Augustin Refuses to Surrender Manila
Important Conference Held.
Manila, via Hong Kong, July 20.-
An important interview has just been
held between General Agninaldo's
secretary, Legarda, and q prominent
native white man. and the Spanish
commander, Captain General Asgustin,
to surrender the city. Legarda asserted
that $4,000 insurgents Surround
Manila, and are able to enter 1t at any
moment. Thus far, he added. the In
surgents have been restrained with diff
Guilty. but il the Spaniards continue
stubborn, the result would be that the
insurgents would be compelled to bonn
bard and storm the city, with inevita-
BILE slaughter unparalleled in history,
because in the excitement of battle they
cannot discriminate.
Continuing, the captain-general' q
visitors advised him to disregard the
official tictions regarding Spanish vic
tories In Cuba and forcements COM
ing to the Philippine islands, and pro-
posed reconciliation between the
insurgents and the Spaniards In the
Philippine islands under a republican
flag. and joint endeavor to persuade
the Americans to abandon hostilities In
the islands.
Finally, the representatives Of the
insurgents proposed an appeal to the
powers to recognize the independence

BELIEVED TO BE FRIENDLY.

Germany's Action at Manila Causes No
Concern at Washington.
Washington, July 22.-Further in
quiry today in official quarters as to the
alleged complications between the
United States and Germany in the Phil
ippines failed to elicit anything which
might serve as foundation for the re-
ports of such complications. On the
contrary, it was learned that there have
been recent communications between
the two governments OF decidedly
friendly nature, and at no time since
the war began has there been greater
reason than now exists for confidence
in Germany's neutrality.
According to the calculations at the
navy department., Admiral Dewey's
fleet at Cavite should now be reinforced
by the coast defense vessel Monterey,
which. with the collier Brntus, has
now been about 20 days out from Hon
olulu. With the addition Of this fine
and powerful monitor, Dewey will be
amply able to take care Of himself, so
long as the naval forces in the Philip
pines maintain the relative proportions
they now occupy. However. the dis
closure by the state department Of
the lack of foundation for the sensa-
tional stories Of strained relations with
Germany has largely abated the anxiety
entertained at the navy department az
10 Dewey's position at Manila.

New York today. Colonel Hecker re-
turned to Washington this evening.
Tonight he had conference at the war

Washington, July eO.-After three
days consultation between Secretary
Alger and General Brooke, during which
there was frequent communication with
General Miles at siboney. the details
OF the Porto Rican expedition were per-
fected and the expedition itself gotten
under way. General Miles, with four
batteries OF artillery and some troops,
sailed today for Porto Rico on the Yale,
10 be followed quickly by an army Of
about so. 900 men.
There are some notable differences
between the plans for this expedition
and those for the stately naval pageant
that sailed away from Tampa under
General Skaters command to attack
Santiago. First. there will be practic-
ally no naval convoy. The navy de-
partment has declared that 1t is unneo-
essary; that there is not a Spanish
warship In the West Indies that dare
thrust It's bow out Of port. In the Sec
ond place, the expedition will not start
from one point, but will be divided
among several ports, thus preventing
the tremendous congestion that was
encountered at Tampa in the effort to
start the big feet. Lastly, there will
be no effort made to get the ships away
together, but the transports will be al
lowed to End their own way to their
destination.
General Miles leads the way. He
had been promised BY the president
that be should 60 to Porto Rico and the
promise was redeemed when the Yale
beaded today from Sibonev for Porto
Rico, 800 miles distant.
General Brooke will be senior officer
In General Miles command, and upon
him will fall the responsibility for the
execution Of the details Of his superior's
plans
General Miles will hoist the Ameri-
can flag at once over Porto Rican soil.
