to the Liberal from Manila, dated May

Hongkong, says: The arsenal has sur
rendered and Cavite has been evac-
uated by our troops. The Spanish
losses were 300 men killed and 600 men
wounded. The enemy suffered consid-
erably, including an officer killed on
the Olympia. The Baltimore was dam

"A consultive assembly Is discussing
the horrible situation created by hun

Since the cable was cut little news
has happened. The blockade continues,
but Admiral Dewey says he will not
lombard the town without his govern
ment's orders. He also says he hopes
that a general rebellion will take place
within four days. New batteries are
on foot in Pamangan."

also says the Panay insurgents have
been conquered, and adds that armed
and uniformed bands of insurgents
have appeared in the province of Ca
pizs. The Guamoles Island Luzon mi
ntia, it appears, is being organized for
the defense of the province.
The reference TO the Panay insur-
gents is probably another version of
the official dispatch received in Madrid
on May via Labuan, and cabled to
the Associated Press, announcing that
the Spaniards had captured Panay, the
headquarters of the Philippine insur-
rection This was pronounced TO be a
most important step towards the paci-

Garcia encamped somewhere in the
fields or mountains" said the lieuten-
ant Imagine our surprise to learn
that his headquarters were in Bayamo
that | had always regarded as one OF
the strongest Spanish fortified towns
But such was the case.
'Bayamo had been in a state of par
tial siege for months. Garcia simply
worried the Spaniards out on April "a
when flags were hoisted over every
Spanish fort around Bayamo. General
Garcia was correct in his supposition
that the Spaniards did not intend to
armistice, but simply hoisted a flag OF
truce to cover some treacherouS mill
Lary maneuver That nlaneuyer was the
evacuation of Bayamo.
'rThe Cubans answered the flags of
truce with heavy artillery and rifle
fire. The Spaniards retreated in two
columns to a little town called Embar-
cadero, on the Cauto river. For a dis
lance OF 200 yards on the st. Augustine
road the Cubans planted dynamite tor
pedoes that were exploded by an cleo
trio wire from the underbrush. From
what have learned of the affair I
believe the three entire companies of
Spaniards and three pieces of artillery
were literally blown to pieces.
General Garcia's headquarters are
IN one of the finest houses In Bayamo.
He received me most kindly and gave
me al the information that was in his
power. The obtaining of information
was my official errand, so that l am
not at liberty to tell you what it was.
but believe that shall be able to tell
the state department all that it desires
TO know about the eastern end Of
Cuba.
Garcia wants American soldiers, as
well as rifles and ammunition He is
kindly disposed toward Americans per-
sonally, and his whole army is at the
disposal Of the government in Wash
ington.
sCuban soldiers are not much to look
at, but they are the best guides 1 have
ever seen. Their endurance and re-
soureefulness are something wonderful.

taken daily through the Spanish lines
The bodies are thrown together in piles

ASIATIC SQUADRONS.
Foreign Fleets That Are Near the
Philippines.

Washington, May 14.-In view of re-
ports that German, French and British
ships are lettering at the Philippine ISL
ands, much interest has been excited
in navy circles as to the strength of
the several fleets of these powers.
There is little or no apprehension in
official quarters here that the gather
ing of foreign warships is meant as a
menace to American interests in the
Philippines. From reliable sources the
status Of the Asiatic squadron is as fol-
lows:
Germany's fleet consists of eight first
class modern vessels. Admiral Hoff

Kansas City. Mo-, May 14.-Kansas
City had a bad half hour this evening.
The town was bombarded by the heav-
lest hailstorm ever experienced. Hail
stones as big as hens eggs fell every
where, and chunks of ice as large as
common sized oranges We're seen in
many places. The storm came from
the south and throughout the city resi-
dences and business blocks are without
window panes on the south side. Sky
lights were smashed everywhere, and
in the business districts many stocks
of goods were soaked.
The roofs of several streetcars were
pierced by hail. Horses ran awav at
every hand, and there were numerous
serious injuries. Reports received here
would indicate that the same storm
passed over Johnson ard Douglas
counties, Kansas. 1t is feared that Sc
rious damage mas been done to fruit
trees.
