by Maj. Gen. Merritt when he reaches
the Philippines. A complete under
standing Of the nature of the agree
ment that exists between Admiral
Dewey and Chief Aguinaldo seems to
be lacking here, but, from the fact
that some Of the press reports state
that the insurgent leader is receiving
the surrender of Spanish troops, and
has proclaimed himself dictator pro
tempore, Gen. Merritt's functions as
military governor will be very limited.

SPANIARDS ARE CONQUERED
CHIEF AGUINALD0, OF THE
PHILIPPINES, A FIGHTER
Has Won Every Battle In Which He
Has Engaged-Gave a Spanish
Officer Three Hours in Which to
Prepare for a Fight-Has Cap
tured Over Two Thousand Pris-
Oners.

LONDON. June S.-The Hong Kong
correspondent Of the Daily Mail says:
United States Consul Wildeman has
received the following letter from
Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader in the
Philippines: Before opening an at
tack upon any town I summon the
Spanish officer in command to surren-
der In one case one Of the officers so
summoned replied by stating that the
garrison was not quite ready to fight,
and he asked If I would defer the at
tack for three hours. I compiled
'' The first enga cement we had with
the Spanish occurred on May %, when
we captured nineteen, with their arms
and ammunition. Toward evening we
hemmed them in. One hundred and
ninety casedores and seventy loyal ma
tives participated. We lost four killed.
The spaniards lost sixteen killed, in
cluding one officer. The result of this
engagement was that the fighting be-
came general throughout the province
Of Cavtte. After four days fighting
1000 Spaniards were taken prisoners,
including many officers, and Gen. Leo
pold, Of Pana, governor of Cavite, who
handed me his sword, revolver and gold
belt, and formal letter of surren-
der"
VICTORIOUS AGUINALDO.
An American naval captain writes as
follows: I'm my opinion, the rebels
have undergone a radical change since
the advent of Aguinaldo. The Span
iards have lost all, during the time he
has been here, and, If our people do
not hurry, there won't be any Spanish
army left at the end Of the fight. The
American ships have taken no part
in the fighting. Neither boats nor men
have been landed, and statements to
the contrary are false. Dispatches
from Manila say that Aguinaldo Is do
ing splendid work. Monday Of last
week he routed the Spaniards, taking
400 prisoners, among them twenty
eight officers. On the Wednesday fol-
lowing, he took fifty prisoners and four
field pieces in battle at point be-
tween Cavite and Manila. On Thurs
day, when this dispatch left Manila,
he had cornered $50 Spaniards in an
old church at CaVite, and, not caring
to lombard, he was starving them.
He treats his prisoners well. Four
towns are now in the possession Of the
rebels.
It Is reported that the governor gen.
eral Of the Philippines wanted to sur
render, but his officers prevailed upon
him to hold out. The capital Of the
province of Batangas has been taken
by the insurgents, and the governor
attempted to commit suicide. The gov
ernor Of Malabar Is also a prisoner.
The insurgents Of the other provinces
are advancing on Manila.
The Manila railroad company has re-
ceived the following dispatch from it's
superintendent at Manila: 1.-The line
has been cut in the first section, the
rails have been removed and there is
no means of communication between
the second and third section. Traffic
Is suspended. The rebels are surround
ing Manila, and an attack is expected
any day."

SAN FRANCISCO, June Rear Ad-

The torpedo boat Rowan will soon be
