Provisional Goyern"ent.
Hone KONG, June 2l.-General Fell
pino officially proclaimed provisional
government in old Cavite June II.
There were great ceremonies and = de-
claratiOn of independence was read re-
nouncing Spanish authority. General
AguinaldO was elected president and
Daniel PirondO vice president. The in
surgents' government will not oppose
'an American prOtectOrate or occupation.
The rebels have captured the Spanish
governor and the garrison Of 300 men at
Bulucan. The governor and garrison
ut Pampanga are surrounded and the
governor and garrison of $50 men have
been captured at Batangas. June 9 the
family of Governor General Augusti
fled to the interior for safety. The
Spaniards in Manila are reported As
having shot 20 carbineros for attempting
to desert to the rebels. AguinaldO sent
an ultimatum to the governor that if

TO GO ON THE OFFENSIVE.

Schiey tn Command Squadron Destined
For Spain.
WASHINGTON, June 2l.-DestructiOn
will be the fate Of Admiral Camara's
squadron whether its destination be the
Philippines or the West Indies. This is
the confident belief of the officials. 1t
is based upon the complete and salts
factory accounts of defective condition
of the vessels comprising the feet,
which have been published by the Her
aid and which have been officially con-
firmed. As counter mOve-the result
of the early prospective departure Of the
Spanish feet from peninsula waters
the authorities made official admis-
sion today that plans have been per-
fected for the formation Of flying
squadron to be sent against the Canary
islands and the Spanish coast. 1t is
Secretary Longs belief that the present
will be the most important week of the
campaign. If Santiago de Cuba and
Admiral Cervera's 5 fleet is taken in the
meantime, orders will be issued next
week directing the assembling of
squadron to be placed under the COM
mand of Commodore W. S. Schley,
which will at once assume offensive
operations.

LOCALIZED WARFARE.

Agreements BY Which Civilized Nstions
Diminish Wars Horrors.
What is called International law in
respect OF warfare is compact among
nations as to certain rules and fOrbear.
ances that shall be observed in conduct
ing hostilities should war arise between
any Of the parties to the agreement.
il is agreed among the great nations
Of Europe that in the event of war aris-
ing, arraying any one Of these pow
ers against another. there shall be no
privateering on either side. This limits
the capturing or destruction of the enc.
my's commerce to the operations Of reg
ularly commissioned varships.
At the beginning of the present war
with Spain President Mckinley pro-
claimed that the neutral flag covers ene-
my's goods with the exception of con-
traband of war and that neutral goods
not contraband of war are not liable to
confiscatioD under the enemy's flag.
There art differences Of opinion AZ to
whether certain articles are contraband
of war-that is, whether they can be
useful to the enemy. Thus, while sul-
phur, from which powder might be
made, is contraband. it il still an unde.
cided question whether the same rule
applies to coal that might be used In
steaming by the enemy's warships.
In all modern wars, even when such
savage forces as Spain and Turkey are
engaged, the Red Cross flag has been re-
spected BY cOmbatants ON both sides.
No pillasing is now allowed In war,
but an army may take whatever it needs
for its use in passing through country
food for men and horses. wagons and
animals for transportation. arms, muni.
tions and supplies of all kinds.
In the present war Spain claims q
right to grant letters Of marque 20 priva-
teers, but has intimated that she will
simply place under naval control the
merchant ships that are to serve - aux
iliaries in this conflict.
