dents which arise
The Monterey, according to the de-
partment's advices, left Honolulu on
July l. 1t is believed in naval circles
that she will reach Manila by July 81.
The Monadnock will probably reach her
destination a few days later. With these
two monitors in Manila Bay Rear Ad-
miral Dewey will have a force much
superior to that of Germany and will
be able to follow up any threat he
makes in case of formal interference on
the part of Emperor Williams ships.
Within five days the authorities ex-
pect that the second army expedition
will reach Manila. I understand that
troops forming the second expedition
will land at Cavite and put themselves
in readiness to attack Manila just as
soon as Major General Merritt arrives
at his destination. 1t is expected he
will reach Manila Bay with the third
expedition about August /.

taken the initiative.
The Minister for War, General Cor
rea is quoted as saying in an interview
that he thought peace might be ar
ranged on the following terms
The United States and Spain to
agree to let the Cubans decide by a
plebiscite whether they desire indie
pendence or autonomy under the suzer-
ainty of Spain. The Governments to
agree to abide by. the result of the
plebiscite In the event of the Cubans
voting for independence the United
States to allow Spain nine months in
which to withdraw her army gradual
ly and dignifiedly, from Cuba as sol
diers should, after having fought like
heroes.
Continuing, the Minister for War
said: 1--WE ought to retain Porto Rico
at all costs, in order to be always near
Cuba, of which the Americans will be
able to despoil US in course of time,
and in order to more easily commun1-
cate with the South American repub-
lies, which daily display the greatest
enthusiasm for Spain.
LAS to the Philippine Islands, 1t is
certain we will retain them, even
though the Americans succeed in oc-
cupying Manila, of which place their
occupation will be most brief. An o1n-
cial dispatch announces that the rebel
chiefs and Americans will not always
agree, which is to SPANS advantage.
"The Government has formed
scheme which will not only assure
Spain the possession of the Philippine
Islands, but which will restore their
tranquility"
Premier Sagasta declares that neither
government in Cuba has interfered in
the negotiations for the surrender of
Santiago de Cuba. He adds that the
surrender came within the province of
General Toral and under his RESPONSE
bility, and the general simply an
nounced the garrison had capitulated.

HUNGER IN HAVANA.
PEOPLE ARE FLYING FROM THE
DOOMED CITY.
UTMOST MISERY PREVAILS.
Gen. Blanco Has Issued Despotic Orders
Regarding the Food supp1Y-Large
Quantities of Provisions Confls-
Gated and Distributed.

kingston, Jamaica, June 22.-Hunger
is stalking gaunt through Havana
streets, and before it are fleeing the
rich inhabitants.
Gorged officials. afraid to face mis-
cry themselves, have left the troops to
starve
Efforts are being made by merchants
Of the wealthy classes to provide for
the soldiers wants.
The steamship Adula, which arrived
here from Cienfuegos, brought ninety
eight passengers, the majority Of whom
are from Havana. They fled to escape
the privations of the doomed city.
Misery Of the worst kind prevails
among the lower classes. Their condi-
ton is such that Blanco himself had
to interfere to alleviate their suffering.
He issued an order to Gen. Arolas to
confiscate the stored up provisions in
the hands Of rich merchants and private
inhabitants for the wants Of the troops
and their sale at moderate prices to
the poorer people.
Inland towns have been deserted, ow-
ing to the lack Of food. Scarcely any
inhabitants remain in Guanabacoa
The Adula reports that the food con-
ditions in Cienfuegos are good. Very
little privatiOn exists there.

Between American and United States
Express Companies in This State.
A Madison telegram states that a
combination has been made by the
American and United States Express
companies, so that about July l all
their Offices in the state, with the ex-
ception of Milwaukee and La Crosse
will be consolidated.
The step is made simply as a matter
of economy and the same arrangement
will be carried out all over the country.
The two companies will still be com
petitors, but will have Office room to-
gether.
In each town where the two COM
panies are represented the Office of the
one doing the largest business during
the past year will be retained and
Route Agents James, Of the American,
and Fitzgerald, Of the United States,
are now at Madison to decide which
office shall be retained. One agent
will have charge Of the business OF both
companies.
The companies had similar ar
rangement several years ago, but it
fell through because of difference over
the division of business, but the officials
hope this time the combination will be
a success.
