afterwards, carrying blankets, stores

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Hong Kong
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
"a delegation from the Philippine
junta has informed United States Con-
sui Wlldman here that certain officers
of the japanese cruisers Matsushima
and Takasaga, which have since gone
from Manila, had a conference with
the junta last Saturday. in the course
of which they asserted that they were
authorized by the Japanese government
to offer to supply Gen. Aguina1do with
arms and ammunition gratis, in the
event of America abandoning the Phil
fppines and the insurgents wishing to
fight for independence. The Junta did
not reply to the offer, and the Japanese
will repeat it to Gen. Aguinaldo on
their arrival at Manila
Gen. Merritt will defer his final
movement until the arrival of the Mo-
nadnock at Manila bay. AS he cannot
rely on the insurgents, he wishes to
have troops enough to police the city,
for it is feared there. will be trouble
with Aguinaldo.
