Playa del Este cuba. Aug. News has been
received here to-day from General CaXto

reTort Is that General Garcia has been in n
heavy fight with Spanlrds who were trying
to effect a juncturc with the main body Of
Spanish regulars at Holguin.
These Spaniards were probably the force that
evacuated Nipe Bay after the recent naval bonn
hardment \ large body ~ Cuban reinforce

preston Is that he defeated the Spanards In
this engagement. or. at least. held his own at
Mayari.
The Cuban dispatch says that two cannon had
already been taken from the enemy. and that
the Spanish cavalry had been defeated. what
ever that may mean.
General Garcia had moved toward Hogun

GENERAL MILES LIKELY TO ACHIEVE
AN ALMOST BLOODLESS CONQUEST
OF THE ISLAND.

Washington. Aug 2.-Some reports which have
been received from Porto Rico, but which for
political reasons cannot be made public have
given great satisfaction 10 the officials or the
War Department. since they go to show that the

tBY CABLE TO THE TRIBUyRl
London. Aug. 2.-Madrd rumors to the effect
that the final treaty Of peace will be negotiated
in London after the premnaries have been
arranged In Washington cannot be confirmed
here. No ntimations have been received to
that effect at the American Embassy
Apart from the inconvenience OF prolonged
diplomatic negotiations by a commission at this
season in London. there are practical reasons
for the selection Of some other capital as the
place :or conducting the negotiations. The
Spanish Government will naturally desire to
remove the Commissioners from the influence
OF English public opinion. which favors Ameri-
can retention Of the Philippines.
The American Government. II It decides to
give up those Islands under proper safeguards
for securing a humane and reformed govern
ment Will do wisely TO have the final negotia-
tions take place elsewhere.
The Embassy here ought not to be associated
with a diplomatic settlement which will be un-
popular in England.
There Is a conspicuous exception to-day to the
UNIFORM Prdctlce OF tne CusllsH press VI iiiiiii~
mizing the difficulties and risks OF permanent
American occupation Of the Philippines. This
is a column special from Manila in The Times"
throwing much light upon the situation there
and the real character OF Aguinaldo Ordinarily
the English press is content to be convinced Of
what 1t wants to believe. 1t desires the United
States to retain the Philippines as to keep
Germany out and to cooperate with the Eng
lsh in China. The press is generally confident
that the United States will have little trouble
in governing the islands. Some however.
think that Agunado will either have to
be bought up at a high price or killed on In
civil war. and that the Germans are ready
enough TO intrigue with him
The French are not likely to make any trou-
b,e for the Americans in the Philippines. but
the German Emperor might do so. and Aguinal-
do would be his natural ally. He will not be
disposed to keep quiet when he is smarting from
a rebuff. The Emperor Is only too anxious to d.
vert the attention Of his subjects to some fresh
field. l. n. F.

PROBABLY BE GREATLY
STRENGTHENED.

Washington. Aug. 2.-Although the War De-
partment officials will not admit that they have
any intention Of reinforcing further General
Merritt's forces at Cavitt there Is reason to be-
lcve that some Of the troops now In Eastern
camps who desire 10 see active service will
soon find the opportunity. unless the Govern
ment shall change 'ts present plans with re-
speCt to the Philippines. 1t is believed to be
necessary. even if the claim Of the United
States is limited to the military occupation and
government Of the territory on the shores Of
the bay Of Manila. to furnish to General Mcr-
ritt larger force than he has now at his COM
mand
1t is realized that twenty thousand soldiers

thority OF the United States and protect the in

must be remembered that the bay OF Manila

INSURGENTS SATISFIED,


NEW York, April 19.--The follow
ing statement on the Congressional
Cuban resolutions was given out today
at the Office Of the Cuban .Junta:
"The resolutions are tantimount to
a recognition of the Cuba republic.
The declaration is that the people of
Cuba ara free and independent. The
Cuban people acknowledge allegiance
only to the republic of Cuba, which
they have established and maintained
by force Of arms. The only object of
the insurrection was the independence
of Cuba. This Is provided for by the
resolutions. @ Es s,
"Cubsns asked that before interven-
tion there should be recognition of in
dependence. This was aso provided
for by the resolutions. Their desire to
run their own & g3vernment, free from
coercion, is provided for by the fourth
paragraph of the resolutions.
"Under these circumstances the de-
mand made by the United States that
Spain at once evacuate the island and
the threat. that in the event of her re-
fusal, the land and naval forces of the
United States will be used to compel
her evacuation, certainly merits the
deepest gratitude on the part of Gu
bans. Should force be necessary on
the part Of the United States, there
WILDE the most complete cooperation
by the Cuban government and its
army.
"I'racticed pilots will be placed i'm
mediately at the service Of the United
States, and in every way will. Cubans
aid in expelling the common enemy.
To the patriotism of the American
people and the American press do
Cubans owe debt of deepest gratitude
and for the confidence which the
American people have in them they
hope to prove their worthiness.
"rhe steadfastness with. which they
have pursued their ideal for inde-
pendence, and the organization which
they haveehowR in their fight against
Spain, are sufficient proof that they
will be able TO maintain their inde-
pendence while peace will be their only
object for the future.
