London, Sept. l3.-The Manila cor
respondent OF the Times, telegraphing
September 8. says: The insurgent con.
4trest of the island OF Luzon is rapidly
approaching completion. Recent au-
thentic reports announce the capture of
Successive Spanish positions, and at
present the rebels control every foot OF
ths Island except Manila, Cavite and a
small portion OF the province of Albain.
They hold over 1000 Spanish prisoners,
and have recently captured several
thousand rifles, some cannon, q large
quantity of ammunition, and several
armed stands. The Spaniards held out
valorously, but were fighting against
the inevitable.
II is undeniable that the action OF
the insurgents in pursuing the cam.
paign after an armistice was declared
has caused much useless suffering and
destruction of property, and has anni-
hilated their every claim to be eonsid-
cred in any respect as the allies of the
Americans.

dropped dead from fright. One woman,
who had been confined two weeks ago,
died while they were moving her from
a burning house. whilo another. suffer-
ing from typhoid fever, who had been
twice removed from residences which
were in the burning zone, did not sur
vive the shock.
SO extremely fierce were the flames
that apples on the trees on sides Of the
street opposite the burning houses were
roasted.
Three river steamers were destroyed,
the Edgar, Gladys and Bonaccord.
Every industry save the big Royal
City planning mills and the Cleve Cam
ming Company has been wiped out.
The Canadian Pacific railway station
and bridge across Fraser river were
also burned.
The fire started about midnight on
the river front, and was caused by q
spark from steamer. Fanned by a
fierce gale, the flames leaped with such
rapldity that within three hours 10
streets were abalaze. The fire was
first noticed at Brakeman & Kerr's
wharf, on Front street. From there it
spread down to the Canadian Pacific
railway depot and crossed the street
at that point. From there it went up
the street, taking in the other side OF
Front street, and COLUMBIA street, the
chief business thoroughiare Of the city.
Block after block caught fire, and in a
few hours there was nothing left Of
what had bcen the business portion OF
New Westminster.
The wind was blowing iuriously down
Fraser river towards the mouth. II it
had been blowing the other way the
whole of the Catholic church buildings,
convent and hospital and other struc-
lures, would have been burned.
This morning there was no water sup
ply for the use Of the burned-out citi-
zens. There was not a single butcher,
baker or provision shop that was not
destroyed. and there was only one small
hotel saved.
Some of the burned-o out people re-
tired in the early hours this morning
in the open air In front Of the school
house. They covered themselves with
blankets and lay down to sleep under
the sky.
Tho loss is roughly estimated at
81, 500, 900, and the insurance at s1,-

insurance company's vault was blown

MANILA EXPEDITION SAILS.
The Remaining Ships to Follow as
Soon as Possible.

The Remaining Ships to Follow as
Soon as Possible.
San Francisco, July 15.-The fourth Ma
nila expedition is under way. Shortly
after o'clock this afternoon, Maj. Gen.
Otis, from his flagship, the City of Puebla,
signalled the transport Peru to get under
way.
The signals were understood by The anx-
ous watchers on shore and by those who
had surrounded the two vessels in small
boats, and were received with great cheer
ing.
Long before dusk the last goodbyes had
been said to the departing vessels from
the decks of the tugboats, and the heavily
laden transports proceeded on their way
to Honolulu, where they will stop to par
ticipate in the annexation ceremonies and
to take on fresh provisions and refill their
coal bunkers.
Maj Gen. Otis and staff have their
headquarters on the City of Puebla, which
also carries the remaining companies of
the Fourteenth United States Infantry;
recruits of the First and Second BattaI-
ions of the Eighteenth and Twenty third
Regiments, enlisted men of the First
North Dakota. First Wyoming and First
Idaho medical officers and members of
the hospital corps, a total of 843 men.
The troops on the Peru consist of q
squadron of the Fourth United States
Cavalry, light batteries of the Sixth Unit
ed States Artillery, a detachment of the
Third United States Artillery. a detach-
ment of the signal corps under Capt Rus
sell, a detachment of volunteer medical
officers and members of the hospital corps,
about 800 men.
The last orders of Gen. Otis before leav-
ing were that the remaining transports
should sail as soon as possible, irrespective
of fleets or other expected vessels. The
Pennsylvania and City of Rio Janeiro are
both nearly ready and win probably be
prepared to sail by next Thursday

GERMANY,s COURSE NOT LIKED.
Causes Apprehension in omcial Cir
cIes at Washington.

Washington, July 15.-The attitude as
sumed by the German naval commanders
in the Philippines is without doubt
source of annoyance and apprehension to
our government.
The spirit of quibbling. as between the
insurgent forces in the Philippines attrib-
uted to the German government by its
own papers, is far from satisfactory to
government like ours, accustomed to deal
fairly, frankly and openly in international
issues, instead of adopting underhand
courses.
Still our government is satisfied that its
interests are safe in the hands of Admiral
Dewey, and is adhering 10 its original in
tention of allowing him free hand to
deal with the situation.
Until he himself asks for action on the
part of the government, it is not the pur
pose to make any representations on the
subject OF the Philippines to the German
government
Admiral Dewey's recent mail commune
cation to the navy department has given
the most generous recognition 70 all those
who participated in any way on board the
American ships during the battle of Ma

as to the Chinese who are serving in vari-
Gus minor capacities.
This recommendation, affecting a mat
ter of citizenship, was turned over by the
navy department to the state department,
where the following statement was made
to-day:
In further proof of the nobility of
character of Admiral Dewey is his recon-
mendation TO the United States govern
ment as to the Chinese servants and 9TH
er Chinese who were on the ships of his
squadron during the battle at Manila, and
who rendered most efficient service on
that occasion and behaved in a most eX-
emplary manner. He seems to think that
men who have battled for our country
should not be excluded from it. In re-
ferring to the Chinese he says that they
showed such courage and energy in the
face of the enemy that they are certainly
worth the treatment accorded citizens of
other countries ,Sho have not exposed
their lives for the country in which they
seek citizenship. He is decidedly in IA
vor of recognizing these brave and useful
Chinese in such a way as shall admit
them to the United States in case they de-
sire to enter it and become citizens of it"

sAGAsTA READY TO SURRENDER.
Pnves the Way by Putting Spain I'm
der Martial Law.

Madrid, July 15.-The Official Gazette
to-day publishes a royal decree temporar-
lily suspendlng throughout the Spanish PEE
ninsula tho rights OF individuals as guar
anteed by the constitution.
The decree adds that the government
will render an account to Parliament OF
the use they may make of this measure.
The publication of the decree Is gener-
ally accepted as being convincing proof
that Spain is now ready TO sue for peace
and that negotiations to that effect are
actually In progress.
The government wishes to have full
power to suppress any evidence Of dis
content or rebellion whenever they appear.
The Carlists are furious, and are sure
to attempt TO create trouble.
One minister expressed the conviction
that overtures for peace win be made
before Sunday, and there is reason to be-
lieve that France has offered her services
TO Spain and that she has drawn up con-
ditions for peace which offer basis for
negotiation.
Premier Sagasta Is quoted as saying that
Spain wants peace but That 1T must be
an honorable peace as Spain deserves.
"'rhe army" he added, "is anxious to
resist to the last, but the government
cannot consent to such a useless sacrifice.
Had we our fleet the situation would be
very different"
A decree of the captain general of Mad
rid which has been affixed to the walls
of this city, says decrees suspending the
constitutional guarantees throughout the
kingdom have been published and state
of war existing, It IS ordered tnat no
meetings take place without the previous
authorization Of the military authorities.
II IS also forbidden 10 publish without
previous authorization any writing, en-
cravings or designs whatever.
The decree concludes with specifying tho
punishment which will be meted out to
those who disregard the orders issued.

They were fearful lest the statistics

only % cases.
This was in marked contrast with the
reports for the previous twenty-four hours,
which showed a much greater spread and
with Surgeon Greenleafs statement that
the character of the disease is mid, leads
the official to hope that its ravages Will
be limited and the disease will be kept
within bond.

lows:
