from Cavite says: In case of the ex-
pected bombardment of Manila. the
area to which the Spanish may retire
will be limited to the American and in
surgent lines surrounding the city.
There may come the struggle, for the
and fortified hills and knobs for the
nnal struggle. It is known here that
every energy is bent within the city
to prepare II for the final struggle. The
people are exhorted by the clergy and
military authorities, and their hopes
are buoyed by false reports as to re-
lief from Spain and Spanish triumphs
In the West Indies and along the At
lantic coast. August is credited with
an assertion that he can muster $780,
600 troops. No one seriously believes
that he can muster 10000. The city
seems as nearly ready for the conflict
