to the contrary are false. Dispatches
from Manila say that Aguinaldo is
doing splendid work. Monday of last
week he routed the Spaniards taking
400 prisoners, among them %" officers.
On the Wednesday following he took
so prisoners and four field pieces In
battle at a point between Cavite and
Manila.
On Thursday, when this dispatch left
Manila, he had cornered 150 Spaniards
in an old church at Cavite, and, not
caring to lombard, he was starving
them. He treats his prisoners well.
Four towns are now In possession Of
the rebels. 1t Is reported that the gov
ernors general Of the Philippines want
ed to surrender. but his officers prevail
ed u1bf him to hold out. The capital
of the province of Batanagas has been
taken by the insurgents, and the gov
ernor attempted to commit suicide. The
governor of Malabar is also prisoner
The insurgents from other provinces
are advancing on Manila.
A proclamation issued by Aguinaldo,
the insurgcnt chief, points to a desire
to set up native administration in the
Oil [hhiSiiNoh Pio'NS-

council, would hold the dictatorship
until the conquest of the Islands and
would then establish a republican as

that the lives and property of Euro
peans, Chinese and all Spanish non.
combatants are to be protected, and
that all excesses are to be avoided.
The Spaniards in the church in old
Cavite are still holding out, but the ad-
jacent town of linus has been cap
tured by the insurgents. This is an
important point at the back of Cavite
proper, and its possession by the rebels
Is a serious matter for the Spaniards.

will also afford an admirable base of
operations for further advance to-
ward the city.
1t has been found impossible to con-
ceal from the inhabitants of Manila the
fact that the insurgent successes have
cast deep gloom upon foreign resi-
dents, who are more anxious than ever
to get away. For the most part the
men remain, but the women and chill
dren have been sent to Cavite, where
they are safe under the Stars and
Stripes. The most friendly relations
exist between Admiral Dewey and the
consular representatives of the powers.

wnrships in the bay.

captured are sorry looking lot If
they are fair sample, they will be no
match for the American troops.

THE REPORTS IN LONDON.
Spanish Commander Reported Killed
and Reina Mercedes Sunk.

and Re1na mercedes SUNK.
London, June ga dispatch to The
Daily Mail from Cape Haytien says:
"The American victory at Santiago de
Cuba has cleared the way for the en-
trance Of Admiral Sampson and the de-
struction of the Spanish fleet. AS San
tiago's land defenses are reported weak,
1t is likely the city will yield to a Wig
orous attack. 1t is reported that the
commander of the Reina Mercedes, Sec
ond In command in the Spanish fleet
under Cervera. was killed during the
engagement The combined american
ana Tinsurgent forces are entrenched
near Daiquiri. with guns mounted In
preparation for further movement.
From Spanish sources comes report
that q party of Americans landed at
Aguadores, but whether 1t is true or
what tha-pssaft-was is'not known here"
London papers are inclined to doubt the
account of the destruction and silenc-
ing Of the forts at Santiago, but they
believe the bombardment was intended
10 draw the Spaniards' attention from
q landing somewhere, and that the
coming week or two will see exciting
events in Cuba. The sinking Of the
Reina Mercedes is regarded as prob
able, for it is known that her boilers
were defective, and that she had no
armored deck. The wounding or death
of Colonel Ordonez means serious loss
to Spain, Ordonez being or having been
her military expert, with an European
reputation, and the designer of the ord
nance bearing his name.

SIMPSONS REPORT.

S'iT ably Been Landed.

Though Marines Have Prob
w'i ably Been Landed.
Washington, June 8.-Shortly after
I o'clock last evening confirmation OF
the press dispatches concerning the
bombardment of the fortifications OF
Santiago reached the navy department.
1t came in the form Of cablegram
from Admiral Sampson, which was
made public in the following bulletin:
"Bombarded forts at Santiago 1880
to 10 a. m. today, June G. Silenced
works quickly without injury of any
kind, though within 1000 yards"
While the officials of the navy de-
partment declined to say definitely
whether the bulletin contained all tho
information given in Admiral Samp-
sons cablegram, there is reason to be-
lieve that it did not. The officials
refused to discuss the subject or to
vouchsafe further information than
was posted on the bulletin board.
Only one additional point was elicit
ed in questioning. That was that the
cablegram contained no information
about the landing of either land forces
or marines.
The information received from Ad-
mral Sampson was evidently quite
satisfactory to the naval authorities.
While they declined to discuss the
reasons for the probable consequences
of the bombardment they were thor
oughly satisfied with the results ac-
complished.
1t is pretty well understood that tho
bombardment was for the purpose Of
paving the way either for the. landing
of troops or actually to cover the land
ing of marines and the few troops pre-
sumably already there.
, Press dispatches received from
Spanish sources indicate that land
ing was effected either during or i'm
mediately after the bombardment.
This is regarded by naval authorities
as entirely reasonable. 1t is not be-
lieved that Admiral Sampson, after
having silenced the forts, would leave
them to be rehabilitated by the enemy.
1t is deemed likely that he landed a
sufficient force of marines to hold the
ground he had gained and to make
preparations for the landing of the
regular forces upon their arrival, If, in
Decd, some of them are not already
at hand.
