July rs, saying that Emilio Agui-
naldo, the insurgent leader, is go
ing to cause trouble here, and al
ready Admiral Dewey regards
him as an enemy rather than
friend. 1t has been evident for
some time that he has been jeal-
GUS of American power, as trans
port after transport landed Anne
rican soldiers. -s
While he has kept up a friendly
front, he has issued secret orders
to his men not to permit the Anne.
ricans to secure the necessary
horses and other equipments.
All this has been very annoying
to Admiral Dewey and the Anne
rican Generals, and General Mer-
rift, now that he has taken COM
mand in the field, will probably
find Aguinaldo a more formula
bic opponent than Captain-Gen
eral August.
Admiral Dewey has communi-
Gated this state of affairs to Wash
ington, though he is not at all
alarmed at the outlook.
The insurgent leader would not
dare to order an attack on the
American camps, because they
are protected by the guns of the
squadron, and it is not at all Ger,
tain that the other chiefs would
obey his commands. Even if
they should, General Merritt,
aided by the squadron, could
repel a combined assault from
both Aguinaldo and the Spani-
ards. The other insurgent chiefs
are chatting under Aguinaldo's
orders, and trouble is brewing in
his camp. His officers are offeud
ed by his assumption of dictator
ship, and the rank and file object
streuuously to the war taxes.
John Barrett, another Examiner
correspondent, gives the following
news from Manila on July %:
General August was preparing
for desperate resistance until he
heard that Camara was not com
ing with a fleet. Now he only
hopes that peace will come in time
to prevent his being compelled to
yield to force of the American
arms.
If not, when General Merritt
and Admiral Dewey send an ulti-
matum that they will attack Ma
Mia by land and sea unless il
surrenders without resistance
August will propose to capitulate
on these term:
The Spanish. troops to march
out with the honors of war.
The soldiers and military anG
civil officials to be granted parole
to return to Spain.
Protection to be assured to the
life and property of Spaniards.
Generals Green and Anderson
narrowly escaped being shot while
riding near Malate.
Dewey expects to take the cit,
without loss of life.
The Spanish officer who report,
ed SIMPSONS victory in Manil'
was treated as a traitor and threat
ened with death.
Four thousand Americans ar
camped within a mile of Manila
protected by artillery and tn
guns of the Boston and Callao
The rebels are firing shells int
the city from four guns on tn
south side.
