NO. CAUSE FOR ALARM
 AT THEIR NON-ARRIVAL
First Philippine Expedition Prob ably Delayed by the Charles
 toms Stop at Guahan.

NEW YORK, July 2.-A Washington special to the Herald says: Officials in both the War and Navy Departments are of the opinion that there is no cause for alarm at the non- arrival of the first Philippine expedition at Manila This expedition sailed on May 20, and If it proceeded directly to Manila, should have arrived there about June %. Up to the last advices received by the Navy Department the expedition had not reached it's destination. Although the officials are unable to give any req son for the delay in this expedition reaching Manila, they surmise there may have been some delay caused by the programme which contemplated stop at Guahan in the Ladrone Islands Guahan Is about 1500 miles from Ma nila, and Is defended by old fortlfica- tions provided with old style smooth bore guns. The object in sending the expedition to that place was to have the Charleston, which conveyed the ex- petition, reduce the Notifications and thus obtain a coaling station for the other American vessels. No doubt that this part of the programme was suc cessfully executed, but it Is thought not unlikely the expedition may have been delayed at Guahan longer than was expected.
The San Francisco call., 1898-07-03

Rear Admiral Dewey; under the in- structions given him, will commence operations against the city of Manila immediately upon the arrival of the American troops. I believe the first de- tachment of these troops. 250o. strong, are now at their destination, and our next advices from the American com napder will announce that they have landed at Cavite and are preparing to operate against the city in conjunction With the insurgents. These prepara- 'tions ought not to occupy any great . length of time, for the reason the war ships. will be able to lombard the Spanish strongholds. Attacked from the front and rear the equalization is certain.
 '.On. account of the Philippines being the probable destination Of the fleet under command of Admiral Camara, it is desired by the officials that Manila shall be taken, guns erected and, mounted and the harbor mined, in or der that the position of the. American warships. and troops may. be absolutely impregnabIe.
 "If. Camara goes to the Philippines at all,"' said the official who was discuss ing the Philippines situation with me, e "he will avoid Manila, but will prowl around the islands, doing as much damage to the American cause as pos sible, and show to the world by his movements that the Philippines, with the exception of Manila. still belong to Spain. Among nations friendly to Spain her position in this matter might be considered tenable. It is to prevent Admiral Camara from making such a demonstration that Commodore. Wat sons command will be sent in pursuit to destroy or capture the eneny's men of-war.'''
 Secretary Day said this evening that he had no information confirmatory of the report that France, Russia and Germany had reached an agreement to interfere in the Philippines when hostilities cease to prevent the United States or Great Britain gaining posses sion of the whole of the islands. He indicated that he placed no credence in the report
 Administration officials ridicule the report that when the war is over an international congress will be proposed to settle. all questions connected with it, and that all the great powers, in cluding Spain and the United States, will be invited to join. Officials with whom I talked said that the war was between the United States and Spain, and that they alone. would settle the terms of peace.
The San Francisco call., 1898-07-03

three powers do not intend to actively interfere until hostilities cease, after which they will combine to prevent the United States or Great Britain gaining possession of the whole of the Philip pine Islands. When the war Is over an international congress will be proposed, similar to the Berlin Congress of 1878, to settle all nuestions connected with the war All the great powers will be invited to join, including the United States and Spain. It appears certain that Germany will demand a slice of the Philippine Islands or other com pensation in the far East.
 The same authority said that Ger many is doing a thriving trade in pro- visions, especially peas, beans and canned goods, and in ammunition and small arms, through Hamburg commits sion merchants. who are selling to both Spain and the United States. The lat ter, It appears, is buying quantities of the potassium used for saltpeter from the big German alkali works. All these goods, it is asserted, are shipped from Copenhagen mainly by the Thingvalla line. The German Government has ordered that three cruisers be kept in West Indian waters In spite of the war the German exports to America are as large as ever

I WO SHIPS ENTER THE
 SUEZ CANAL

NEW YORK, July 2.-A Washington special to the Herald says: The span- ish ships Colon and Covadonga entered the Suez Canal yesterday. The rest, with the exception of one repairing, have left the harbor, coaling from their transports.
 This is the extent of a cablegram re- ceived this afternoon at the State De- partment from Deputy Consul Watts, who Is attached to the Cairo consulate, but who was sent to Port Said to ob- serve the movements of the Spanish fleet, and in conjunction with Consular Agent Broadbent, make every effort to prevent any violation of neutrality laws along the canal or at its entrances. The departure of the fleet with the excep- tion of one vessel, the torpedo boat de- stroyer Audaz, whose machinery was damaged during the run from Cadiz and which is undergoing repairs, shows that Admiral Camara in deference to the Egyptian Government, which has been considering the protest filed by American agents against permitting the fleet to remain too long time at Port Said, has gone outside the harbor for the purpose of coaling from trans ports which have reached Port Said
 The Colon and Coyadonga are merely supply ships, the former carry ing stores and the latter coal
 The officials understand that Admiral Camara's fleet will ccal from the Cova- donga in case they should pass through the canal, the Egyptian Government having declined to permit any of the colliers at Port Said to proceed to the Red Sea and then furnish coal to the Spaniards. It is understood in naval circles that Camara's ships are coaling from the Isla de Luzon and San Ig- nacio, which arrived a few days ago from Spain.
 The Navy Department learned to- day from an official source that the report is current in Madrid 1t is the intention of the Ministry to direct Camars to return to Spain.
 The department has also heard the report that three torpedo-boat destroy CTS with the Spanish fleet are to be re- turned tC Cadiz, and while it is believed to be true, nothing positive can be said on this point. It is expected Camaras s fleet will have completed coaling by to- morrow or Monday and it's movements after that time are awaited with inter- est.
 A strong belief is current in official circles that in declaring the departure of the squadron from Port Said Spain is guided by desire to learn the re- suit of the campaign against Cervera's ships. Watson's squadron will not sail in pursuit of Camara until after the fall of Santiago de Cuba and the de- struction of Cervera's s fleet. When this work has been accomplished the de- partment's order requires the formation

HAS CONFIDENCE IN
 .. AMERICAS FAIRNESS
Aguinaldo Expects That the Philip
 pine Insurgents Will Receive All Their Rights.

LONDON. July 2.-The Hongkong correspondent of the Daily Mail says: To a friend of United States Consul Wildman General Aguinaldo has de- clared:
 ''The Philippines have the greatest confidence in America's fairness We trust the American people, confident that. with their support, we shall be able to obtain and hold our full rights and shall be respected by all the Euro pean powers. The Americans are re- dressing Cuban wrongs and will do the same for us in the Philippines"
 A dispatch to the Cologne Gazette from Hongkong declares that General Aguinaldo, flushed with victory, insists upon the absolute independence of the Philippines. Another report alleges that there is an agreement between the United States and Japan to prevent the interference of Russia and Germany in the Philippines.

GERMANS ARE WARNED
 AGAINST INTERFERENCE

colonels and lieutenant colonels in the American columns were killed.
 From latest reports it is believed the Americans have sustained losses in the two days fighting of twelve hundred. killed and wounded. The Spanish loss Is much greater. At least one thosuand Spaniards have been killed and two thousand have been taken prisoners by our forces.
 The divisions of Lawton and Chaffee, which did gallant work throughout the day, effected a junction at noon to-day and did most effective work against the. enemy. They went to the front in an all. most irresistible charge against the center of the enemys lines.
 After great effort the Americans placed their artillery in positions from which they effectually cannonaded the city. At noon the telling effect of the artillery and infantry attacks was be-. city was seen to be only question of hours.
 Among the American dead are:

August Informs the Madrid Govern ment. of State of. Affairs

MADRID, July "A dispatch was re- ceived here to-day from Genc-al Au- gusti, dated Manila, June 26, via Hong kong, in which he says.
 "The situation continues as critical as announced in my dispatch of June 15. Fifteen German, French, Japanese and British war vessels are anchored in the bay. Through them there is frequent communication at Hongkong. General Monet, after fighting several battles, has arrived at Macabore with a thousand men, where he is intrenched. In the event of the enemy advancing on the capital I have ordered General Mont to force his way through to my help, tE1ugh I regard such an opera tion as difficult"

In the absence of any official dispatch. giving details of the attack. on Santiago: :: de Cuba, the newspapers: here express great anxiety, which. is increased by :: the report that. no achievements have reached the besieged city from. Manzanillo or Holquin.. The papers. complain of the extreme :brevity of the Spanish advices, leaving all Europe at the mercy of American exaggera-:: tions."
 Every one here seems to feel that the decisive game is being played around Santiago de Cuba, and that the fall of that city cannot fail to affect the very existence of the Government here, but thus far perfect tranquility. prevails. :.
