Manila. July Is. via Hongkong. July
23.-Unless the Spaniards surrender in
the meantime Rear Admiral Dewey
will lombard the Notifications Of Ma
Mia by the end of this week, provided
the troops are ready to take posses
sion Immediately. The first detach-
ment is already in the field at Para
uaque, two miles from Manila. The
Spaniards are reported to be buoyed
up by the hope that the Cadiz fleet,
due, here on July 1G, would arrive
soon, but the news Of the destruction
Of Admiral Cervera's squadron, which
was brought by the japanese cruiser
Nanawa. may lead them to surrender.
The insurgents are constantly har-
RAISING the Spaniards on both sides of
the city, but they are checked by the
big guns of Manila and Santa Mas
Notifications. The second detachment
of the United States military force ar
rived in excellent condition, though
four died on the voyage.

Washington, July 24.-rhe following
cabiegram was received at the war de-
partment:
Hongkong, July %. - Secretary of
the Navy: Following is for the sccre-
tary of war: 10 the Adjutant General:
Aguinaldo declares dictatorship and
martial law over all the islands. The
people expect independence Recon-
mend Chinese ponies. Anderson.
Gen. Anderson was the senior army
officer Mt the Philippines when the dis
patch was sent, probably several Jaws
before the Hongkong date.
The dispatch gave the cabinet food
for consideration at their regular
meeting. There was no disposition to
force any issue with the ins,lrse:lt
chief at this time, hut it is pratty we'll
understood that lie will not be al
lowed to commit the United States
government in the future treatment Of
the Philippine question. The visit Of
the German ambassador to the Eresi-
dent and to the secretary of state was
a basis for belief that he had called
to make some representation on that
subject. and, perhaps, rs well on the
programme laid down Ivy Watson's,
projected voyage to- European waters.
Ii so no official confirmation was cb-
tainable, and "a friendly visit" was
the only explanation offered by Sccre-
tary Day for the appearance of the
German ambassador in the dog days
in Washington. The embassy people
were no more communicative, so that
it. any thing of Importance passed dur
ing the meeting it will probably be re-
vealed only in the shape of action
later on. 1t would not be surprising
if it should develop that strong Euro
pean influences are being brought to
bear to dissuade the navy department
from dispatching Watson's fleet to
Europe. But so far they appear to
have been Intellectual, for it is official
" stated that the departure Of the
squadron is only delayed, not aban-
doned.
The reference in Gen. Anderson's
dispatch to Chinese ponies means that
the general desires that kind of cav.
airy animals.

Everything He Does Is Done in II
Way to Exclude Criticism.
Washington, July 23.-That Dewey
already has the situation in the Phil
ippines in hand is shown by his last
telegram, which simply reads like 9th
ers that have come before, that affairs
are quiet and satisfactory. Here is
the telegram, dated at Cavite, July II:
situation unchanged. Second army
detachment arrived to-day. All well
on board. The health Of the squadron
continues good. No sickness whatev-
er. Dewey"
The state department has come to
realize 4 full sense of Dewey's diDlo-
matte abilities as the country has for
his naval skill and courage. and the
best evidence of this is that it has not
found it necessary up to this point to
interfere in any way either to protect
or amend his works. The navy de-
partment has now discovered that the
big double turreted monitor Monterey
will not arrive at Cavite until Aug ),
that being the advices received at the
navy department from the captain Of
the vessel when she touched at Hon.
Olulu.

Gen. Wood of the Rough Riders Gets
the Job.
Santiago, July % - Gen. Leonard
Wood, commander of the rough riders,
has been designated as military gov.
ernor Of Santiago city and has sue
ceeded Gen. McKibbin, who has been
filling that Office temporarily since the
Americans took formal possession Of
the city last Sunday. Gen. McKibbin
has resumed command Of his brigade.
Gen. Woods selection for this impor-
tant position has given rise to con-
siderable jealousy, although am told
on all sides that Gen. Wood is we'll
qualified for his new duties, particu-
larry so because Of his medical knowl-
edge. This jealousy seems to exist
mainly among the regulars,-who feel
that the volunteers are receiving more
than their just proportion of recogni-
ton. Gen. Woods selection, it is un-
derstood, was requested from Wash
ington.

At Last Reported ON It's Way to

Washington, July 23.-The anxious
~ awaited report of Admiral SamD-
son on the naval fight with Cervera's
squadron is now on it's way here on
the cruiser st. Paul, under Capt.
Sigsbee, which left Siboney day before
yesterday. The trip to New York is
three or four days, so the report is due

Saturday or Sunday. After going
over it the authorities will make pub
lie liberal extracts on the details OF the
engagement. This, and the supple
mental reports of the fleet officers are
awaited with great interest, not only
from the light they will throw on this
memorable fight, but from the techni-
cal lesson they will give Oh explosives,

HOPE OF PEACE.
Seems to BE Much Further Away


Seems to BE Much Further Away
Than Ever.
London, July 23.-The Madrid cor
respondent Of the Times says: Hope
OF &: speedy peace must be abandoned
and O. more circuitous route adopted.
1t is asserted that diplomatic negotia-
tons have been discouraged. Premier
Sagasta. Duke Almodevar, foreign
minister, and Senor Gazzo, minister of
public works and institutions, consti-
tuting a sort of ministerial combine on
peace, are continuing the discussion on
this subject, but the cabinet comes to
no decision. This is probably due to
reports of Carlist and Republican
movements, which are realized to be
totally unfoIndeu.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1898-07-28

Washington, July %. - Gen. Miles,
leading the army expedition against
Puerto Rico, started at o'clock ves-
terday afternoon from Siboney, Cuba,
for point on the the island of Puerto
Rico, where it is the intention that he
shall land and effect base for the
expeditions from Tampa, Charleston
and New York to fall into his column.
These expeditions are already under
way, some Of them with two or three
days start of Gen. Miles, so that the
delay should not be very great. After
all the difficulty about the naval con-
voy and the first conclusion Of the
naval authorities that none was neces-
sary, the strength Of that now fur
nished is surprising. There is battle
ship Of the first-class, the Massachu-
sets: an effective protected cruiser,
the Cincinnati; a speedy and well
armed gunboat, the Annapolis, and
four vessels Of the auxiliary navy,
which have already proved by their
performance in Cuban waters that
they are fully equal to the ordinary
gunboat in offensive power. These
are the Gloucester, which dis
tinguished herself in the destruction
of Cervera's squadron: the Wasp,
which has attained an enviable
Notoriety us a Disturber
of Spanish blockhouses; the Leyden,
which for time was the sole repre-
sentative of United States power in
Havana harbor, and the Dixie. Sec
rotary Alger expects that Gen. Miles.
on the Yale, will arrive at his destina-
ton OH Sunday morning with 5000
men under his command. A day later
will come 1000 men on the transports
and tile day following that $500 more.
Whether the landing will be deferred
until the arrival of this entire force,
or whether Gen. Miles will take the
initiative and hoist the flag himself on
Puerto Rican soil is left to the discre-
ton of that officer. 1t is the depart
ment's intention that he shall not lack
for troops or equipment, and this first
expedition may be followed by several
others as fast as the troops can be
gotten ready until word comes from
the general that he does not need any
more. Gen. Schwan's brigade, COM
prising the Fifth, Eleventh and Nine
teenth United States infantry, splen-
did body of trained soldiers, sailed
from Tampa to join Gen. Miles, and If
the Puerto Rican expedition IL not an
immediate success it will not be want
of dash on the part of the war depart
ment to supply every requisite.

Atlanta, Ga, July %. - 1t was re-

port, but seven enlisted men who
came in from the post said that three
of the Spaniards had gotten away yes
