NEW YORK, June 15.-A cable to
the Sun, dated Camp McCalla, Guam
Bay, June IA, says:
This morning Lieutenant Colonel
Huntington, commander of marines,
sent out four scouting parties. TIL ,se
parties were instructed to make an
aggressive fight upon the Spani ards,
and the order was carried out to the
letter. These parties returned to
camp at 10 o'clock tonight and gave
the details of their trip and their vic
tory over the enemy. They brought
with them 10 Spanish prisoners, inciu-
ding a lieutenant. They also brought
100 rifles and 10000 rounds of aminu-
milton, which they had captured from
the enemy.
SHARP FIRING.
Between the camp from which the
scouting parties started and the sea
there are three ridges of hills. In the
valley between the second and third
ridges was the tank which supplied
the Spaniards with water 1t was the
destruction of this water supply which
was the primary object of the eXpedi-
ton. Captains Spicer and Elliott
and Lieutenant Mahoney crossed the
second range of hills, meeting sharp
firing every few minutes from their
front. 1t was evident from this that
they were driving body of Spanish
in front of them.
Lieutenant Mahoney stopped at the
cross roads and formed his men to
hold the position. A vigorous fight
occurred at this point for little
while, but the Spaniards were forced
to retreat. Lieutenant McGill and
his men came up after having captur-
ed heliograph station and put n
body of Spaniards on guard to rout.
He tra' I straight over the third
ridge, hing there and crossing be-
fore , other parties.
,PANIARDS DRIVEN BACK. >
Early in the afternoon Captain FL
lott and his men drove the Spaniards
over the crest of the third ridge.
Lieutenant McGill and his party were
waiting for them, and as they appear
ed on top of the hill and attempted to
descend they poured n deadly fire in
to them. The enemy were driven back
to the crest of the hill. The Dolphin
had moved around to the sea side of
the hills in the morning. and was also
keeping a sharp lookout for the enc
my ashore. When the Spaniards were
seen on the crest of the hill whittier
they had been driven by the pitilesa
fire of the Americans and Cubans be-
low, the Dolphin took a hand in the
game. She let drive with her four
inch shells and they caused havoc
among the terrified Spaniards, who
rushed down the hill again to escape
the death dealing missiles from the
ship.
Between the marines and the Dol
phin the Spaniards were cut to pieces.
1t is known that more than 100 were
killed and more than 200 wounded.
One Cuban. cooperating with the
Americans. was Killed The Spanish
water supply was destroyed.

of life was heavy.
Admiral Sampson is highly gratifed
at the results of the bombardment.
He thinks the western batteries prac-
tically demolished. As some of the
guns on the eastern batteries did not
fire, he thinks it possible they were
only dummies. The only regret ex-
pressed is that Lieutenant Hobson
and his companions, by their presence
in El Moro, made ii sacred.
IN MANILA.
NEW YORK, June IA World ca
BILE dated Manila, June 18th, via
Hongkong, June 18th, says. Terrific
fighting has been going on for six
days between the Philippine insur-
gents and the Spanish troops. The
rebels under Aguinaldo have more
than held their ground, while the
Spaniards lost heavily. The insurgents
now hold 5000 prisoners, 1000 of the
number being Spanish soldiers.
There are 10000 armed insurgents
in the field
Captain General Augusti was furi-
Gus at this humiliation by mere ma
tives," and he resigned, succeeded by
his second in command, who counter
manded the withdrawal of the troops
from the field
The insurgents proposed to form a
republic under Anglo-American tute4
lage and threaten to visit with severe
penalties the insurgents who have be-
come turncoats, especially in the case
of Paterno, a prominent native pro-
tege of the Spaniards.
The store that
never disappoints.
