Nucleus Of on Insurgent Fleet in
...s &4as. Manila Bay. Z
Rebels WONDERFUL SUCCESS.

They Have Now Captured Over Three
Thousand Spaniards, Including Nine
Hundred Observation-Disclosures Places
Captured Treasure on Our Ships.
London. June 2O-The Hong Kong
correspondent of The Daily Mail, tele-
graphing yesterday, says: A conspicu-
GUS object in Manila bay is the nucleus
OF an insurgent fleet. 1t consists of a
vessel Of hundred tons burden, pre-
sented to General ACuinaldo by rich
native. The vessel flies the flag of the
Philippine republc--three triangles of
red, white and blue on white ground,
or a ground formed Of the old rebel
flag, sun rising above the hills.
The native proclamation Of independ-
ence will be signed Monday. Manila is
completely surrounded by the insur-
gents, of whom there are three forces
deployed about the city. one posted to
the south, between Malate and the
River Pasig, another occupying a po-
stion to the east and cutting off COM
munication with the lake or Laguna de
Bay, and the third operating on the
north side, stopping all railway COM
munication between Manila and the
rich supply towns to which the line
runs.
The success of the rebel forces Is
wonderful. General Aguinaldo has
. more than surpassed the expectations
of those who favored his return to the
Philippines. He has captured 5000
Spanish troops, including 900 regulars.
Among the latter are II officers of and
above the rank of lieutenant colonel,
including two brigadier generals. and
he has taken 10 officers below the rank
of lieutenant colonel. In additie' his
forces have captured five pre- nent
priests, heads of important parishes in
provinces recently overrun by the in
surgents. These men the insurgents
hate even more than they hate the
Spaniards, and the rebels chuckle with
joy when they point them out in their
prisons.
They. have captured, too. Old Cavite
church. taking go prisoners. and they
now hold the entire shore Of the bay
right around to Malate. A foreign fire
brigade, composed of British, Swiss and
Germans, who intend to remain ashore,
are quartered at the premises of lser
e. Co. to guard foreign property against
fire. They applied to the Spaniards
to receive arms, but We're refused.
General Aguinaldo has captured a
deal of money. which he has sen.
aboard the American warships for
safety. The much vaunted Philippine
militia, which it was a serious mistake
on the part of the Spaniards to arm.
are now all fighting in the rebel ranks.
The province of Batangas. Laguna,
Cavite. Bulacan, Pampangu, Tarace
and Pangasiman are all in full rebel
lion. 1t is believed that General Pena,
with the whole of his army in the
province of Pampangu has had to
capituate to the victorious rebels.
The Spaniartls are astounded to find
that the rebels respect the lives and
property of their prisoners of all ranks.
1t is believed there are dissensions
among the rebel leaders of so serious
character that civil war is certain so
soon as the Spaniards and the Ameri-
cans have gone.
