A Republic Proclaimed.

LONDON, July IA representative of
Gen. Aguinaldo, the leader of the Philippine
insurgents, who served with him during
the last instruction, and who is now In
London, is quoted in an interview as say
ing that before Aguinaldo left Hong Kong
he promised Rear Admiral Dewey not to
enter Manila until the arrival of the Amer
lean troops.
Aguina,do's representative adds that he
has just received dispatch from Cavite
saying a republic has been proclaimed
there by Aguinaldo under the protection Of
the United States and approved by Great
Britain and Japan.
Continuing, the representative of the
Philippine leader asserts that he has been
to Berlin, where he saw the under secretary
for the foreign Office, who declared that
all Germany wanted was that the existing
import tariff would not be altered by a
republic being established in the Philippine
Islands, or at least, that preference should
Lot be given to any other nation.

Secretary Alger this morning re-
ceived the following dispatch from

CAMP AT SAVILLA, CUBA,

be bulletined, SO far as warranted. The
officials showed every disposition to keep
the public completely advised of actual oc-
Currances.
Gen. LayvtOn's Division.
According to Gen. Skaters report. the
attack on Santiago was begun by the I'd
Division of the 9th Army Corps, commanded
by Brig. Gen. H. w. Lawt ton. This divi-
sion consists of three brigades, made up as
follows:
First Brigade, commanded 10y Col J. J.
Van Horn-Sth United States Infantry, 22d
United States Infantry and I'd Massachu-
sets Infantry.
Second Brigade, commanding officer I'm
known, but supposed to be Col. Bates-1st
United States Infantry. 4th United States
Infantry and 2oth United States Infantry.
Third Brigade, commanded 10y Brig. Gen.
A. r. Chaffee-7th United States Infantry,
18th United States Infantry and 18th
United States Infantry.
1t thus appears that the division which
opened the hostilities of the day Is COM
posed entirely of regular troops, seasoned
and experienced in battle, with the excep-
ton OF the I'd Massachusetts Volunteer In
fantry, regarded as one of the best Volun-
teer organizations Of the army.
Gen. Lawton's Record.
General Lawton, who was chosen for the
important and responsible duty of opening
the battle by the capture of Caney and
the intercaption of Spanish reinforcements
now nearing Santiago, is a good fighter end
a soldier of experience and ability. He
served in the Union army throughout the
war, having entered as sergeant OF Com
pany E, 9th Indian Volunteer Infantry,
in April, 1861. and being successfully pro-
r.otcd through merit On the field of battle
to first lieutenant Of the Both Indiana In
fantry, in August, 1861: to captain in May,
1862, and lieutenant colonel in November,
1864. In March, 1865, he was brevettcd col
onel for gallant and meritorious services
during the war. He entered the regular es-
Establishment in July, 1866 as second lieuten-
ant of the fist Infantry (colored), and re-
II aimed with that branch of the army until
January 1871, when he was transferred to
the 4th Cavalry, with which he remained
Until September, 1883, when he was ap-
pointed inspector general, with the rank OF
major. He was subsequently promoted to
the rank Of lieutenant colonel, and held
that rank until the opening of the present
war with Spain, when the President ap-
pointed him brigadler general of volun-
teers and assigned him to the command of
a division Of the 9Th Army Corps, COM
manded by General Shafter.
