NEW ARMY CORPS
TO Re Commanded by Gen. Merritt,
and Assigned to the Philippines.

TO Re Comm anded by Gen. Merritt
and Assigned to the Philippines.
Washington, June 22-An additional
army corps, to be known as the
Eighth, will be formed 1t will be
composed of troops assigned to the
Philippines and will be in command of
Maj. Gen. Merritt. The creation of
the Eighth corps is by direction of the
president, and the authority is con-
ferred on Gen. Merritt to transfer the
command of the corps to the next in
rank at such time as he may deem it
expedient to do so as a matter of mil
itary judgment in order that he may
be left free to devote his attention to
important matters Of government con-
nected with the Philippines. There is
reason to believe that the creation of
new corps is the following out of an
idea, suggested by, Gen. Merritt him
self. Upon his arrival at the Philip
pines Gen. Merritt will transfer the
active command Of the Eighth corps
to Maj. Gen. p. s.. Otis, now his sec
ond in command. AS military govern
or of the Philippines Gen. Merritt will
have so many duties Of an admins:
trative character to perform that it.
would be impracticable for him to re-.
tain the active command of the troops
on the islands. Il

According to latest mail summaries,
which are not refuted by later cables.
there is not a country in Europe that
does not hold out the prospect of a.
good wheat return, says San Francisco
Commercial News. In England farm
ers feel confident, and in France a very
large and early yield is looked for. All
the smaller producers make favorable
reports, and even Russia, regarding
which so many adverse reports and
surmises have been industriously and
persistently launched, comes to the fore
with prospect that is particularly dis
couraging to the extremists, who have
all along drawn and insisted upon the
least favorable conclusions. The Ar
gentine is shipping freely, and there is
no prospect of an early shrinkage in
exports. India has not been releasing
wheat on SO large scale lately. but
there can be no question as to the ca
pacity of that country if crop reports
were anywhere near the facts. .-. ~.

British foreign-trade returns are not
as satisfactory as those Of, our own
country, and English journals COM
!menting on this fact do not hesitate to
say that the lack of demand from this
country is being seriously noticed. The
export trade of the United Kingdom in
March this year was valued at EGO, 1884,
900, decrease of 3.75 per cent. from
sMarch year ago. For the first three
months of the present year the exports
were more than f1,500,000 smaller than
in 1897 and &3,600,0OO smaller than in
1896. The import trade, on the other
hand, shows an increase, the higher
price CT cereals being not unimpor-
tant factor in this latter result. The
total imports for the first quarter ag-
gregate f119,Os9,0Oo, an increase of e1,-
100000 as compared with last year, said
to have been due almost entirely to
the higher price Of wheat and -four
imports.

it was reported there then that Capt.
Nonel, coming southwark with a
mixed company Of troops from Bala-
can, thirty miles north of Manila,
found the railway line blocked and
was taken by insurgents in ambush
Fierce fighting ensued and was carried
on for three days, during which Capt.
Nonel was killed. The NATIVE troops
joined the insurgents and the Span

escaped when the insurgents captured
Marathon. At Seapote, also, whole
regiment revolted at a critical mo-

forces with the result that insurgent
rifemen are frequently found to have
passed the sentries and to be creeping
along under cover and firing upon the

there is NO perceptible movement,
though there is

Nothing is visible among the trees.
The insurgents, who fire sparingly,
draw abundant Spanish volleys, espe-
cially at night. The Spaniards inces-
sanity squander tons of ammunition
into the shadows of the thicket, ap-
parently in the hope of quickly ex-
hausting their stock and being in a po-
sition to surrender honorably after a
hopeless fight. In the meantime the
Spanish commanders have been or
dered to burn the villages outside the
towns so as to deprive the enemy of
shelter, and hundreds of peaceful ma
tives are homeless. There was a great
feast at Cavite on June II when

CONSPIRACY ON FOOT.

Dominican RevO1utiG nists Are En-

All is quiet, according to the latest adj

Havana officials Go to kingston
Taking Their Geld With Them.
Kingston, JAM, June 22.-Many Of
the passengers of the French liner La
fayette, which arrived yesterday from
Vera Cruz, are Havana officials who
escaped from the doomed city with
boarded wealth, regardless either of
the desperate state of the government
or the starving people. The principal
passenger is Maj. Jover, a fellow coun-
tlyman and friend of Gen. Weyler.
He belongs to the commissariate corps
of the Spanish army, and brings gold
said to amount to half million dol
lars He is married to sister of DR..

Third Philippine Expedition May
Get Away Thursday.

Third Philippine Expedition May
Get Away Thursday.
San Francisco, June 22-The third
expedition to Manila will sail next
Thursday or Friday at the latest. This
announcement was made at Gen. Mer-
ritt's headquarters. The officers who
are supervising the preparations on
board the vessels appear to differ with
the steamship companies concerning
the time needed to complete the alter
atoms, and have reported to Gen. Mer-
rift that the transports ought to- be
ready to receive the soldiers by Thurs
day. Supplies and coal are NOW being
placed on board the transports. AS
vet Gen. Merritt has not made public
the time of his own departure, but it
is known among his officers that he is
exceedingly anxious to get away on
the next expedition and will do so un-
less the authorities at Washington in
terfere with his present plans. The
petition, under command of Brig. Gen.
Macarthur, are ready to start on short
notice and hope they will be aboard
by next Thursday.
The report has been frequently cir
culaleu around army headquarters
that Gen. Merritt will divert the
course Of the vessel in which he will
journey to the Philippines SO as to
touch at Hongkong before landing at
Manila. Gen. Merritt will make this
move in order to place himself in COM
munication with the authorities at
Washington before he commences op-
erations in the Philippines. Further
instructions will doubtless await him
at Hongkong, which is the only cable
point at which he can touch after
leaving this city.

CONSULTED GARCIA.

The Cuban General Has Confer
tnce With Admiral Sampson.
Off Santiago, via Kingston, June %.
Gen. Garcia and his personal staff
were picked up at Gen. Rabbits camp,
eighteen miles west Of Santiago and
brought to the flagship by the gunboat
Vixen. There the griZzled and wound
ed patriot had long consultation with
Admiral Sampson regarding the op-
erations for the investment of Santi-
ago and the cooperation of the Ameri-
can and Cuban troops. Gen. Garcia is
very enthusiastic. He says the Span
iards are starving and cannot hold out
long and that the war in the island
will end in a few months. Two regi-
ments Of troops will be landed at Gu
antanamo bay, which will be held as
base until Santiago falls There has
been no sign of Spanish troops in the
neighborhood of Camp McCalla for
several days. 1t is estimated that over
300 have been killed or wounded since
the landing. Fifty-eight bodies were
found yesterday. The Spaniards seem
satisfied that they cannot dislodge the
Americans and have withdrawn. The
upper bay is to be occupied immedi-
dtelJ. Lieut.. Delellduty, Win an eXpe-
dition, is nightly at work removing
mines from the river connecting the
upper and lower bays. When this is
clear the ships will move up the chan
mel and take the town of Ciamanera,
whose forts were demolished by the
Texas last Friday. The auxiliary
cruiser St. Louis cut the Kingston
cable last night within a mile Of Ell
Moro. Last night the dynamit cruiser
Vesuvius discharged three more shells.

Off Santiago de Cuba, via Kingston,
JAM, June Fl. - A careful inspection
Of the Notifications along the crest Of
the hills defending Santiago since the
bombardment Tuesday morning, show
the American gunners spread wreck
and ruin everywhere. Some of the
batteries were demolished beyond re-
pair. The vultures, which circled Oh
level wings over the hills as thick as.
swallows around chimney for hours
after the firing ceased furnish grue-
some. evidence of the fatality among.
the Spanish soldiers. Hundreds Of
troops could be seen from the ships
digging in mounds of earth piled up
by the explosion of the projectiles
from the heavy guns for the bodies
while their heads were famed by the
black scavangers of the battlefield.
The hill tops seemed literally blown
away. The most significant feature,
was Moro castle. The saffron-colored
flag Of Spain was half-masted for
hours. The significance of this is not
known. It is not customary to half
mast flags, but possibly some
Spanish Leader Was Killed
by the heavy fire of our guns, though,

the flag was half-masted as a notifica-
ton to the Americans that Lieut.. Hob
son and his brave men were dead. If
such is the case they must have been.
Wantonly murdered. The Spaniardss
| may ascribe their death to- the bonn
bardment, but not a shot struck Moro
castle. Neither Admiral Sampson nor
Commodore Schley believe Lieut.. Hob

| There was evident decentralization
| among the Spanish troops during the,
bombardment. Officers could be seen,
with drawn swords driving the men,

not be forced to stay so long as our

Blew Up One of the Ships III
in the harbor. It was the most deadly
| and destructive bombardment of the
war thus far. Scarcely a shot from
the big guns of the squadron went
astray. The aim of our gunners was.
superb, and not only were the coast
forts annihilated, but the batteries on
Cayo Smith, up the harbor, were de-
stroyed. Had all the ships used
smokeless powder as did the New Or
leans, there would remain no signs of
guns or Notifications to indicate that
there had ever been any defenses
there. There were no casualties in the
fleet, although the ships held fixed po-
sitions, as if inviting the Spaniards to
fire upon them.
The Western squadron got into line
and began firing before the eastern one
did, and the effect of the shots could
be plainly seen. The Spanish gunners
at the batteries could be noted and a
quick fire was returned, but only for a
brief time did they withstand the ter
rible assault of the fleet.

New York, June %. The Herald
has the following from it's correspon-
dent at Port Antonio, Jamaica:
Advices received here late this after
noon announce the arrival off Santiago
of the first division of the American
army of invasion under command of
Mai. Gen. William r. Shafter. =.
No attempt was made during the
day, according ito the report, to land
the American troops. Gen. Shafter,
my information is, soon after his ar
rival had a conference with Admiral
Sampson. They discussed at length
the information obtained by Admiral
SIMPSONS scouts as to the most avail
able landing 'places in the vicinity of
Santiago, and sent further scouting
parties along the coast. In to-day's
parties were representatives of the
army, assigned to Tduty by Shafter.
They inspected the points considered
by Admiral Sampson to be most adj
vantageous, and the commanders Of
the army and navy speedily will de-
eide where
To Land the Troops.
Tremendous enthusiasm was awak-
ened among the men with Admiral
.Sampson's feet by the arrival of the
American troops. They gave cheer af-
ter cheer, the report says, and their en-
thusiasm met with an equally hearty
response from the 'troopships. Repeat
ed delays in the departure of the army
from Tampa had made the men with
the fleet impatient, and they awaited
the coming of their allies with great
eagerness. For more than ten days
they had practically nothing to do,
aside from preventeing the escape of
Admiral Cervera's fleet from the har-
Dor. Officers and men of the feet
have done all the damage possible pre-
paratory to landing the troops, and
were anxious for more active warfare.
From an early hour on Sunday morn
ing every vessel in Admiral Simpsons
feet was on the lookout for the trans.
ports. The admiral had been advised
from Washington that the troopships
would probably join his fleet some
time dsTring the day, but no sign Of
The Invading Army
had been seen when the sun went
down. 1t was known here. early this
morning that the Americans were
nearing Santiago, however, the news
having been brought by Capt. List, of
the Ethelwood, who arrived from Phil
adelphia at Z o'clock. The enemy has
been working for two weeks to con-
centrate a strong force in the vicinity,
and Spanish troops have been sum-
moned from various parts of Eastern
Cuba. Gen. Linares must meet Gen.
Skaters army with smaller force
than he anticipated, owing to the ne
cessity of leaving several thousand
troops to guard Guantanamo. Now
that the marines at Camp McCalla
have become firmly entrenched there
the Spaniards must divide their forces
to defend both cities. If the regulars
are able to keep in good health as the
marines at McCalla you may expect
to hear of a speedy development in the
situation. I am told that the men un-
der Gen. Shafter, despite their, experl.
ence of thirteen days in close quarters
aboard the transports, are in good
health. They are Eager to get at the
Spaniards and stirring scenes are GER
tain to mark their landing.

If We remember rightly, declared that
the south would welcome northerners
into the confederacy with bloody hands
to hospitable graves. It was a cruel
declaration, and it seems strange. now
that it was uttered by a brother with
regard to brothers; but war is war.
But if Weyler gets back into Cuba the
Cubans will probably translate it into
