Chicago, July 24-The following dis
patch to the Record Is from Cavife,

the newly formed American camp
near Malate. There IL confronts the
last Spanish outpost which blocks the
entrance TO Manila from the south
and which has long resisted the on
slaughts of the insurgents The re-
manning troops OF the last detach-
ment will be taken from the trans
ports as rapidly as possible to posi-
tons around Manila preparatory to
concerted attack on the city by
Admiral Dewey's heet and the Ameri-
can land forces
Since the news was received here
OF the destruction of Admiral Cerve-
ra's fleet AT Santiago and of the re-
turn OF Admiral Camara's ships 10
Spain the present time has been con-
sidered best for n movement on Ma
Mia to compel It's surrender. Confer
ences have been held by Admiral
Dewey with Generals Anderson and
Greene, and Il plan has been outlined
for the capture and occupation of the
city which has the approval of those
commanders. Recent visits OF the
British consul 10 the flagship OlyIn-
pia Indicate that a final demand for
the surrender of the Spanish garrison
Is contemplated. the British consul
acting as mediator between the Amer
leans and the Spanish authorities.
Most of the troops now in camp at
Cavite will be advanced at once to
the front to take part in the important
work In hand.
Dispatches from Washington are ex-
pected Tomorrow, and these are likely
TO decide us to the program to be car
ried out.

ment and give battle In the bay to

There Is great activity among the
insurgents; and II is evident that Gen

take Manila before the Americans

crease very greatly his claims for con-
sideration. In a battle at Malate on

fered n loss OF fifteen killed. The
Spanish soldiers made desperate

national firemen's tournament to be
held on the exposition grounds from

Prizes amounting TO $4,000 in value

Association. and a similar amount of
money WHY be expended by the emo

for the tournament. A building will be
put up for the daily contests in coup
