MANILA, June 30. via Hong Kong,
July 7.-There is no material change in
the aspect Of afrairs here. The Span
iards are strongly posted about the OUT
skirts Of the town and also along the
whole length of the conduit Of the
water works, eight miles inland. 1t Is
believed the Spaniards only hold the
water works on Buffrance, because the
insurgents pIckets hold sway every
where and could easily raid and wreck
the conduit. But the insurgents are eX-
tremely anxious to cnnciliate the neu-
trails, and therefore refrain from caus-
ing horrible privation.
The insurgents. have never employed
cannon before Manila. but they are now
bringing up sixty guns with the inten-
tion Of making a simultaneous rush
upon tho Spanish intrenchments at
Santa Mesa, Santa Ana and Malato,
thus rendering the other positions Of the
SpanIards untenahle and by u single
coup drive the spauiards inside the cIta-
del with a minimum OF destruction to
non-combntants and property It Is eX-
pected that Il Will take n week TO bring
the guns along, as they have to make
detours through a difficult part Of the
country, and It is not desirable 10 hurry.
The American troops are expected

there will be q quick finish OF the war.

WASHINGTON. D. c., July 1.-The
President called council Of war to-day
to meet at the white house. the purpose
being to review the situation and learn
exactly what present conditions are and
what changes, II any, should be made
In the plans for the future conduct of
the war. According to one of the
members It was decided to abide by the
plans already laid. at least as to the
general conduct Of the campaign. Con-

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 7.-Major
General Nelson A. Miles, commanding
the army, accompanied by the entire
stan OF army headquarters. left to-
night for Charleston. s. c., where the

ON the eve OF his departure General
Miles expressed satisfaction on starting
to Join the troops. He spoke Of the sac
rlfces and hardships they had passed
through recently and OF those yet to
come. It has operated severely against
the general officers. and General Miles
feels that he. too. Is not entirely invul-
nerable In q country OF heat, swamp and
disease. But he has strong physique,
his muscles are as hard as Iron, and he
goes expecting to stand good deal Of
knockabout service. General Miles him
self has no other purpose in going to
Santiago than to look over the military
situation and to strengthen the hand
of Shafter. There is no intention on
his part to take in any manner from
the glory that ShaftGr has won or may
win in this campaign. He will not re-
lieYe General Shafter OF his command
unless the latter's physical condition is
such as 20 demand some such action.
