Manila, Philippine Islands, June %,
viu Hong Kong, June s9.--The Span
iards claim to have driven the rebels
back, but really the position is un-
changed. The arrival of the American
troops is awsited, and they are expect
ed today. The Spanish sntposts have
prepared to retire promptly to the
walled citadel, and will probably make
only nominal resistance.
Five German warships are here. All
food is held at famine prices. Two
thousand Spaniards are working on the
sand bag defenses outside of the mont
on the Celle de las Aguadas. The in
surgents are worrying the Spaniards,
but there is no advance, although des-
nltory firing goes OF at various points.
The insurgents are firing explosive
shells ut Santa Anna churches.
On June 30 the foreign warships sa-
luted the Spanish colors. 1t was be-
Geved that the bombardment had be-
gun, but the panic was soon qnelled.
\ French warship left the harbor after
salnting the Spanish colors.. The shore
batteries answered and this gave rise
to a false alarm of the arrival Of the
American troops.
The Spaniards believe that Great
Britain intends some SORT OF action. 1t
glssrepurted that they will burn all the
houses ct Malate to clear the ground,

possible. General Skaters orders are
to Send back to Tampa rs many of the

the United States. just what this is
to be and where it is to go could not
be aScertained.
The number of reinforcements
which are to be sent to Sllaftcr will be
an expedition nearly as formidable as
that which left Tampa two weeks ago.
After Santiago has been reduced and
captured by the American forces there
will have an ample number to leave IN

hold the place, while the remainder
may be used for the Puerto Rico Y

The officials at the war department.
declined yesterday to indicate where
the fifteen regiments which General
brooke, commanding at Chicknmauga,
has been requested to have IN readi-
ness to move, would be sent. Fcrnan-
dina, Fla. has been put in readiness
for a large number Of men. and it may
be the Chicalnauga men will go there.
AT Miami, further down the coast,
there are about six regiments, while
ut Tampa, on the gulf coast, there are
approximately $4,000 men. 1t is pos
sible that the department may follow
recommendations made to it and keep
the men at Chickamauga until the
transports are ready to receive them
at the embarking point. The move
ment of the troops in the south ne
cessitated some changes in the make
up of several of the corps. The di-
vision commanded by Brigadier Gen
eral Schwan, at Mobile, and sent to
Miami, has been assigned to the Sew
cnth corps, while General Henry's di-
vision of the Seventh corps has been
made a part of the Fourth corps.
