The situation here is unchanged. The
are unable to take Manila
owing to the lack of field guns. They
could not take it even if Admiral Dewey
permitted, which he will not. The re-
port that the United States transports
from San Francisco had been sighted is
not correct. They are expected June
20. All foreigners are leaving in neu-
tral ships.
Desire to Become al American Colony.
Hongkong, June 2O-Thc U. S. trans
port Zafiro, just arrived here, brought
news from Manila harbor under the
date of June II, from which it appears
the insurgents now hold 1000 Spaniards
and 1000 natives as prisoners, together
with their arms. The Insurgents also
captured, on June IA, the town of Oa-
langa, place next in Importance to
Manila on the bay. Frequent fires
have occurred in Manila and Malatc.
The United States cruiser Baltimore
was to have left Manila on June II to
meet the United States cruiser Charles
ton and the transports from San Fran
cisco which the warship is conveying.
The latter were expected to reach the
northeastern most point of the island of
Luzon shortly afterward. The city
who attempted to desert
from the Spanish forces on June Is,
were arrested and shot General Aguin-
aldo, the insurgent leader, has informed
United States Consul Williams of the
of provisional government
merely for cohesive purposes and not-
fled him of the desire of the insurgents
that the Philippines desire to become an
American colony. The Spaniards sunk
the cruiser Cebu, so as to obstruct the
passage to Passig river. The Ameri-
cans at Manila say that apparently
friendly relations exist between the
French and German squadrons.
The British second-class cruiser Bona
ventura proceeded from Hongkong for
Manila yesterday and another British
is to follow. The British steam
er Esmeralda left here yesterday for
Manila to bring away refugees. The
British steamer Yuen Sang will leave
here today for the same purpose.
