Manila (via Honglohgl, June Is
1t is now officially admitted here that
the lack of food supplies has become a
serious matter Gunboats conveying
volunteers sent into the lagoon to
search for food for the city have re
turned and reported the total failure
of their mission
II has been officially admitted that
the troops have been thirty-six hours
without food. The insurgents are
gaining everywhere and are now firing
into Manila itself
The commanders of the gunboats also
report that every lagoon and town is
hostile and that their garrisons have
probably been massacred. The Span
lsh fleet was unable to effect land
ing, in spite OF prolonged firing upon
the part OF ali the gunboats Nobody,
however, was killed
This removes the last hope of pro-
visioning Manila,
I During the week all the garrisons
were simultaneously overpowered or
surrendered as prisoners. The latter
are well treated. A majority of those
who resisted were slaughtered.

Gaimanera lies four miles up the
bay from Camp McCalla. under the

spaniards Unable To Resist the Insurgent
Attaeks.
Manila, June 16, (via Hong Kong,
June l7.)-General Pena and 1000
Spanish soldiers have surrendered at
Santa Cruz, and other surrenders have
taken place at La cnna and at Pom
panga. There is no necessity for in
reference by Dewey. as no excesses
have been committed owing to nomi-
nal resistance of the Spaniards. The
insurgents propose TO form a republic
under Anglo American tutelage, and
will punish turncoats severely.
The ammunition of the Spaniards is
very untrustworthy, being old, rotten
and untested. The spaniards are i'm
potent with rage, bewilderment and
despair. Carloads of food have
been stored inside the citadel with the
intention of standing siege and defy
ing American Warships. But the idea
is ridiculous, for the so-called citadel
is totally untenable against the fire of
fleet of modern warships
