AGUINALDO AS DICTATOR.
Evidently Trying to Forestall Americans
who VIII Soon Move on Manila.

VIM WIN oooh Nsofs On Nlanllia.
Washington: cablegram has been
received at the war department from
Gen. Anderson, who headed the first
expedition to Manila, in which he
says Gen. Aguinaldo, the insurgent
leader in the Philippines, has declared
himself dictator and has proclaimed
martial law over all the islands. The
proclamation is absurd in many partic-
ulars. He describes at great length
his insignia of office as president of the
Philippine ministry and shows his
almost childish desire for gold braid
and ornaments of display.
Manila, via Hong Kong: Gen. Ander-
son has taken steps to compel Aguin-
aldo to show his hand. Mai. Jones,
chief quartermaster, went TO Paran-
aque TO hire horses and carts. Find
ing that he could do nothing without
an order from Aguinaldo, he went
twice to the insurgents headquarters,
but could not see him, the excuse being
that he was indisposed. Then Mai
Jones wrote the rebel leader, saying
the Philippines a good stable govern
ment, and the natives ought to be will
ing to help them. He was willing to
pay fair prices for labor and material,
but if he could not get it that way Gen.
Anderson would take what he needed
The insurgents have been repulsed
near Malato with heavy loss and they

is also said to be much dissension
among them, owing TO alleged bribery
upon the part of the priests. Aguin-
aldo refuses TO be subordinated to the
United States. He does not seem to
realize his position, as evidenced by
his appointment of cabinet, his dec
laration of independence and the
formal hosting of the insurgent flag.
The natives are suffering from "swelled
heads and are likely to cause trouble
for the Americans. Each local chief
desires to become the supreme ruler OF
his island They are in a state of
anarchy.
About 1,5O0 American troops have
been landed halfway between Manila
ana OaVlIe anu Jne cruiser boston was
sent to support them in case of an
emergency.
Manila via Hong Kong: The disem-
barkaton of the American troops com
posing the second expedition is being
pushed with the utmost energy. The
Colorado regiment is already in the
field near Paranaque and other regi-
ments are being landed. The entire
regiment of the First California volun-
teers advanced to Janbo, only two
miles from the Spanish lines surround
ing Manila. The California troops
have been thrown out by Gen. Ander-
son to form the advance of the attack
in force. South Manila is to be cap
tured first. The Colorado and Utah
batteries are being landed at Paran-
aque directly from the ships. The
Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers, with
the rest of the artillery, will land at
Malabon, just north of Manila Brig
Gen. Francis V. Green, formerly colonel
of the list regiment of New York, is
in command of the advance, Gen. An
derson remaining in Cavite.

CAPTURED ANOTHER PORT.
u. 8. War Vessels Make Short Work OF
the Spanish at Nipe.

Under orders from Rear Admiral
Sampson the Annapolis, Topeka, Wasp
and Leyden sailed into the harbor OF
Nipe, on the northeast coast OF the
province of Santiago de Cuba, and after
a furious bombardment took possession
of the harbor. In the course of an
hour they silenced three forts, sank
the Spanish gunboat Jorge Juan and
scattered Spanish rifemen who had
taken part in the engagement.
Two smaller Spanish gunboats which
were in the fight with the Jorge Juan
fed before the Jorge Juan was sunk,
taking refuge in small creeks, where
they were afterward found abandoned
and were captured. After the shore
batteries were silenced and the Jorge
Juan was destroyed a body of marines
was sent ashore, where the flag of
truce had been hoisted over the fort.
The surrender of the city was de-
manded and was promptly complied
with by the military governor. The
Spanish flag was hauled down from the
city hall. The American flag was
hoisted in its stead and the city was
taken possession of by a company of
marines from the ships. The engage
ment lasted scarcely an hour. Not a
man was hurt or vessel injured on
the American side.
All the American ships sent small
boats over to the Spanish gunboat.
They found that the Jorge Juan's fore
castle had been entirely nipped away
by the Topeka's four-inch shells and
that her fore and mizzenmasts and
flagstaff were carried off. 1t is thought
the Spaniards scuttled her before
abandoning the vessel. The harbor
was found to be well mined, and two
of the mines exploded.
Nipc harbor is 30 miles long and 10
miles wide. 1t is surrounded by noun
tains and is admirably adapted as a
base for any campaign. The Topeka
sailed for Key West after the fight and
on her way passed the monitors
Terror and Puritan and gunboat Mont
gomery, heading for Nipe where they
were to rendezvous.

Surrender of Spanish Outside of santiago


The honor of receiving the surrender
of the Spanish garrisons of eastern
Cuba outside Of Santiago has been
given to Lieut.. Miley, of Gen. Skaters
staff, who, with a troop of the Second
cavalry, mounted, under Capt. Brett,
will make the rounds of the entire
military district of Santiago dc Cuba
for the purpose of receiving the formal
surrender of the Spanish forces. He
goes first to San Luis, where there
are about 4, 500 of the enemy's troops;
there are 500 men at Cobre, !, 200 at
Catalina, $500 at Guantanamo and
$500 at Baracoa. To reach Baracoa,
Lieut.. Miley will be compelled to ride
straight across the island to the north
ern coast, led by Cuban guide. He
will ride under white flag, for protec-
ton, but Gen. Toral has sent members
of his staff ahead to notify the post
commanders of the terms of the sur
render.

a fire which started in Clecland's dry
goods store at Coopersville, destroyed
20 business places before it was placed

ness portion is now mass of ruins.
The loss is over $4,000, insurance
about $40.

Bombarded ManzaniIlo.

The following report of the bonn
bardment of Manzanillo, Cuba, has
been made by Commander Todd, of the
gunboat Wilmington: The vessels on
blockade duty in this vicinity, the Will
mington, Helena, Scorpion, Hist,
Hornet, Wampatuck and Osceola, ap-
preached the harbor of Manzanillo
from the westward. At 1880 the Will
mingten and Helena entered the north
ern channel toward the city, the
Scorpion and Osceola the mid
channel, and the Hist, Hornet and
Wampatucll the south channel, the
movements of the vessels being so
timed as to bring them within effective
range of the shipping at about the
same moment. Fire was opened on the
shipping, and after a deliberate fire
lasting about two and a half hours,
three Spanish transports, El Gloria,
Jose Garcia and La Purissima Concep-
cion, were burned and destroyed. The
Pontoon, which was the harbor guard
and storcship, probably for ammuni-
ton, was burned and blown up. Three
gunboats were destroyed. One other
was driven ashore and sunk and fifth
was driven ashore and is believed TO
have been disabled. No casualties oc-
Cured on board any of our vessels.
Great care was taken that as little
damage as possible should be done to
the city itself. The Spanish loss is be-
lieved to have been nearly 100 killed.

Most of the large guns defending
Santiago harbor are found To practi-
cally useless, but may be brought to

Gen. Linares. who commanded the
Spaniards in the first fight around San
tiago and who was wounded i'm the left
arm, has had to have his arm ampu-
tated and is now in serious condition.
The war department will utilize the
10000 Mauser rifles captured at San
tiago to replace the Springfield guns
with which the volunteers are now
armed. The Spaniards also surren-
dered 2,O00,O 900 rounds of ammunition.
Two more expeditions have sailed
from San Francisco for the Philip

First New York volunteers, Col. Bar
Der commanding, will be assigned for

Honolulu. Col. Barber is considered
an especially good officer for the post.
A Madrid dispatch quotes Senior
Gamazo, minister of public instruction

peace, honorable to the Spanish arms,

nothing to confirm his assertion, how
ever, and IL Is credited as merely an in
dication of personal orinion and hope.

A fact which is impressed more and
more every day upon the American Off
GERS and men at Santiago is the in
creasiug strained relations between the
Americans and the Cuban soldiers.
There is practically no communication
between the armies, and their relations
border on those of hostility rasher than
the relations between allies. After
Gen. Shafter announced his decision
not to let the Cuban junta enter the
city of Santiago, deep mutterings were
heard among Gen. Garcia's men, for
they had confidently counted upon
having Santiago turned over to them
to loot and plumber, as they had in sue
cession sacked Baiquiri. Siboney and
FL Caney. Gen. Shafter said: mo
Cuban will be allowed to enter the city
nor will any American soldier The
government of the city is matter for
the people to decide. When the Amer
lean army leaves it, presume it will
be turned over to you, but not until
then"
The Cuban soldiers now fully realize
that there is a rising sentiment against
them in the army. They hear nothing
but words of scorn from our men, as
they lug their bacon and bareback
into the woods Even our officers no
longer conceal their disgust, for the
Cubans have neither fought nor
worked. The Cubans refused point
blank to aid in building roads, and,
during the two days heavy fighting,
while they loitered in the rear. our
surgeons sought in vain to obtain
assistance from them, even to cut poles
for improvised filters for our wounded.
Hundreds of such instances are being
told around the campfres, and in some
quarters there is disposition to
prophesy an early collision between
our men and the Cubans.
Gen. Shafter sent an invitation to
Gen Garcia to attend the ceremony of
raising the American flag over San
tiago, but the Cuban general showed
his resentment by declining the invita-
ton, saying that he hated the Span
iards, and added that he did not want
to be where any of them were. Since
that time, the Cubans have remained
in their camp, eating American rations
and our troops have had no communi-
cation with them.

SAVED THE CROP.
The Danger Of Drought Around kali-peil
Has Been Averted.

Missoula. July ga letter received
from Kalispell to-day states that a con-
siderable fall of rain has saved the
grain crop in the valley there and that
ID now appears to be all right. For "A

was threatened with a drought. but II
is thought that the danger has been
averted.
In the valleys of Plains, FrenchtoWn

those valleys have largely planted hard
wheat and are assured of a good mar

have chung to the old soft wheat crop
and these will not find things coming
very fast their way i'm the fall. Il
mill men are urging upon the farmers
the Importance of stacking their grain
as soon as it is harvested this year.
Last season many of them left the
grain in the shock till threshing ami
lost much of their crops that way. II
