Another severe engagement took
place on May 81, and the Spaniards

Hong Kong. June 7.-Advices re-
ceived here from Manila show that
the insurgents are gradually sur
rounding the city. They attacked the
Spanards at San Francisco de Mali
bak on May 81, and the fighting has
been continuous since.
The vessels released from the Pasig
River will be utilized for housing the
foreign residents of Manila on the
arrival of the American troops.
1t is said that the insurgents have
captured and are holding as prisoners
the Governors of the provinces Of
Cavite and Batangas.
A spy who is in the employ of the
Americans says that Capt-Gen. Au-

Dewey, but his officers opposed such
action and persuaded him to make a
further resistance.
Refugees are arriving at Cavite
from all directions. When the de-

The British gunboat Swift. which

gents were only four miles from the
city.

SUMMARY OF THE NEWS.

Lieut.. Carranza, the writer of the
letter which proved that he was the
head of a Spanish spy system on this
continent, and Senior Du Bose, were
arrested in Montreal yesterday at the
instance of Chief Detective Kellert,

his arrest on u false accusation in
that he purloined the letter.
Owing to the inadequacy of the wa
ter supply at Camp Alger an official
board of inspectors has recommended
that no more troops be sent there I'M
til it is improved. A correspondent
who made a tour of the camp found
that there was a great lack of equip
ments.
The Spanish people are deceived by
their Government into believing that
the act which made captive at San
tiagO Spain's only effective fleet is
proof that the Spaniards are more
than a match for the Cubans and
Americans combined.
Latest information from Havana is
that the Spaniards are amused at our
'amiable warfare. They do not con-
slider it serious and are eager to fight.
There is great and increasing scarcity
of food
Secretary Long authorized Admiral
Sampson by cable to negotiate for
the exchange of Lieut.. Hobson and
his men, and cabled a list of Spanish
prisoners from which selection is to
be made by Admiral Cervera.
Gen. Miles has reported that the
regulars who will invest Santiago
have embarked at Tampa and Mobile
and are now on the way to Key West
to meet the warships which will con-
vey them to Cuba.
A correspondent with the fleet off
Santiago. after inspecting the Merri-
mac wreck, says that she lies in the
channel with her upper works show
ing above water.
A Cadiz correspondent cables from
Gibraltar that Camara's fleet has
never left Cadiz, and that Spanish
Officials say it is held through fear of
revolution.
IMajOr-Gen. George r. SnOWden will

mel of the regiment he is organizing.

SPAIN'S PEOPLE FOR PEACE.
Ex-Minister NIoret Says That Even the Sob
diers Are Tired of the War.

London, June THE Morning Post,
in a second edition, publishes a de-
spatch from Madrid giving an inter
view with Senior Moret. Senior Moret
said:
THE Government does not know
where it is going. Nobody in Spain
can say what will be the outcome of
the situation, which is far graver than
is generally confessed.
The ship of state is drifting help
lessly on the current of events. Moth
ing is done or attempted to be done
to control events. The Cabinet is no
longer solid, despite its reconstruc-
ton.
1--WE remain the countrymen of Don
QuiXote. 1t was known that we were
not prepared for hostilities. yet we ac-
cepted war with incredible lightheart-
edness. though the only outcome could
be complete ruin and that we should
be lowered still further if possible,
in the eyes of other nations.
81 was attacked in the most out
rageous manner because l declared
that peaceful arrangement was pre-
ferable to rupture. Within a few
days the journals have started cam
paign in favor of peace. and this is
making progress with the populace.
Il am thoroughly convinced that if
plebiscite was taken throughout
Spain on the question of peace or war,
peace would be voted almost unani-
mously even by the soldiers, who
mainly disapprove of the war"
Senior Moret denounced the attacks
on the Queen Regent. who, he de-
clared, never hampered the Ministers.
She only worked in the interests of
the country.
Asked whether there was any pos
sibility of the enemies of the regency
successfully intriguing for its over
throw, Senior Moret said
1T would he an immense misfortune
for Spain. but who can foretell what
will happen tomorrow in a country
without guidance with a foreign war
on its hands, and in daily fears of
new internal complications?
'Parliament is divided differences
exist in the Cabinet, and the affairs
of the country are in complete dis
order"
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1898-06-10

The Spanish Admiral, under a flag
of truce, sent word TO the American
Admiral that he offered to exchange
the prisoners. adding that in the
meanwhile. Hobson and his party
would be treated with the greatest
kindness. Captain Oviedo, Admiral
Cervcra's chief of staff, who boarded
the New York under a flag of truce,
did not give further details of the cap
ture.
The bravery of the Americans evil
IDENTITY excited as much admiration
among the Spaniards as it did among
the men of the American fleet. The
prisoners will be perfectly safe, and
will probably be well treated while
they remain in MORO Castle.
The fleet is wild with delight to-
night over the termination of the
most daring expedition since the de-
struction of the Confederate irOnclad
Albemarle by Lieutenant Gushing.
AT quarters on the New York last
evening Chaplain Royce, praying be-
fore the bareheaded crew on deck,
thanked God for having preserved
Lieutenant Hobson and the men under
him. Last night Chaplain Royce in
voked Gods protection, hnt then be-
lieved it impossible that his prayer
could be granted.
There are now only two courses
open to the Spanish commander, who
for weeks kept the United States
guessing as to his intentions and
whereabouts. He must ultimately
either sink his ships or surrender
them to the Americans. 1t is scarcely
believed that he will be willing to dc
the latter. The chances are that
when he finds himself attacked by
land and sea, as now seems to be the
plan, he will blow up his ships tC
prevent them from falling into the
hands of his enemy.

We Want IA Guarantee of Indemnity Before
Havana Falls,

Washington. June 1.-The decision
of the Administration to send a mil
itary expedition to Porto Rico prior
to the general invasion Of Cuba is at
tributed largely to the influence of
Secretary of State Day.
In Mr.. Day the President found an
able advocate of his view that Porto
Rico should be taken as soon as posi-
bic and certainly before the general
Cuban invasion began.
Gen. Miles was the principal advo-
cate of this project, and he was joined
by Mr.. Day, who added diplomatic
reasons to those advanced by the mil
itary establishment why the capture
of San Juan was more necessary
just now than the capture of Havana.
The gist of Mr.. Days argument was
that the capture of Havana would
probably be followed by Intervention
by European Powers or peace prOpos-
ais by Spain.
He maintained that this virtual end
ing of the war might come at any
time after Havana fell thus leaving
Porto Rico still in Spanish possession.
1t is understood that Mr.. Day main
tanned that the capture of Porto Rico
should come before the subjugation
of Havana as reversal of this pro-
gramme would leave the United
States with meagre means of COM
Polling Spain to pay indemnity or to
insure payment for the cost of the
war.
The advocates of the Porto Rican
invasion won the day, and the Secre-
tary of State deserves much of the
credit.
