Urged to Keep the Philippines.

LONDON, June 9.-Delegations OF
London men representing some OF the
most important interests in the Philip
pines have called upon Ambassador
Hay to urge him to make representa-
tions to his government of their desire
that the United States retain perma-
nent possession of the Philippine Isl
ands. They are agreed with the belief
that with the guarantee of stable gov
eminent the Philippines would become
richer and even more desirable pos
session than Cuba. Should the islands
remain under Spanish sovereignty that
government, they say, might make
conditions burdensome for business men
who were on record as desiring
change and who had made
revelations about Spanish misrule.
They assert that under proper treat
ment the islanders, although consisting
of several different races, would be en-
tirely tractable. The greatest Difficult
ties the United States would encounter
in managing the islands would come
from the religious orders which had
been accustomed to squeeze the natives
and had accumulated much valuable
properly. The present insurrection
was as much an uprising against the
church as against the government. The
gold deposits of the Philippines are said
to be among the richest in the world
and under conditions favorable to the
development it is believed would sur
pass Australia and South Africa as q
gold country.

Rumors ofBlockade Running.

KEY WEST, June 9.-Persistent ru
mors, credited by some naval officers Of
high rank, are in circulation here to
the effect that three Spanish Warships
have succeeded in forcing their way in
to the harbor of Havana. One report
says that Spanish battleship and two
cruisers have entered the harbor.
KEY WEST, June 9.-Four suspicious
looking vessels, thought to be Spanish
warships, are or have been attempting
to elude the blockading squadron of
Havana and enter that port. When
last seen, on the night before last, they
ere in Nicholas Channel, about eighty
miles off Havana, and heading in the
direction of Havana. The commander
of a gunboat which followed the four
vessels says he is satisfied they were
Spanish warships either trying to get
into Havana or lying in wait for trans
ports. The affair, however, is involved
in doubt. The British cruiser Talbot
left Havana on Tuesday and she may
have been one of the vessels sighted by
the gunboat.

WAR NOTES.

A dispatch from Jacksonville, Fla,
states that General Shafter, with an
army of 10000 men, left Tampa yester
day for an invasion Of Cuba. They
will land near Santiago. The troops
are conveyed by the gunboats Annapo-
lis Castine and Helena.
The American troops who have
landed in the province of Santiago de
Cuba are encamped on high range of
hills overlooking the city of Santiago.
In their present position they are secur-
ed fir nm attack.
Late adVices from Santiago de Cuba
state that the Amer can officers are al.
most sure they have sunk the Spanish
torpedo boat destroyer Terror. The
SpaniardS admit that tie cruiser Reina
Mercedes has been sunk.
The New York Herald has the fol-
lowing dispat Ii from Wash )u:lIPor-
TO Rico WA come uoxt. NJ. that the
army for Santiago de Cuba has left the
United States the entire energy of the
government will be directed toward
getting the expedition to Porto Rico
away as soon as possible. Major-Gene-
raj Coppinger has been selected by the
authorities to be chief in command of
this army
A report has reached Hong Kong
that Manila has fallen. 1t is said to be
now occupied by the Philippine insur-
gents commanded by General Aguin-
aldo.
A dispatch from Cape Haytien, dated
at 6:l0 o'clock yesterday evening, says !:
1t is reported here that a great battle
has taken place at Caimanera, in the
bay of Guantanamo. At $50 yesterday
morning Tuesday, five ships of the
American squadron opened heavy
bombardment of the Notifications of the
town. There was perfect hail Of
bombs in the bay, striking and demol-
ishing many houses beyond the fortifi-
cations. On the Spanish side the artii-
lery replied vigorously, maintaining for
some time a stout resistance. The fire
from the warships, however, never
slackened for an instant. 1t was regu-
lar and carefully directed and great
majority of the shots proved effective.

their positions on the shore and retreat
to the town Of Caimanera proper. 1t is
supposed that later they fled from that
position also with the inhabitants.
The feeling is growing in army and
navy circles in Washington that the
war will be far from its ending with the
taking of Santiago and Cervera. There
are many army officers especially who
make the assertion Of their belief that
Havana will not be taken at Christmas.
The principal reasons for this belief are
hat the Spanish army is as yet unde.
feated and that the rainy season in all
the Spanish possessions which the
United States purposes invading is just
beginning. 1t is known that the Span
ish army has very poor opinion of the
American volunteers. This opinion is
shared largely by the government peo-
pie, though they are, perhaps, not go
confident.
Many writers on military subjects
say that, although the Spanish soIdie:
is i'll fed and i'll clothed, he is sincere
and full of fight and Injured to great
hardships and stern campaigns.
