North and the South by the war and the
sympathy for the United States from

conveyed the general impression that the
military situation stands substantially un-
changed, with no lighting and no surrend-

moment was being directed to the health
and hygienic condition of the troops.
1t was stated that the fears that the
enemy might secretly draw off some of
their forces to the mountains in the north
of Santiago had not been realized, so far
as the last reports disclosed. The city
was still surrounded, it was said, and
there appeared to be no apprehension on

reports are entirely satisfactory up to

SITUATION IN DETAIL.
Insurgents Give Spaniards
No Rest = Aguinaldo's
Small Influence.
IBy Gable to The Associated Press.l

MANILA. July Z, 1888. via Hong Kong,
July 13, 1S98.-The insurgents yesterday
made vigorous attacks on the Spaniards
from all sides with little results. They
shelled the Spanish blockhouses and
trenches of Manila and captured the
Spanish guns at Santa MEGA.
There was a furious musketry fire all
night long at San Juan, Santa Ana, Paco
= and Pasayi, the Spanish replying with
artillery and musketry.
The insurgent artillery is not yet oper-
ating.
About four hundred native militia at
Santa Ana have Joined the insurgents.
The insurgents have rushed the Malate
entrenchments, pushing forward to the
walls of the fort, but they had to retire
at daylight. 1t is probable that both
sides lost one hundred men each.
The Americans and the insurgents are
acting independently, both conducting
their own operations and hoping to evolve
an agreement afterwards.
The extent and duration of General
Aguinaidos influence is uncertain; but it
is certain that the Mohammedans of the
South Archipelago ignore him and the
insurgents of the Isle of Luzon and
other regions are content to use Agui-
naldo until the Spaniards are expelled,
when there will be a state of chaos un-
less a strong force of Americans assumes
control of the Islands.
The secret Katipunan Society, which
was chiefly instrumental in organizing
the campaign, is not fitted, it is said, to
assist in administering the Government

KThe Americans are nostpaninp oDera-
tioes until they are fully prepared for
any<contingency
TIN natives are proving intractable.
Abdklt thirty thousand Americans are
expecAed here shortly, which would en-
able them to effectively control the whole
of the Philippine Islands.
In the meantime there are differences
between the Insurgent Chiefs and Aguin-
aldo. The latter is reported to be aware
that he cannot capture Manila without
the Americans; but majority of his
followers are confident that he can. In
any case, they consider 1t desirable that
he should attain a position which would
enable him TO make the best terms pos
sible With the Americans. Accordingly
the Insurgents have abandoned their at
titufe of inaction and have arranged fol-
ft@ther revolts on the part Of the hither-
n loyal natives.
The Americans are drilling persistently
and promise to make splendid fighters
