REPUBLIC IS FORMED.
Temporary Government Estab-
lished at Old Cavite.
IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Will Not Antagonize American Occu-
patton or Protectorate-Agui
aldo President.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 20.-A special cable
today to the Record from John T. Nc
Cutcheon, a staff correspondent with
Dewey's fleet, reads as follows:
Hong Kong, June 2O.-Gen. Filipino
officially proclaimed provisional govern
ment in Old Cavite June II. There were
great ceremonies and a declaration of in
dependence was read renouncing Spanish
authority. Gen. Aguinaldo was elected
president and Daniel Pirondo vice-presi-
dent. The insurgents government will
not oppose an American protectorate or
occupation.
The rebels have captured the Spanish
governor and the garrison OF 800 men at
Bulucan. The governor and garrison at
Pampanga are surrounded and the gov
ernor and garrison of 450 men have been
captured at Batangas. June the fami-
ly of Gov.-Gen. August fed to the inte-
rior for safety.
The Spaniards at Mania are reported
as having shot thirty carbineros for at
tempting TO desert to the rebels. Aguinaldo
sent an ultimatum to the governor that If
more were executed he would retaliate on
Spanish prisoners.
THE Baltimore sailed today to meet
the Charleston and troop ships.

TO LAND MARINES.
Reported that Gen. August will Ask
Foreign Ships to Do This
at Manila.

Madrid, June 2o.--2 p. m.-The news
papers say the ca binet at its meeting yes
terday discussed the question of peace
tendencies observable in the United
States and in certain personages in
Spain, but add that Spain will ''unani-
nously repudiate unworthy conditions"
holding that peace is only possible eff the
conditions are honorable and include the
retention of the colonies"
The ministers deny the renewed rumors
of cabinet dissensions and the reported
resignation of the minister of finance,
Senior Puigcerver. 1t is understood that
in any case there will be 40 changes in
the ministry until the Cortes suspends
its sittings, which will depend upon the
voting of the budget, probably by the
end of this week. In the meanwhile the
cabinet will refuse to enter into any dis
cussion of the war or the international
situation, as being likely to impair the
governments liberty of action.
Government circles affect satisfaction
at the situation in Cuba, but in rega I'd
to Manila the belief is expressed that
Captain-General August will ask the for
eign warships to land detachments to oc-
cupy Manila, on the ground that he is
no longer able to resist the insurgents.

HAS HE LANDED 3?
Believed that Part of Army of In
Vasion Has Been Safely
Cotton Ashore.

Washington, D. c., June 20.-No doubt
is entertained at either the war or navy
departments that Gen. Skaters military
expedition has arrived safely off Santiago
by this time. AS a matter Of fact it is
believed that the first of the troops ar
rived near the blockading feet Saturday
night. According to the plans arranged
for the debarkation, the feet of transports
was to lie in safe place until Sampson
had cleared the way for landing.
The selection of landing place has
been left entirely to the judgment Of Ad-
miral Sampson and Gen. Shafter, the
ness IL order, upon the arrival of the
transport feet off Santiago would be a
war council between Admiral Sampson
and some of his naval captains on the
one hand, and Maj.-Gen. Shafter and his
stan on the other, the purpose being to
settle all the details of the debarkation.
Meanwhile the feet of transports would
lie cut at sea at least ten miles beyond
the blockadng squadron in order to be en-
urely safe from attack by Spanish torpe-
bobcats. These craft are dangerous
enough to full-hedged warships, but a
transport would be absolutely helples IS
against their attack so that the strictcst
possible watch must be kept by the con-
voys until the troops are landed, the pres
ent being the most critical moment in the
whole operation.
The work of debarking the troops is
not to be one of hours, but rather days,
according to the opinion of army officers
A great deal depends on the point Sc
lected for the landing 1t was thought
that Aguadores. east of MORO castle,
about six or eight miles. would be like
ly landing place. III view of the fact that
II has wharf, the property of an iron
ore company, which would be extremely
useful for landing the heavy supplies and
ordnance OF the siege train.
1t is reported now, however, that this
particular wharf has been commanded
by Spanish batteries, which have been so
placed as to give an enflading fire upon
it. If this be so, then the batteries must
be first silenced by the fleet else there
would be not only loss of life among
the troops, but the wharf itself might be
destroyed by the Spanish shells.
Ii the landing is made at this wharf.
no less than two days. it is estimated,
will be consumed in getting the expedi-
ton ashore, as only one ship can lie there
at time and there is an enormous
quantity of ammunition and stores to be
taken ashore. If the landing is made
on the beach it will be a tedious and
tlme-consuming operation. although it
viii be possible in that case to proceed
simultaneously from all the ships.
The army officials feel confident that
Gen. Shafter will make an effort to open
cable communication as soon as he has
landed a force and they are expecting a
ca blegram almost any moment announc-
ing the fact that lie has succeeded. Some
surprise is expressed that this French
cable has not already been reopened. as
the cable steamer was at Mole st. Nico-
las the middle of last week with all of
the necessary material and men for re-
pairing the breaks and opening up the
station.

Little Doubt that the Deed was
the Work of Enemies of the
Govern

Cincinnati, O.. June 2O.-The finishing
department of the King Powder located
at Kings mills in Warren county was
destroyed last night in a manner leading
to the belief that it was the work of enc
mics of the government The building,
in which was stored a quantity of smoke
less powder, had evidently been fired by
two men near midnight one of whom
was badly burned and had been appar-
emily dragged away from the burning
building by his companion, who then ran
away in the direction of South Lebanon.
Smokeless powder in the condition it
was in this department does not explode
like ordinary powder with a fash, but
breaks into a bright light and burns for
some time. The great light attra cted
citizens and some of these met a stranger
going toward South Lebanon. The in
jured man was taken into custody. He
is apparently a foreigner, but is so badly
injured that he can scarcely talk. The
powder burned was not for the govern
ment and the money loss is inconsider-
able, perhaps $4,000. This company has
a contract to supply the government and
this is thought to be the reason its de-
StructiOQ was ATTEMPTED.

HAVE MANY PRISONERS.
Four Thousand Spaniards and 1000
Natives Held by Rebels.

Hong Kong. June 2O.-The United
States transport Xatiro, which has Just
arrived here and anchored III Chinese
waters. brought news from Manila, under

ton and the transports from San Fran
cisco which the warship is conveying.
The latter were expected to reach the
northea SternmOSt point of the island OF
Luzon shortly afterwards.
Thirty carbineros who attempted to de-
sert from the Spanish forces June IL
were arrested and shot. Gen. AguinaldO,
the insurgent leader. has informed United
States Consul Williams of the forma ton
of a provisional government, merely for
cohesive purposes. and has notified him
of the desire of the insurgents that the
Philippine islands become an American
colony.
The Spaniards have sunk the cruiser
Cebu so as to Obstruct the passage of the
Pasig river.
The Americans at Manila say appar-
emily friendly rela exist between the
French and German SQuadrons.

ventura proceeded from Hong Kong for
Manila yesterday and another British
warship is to follow her.
The British steamer Esmeralda left
yesterday for Manila in order to bring
away refugees and the British steamer
Yuen Sang will leave here today for the
same purpose.

DESCRIBE THE BATTLE.
Secretary Long Receives Visits
from Men Who Were with
Dewey at Manila.

Washington, D. c., June 20.-Secretary
Long received a call todaE from DR.. Kin
dleberger, assistant surgeon of the Olym-
pia, flagship of Admiral Dewey's squad
ron, and Gunner Evans of the cruiser
Boston, both of whom participated in the
battle off Manila. They are the first to
arrive here to give the officials personal
information of that famous engagement
DR.. Kindleberger is on leave and Incl;
dentally on his way to take a bride al
San Francisco.
Gunner Evans time expired early in
April. but knowing that battle was inn
pending he asked Admiral Dewey for per-
mission to remain at his post through the
engagement, and this was readily grant
ed as Evans is. a veteran at-the gun, such
as Dewey needed.
The two men looked bronZed from eX-
posture to the tropical suns and their
sturdiness gives assurance that Dewey's
men were not suffering at Manila, a fact
of which they gave Secretary Long YER
bal assurance.
Gunner Evans had long talk with the
secretary, describing many interesting
phases of the battle. Afterwards he
talked with a representative of the AS
sOciated press. On the night before the
battle the officers remained awake and
ready for service constantly, while the
of the crew was high and they were
eager for the contest. There was no ap-
prehensiOn, except in crossing over the
mines at the entrance of Manila bay, for
the fate Of the Maine had aroused dread
lest the Spaniards had planted mines and
torpedoes at the entrance.
The Olympia. with the admiral aboard,
took the lead through this unknown dan
ger, and when this had been cleared there
was keen eagerness to begin the fighting
There is no long dawn in the Philippines,
the transition from darkness to clear day
light coming in a few minutes. 1t was
shortly after 5 o'clock that this change
came, disclosing the Spanish ships laying
eight miles Off The American sailors
watched the hurry and confusion on board
the Spanish ships as they prepared to de-
fend themselves. They were practically
helpless, as their fires were banked and
beyond clearing the deck for action and
getting the men to quarters, they could not
be moved.
Meantime the Olympia had led the way
and the American ships were in line Of
battle for their first broadside Evans
remained at the ammunition cases, serv-
ing shot and shell as fast as needed
The men at the guns had stripped to the
waist, keeping on only their trousers and
shoes. There was not a breath of air
stirring and aside from the intense trop-
ical heat was the heat Of action and of
excitement.

FISHERIES COMBINE.
The Great Lakes Industry Is to
Pass Into the Hands Of Eng
lish CAPITALISTS.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 1S.-W. Vernon
Booth Of the A. Booth Packing company,
afirms reports to the effects that the fish
cry interests of the Great Lakes region
and the allied canning trade will be COM
bined In a gigantic corporation sustained
by English capitalists. The association
will embrace nearly all the fisheries of
the United States. The A. Booth Pack
ing company of this city, recognized as
the largest individual house Of the kind in
the country, and a number of local fish
companies, will be merged into the new
corporation. June 80 is the day set for
the formal transfer of individual proper
ties to the hands of the principals. The
names of the men who are backing the
monopoly in London are not revealed, but
upon the authority of Mr.. Booth, it is
stated that they are men of high stand
ing in the financial world.
In all there are twenty-four concerns
which will be in the corporation. Mr.
Booth declines to give out the amount
of the capital stock, but to judge from
the size of the A. Booth Packing COM
pany, which is one Of the twenty-four
concerns, the stock will be in the mil
lions. The Booth company alone en-
ploys 5000 men. The other companies are
engaged around the great lakes and Ca
madam fishing regions

Which Are to Form Addition
to Manila Forces.

San Francisco, Cal. June 1S.-Maj.-
Gen. Merritt, L. S. A, has issued an
order to Gen. Otis, designating the troops
that are to compose the third Philippine
expedition, which will be commanded by
Brig King.
The order names the troops as follows:
The two battalions of the Idaho volun-
teers; the Thirteenth Minnesota regiment
of volunteer infantry, two battalions
North Dakota volunteers, the Seventh
California regiment of volunteers, the
Wyoming battalion of volunteers, the
two batteries, G and L, of the Third
United States artillery commanded by
Capt. B. j. Randolph and Capt. W. E.
Birksimer, respectively.
These troops will be transported by the
steamers Morgan City, City of Para.
Ohio, Indiana and Valencia. all Of W hich
are being put in readiness as rapidly as
possible, under the direction of Maj
Long the depot quartermaster, who is
in the expectation of having this work
completed by next Wednesday. The ex-
act date of sailing has not been fixed,
but it will probabl be not later than the
end of next week.
The commissaries of the various COM
mands have been instructed to report to
Col. Baldwin, chief commissary, what
-
board the transports.
Gen Merritt and his staff may sail
with this expedition. He has had the
matter under consideration for some lit
tie time, and as he is very anxious to
depart, he is making every effort to SO
arrange his affairs that he can 60.
Maj. r. E. Thompson, chief signal of
fcer of the expeditionary forces, will
sail with Gen. Merritt and is now pre-
pairing to take his departure at an hour
notice. The signal corps is yet lacking
in its required quota of expert telegraph
operators, who will perform an impor-
tant part in the conquest and government
of the Philippines. Fifteen are coming
from St. Paul, to be followed by others
from other Eastern cites. Maj. Thomp-
son will leave an officer in San Francis
CO to enlist men for the corps and for
ward them, together with necessary sup.
plies, to Manila.
Maj.-Gen. Otis will arrange the details
of the fourth expedition and will prob,
ably remain here until all the troops are
embarked. 1t is hoped he will accom-.
plish this on or before July /.

THEY ALL WANT BONDS
subscriptions for Per Cent. Issue
Exceed All Expectations
Small Ones First.

Washington, D. c., June 20.--Although
the amount of the subscriptions to the
new per cent. loan is not made public,
it is officially stated that it exceeds all
expectations. This is particularly true of
the larger amounts. The number of sub
scriptions received for sums of $500 and
less is large. But the department wishes
it thoroughly understood by the public that
even should the whole loan be subscribed
for several times over in large amounts,
every subscription of $500 or less will be
accepted at once, as all small amounts will
take precedence in the allotments over
large ones. A subscription for 20,00O,-
OG0 has been received from a prominent
life insurance company of New York, en-
closing certified check for $500, 600 as
placing of the loan.

A Magnet for Lifting Steel.

ELECTROMAGNETIC devices have been IN
everyday use at the proof butts of the
royal arsenal at Woolwich for over five
years, and in the transport of heavy pro-
jectiles weighing as much as 1900 pounds.
Formerly to move large number of shot
was most aborious work, not only on ac
count of the great weight, but by reason
of the difficulty of getting sings around
the projectiles. The introduction of the
electromagnetic in place of the sings has
rendered the task easy and one which is.
quickly performed. In this case the body
or core Of the magnet is of inverted U
shape and in one forging, and the wind
iron fianges and is covered by thick brass;
strips. The magnet is exceedingly eff
Gent, and requires about one-eighth
horsepower to energize it for lifting
