THE MANILA SITUATION.

spaniards Beginning to Realize That Spain
Has Not Been Victorious
MANILA, July %, via Hong Kong,
Aug. 1.-The Spaniards are gradually
realizing that Spain has not been vic
torious, that the expected reinforce.
ments are not coming, and that the
contest is utterly hopeless. The in.
surgents are in overwhelming numbers
and the Spaniards can only obtain the
bare necessities of life.
Only fortnightago Spanish national
pride was rampant, but it is now merg.
ing into Indignation at Spain's feeble
ness and regret that they were born
Spaniards. While they will never sur
render without fight, the Spanish
officers will jump at the first honorable
opportunity to surrender. They fear
national disgrace too much to give in
without fight
Although the insurgents have re-
doubled their efforts, they have hitherto
been unable to capture the citadel. On
the other hand the Spaniards are not
able to re.establish their suzerainty.
Under the circumstances, it seems
evident that somebody must interfere
in the name of humanity.
