
the Oregon fired LIS shells. OF these
1910 were from her 6-pounders The big
t3-inch guns were fired thirty-four times.
the S-inch guns twenty-eight times, and
the 6-inch guns twenty-four times. The
l-pounders were fired twenty times.
The destruction caused by some of tho
shots was fearful. one S-inch shell,
which penetrated the turret Of the Almi-
rante Oquendo, exploded, and killed every
person inside. blowing some to pieces.

estmated-that II Is based upon actual
surveys most carefully made and ex-
amined. and upon the further important
fact that each new examination OF the
proposed route Of the canal has brought
TO light very important opportunities for
reducing the cost Of the canal. The bill
assures the confident expectation that the
engineers will succeed in establishing this
great waterway In the most economical,
useful, and permanent manner. And the
maximum, assumed In the bill TO be
$lS.Ooo.000. is believed to be from sl0,00. CSC

slpiIlty and practicability of ship canal
from Brito 10 Greytown. and the opening
OF ample and safe harbors at those To-
cahues, at a reasonable cost. as COM
pared with other great ship canals. and
with the value Of this waterway as ray

OF the canal, as stated by Admiral Walk
er' Is Sl25,cO0OO0; as stated by Professor
Haupt' is S00O,W0 and as stated by
General Haines, IS S140cOO000, all of hem

TIE INDIANA DEMOCRATS.
Fusion With PopuIists-Chicngo
PIntform-MonroeD Doctrine

SPRINGFIELD ILL, July 13.-ThC
Democratic State Convention yesterday
nominated a ticket. headed by William f.
Dunlap, of Jacksonville, for State Urea
surer. The ticket was put through with
out opposition.
For University trustee, Jacob e. Seller,
OF Mount Carmel, was named by the
Populists in the fusion arrangement.
The platform endorses the free-silver
and tariff platform Of the Chicago decla-
ration, and continues:
1--WE reaffirm the Monroe doctrine, and
again pledge ourselves to abide by the
advice of Washington to keep ourselves
free from entangling alliances with for
eign nations.
I'VE recognize William Jennings Bryan
as the leading exponent Of the foregoing
principles"
The war-plank follows:
1--WE pronounce the present war with
Spain justified by every consideration of
Justice and sound national policy. We
congratulate the Democratic minority in
Congress on their firm stand in demanding
the redress OF our national honor; en-
dorse the declaration Of war with Spain.
and demand the energetic prosecution OF
the war in the cause of humanity"
