VIII Not Hold Naval Maneuvers.

London, June 20.-It is announced
that Great Britain will not hold her
usual annual naval maneuvers this
year. which has caused speculation as
to the reason for this step. In some
quarters 1t is said it is due to lack of
coal. owing to the Welsh strike. But
in other quarters it is believed that Inn
portant events are in sight. The OIL
cias of the British admiralty decline to
give their reasons for abandoning the
maneuvers, but they say 1t is not be-
cause of lack of coal, as ample supplies
of fuel were secured previous to the
strike of the miners in Wales

TROOPS AT MANILA.
Captain General Augusti, Wife and Fam
ily Held as Hostages.

London. June 20.-Special dispatches
from Shanghai say the American troops
have arrived at Manila. Latest advices
from Manila, via Hong Kong, say Cap
tain General Augusti has resigned and
has been succeeded by his second in
command, General Basilio Davilo. The
rebels propose to sign proclamation
of independence on June 20. Special
dispatches from Hong Kong confirm the
report from Manila that former Cap
tain General Augustisewife and family
are held as hostages at Cavite.
Advices from Madrid agree that this
statement together with the report that
the rebels are attacking the walled city,
has caused intense depression. A spe-
cial dispatch from Madrid says that,
according to dispatch just received
there from Hong Kong, four warships
carving the flag of the Philippine in
surgents have appeared in Manila bay
ard attacked the city from the sea in
combination with the insurgent forces
on the island.

so FEAR OF CADIz FLEET.
Washington Authorities DO Not Think 1t
VIII Cause Trouble.


Washington, June 20.-No fear Of the
Cadiz fleet disturbs naval or military
plans for the occupation of Manila, nor
will it, say the war strategists. hasten
any preparation or cause a single sol
dier more 10 be added TO the force sent
to the Philippines. The powerful Ca
diz feet" is no longer the scarecrow to
the navy. 1t was before definite steps
were taken to get reliable information
of it's strength and condition. The fleet
is not a match for Admiral Dewey's
squadron and Will be less after the ad-
miral has added the monitors and the
Charleston, now on the way TO join him.
Nobody i'm authority believes the Ca
diz feet will go TO Manila. The fact that
the minister of marine was aboard
when it passed into the Mediterranean
through Gibraltar straits leads to the
conclusion here that nothing more seri-
Gus than maneuvering in the Mediter-
ranean to appease local criticism and
answer charges of inactivity is expect
ed. The state department has the most
reliable means of securing prompt in
formation concerning the Cadiz fleets

Oueep Regent May Abdicate.

New York, June 20.-A Madrid dis
patch to The Herald says the news con-
cerning the abdication of the queen re-
gent of Spain is only half-heartedly
denied by the Spanish press. The queen
regent is depressed by Spain's situation
and the Spanish peoples lack of sympa-
thy for her, and has about made up her
mind to abdicate her rights and title
as regent in favor of the Infanta lsa-
bella. sister of the late king. The prin-
cess Is beloved throughout the kingdom.
The queen regent, on the advice of the
ministers, postponed her plan for abdi-
eating at once, but has declared she Will
do so when the time is more opportune.

Pepin, Wis, June 20.-The family of
Thomas Seldom. a farmer living two
miles northeast of this place, came here
to attend the reunion Of the G. A. r.,
leaving their daughter Mary, 16 years

found the house a smoldering ruin, and
investigation disclosed the charred re-

There was S400 in the house, $2S5 in
gold and the rest in silver and paper.

Yankee Chasos a Gunboat.

The Yankee has arrived and Captain
Brownson reported that on Monday last.
while off Cienfuegos, Spanish gunboat
came out to meet the Yankee, evidently
mistaking her for a merchant vessel.
The Spaniard, however. son saw his
mistake, turned tail and opened fire,
which was hotly returned by the YAM
kee. The latter chased the gunboat
until the Spaniards took refuge in the
harbor, whose forts opened fire on the
American vessel. Thereupon the YAM
kee engaged the eastern and western
batteries.
One Landsmen Injured.
Seeing no chance of catching the
gunboat the Yankee withdrew. Dur
ing the engagement a Spanish shell
burst over the Yankee and a falling
fragment struck a landsman named
Kennedy, formerly an insurance clerk
in New York city, inficting a severe
flesh wound on his right shoulder. He
is expected to recover. The Spanish
gunboat chased by the Yankee was of
about 500 tons and 200 feet long. The
