ARRIVAL OF TRANSPORTS

MANILA, Philippine Islands, 3uly II, via

may decide to capture Manila before Cen
eral Merritt arrives here.
In view Of the possibility Of an early
peace and the news from Cuba, the insur-
gents are renewing their activity There
have been vigorous attacks and a slight
bombardment Oh the outskirts of the city,
to which the Spaniards replied with an ex-
travagant shooting.
The Spaniards now say they do not be-
lieve the reinforcements promised them will
ever reach here, and they despair of sue
cess. But they condemn the proposal to
retire to the citadel, which is utterly de-
fenseless, as such a step will merely invite
slaughter.
Therefore, they believe it would be better
to surrender. though fearing public CEN
sure. However, they will probably be COM
PEELED to surrender soon. as food is dan
gerously scarce. They may pretend to fight

ing Garcia in the dispatches from Santiago

NEW YORK. July PA Santiago special
to the Journal. dated July 20. says that
Gen Garcia has written a letter to Gen.
Shafter declaring that he is disgusted at
his treatment at the hands of the Amer
leans, and will therefore withdraw his
forces to the hills.
Among the thiugs of which Gen. Garcia
Complains is the failure of the American
commander to officially notify him of the
surrender Of the Spanish force under Cen
Toral, and ne is also incensed at the al
legged fact that he was not invited to be
present at the ceremony attending the for
NAL capitulation of Santiago.
Another grievance is the retention of the
Spanish civil authorities in the administra-
tion of their functions in Santiago.
For these reasons. Garcia declares, he
will no longer cooperate with the forces
under Gen. Skaters command, but will
act independently. as he did before the
American troops landed in Cuba.

part Of the public consider their pres

contract to labor may be refused ad-

inspectors, and had the cOachers not

only when the machine was away from

Kohn maintained that in one building
in Chicago, four gas making machines
had been placed without protest of any

The underwriters evidenced a deep
interest in the exhibition provided for
them, and a number praised the light
highly. meeting will be held on

ENGLISHMAN'S OPINION.
Hawaii Must Inevitably Be Under
American Influence,

LONDON, March 1S.The Government
Of Great Britain is surprised at the re-
port of the Senate Committee on For
elgn Relations which. after presenting
2 joint resolution for the annexation Of
Hawaii, sets forth that Great Britain
was plotting for the absorption of Ha-
wall
A high official Of the British Foreign
Office said today:
1T is unfortunate that the commit
tee has such an erroneous impression.
I cannot imagine upon what supposed
facts they base their report. It seems
improbable that the Senators would is
sue official statements on no other basis
than rumors and suspicious. As a mat
ter of fact, nothing is further from
Great Britain's intentions than to inter
fere in any way with the existing
regime in Hawaii. No steps in that
direction were ever contemplated. On
the contrary, her Majesty's Govern
ment has recognized that the United
States has the foremost interests in
Hawaii, and that it is natural and in
evitable that Hawaii should be under
American influence"
