whereupon the Irene slipped her cable
and steamed out by the other channel.
In reply to the fire of the American war
ship the Spaniards, numbering over 800
men, surrendered everything.
On returning to Manila the Irene ex-
planned that she interfered sin the cause
of humanity" and offered to hand over
to the Americans the refugees she had on
board. Admiral Dewey, however, de-
clined to accept them.
Gov Gen. August has issued pro-
clamation promising to grant autonomy
to the island and Offering the insurgents
inducements to Join the Spanish forces.
Gen. Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, in
reply, said the overtures of the Spanish
commander came too late.
The insurgents made vigorous attacks
on the Spaniards from all sides on July
6. with little result. They shelled the
Spanish blockhouses and trenches north
of Manila and captured the Spanish guns
at Santa Mesa.
There was a furious musketry fire all
night long at San Juan, Santa Ana, Paco
and Pasayi, the Spaniards replying with
artillery and musketry. The insurgent
artillery is not yet operating. About
400 native militia at Santa Ana have
Joined the insurgents.
The insurgents have rushed the Malate
intrenchments, pushing forward to the
walls of the forts, but they had to retire
at daylight. 1t is probable that both
sides lost a hundred men each.
The Americans and the insurgents are
acting independently, both conducting
their own operations and hoping to
evolve an agreement afterwards.
The extent and duration of Gen.
Aguinaldo's influence is uncertain. But
it is certain that the MOhammedans OF
the south archipelago ignore him and the
| insurgents of the Isle of Luzon and other
regions are content to use Agunaldo un-
til the Spaniards are expelled, when
there will be a state of chaos unless a
strong force of Americans assume con
troll of the islands.
The secret katipunan society, which
was chiefly instrumental in organizing
the campaign, is not fitted, it is said, tC
assist in administering the government
of the Philippines.

The death of Mr.. Corsa will be read
by many of his old friends here with
regret 1t occurred in Brooklyn, N. Y,

BOYS BRIGADE TO GIVE A FAIR.

At the Boys Armory Corner of State
and ED Streets, Beginning March 81.
The Second Connecticut regiment of
the Boys Brigade and the First bat
terry of light artillery, assisted by the
brigade staff, are preparing to hold
grand military fair at the Boys Brig
streets, commencing Monday, March 81,
and to be open afternoon and evening
for one week.
Major Sherman has been elected
manager, with Major Cosgrove as as
sistant, and a representative from
each company and one from the bat
terry, brigade and regimental stats as
a committee of arrangements. This
committee held a meeting Friday night
and decided on many of the details of
the fair. An afternoon and evening
will be arranged for each company
and a short musical and literary pro-
gramme, military drills, stereopticon
views or war scenes will be given each
night.
The interior Of the building is being
overhauled by carpenters and painters
and it's appearance is very much inn
proved. 1t will be decorated with
flags and bunting and the usual forms
of booths will be replaced by tents APP
propriately arranged so as to give the
appearance of a military camp.
The young lady friends of members
will be present in full force to assist in
making the affair success. This is
very worthy cause and thus far the
general public has not been called up
on to contribute to the expenses of
this organization. 1t Is therefore con-
fidently expected that their response
will be hearty and generous and all
who visit the fair are assured of a.
pleasant time.
Season tickets will be only IS cents,
and single admission 10 cents. The
proceeds of the fair are to be applied
to the fund for building the new Boys
Brigade armory.
