to the attitude of the employers. They
are disposed to stand out for COM

ing. Last night Gov. johnson re-
ceived a message from the sheriff that
a mob was assembling. and asked for
troops to defend the Jail. The gov

militia and sent them TO Wetumpka
on a special train. Before they
reached there. however, the mob Sc
cured the prisoners five in number. and

The destruction and death at the west
ern batteries must have been appalling
Many of the guns had been mounted
during the last two days. From this it
is inferred that Admiral Cervera had
given up all hope of eXtricating himself
from the trap in which he is caught.
and had removed the guns from some of
his ships to strengthen the land de-
fenses. Admiral Sampson is highly
gratified with the results of the bonn
bardment. He thinks the western bat
teries practically demolished. As some
of the guns on the eastern batteries did
not fire he thinks it possible they were
only dummies.
The only regret expressed is that

MIAsHINGTON, June Il. - The
w navy department has received
the following from Admiral Dewey,
under date of June II: There is
little change in the situation since my
telegram of June 3. The insurgents
continue hostiities and have practi-
cally surrounded Manila. They have
taken $500 prisoners, whom they
treat most humanely. They do not
intend to take the city at the present
time. Twelve merchant vessels are
anchored in the bay with refugees on

New York, June 1.-THE Journal S
Hong Kong special says the most Sc
we're and important battle since
Dewey's annihilation of the Spanish
fleet has occurred ut Manila. One
thousand insurgents attacked 1000
Spaniards, intlicting heavy losses and
almost forcing an entrance to the
city. The success of the insurgents
was wonderful. The Spaniards taken
prisoners in two weeks campaign
aggregate 5000, including 1000 regu-
lars, among them Gems. Garcia and
Cordoba; also the governors of the
provinces of Cavitc, Balucan and Ba-
taau. A million rounds of ammuni-
ton were seized in the fortified
cathedral of old Cavite.

Looking for News Very Soon.

Signs, However, That the Oiiicials Are
Looking for News Very soon.
Washington, June 11.-In the way OF
yesterday. No word came from Samp-
sen at Santiago or from Dewey at Ma
Mia. This lack Of news from the re-
spectiye seats OF war gave rise to no
|. apprehension. The officials are resting
secure in the BELIEF that the marines at
Guantanamo can easily maintain them
selves until the troops arrive and the
worst than can be feared at Manila is
not harm to Dewey. but to the Span
iards in the city. The officials in the
war department do not give out any
specific information as to when General
Shafter win land in Cuba, but from
certain signs of restlessness exhibited
by them it is evident they would not
be surprised 10 have some very impor-
| tant news at any tine, now. There was
an exhibition Of feverish activity at the
war department. SO pronounced as to
attract attention even in these stirring
times.
1t was apparent that renewed efforts
were making to complete the equip
ment of the troops already gathered at
tie concentration points, and that
preparations are in progress to move
| number of troops. So far. however. it
! is stated that no orders have gone out
| for the actual movement and what has
been and is being done in that direction
| Is merely prepar atory. If General Miles,
| as is thought to be probable. recon-
| mends a further concentration of troops
| on the southern seaboard the new camp
| at Fernandina, Fla, will be made ready
| for the reception Of the additional
| troops. The officials have been fore
| handed as to this camp, profiting by the
| experience gathered in the establish
mept Of the two great camps at Chiclsa-
mauga and Camp Alger.
| The navy department has sent to the
battleship Massachusetts a complete
new breech mechanism for one of the
big 13-inch guns of that ship. This was
| due to a report reaching the depart
ment about a week ago that the breech
| of one of the guns was out of order.
| The new mechanism will be delivered
| in a day or two and can he readily sub
| stituted for the old breech. The con-
| dition OF this 13-inch gun gave rise to
| rumors that the Massachusetts had suf-
| fered rather severely during the first
| action off Santiago. and that two Of the
| big guns were disabled and a gunner
| killed. There was no basis for the
rurnor beyond the disordered breech
mechanism referred 10.
