Hong Kong. July According to pri-
vate letters from Cavite. dated June -,
the insurgents occupy the whole of Bull
ucan province. Occasional skirmishes
occur. The insurgents captured the
Spanish ship Behulin Kayabao Bay,
while she was landing five hundred
troops stubborn fight ensued in which
the Spanish commander, lieu
tenant colonel, was killed. The insur-
gents have captured the Governor of
BuIucan, together with his wife and
children.
Gen. Aguinaldo has placed under ar
rest the rebel leaders Artachio and San
dico, for having revealed the fact that
the steamer Pasig, recently seized by the
Hong Kong authorities. was laden with
arms for the insurgents. Sandico APP
piled TO Consul Williams and was lib
Grated. He is now on board the Nan
shan. 1t is feared that the incident will
cause split in the insurgent party,
Sandico being influential, and the only
insurgent capable of administration.
The insurgents fear that Gen. Agui-
naldo will shoot Artachio unless Admiral
Dewey interferes, as he is suspicious
that SandIco and Artachio intended ia
form an opposition party.
