NO CHANGE AT MANILA.
Neither Americans Nor Insurgents
Had Advanced Up to July 20.

HONG-KONG, Aug. 1.-The United
States transport Zafiro has arrived In these
waters and IS anchored outside the Lyce-
man pass. She reports that no American or
insurgent advances had been made on Ma
Mia UP to July 29. The remainder of the
third San Francisco expedition was ex-
pected to arrive at Cavite during the even
ing of July 20.
Letters received here from Cavite. dated
July 20, say General Merritt is completing
his preparations to attack Manila and that
otherwise there is nothing doing The block
ade is strictly maintained and no date has
been fixed for the attack, though it probably
will be made as soon as the remaining
American troops arrive. The troops from
San Francisco continue to enjoy good
health. The Spaniards. it is further an
nounced. have determined to hold out until
peace is proclaimed.
Philippine insurgents. who are domiciled
here, say the inhabitants of the islands are
confident that republic will be established
there
The Zafiro which is anchored in Chinese
waters, will enter this harbor tomorrow. in
order to stop the twenty-four hours allowed
by the neutrality laws.

General Augusti Almost Ready to Ca
nituInte to- Americana.

LONDON, Aug. "A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Hong-Kong, dated Aug l,
says: News has been received from Ma
Mia that the other day the American troops
went to the assistance of the rebels, who
had been expelled from their trenches by
the Spaniards. The latter retired before the
American advance. The rebels have been
shelling Manila from four guns on the
south side of the city.
Admiral Dewey has received word from
Captain General Augusti that he is willing
to surrender so soon as he can do SO hon.
orably. 1t is believed that he will only
make a show Of resistance. Dewey expects
to take the city without losing a single man.
Should Dewey and Merritt begin the attack
Augusu will propose to capitulate on these
terms: The Spanish troops to march out
with the honors of war; the soldiers and
officials to be permitted to return on parole
to Spain, and an assurance to be given that
the lives and property of Spaniards will be
protected from attack by rebels.

EXTRA SESSION NECESSARY.
Congress Must Provide for Armies of
Occupation and Also New LAWS.

Occupation and Also New Laws.
WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-The Post to-
morrow will say: President Mckinley will
call an extra session of both houses of Con-
gress as soon as Spain accepts the terms
OF peace offered by the United States. 1t
has always been understood that the Senate
would be convened as soon as the treaty
of peace was ready to be acted upon by that
body. The attention of the President has
been called, however, to a situation which
makes the assembling of the entire Con-
gress necessary. This situation can be ex-
planned in a few words.
Under the law which provides for the
raising Of the volunteer army, that army
goes out of existence as soon as the war
ceases. When this law was framed it was
not for a moment supposed that after the
war had ended there would be any neces-
sity of keeping the army intact. The devel-
opments Of the war make it very evident
that, instead of sending the army back to
civil life. fully 100000 men will continue to
be needed. 1t is the present intention to
distribute no less than $4,000 soldiers
throughout Cuba, with 30 900 in the Philip
pines and probably 10000 in Porto Rico.
Under the law as soon as hostilites cease
the volunteer army is dsbanded and the
lCSuldE army goes DdCk 10 It's peace IOOI-
ing, thus leaving only 20O0 men in the
service. This isea total far too small for
the work that will be required Consequent
ly, the aid of Congress will be needed to
frame new laws which will keep an ade-
quate army for garrison purposes.
In addition to this, laws must be passed
to meet the new requirements of govern
ment in the Philippines and Porto Rico.
President iG nat 70
Congress together during the hot weather
and it may be decided that the war is not
ended until the Senate has ratified the
treaty of peace. In this case Congress will
not meet until the first or middle of Sep
tember. 1t will take at least a month or
six weeks for the full details of the treaty
to be discussed and framed. The present
outlook is. however, for an extra session
at much earlier period, in the hope that
its work can be concluded before the fall
campaign has reached it's height"

And an Effort VIII Be Made to Pro-
tect the City from the Sayagery of
the Rebels If 1t CapituIates.
MERRITT HAS 10000 SOLDIERS
OTHERS ARE ON THE WAY, AND 5000
MORE WILL BE SENT SOON.
Captain General Augusti Reported to
BE willing to Surrender Whenever
He Can Do So HonorabIy.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1-Secretary Alger
and Secretary Long to-day conferred with
the President over the serious situation in
the Philippines. They received important
dispatches from General Merritt and Admi-
raj Dewey. Secretary Alger admitted the
significance of these dispatches, but de-
cllned to state their exact nature. 1t is
known, however, that General Merritt has
again stated that the situation in Manila
is very unsatisfactory and dangerous owing
to the attitude of the insurgents. In the
opinion of General Merritt the attitude of
the insurgents there is similar to that as
sumed by Garcia's Cubans on the question
of their right to enter and possess them
selves Of the city, although in this case the
insurgents are very much more formid-
able element being not only more numer-
Gus, but better armed and filled with the
arrogance of the numerous victories over
their Spanish foes. General Merritt, how
ever, indicates that he will do his utmost
to protect the citizens from the sayagery
of the insurgents, though his task is a
delicate and difficult one because of the fact
that he must, while fighting the Spaniards,
be ready at any moment to repel the insur
gents.
The general gave notice that he was about
to combine with Admiral Dewey in a joint
demand for the surrender OF the city to the
United States forces, thus forestallng the
insurgents. and this move may cause a rup-
ture. 1t is possible in view of the fact that
General Merritt's cablegram was sent from
Cavite last Thursday, that this movement
has been made already by the combined
American military and naval force, al
though there is some doubt about this on
account of statement from Merritt that
he may need all of his soldiers before at
tacking. Still, it is possible the demand
might be made without being Immediately
followed by an attack, which might be de-
ferred until all the troops have reached
Cavte. Up to the date of the report Gen.
Merritt had with him about 1900 soldiers.
So far seven expeditions have left San
Francisco carrying soldiers to the Philip
pines, and it is the intention to furnish Mer-
ritt at least 5000 men more than his pres
ent force. If he delays his attack until all
these have reached him, Manila will not
be taken in that way before September for
the last of the troops have not yet started
from San Francisco. Ii may be, however,
that the arrangement as to the Philippines
which, it is expected, will be included in the
peace treaty, will obviate the necessity for
further action on the part of the American
commanders.

May BE Sharp Fighting.

JUAN DIAZ, Sunday Afternoon, via
Ponce, July 81 p. M. via Galveston, Tex,
Aug. 1.-Colonel Hulings occupied this town
at dusk yesterday Saturday evening, amid
the acclaim of the people who paraded the
streets with an American flag made for the
occasion. The stars and stripes were
hoisted upon the town hall amid the vivas
of the population. Colonel Hulings issued a
proclamation saying that personal rights
and property would be respected. Deserters
from the Spanish volunteers are coming in
constantly.
1t is reported that General Opega is on
the way with a force of Spanish regulars
to concentrate upon Aibonito, northeast of
Juan Diaz, on the road to San Juan. There
may be some sharp fighting.

Cruiser Dixie Hurls Defiance at San
Juan's Chief Fort.

ST. THOMAS, d. w. l., Aug. l. - The
United States auxiliary cruiser Dixie, for
nSerly Ell Sud, left here Saturday morning
for Ponce. She secuted along the north
coast of Porto Rico, spoke the Prairie
Montgomery. Puritan, New Orleans and
four transports, overhauled an English
bark, and, passing in close to San Juan,
fired a defiant six-pounder, striking the
base of FL MORO. The Spaniards made no
reply. In the entrance to San Juan harbor
the Dixie saw two masts and chimney,
evidently of a steamer sunk by the Span
iards to block the passage.
The Dixie arrived at Ponce Saturday
evening, where she found the Columbia,
the Massachusetts. the Cincinnati, the
Gloucester and ten transports.
The armored cruiser New Orleans arrived
here yesterday Sunday, accompanied by
a collier. The latter remained off the har-
Dor. the New Orleans signaling her not to
enter. as the cruiser would not be permit
ted to take her coal. Later in the day the
collier proceeded westward.

Troops to Manila.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. lit was Of
ficially given out at army headquarters to-
day that another fleet of transports will
sail next Thursday. The steamers Lakme
and Charles Nelson will carry the troops
for Honolulu-the former the engineer corps
and the latter the first battalion of New
York volunteers. The Tacoma, towed ty
the tug Iroquois, will sail for Manila Thurs
day with the horses and mules and other
appliances. The transport Arizona will sail
next Monday or Tuesday at the latest,
carrying the Seventh California Regiment.
If the vessel sails Tuesday the regiment will
break camp and go aboard Monday The
Scandia will sail week from next Thurs
day, and will carry the recruits for the vari-
Gus regiments
1t is now definitely settled that Brigadier
General King will command the next expe-
dition. He will probably go on the Scandia
and act as head of that ship, as well as
commanding the expedition. Colonel Berry
will command the Arizona. All of the
troops here and in the vicinity will be sent
to the Philippines as rapidly as transports
can be secured and made ready.

PONCE. Porto Rico. July 81, 10 p m.,
via st. Thomas, D. w. l., Aug. 1-Colonel
Hulings, with ten companies of the Six
teenth Pennsylvania, has occupied Juan
Diaz, about eight miles northeast of Ponce,
on the road to San Juan. The American flag
was raised and greeted with great enthusi-
asm by the populace.

staff and was sent north with dispatches,
including it is understood, the full articles
of capitulation of Santiago. He had been
very much delayed on account of quaran-
tine regulations. He was accompanied by
his secretary, who had in charge the re-
ports from General Shafter, which by that
officers direction Colonel Astor was to hand
personally to Secretary Alger and no one
else. Colonel Astor went to New York to-
night to spend few days before returning
to the field It is rumored that he is to be
attached to General Miles's staff at Porto
Rico, but on this point he had nothing to
say
General Greely, chief signal officer, was
able to announce with great deal of graft
fication to-day that he was now in direct
cable communication with General Miless
headquarters at Ponce. Porto Rico. Here
tofore all messages from the general have
come via a dispatch boat to ST. Thomas and
thence by cable, involving a delay of from
twelve to twenty hours. When the Spanish
forces retreated from Ponce they destroyed
the cable instruments. General Greedy has
succeeded in getting the officials at St.
Thomas to send over new instruments and
thus communication was reopened. The
present cable runs from Ponce to ST.
Thomas, thence to Martinique and to
Kingston and SO by one of two routes to
New York The British officials, who control
the cable, are perfectly willing to transmit
cables for the United States government
over it, providing our forces are in possess
sion of the cable terminus, but they will not
allow their cables to be used If insurgents
are "cut in" at any intermediate point
Thus it happens that the same rule being
applied to the cable from Hong-Kong to
Manila has prevented Admiral Dewey from
using the cable to communicate with Hong
Kong, although he holds one end, which he
has cut. When he possesses Manila the
company will recognize his right to use the
cable. This rule has been adopted after very
careful consideration, as one demanded by
strict neutrality
