SERIOUS FOR SPAIN.
MUTINY AND MASSACRE.
Spanish Promises to Rebels Great,
But AguinnIdo's Attraction Greater.
Dewey Restraining the Insurgents
from Excesses--IloiIo Quiet.

LONDON, June IA dispatch to the
Times from Manila. referring to the
fighting Of May S0th and June LIST, says
the Spanish loss in killed, wounded, and
prisoners was very heavy. but that the
most serious feature of all for Spain is
the detection of hundreds OF native auxil-
iaries. The dispatch adds:
zone native regiment deserted after
killing It's officers and massacring a
company OF Spanish infantry and rebels
and ex-rebels on both sides have been
shot because they were suspected OF
treachery to their respective generals
1.-THE Spaniards are endeavoring by
every means to win over the rebels. who
are attracted by promises of pardon and
high Offices, but Aguinaldo's attraction
is stronger.
AGUINALDO'S ACTIVITY.
HE has completely surrounded Manila,
by cutting the railroads and holding the
rivers. by which food had previously
reached the city. II the city is not
starved into surrender. the rebels may
carry It, having now an increasing num-
Der of rifles and fieid-guns.
"Aguinaldo's treatment of the Spanish
prisoners is exemplary. Few excuses
are reported. except where priests were
mutiIated before being killed
Admiral Dewey is not assisting the re-
bells, but it is probably due to him that
Aguinaldo's forces avoid excuses.
Foreigners. with the exception OF the
French nuns. remain in Manila. but are
ready TO board the refugee steamers as
soon as the necessity arrives.
"Iloilo Is quiet"
