West Virginia to the Front.

The ordering of fifteen more sregi-
ments of volunteers mChickamau-
ga Park to Tampa, our own First
West Virginia regiment being among
them, by the way, means that soon
the volunteers will be in the thick of
the campaign. Other reinforcements
for Skaters army are already being
seat to Santiago, and it is thought
that the volunteer force at Chickamau-
ga may see service in the invasion to
be made at other points after they
have become seasoned at Tampa.
The invasion of Porto Rico and the
assault upon Havana, as soon as the
naval fleet are relieved from the San
tiago situation, will doubtless be
pushed without unnecessary delay,
for the government has undoubtedly
entered upon vigorous prosecution
of the war, with the resolve to bring
Il to an end as soon as possible.

MADRID, June 29.-The government
has received dispatch from Captain
General August, dated from Manila on
June %, in which he says in part:
"The situation is still as grave.
continue to maintain my position inside
the line of blockhouses, but the enemy
is increasing in numbers, as the rebels
occupy the provinces which are sur
rendering. Torrential rains are inun-
dating the intrenehments, rendering
the work of defence difficult. The
numbers of sick among the troops are
increasing and makes the situation very
distressing and causing increased deser-
tions of the native soldiers.
''It is estimated that the insurgents
number about 10000 armed with rifles
and about 100000 armed with swords,
etc.
''Aguinaldo has summoned me to sur
render, but | have treated his proposals
with disdain, for / am resolved to main
tain the sovereignty of Spain and the
honor OF the flag to the last extremity.
Il have over 1000 sick and 200
wounded.
1.-The citadel has been invaded by the
suburban inhabitants, who have aban-
doned their homes owing to the bar
barity of the rebels. These inhabitants
constitute an embarrassment. aggrayat-
ing the situation, in view of the bonn
bardment, which, however, is not
seriously apprehended for the moment :"
Captain General Augustus family is
still in the hands of the insurgents.
General Pena, with 1000 soldiers, has
surrendered. His soldiers, most of
whom are natives, joined the insur-
gents. A majority of the detachments
in the island of Luzon have surrendered,
owing to their lack of food, though
some succeeded in escaping.
Numerous Spaniards, including the
governors Of Batanga, Laguna and Bull
acan, have taken refuge at Cavite.

where Generals Garcia and Castillo

said he would probably return to the
