San Francisco, July 1.-The steam
ship Acapulco, from Panama and way
ports, arrived today. The Umatilla,
from Puget Sound and British Column
bia, also reached quarantine and the
City of Panama is expected from
Central America this evening. 1t is
understood that these three vessels
will be taken by the government for
transport purposes.
The City of PUebla and the Peru
are rapidly being fitted up and the de-
parture of the fourth fleet to Manila
is expected to be set for July 10.
The idea of sending each ship off as
it is ready without waiting for a fleet.
has not been favorably considered and
the next expedition will be similar to
those that have preceded 1t, although
the term fleet is variable and may
include anything from three to Is
vessels. Major General f. S. Otis has
announced no definite plans in regard
to his own departure. According to
present indications he will not go until
the final fleet sails through the Golden
Gate.
One hundred and four recruits for
batteries a and D of the Utah artillery
arrived at Camp Merritt today They
are in charge of Lieutenant Wedg-
wood and are not equipped. The men
were received at the ferry by the ladies

INsURGENT FEUDs.
Aguinaldo Places An Influential
Leader Under Arrest.

Honglzong, July According to pri-
vate letters from Cavite, dated June
q. the insurgents occupy the whole of
Bulucan province. Occasional skir-
mishes occur. The insurgents captured
the Spanish ship Bohul in Kayabao
bay, while she was landing 500 troops,
A stubborn fight occurred, in which the
Spanish commander, a lieutenant colo
mel, was killed. The insurgents have
captured the governor of Bulucan, to-
gether with his wife and children.
General Aguinaldo placed under ar
rest the rebel leaders Artachio and San
dico for having revealed the fact that
the steamer Pasig, recently seized by
the Hongkong authorities, was laden
with arms for the insurgents. San
dice appealed to Consul Williams and
was liberated. He is now on board the
Nanshan. 1t is feared that the incident
will cause split in the insurgent party,
Sandico being influential and the only
insurgent leader capable of administra-
ton. The insurgents fear that General
Aguinaldo will shoot Artachio unless
Admiral Dewey interferes, as he is sus-
picious that Sandico intended to form
an opposition party.

EVERYTHING HARMONIOUS.
England and Japan Approve the Phil

London, July IA representative of
General Aguinaldo, the leader of the
Philippine insurgents, who served with
him during the last insurrection, and
who is now in London, is quoted in
an interview as saying that before
Aguinaldo left HongkOnS he promised
Rear Admiral Dewey Chen COmmodore)
not tC enter Manila until the arrival
of the American troops. Aguinaldo's
representative ADDS that he has just
received a dispatch from Cavite saying
republic has been proclaimed there by
Aguinaldo under the protection of the
United States, ard 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
foreign affairs, who declared that all
Germany wanted was the existing i'm
port tariff would not be altered by a
republic being established in the Phil
ippines, or at least that preference
should be given to any other nation.

DISPATCH FROM DEWEY.
Has Not Committed the Government
to Any Policy.

Washington, July 1.-While not pro
lix in his utterances, Admiral Dewey
loses no opportunity to keep the navy
department informed of the state of
affairs at Manila. a dispatch came
from him today dated Cavite, June q,
reporting that conditions are practically
unchanged, but not recording the ar
rival of his reinforcements. He had
some other matters of interest TO COM
municate, but they were not of a char
acter that could be properly made pub
lie at this stage. For one thing it can
be stated that Admiral Dewey has been
particular to avoid committing mis- gov
eminent to any particular line of ac-
ton respecting the future of the Phil
ippines or to do anything that would
embarass General Merritt in framing
a policy to meet the needs of the case
when he arrives. He has made no Off
cial pledges TO the insurgent leader,
although he has not hesitated to openly
praise his good politics and his accom-
plishments

, Berlin, July 1.-The following dis
patch has been received from Hong
kong: According to trustworthy in
telligence from Manila, the Spanish
governor general has made arrange
ments for a meeting with Admiral
Deidrichs Commander of the German
naval forces in the far east. in order
to propose in behalf of the Spanish
government that Manila should be
handed into the provisional charge of
a neutral commander. The proposal
was rejected by Admiral Deidrichs, in
view of the American blockade.
The Manila news, via Hongkong, re-
ferring to the action of Admiral Died
richs, may be looked upon as being
a semi-official note, as it was issued by
the semi-official news agency here.

Firms S35O,OoO Each.

Philippine Wrongs.

London. July 2.-The Hongkong CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says: To
friend of United States Consul Wildman.
General Aguinaldo has declared: The

their support, we shall be able to obtain
and hold our full rights and shall be re-
spected by all the European powers. The
Americans are redressing Cuban wrongs
and will do the same for US in the Philip
pines"
The relations between General Aguin-
aldo and Admiral Dewey are perfectly
amicable. Two German war vessels have
gone to Marbles to coal and may pro-
coed to some other port.
The Berlin correspondent of the Stand
ard says: A dispatch 80 the Cologne Ga
zette from Hongkong declares that Gen
eral Aguinaldo flushed with victory, in
sists upon the absolute independence of
the Philippines. Another report alleges
that there is an agreement between the
United States and Japan to prevent the
interference of Russia and Germany in
the Philippines.

as thought it would be rewarded with sue

Sporting Life Comes High

At the London Bankruptcy Court be-
lore MFR. Registrar Llnklater, the public
examination was held oi the Earl OF
Rosslyn, who stat ed, in reply to Mr. A..
II. Wildly, official receiver, that he had
since 1891 been residing either with
relatives or at hotels and clubs. He
succeeded to the titles and estates in
1890, on the death of his father, and
believed that the net value was then
about ( rs 900 per annum. The estates
were encumbered to the extent OF S3o,-
600 and W ere also subject 10 a jOinture
OF S7,ooo per annum in favor Of the
Dowager Lady Rosslyn. The estates
were now encumbereo to the extent of
6G4o,ooo. He had. in fact, increased
the incumbrance by about 6IIo, 900 since
he came into the estate The money
which he had so raised had gone in
money lenders interest, gambling and
personal extravaganza. The Official Re
ceiver: "Hsve you lost heavily at horse
racing and cards'" He said that he had .
II was not the fact that he had lost as
much as 10000 on a single race, OF
that he had lost twice that much on two
races. He might have lost Gao, 900 on
racing in one season, He believed that
his expenditure until 1898 had amounted
to about J62s,ooo per annum. His friends
then came to his assistance, but he was
required to execute deed vesting bis
property in trustees. He had since very
materially reduced.his expenditure, and
had been dependent mainly upon vol.

Credit to Whom Credit is Due,

1t was a glorious victory and we
do well to rejoice in it. But let us
rejoice understandIngly, knowing
whom we have to thank for it
Everybody is calling it Samp-
sons victory. From the wording
OF his despatch the prevalent illu-
sion on this point seems to be
shared by Admiral Sampson him
self. The truth is that the triumph
is distinctly Schley's. No doubt
Sampson would have done as well
If the opportunity had come in his
way,bvt, as it happened, it did not.
He was seven miles east Of Moro
Castle when Cervera shot out Of
the harbor and headed west. twas
Schley who gave the signal for
battle, who sent despatch boat to
notify the Commander-in.C Chief
that the game was aioot, and who
raced alongside OF the fleeing
Spaniards without waiting to hear
from his messenger. 1t was he
that stayed by the Cristobal Colon,
along with the Oregon, to the end
Of her sixty mile fight, and his
ship suffered the only casualties
experienced by the American feet.
He was in the battle and in COM
mand from beginning to end.
Sampson arrived barely in time to
throw few shots when the fight
was over.
! Moreover it was Schley who
originally bottled up Cervera in
Santiago harbor. He ran the
Spaniards to earth, kept guard
over them until Sampson joined
him, and now has exterminated
them as a fighting force. Schley
is as much the hero OF Santiago a.
Dewey is of Manila. We are glaC
to see that Representative Berry
Of Kentucky, has recognized thil
fact by introducing resolutions
