But the insurgents are extremely anxious to conciliate the neutrals and therefore refrain from causing horrible privation.
 The insurgents have never employed cannon before Manila, but they are now bringing up sixty guns. with the inten. tion Of making az simultaneous rush upon the Spanish intrenchments at Santa Mesa, Santa Ana and Malete thus rendering the other positions of the Spaniards untenable and by a sin gle coup drive the Spaniards inside the citadel with minimum of destruction to nom -combatants and property. If is expected that 1t will take a week to bring the guns along, as they have to make a detour through difficult part of the country and it is not desira ble to hurry.
 The American troops are expected here momentarily. and then probably there will be d quick finish of the war.
 A river steah1er from Bulacan to-day ran the blockade, bringing 200 refugees, women and Children.
 The Spaniards are employing gangs of natives, armed with axes and ma chetes, to destroy the woods in the out skirts of Mania, under Spanish over seers with horsswhips.

think of 1t the more marvellous 1t seems that we are alive. It was about 3 o'clock in the morn ing when the Merrimac entered the narrow channel and steamed under the guns of Morro. The stiffness of death prevailed. It was so dark we could scarcely see the headland.
 We had planned to drop our starboard anchor at a certain point to the right of the channel, reverse our engine and then swing the Merrirnac around, sinking her directly across the channel. This plan was adhered 10, but circumstances rendered lis execution impossible. When the Merrimac poked her nose into the channel our troubles commenced. The deadly silence was broken by the wash of a

The Merrimac's rudder was carried away by this fire. That IS why the collier was not sunk across the channel.
 We did not discover the loss of the rudder until Murphy cast the anchor. We then found that the Merrimac would not answer her helm, and were compelled to make the best of the situation. The run up the channel was very exciting. The picket boat had given the alarm, and in a mo- ment the guns Of the Vizcaya and iAlmirante Oquendo and of the

General Pando has not reached San tiago. The Spaniards have only am munition for three days. All the women and children who intended to leave Santiago before the lombard ment have already left. It is estimated that 5000 persons passed through our lines yesterday.
 Our ships are in great need of sur geons, nurses and supplies. The sani- tary conditions are worse since the bat tie on account of decomposing bodies. Many bodies are floating near the wrecks of Admiral Cervera's ships. The cry of the Spanish naval prisoners is: "Let Cuba go and give us peace!"
 The Venezuelan Consul says he has positive information that General Li- mares and General Toral are at odds. General Toral wants to surrender. In this he has the support of the Arch bishop of Santiago, who has lost some of his recent warlike spirit. General Linares positively refuses.
 4 Spanish officer, speaking to one of our men during an armistice, said Li- mares would not surrender without the consent of Madrid, and hinted that the Americans should demand the surren- der of Santiago from Sagasta instead of Linares.
 All the foreign attaches wonder how our ships were SO little damaged by the ships of Admiral Cervera- Official re- ports of the killed and wounded in Fri days fight are not yet in, but estimates in hospital here place the number at 1900.

 MANILA, June 30, via l-ongkong, l. July 7.-General Monet's troops. num- bering some 800, have surrendered, giv- ing up their arms to the rebels. The captives were taken to Cavite. General Monet, as I cabled, escaped with Au- gusti's family, who had passport from General Aguinaldo. He was disguised as a woman, leaving his troops starv- ing. An indignation meeting was held by the Spaniards, who went to the Governor General to obtain an expla- nation as to why General Monet came here without his troops and demanding that he should be sent back. Owing to the fact that the Spaniards are excit- able Monet's position is dangerous The water supply of the city is nearly ex- hausted. The pumps have not been working for three days.

Tactics of the Insurgent Leader Can not Interfere With Uncle Sam's

NEW YORK, July IA Washington special to the Herald says: Secretary Long is confident that no trouble will result from Aguinaldo's proclamation. It is admitted, however, that it would have been much better fer all parties had Aguinaldo not organized repub- lie when he undoubtedly knows that General Merritt, the official military governor of the United States, is now on his way to Manila.
 The President and his Cabinet are trying to devise means to prevent con- plications arising with the natives from such action, but they are determined to retain control of the Philippines, at least until the end of the war. and Aguinaldo's action will not be allowed to affect this course.
 Now that a detachment of 2500 Amer jeans are at hand it is expected that Aguinaldo will be anxious to make short work of the Spaniards, and will attempt to force Rear Admiral Dewey's hand. But that official will not act un-

Caucus

A Caucus.
 Thursday afternoon meeting of business men of Nogales was held at the town clerks office to discuss the approaching municipal election and decide upon the line of action therein. About thirty of the leading men of the town were invited, and fully half of those invited were present.
 Colonel W. P. Harlow was elected chairman of the meeting and MT. P B. Zeimet, secretary. Expressions of opinion were invited from various gentlemen present, and several ad- dressed the house. The general ex- pression was that the people should have full and free voice in nomina' tion of tickets to be submitted for their suffrages at the approaching election. and it was decided to issue a call for mass convention, which call appears elsewhere. As soon as the call was prepared it was quickly signed by all present, and later in the day several other prominent business men and taxpayers affixed their sigma lures. A committee was appointed to secure a proper place of meeting for the mass convention, funds were raised to pay for the same. and the meeting adjourned.
 Since the meeting was held there have been received from all quarters numerous expressions of approval of the course adopted. One prominent business man is quoted as saying that fin Nogales the time has passed for the successful operation of dark lan- tern politics and coyote methods. Let every man come out openly, de- clare himself and let the people know right where he stands and for what he stands"

Chant of the Gallery Gods

The heaven we inhabit is away above tho
stars
We mean the stars that glimmer on the
stage;
It smells of beer and onions and Of garlic
and cigars,
And the atmosphere would make an an
gel rage.
It's called the family circle cause there
are no families there,
The seats are high. but still the price Is
low;
And here we sit from seven till quarter
to eleven
And we never miss moment of the show.
The melodrama suits us best-it's always
worth the price,
Though comedy is good enough at times.
But for steady diet give us villainy and
riot,
And a carnival of accidents and crimes:
A rough and ready hero, with lusty.

whose fist is ever ready for a blow;
Then give us rain and thunder, when the
villain steals the plumber
And the gallery will guarantee "go."
And when you talk of mother. and tho
little country home,"
And swear you'll pay the mortgage on
the farm,
There are some of us who pray, In q silent
sort of way,
That the villain may not do you any

And we do the best we can to be like the
