SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May H-The
cruiser Charleston is ready to depart for
Manila. 1t is announced at the navy pay
office that the cruiser will leave early to-
morrow morning. Everything is in readi-
ness for the trip to Manila as the stores
from the East have been received and put
aboard. The Charleston will stop at Hon-
olulu for coal. 1t is expected that the trip
to the Philippines will occupy about twenty
days. Three hundred sailors and marines
to reinforce Admiral Dewey's fleet go
with the vessel. 1t is unoficially stated
that the City of Pekin will start from this
city next Thursday and she will carry 1000
soldiers and 900 tons of ammunition. The
Chinese crew of the City of Pekin struck
this morning and notified their superiors
that they would not take the trip to Manila,
being afraid of torture at the hands of the
Spaniards. An American crew will be orr
ganized and will be ready to go with the
ship when sailing orders have been re-
ceived.

TO RESCUE AMERICANS
WAR SHIP UNCAs GONE TO CUBA ON
A DELICATE MISSION.
Two Spaniards to BE Exchanged, if
Who Are Held as Spies.

KEY WEST, Fla, May A.-The United
States war ship Uncas, Captain Branard
left here soon after midnight last night for
Cuba to rescue two Americans captured by
the Spaniards on Friday. Correspondent
knight, of the London Times, is aboard
the Uncas, and the plan is to send him
ashore under flag of truce to negotiate
for the surrender of the prisoners in ex-
change for two Spanish captives taken on
one of the prizes. The Americans were
carried over by dispatch boat on. Friday
and were sent ashore in a small boat. effect
ing landing near Mariel. AS the small
boat approached the land there was no sign
of life ashore, and it was thought the men
were safe.
Dispatches received yesterday told Of the
capture of the men by Spanish soldiery al
most Immediately after their landing, and
of their imprisonment in Fort Cabanas as
spies. Negotiations with Washington were
promptly begun, and orders dispatching the
Uncas on her mission of rescue came last
night from Secretary Long to Commodore
Remey.

City Can Hold Out for Months by
Drawing Supplies from the Country.
NEW YORK, May 14.--A dispatch to the
Herald from Manila. via Hong-Kong, says;
1.-The American victory at Cavite and the
complete collapse Of the Spanish navy
have struck terror into Manila. The block
ade continues but the public Is calm. 10
thinks that the European powers have in-
tervened to prevent the bombardment OF
Manila. The country is quiet. The natives
will not actively or openly favor the Amer
leans unless assured that Spanish rule ia
over forever for fear of reprisals. The de-
sire to break the Spanish rule is general
throughout the country and the American
invasion is popular as means to gaining
this end. But the native mind is only in-
f1uenced by an exhibition of strength. They
think the blockade is weak and that this Is
due to foreign Intervention. Manila can
draw supplies from the interior and hold
out for months. The troops at Manila con-
sist of about 10000 regulars and 1900 yol-
unteers. The latter have no Instructions
and their fire is wild and dangerous TO the
troops. The artillery has no machine gi:as.
Public opinion which first favored ADJ
miral Montejo, has now changed. The
Spaniards freely criticise his defense OF
Cavite. They say the Americans cama
within range of his guns and that his arr
tillery was good enough to do great. dam-
age to the American feet If well handled.
The captain general ordered Admiral Mon
teio to anchor his fleet off Manila and units

Montejo replied that his place was to de-
fend the arsenal of Cavite The defense ox
Manila without fleet was impossible"

$205,0OO MUNCIE FIRE
HALF OF BALL BROS FINISHED
YEARS PRODUCT BURNED.
Incendiaries Fighting the Big Glass
Fruit-Jar WOrks-SecOnd Fire
in Brief Time.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MUNCIE, Ind, May 15.-At II o'clock to-
night a warehouse at Ball Brothers big
fruit jar glass works was destroyed by fire
with great loss as there was thousand car
loads of fruit jars in the building. The re-
built factory No. 2, was saved by heavy
down pour of rain.
Later returns from the fire, at 2 o'clock
this morning, indicate a heavy loss to the
Ball Brothers, reaching $2S50OO. This esti-
mate is giT en- by member of the firm. 1t
is learned that the monster warehouse
burned is 400 feet long. twenty feet wide and
thirty feet high. and it contained fully one
half of the entire product of the year, in
cluding the best ware turned out by the
factory, and intended to be held for best
prices. The insurance has recently run out
on number OF the policies and the estimate
given out is that only about $4,000 insurance
will be available to cover the loss. There
was no fire about the building, not even a
gas jet. and the only conclusion is that the
building was burned by incendiaries. On
this point members OF the firm are mum,
on account of the trouble they have had
with the men, following the putting in OF
machine glass blowers to take the places of
the men. This is the second severe loss
since the new machines were put in opera
ton.

THE SPANISH LOSSES.
Three Hundred Men Were Killed and
Six Hundred wounded.

Six Hundred wounded.
MADRID, May 14-S a MA dispatch to
the Liberal from Manila, dated May 9, ana
sent by special steamer to Hong-Kong,
says: 1.-THE arsenal has surrendered and
Cavite has been evacuated by our troops.
The Spanish losses were 800 men killed ana
coo men wounded. The enemy suffered con-.
siderably, including an officer killed on tha
Olympia. The Baltimore was damaged. Our
shells did not burst, and all the enemys
shells burst.
Admiral Dewey has had a long confer
ence with the foreign consuls.
'The Yankees took and burned the
merchant ships. Coregidor island was be-
trayed
"A consultative assembly is discussing the
horrible situation created by hunger and
misery. We are isolated by the blockade
and are in fear of an immediate attack.
'Snce the cable was cut little new has
happened. The blockade continues. but
Admiral Dewey says he will not lombard
the town without his governments orders.
He also says that he hoped that general
rebellion will take place within four days
New bands are on foot at Pamanga."
The Manila dispatch to the Liberal also
says the Panay insurgents have been con-
quered and adds: Armed and uniformed
bands of insurgents have appeared in the
city Of Capiz The Gambols island ana
Lszan militia, it appears. is being organ
'zed for the defense of the provinces"
The reference to the Panay insurgents is
probably another version Of the official dis
patch received in Madrid on May via
Labuan and cabled to the Associated Press
announcing that the Spaniards had cap.
iured Panay the headquarters OF the
SS.iippine insurrection. The capture OF
Pansy was pronounced TO be a most inn
portant step toward the pacihcation OF the
Philippine islands.

suIts. Once Blanco is prevented from COM
,,,rnicatina with Spain, as we'll as Porto
Rico it is expected their encouragement
will set in and the campaign consequently
will have an earlier conclusion.
At a late hour tonight officials OF the
Navy Department stated that they had re-
ceived no information of Admiral SIMPSONS
fleet beyond the Associated Press dispatch
announcing it's arrival at Puerto Plata.
Puerto Plata is a small seaport on the north
coast of Santo Domingo. The French line
cable runs through this point and also runs
down to Curacao. where the Spaniards were
sighted. Admiral Sampson probably will
put in at Cape Haitien, and it is from there
that the first official report from him is ex-
pected From Curacao TO Puerto Plata is a
straight line distance about 500 miles, though
going through the Mano passage and cir
cling around the central part of the north
coast of Santo Domingo to Puerto Plata it
would probably be about 600 miles. This
indicates the stretch separating the two
Sampson has covered a distance of between
$50 and 800 miles. From Puerto Plata to
Havana, in which direction Admiral Samp
son is now going, is 76O miles. The Spanish
fleet is now approximately. based on a
straight-line calculation, about 100 miles
from Havana. to reach which, however, she
would have to go through the Windward
passage and risk a battle with SIMPSONS
feet
No official report has been received here
confirming the published statement that the
city and Notifications of San Juan had sur
rendered to Admiral Sampson, nor is any
expected, for the reason that the statement
is not given credence in official circles The
result of the engagement at San Juan, as
far as is indicated by official reports, was
not altogether satisfactory, inasmuch as
one of the principal objects of the expedi-
ton was the burning of the large quantity
of coal stored there for use of the Spanish
complish the destruction of the fortihca-
tions and the coal supply the admiral. il is
believed here, thought 1t prudent TO with
draw his fleet through fear of having one
or more of his vessels disabled pending the
more important contest with the Spanish
