MANILA who believed Ca

discouraged and ready to capitulate on
demand His terms are: Spanish
troops marching out with honors Of
war; the soldiers, the military and civil
officials to be granted parole to return
to Spain; protection to be assured of
life and property of the Spaniards
against the natives.
All foreign interests, involving i'm
mense capital, are now at complete
standstill. The foreigners are urging
surrender. Even the Germans con-
cede it is foolish to resist.
Augustus rank and file are ready to
yield. Only the intermediate officers,
ioafng in cafes, suffering no hardships
and seeking false glory, are in favor OF
longer hostilities. Dewey expects to
take the city without loss of life.
Aguinaldo, insurgent chief, is going
to cause trouble here, and already Adj

rather than friend. While he has
kept up friendly front he has issued

A fight before the latter place on

eight companies of the Sixth Massa-
chusetts and Sixth Illinois regiments,
but the enemy was repulsed and driven
back mile to ridge, where the Span
ish cavalry charged and were routed
by our infantry. General Garretson
led the fight with the men from Illinois
and Massachusetts and the enemy re-
treated to Yacou, leaving four dead on
the field and several wounded. None
of our men were killed and only three
were slightly wounded.
The Porto Ricans are glad the
American troops have landed and say
they are all Americans and will join
our army. The roads are good for
military purposes. Our troops are
healthy and General Miles says the
campaign will be short and vigorous.

procla nation
'In the prosecution of war against
the kingdom of Spain by the people
of the United States in the cause Of
liberty, justice and humanity, its
military forces have come to occupy
the isla nd of Porto Rico. They come
bearing the banner of freedom, inspired
by noble purpose to seek the ene-
mics of our government and of yours,
and to estroy or capture all in armed
resistance.
They bring you the fostering arms
of a free people, whose greatest power
is justice and humanity to all living
within their fold. Hence they re-
lease you from your former political
relations, and it is hoped this will be
followed by your cheerful adoption of
the United States government.
''The chief object among our military
forces will be to overthrow the armed
authority of Spain and give the people
measure OF liberty consistent with this
military occupation. They have not
come to make war upon the people of
the country, but on the contrary, they
bring protection not only to your
selves, but to your property, promote
your prosperity and bestow the immu-
mites and blessing of opr enlighten-
ment and liberal institutions and gov
ernment.
cit is not their purpose to interfere
with the existing laws and customs
which are wholesome and beneficial to
the people, so long as they conform to
the rules of the military administra-
ton, order and justice This is not
war of devastation and denotation, but
one to give all within the control of
the military and naval forces the ad-
vantages and blessings of enlightened
civilization"

''The Philippians resident in Europe
pray you not to abandon the Philip

Spain. Our loyalty and trust in the
honor of America entitle us to your
