INTERNATIONAL BANK.
Senate Passes Important Bin-wm
Discu Hawaii.

Washington, June 1.-THE foreign
relations committee through Mr.. Davis,
the chairman, to-day reported favor
ably to the Senate the Newlands reso-
lutions for the annexation of the Ha-
waiian islands, Mr.. Davis announced
his purpose of calling up the resolu-
tions tomorrow for consideration, but
as the Senate decided to adjourn until
Monday, the debate upon the resolu-
tions will not begin until that time.
Mr.. White (California) indicated that
he would lead the opposition to annex
alton by requesting Mr.. Davis to repeat
his announcement. Mr.. White resumed
his seat, evidently satisfied.
The bill to incorporate the Interna-
tional American Bank, in accordance
with the recommendation of the Pan
American Congress, which has Occu-
pied a greater part of the Senate's time
this week, was passed this afternoon
by a vote of 26 to 25. The design of
the measure is to furnish such banking
and exchange facilities as will promote
trade between the United States and
the countries of Central and South
America. The bill provides that the
bank shall have capital stock of $5,-
600, 900, and that the capital stock may
be increased to $25,OOO,OOO. The insti-
tuition, in accordance with the terms of
the bill, shall be under the supervision
of the comptroller of the currency,
and in the charter of the corporation,
which the bill grants, certaing privi-
leges are accorded to the interpretations
in view of advantages which are ex-
pected to accrue to those interested in
trade with southern countries. An
amendment TO the bill provides that
any coterie of citizens who comply
with the requirements of this charter
may organize and establish an inter-
national bank,

RUNNING THE BLOCKADE.
1t Ii Feared That Vessels Are Getting In
to Havana


New York, June ia special to the
Herald from Washington, ID. c., says:
Apprehension is felt in official circles
that as result of the weakening of
the blockade squadron success may at
tend the operations of the blockade
runners. 1t is known in official circles
that Havana has been receiving food
stuffs, and it is regarded as quite prob
able that these supplies were brought
by blockade runners, who have used
neighboring West India islands as the
base of operations, just as Nassau was
used during the Civil War.
1t developed today that eighteen
men-Of-war had been withdrawn from
the blockading squadron to form the
conveying squadron under the com
mand of Captain II. G. Taylor, COM
manding the battleship Indiana. Be-
fore the withdrawal of these ships the
blockade squadron had been reduced
by the departure of Rear Admiral
Sampson with the New York, May
flower, Porter and several other ves-
sells

food supplies for the Spanish troops,
and carrying, it is understood, 500, 900

THE PHILIPPINE EXPEDITION.
First Troops Ought to Reach Manila June
18th.


Washington, June lit is stated on
authority that the first expedition to
the Philippines did not stop at the La
drone islands, and that the second will
not put in there.
The first expedition. comprising 1900
men, on the steamers City of Sydney,
City of Pekin and Australia, was last
spoken to just after having left Homo
lulu. The vessels were ahead of time
and should reach Manila about June
18th.
The troops will be assigned to the
forts in the vicinity of Cavite.
The second expedition, 3,465 officers
and men under General Greene, which
left San Francisco yesterday, is expect
ed to reach its destination by July 18th.
The third and probably the last ex-
pedition to the Philippines will leave
San Francisco about June Both. Cen
eral Merritt has stated that he will
go with this command.
In case the Ladrone islands are to
be occupied, it is believed the work
will fall to this party, and in case of
occupation, Umata will probably be the
port selected. AT this place there is a
fine harbor and a good location for a
coaling station.

GERMANY ATTITUDE.
She Has No Intention to Take q Hand In
the Philippines.


Berlin, June 16.-Advices received
here to-day say that the German trans
port Darmstadt had arrived at Kiao
Chou bay, and that the German sec
ond class cruiser Princess Wilhelm
sailed yesterday from Nagasaki for
Manila.
The Cologne Gazette to-day publish
es a note, understood to be semi-offi-
cial, which reads as follows:
According to trustworthy informa-
ton, all cOnjectures in the press and
political circles in Spain which are be-
ing built on the supposed intention of
Germany to abandon her neutrality in
the Philippines question are entirely
baseless. In Spanish official quarters
the arrival of German men-of-war at
Manila is regarded as perfectly natur-
al, for the German interests there de-
mand protection.
The attitude of the German govern
ment. as it was pointed out, must In no
wise be judged by the hostility of the
Majority of the German press and peo-
pie toward the United States.

MILES AT WASHINGTON.
He Has o Good Opinion of the Army-The
D.mcuItIes Overcome.

=
D.mcultIes overcome
Washington, June 17.-Major General
Miles, general-in-chief of the army, ac-
companied by Colonel Maus, Major
Davis and Colonel Greenleaf Of his
staff, arrived in Washington to-day, af-
ter having directed the departure or
the first army of invasion to CUBA.
General Miles looked hale and hearty,
despite the three weeks incessant work
of bringing order out of chaos in the
hurriedly concentrated army.
The general continues to wear his
citizens dress, while all the Officers
about him are in fatigue uniforms, ana,
save for the pith helmet such as Is
worn in the East Indian service, he
shows no evidence of coming from the
field. He conferred with Secretary Al
ger for half an hour before the Cabi-
net meeting and then had long talk
with General Luddington, quartermas-
ter general, on the condition of the
quartermaster's supplies. Speaking in
general way of his observations,
General Miles said:
Having spent some time with the
troops, during trying period or nur-
ried preparations, am glad to say that
they are splendid body of men, OF
which the country may well be proud.
As to the regulars, they are the finest
corps in the world, without any excep-
ton, in physical development, effi-
cheney, experience, discipline, marks
manship, equipment and all that goes
to make up first-class soldiers.
"Of course, the volunteer army is not
as well equipped. Some of the states
sent men into the field in very good
condition, notably Massachusetts and
New York. Others sent their quotas
without arms, equipment or clothing.
They were not soldiers at all, only en-
ployed men. 1t takes time to make
soldiers of these men,"
Secretary Alger said that he was
entirely satisfied with the condition of
the troops as reported by General Miles
and wished he had the means to pro-
vide every one of the volunteer soldiers
a daily surf bath, such as was en-
joyed by the men at Tampa. General
Miles is yet to have conference with
the President.
In the meantime the plans are NOV
ing steadily for sending further expe-
ditions both to Porto Rico and Cuba
There is little likelihood that a second
expedition of 5000 men to reinforce
General Shafter at Santiago will leave
within the next few days, as has been
reported. The necessity of sending
these additional forces is questioned by
high military authorities and, more
over, the means of transportating such
force are not available.

CAMP AT FERNANDINA.
New Rendezvous Being Prepared for
Troops.


Washington, June 16.-The War Do
partment is fastening forward the
preparations at Fernandina, Florida
winch will make that point one of the
most advantageous in the country for
the concentration of a large body of
troops. The special board which in
spected Fernandina found the pro.
posed camp grounds so suitable, by nat
ural conditions and surroundings. that
several thousand troops could be NO.
commodated there to-day il IL were
necessary to institute the camp at once
the orders for this concentration have
not yet been issued, although the infer
ence Is clear that they will follow when
Fernandina camp grounds are ready.
The department calculates that the
grounds will accommodate 2OOOO
troops when all preparations are com
pleted.
The various preparations have as
their main object the departure of a
large expedition to Porto Rico at an
early date. 1t was confidently stated
by high officials within the last day or
two that 1t was hoped the expedition
could be so rushed as to get it away
within the next ten days. Whether the
extensive preparations. the moving of
troops, the gathering of trans
ports, and the movement in
detail can be executed In this
time is open to doubt. al
though extraordinary execution marks
every branch of the military service in
advancing the expedition to compile

DEWEY"
New York, June ia dispatch from
Hong Kong to the Evening Journal
says the most important battle since
Dewey's annihilation of the Spanish
fleet has occurred just outside of Ma
Mia. One thousand insurgents at
tackled 1000 Spaniards, inficting
heavy losses and almost forcing an en-
trance to the city. The insurgents un-
der Aguinaldo with American sail
ors and marines of Dewey's fleet have
completely surrounded Manila.
All foreign residents have fled to
ships in the harbor. Admiral Montejo
and Governor Augusti have placed
most of the women and children and
the priests in the forts for safety.
Governor Augusti is reported to have
been willing to surrender to the Ameri-
cans in order to prevent the insurgents
from capturing the capital, setting it
on fire and killing all Spaniards, but
the archbishop overruled him.
A Spanish spy attemINed to poison
Aguinaldo, but the plot was abortive.
Aguinaldo was made very sick, but
has completely recovered.
The success Of the insurgents has
been wonderful. The number of Span
iards taken prisoner in the two weeks
campaign aggregate 5000, including
1000 regulars, and Generals Garcia
and Cordoba. The governors of the
provinces of Cavite, Balucan and Ba-
taan We're also made prisoners. Two
million rounds of cartridges were
seized in fortified cathedral at Old
Cavite. A large garrison at Old Cavite
has surrendered. thus giving the in
surgents command of the shore along
the entire bay.
All interior sources of supply are now
cut off from the Spanish forces in
Manila.
Everything is in readiness for the ar
rival of the American troops and they
can take Manila in twenty-four hours
as the city is now at the mercy of our
fleet.
Dewey's conduct of the blockade is
admirable
A great fire is raging north of Manila.
The insurgents have just stormed
and captured the water works, shutting
off the Manila water supply and the
city must surrender in n few hours.
Governor Augusti has ordered all
males to become soldiers.
