Fifteen dead Spaniards, including one lieu
tenant. were found in the fort.
During the attack several shots struck
the ships in the harbor. one penetrating the

on board the boat the attack was pic
turesQue, the crack of Mausers, the twitter
of the long steel bullets overhead, and the
rattle of the machine guns, seemed to be
incessant. while the crash Of the field guns
could be heard as they threw canister
where the fire of the spaniards was the
thickest Then there was the screech of the
Marblehead's shells as she took part in the
contest.
The Dolphin this morning located the
spanish water station on the ocean side of
the harbor entrance which supplied the
water for the attacking force. The well was
situated in blockhouse windmill having a
small garrison. 1t was shelled at two thou
sand yards. Excellent practice was made,
the station was wrecked, and canister fol-
lowed the retreating Spaniards up the steep
ravine. Each shell disclosed the spot where
it alighted by raising cloud of dust. They
were all well placed.
The arrival of the fleet to complete the
bombardment of the town and it's defenses
is expected this afternoon.
Later advices from Guantanamo bay bv a
dispatch boat say: "It is believed that the
marines at Guantanamo will be able to
maintain their position until the long-ex-
pected troops arrive. During the second
night attack by the Spanish, which ended
at daybreak this morning, they held their
ground against desperate odds, and the dis
covery of the bodies of fifteen Spaniards.
including a lieutenant, shows how deadly
was the American defense The Spanish
sent 5000 men by train from the city of
Guantanamo to attack them, but pressed
by the American fire, the Spanish were un-
able to reach the earthworks. The Mar
blehead shelled the woods. but could not
locate the Spanish line with accuracy She
has since been reinforced by the Dolphin.

are entirely due to the excess Of blind tiger

THE NEXT EXPEDITION.
Preparations Begun for Sending an
Army to Porto Rico.


WASHINGTON, June 14.-Having started
the Santiago de Cuba expedition the War
Department has now concentrated all it's
energies on the preparation of the force
to be sent to Porto Rico. Active movements
in that line have been made on a scale SO
extensive as to lead to the supposition in
some quarters that the attack is to be di-
rected on Havana. but if this is so there
is no open indication of it. The volunteers
collected at Ctattanooga-fortyt thousand in
number, arc reaching a degree of excellence
under the magnificent management of Gen.
Brooke that would warrant the government
in ordering them Immediately into active
service, but, unfortunately, there is still
considerable lack of equipment that will not
permit of this.
There are about fifteen transports already
available for the Porto Rican expedition
and the list will be increased as rapidly
as possible Some of these may be used for
later expedition, but those on hand and
to be secured will readily accommodate a
force of ten thousand men. Recent reports
from Porto Rico have indicated that the
Spanish force there does not exceed four
thousand or five thousand men, so that it
may be deemed unnecessary to send a large
army of occupation. Such as it is. however,
it will have an important mission to per-
form and with this force pursuing an ag-
gressive campaign in Porto Rico and Gen.
Skaters fifteen thousand men on Cuban
soil. an abundance of stirring action is as
surred from this week forward.

select a suitable concentration point on the
Atlantic-gulf coast. with a view of estab-
fishing point of embarkation for future
expeditions, returned to-day and Immediate

Situation at Manila.

LONDON, June 15.--The
Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph, forwarding ad-
vices he has received from Manila
up to June s, says: "On June 5,
the insurgents forced the passage
of the Zapote river and captured
Las Pinas and Paranski. Since
then, up to the time my advices
left Manila, the fighting has been
continuous, and the Spaniards
were being gradually driven in.
"The fall of the city seems i'm
minent before the arrival of the
American forces. Manila is abso-
lutely incapable of resisting bonn
bardment. Admiral Dewey is sur
prised at the rebel progress, but
the Spaniards suspect that the in
surgents are fighting under Amer
lean guidance. The defenders of
the city have suffered severely
from the incessant attacks and
from want of food and rest, and
the hospitals and churches are
crowded with the wounded"

CAPE HAITIEN RUMOR.
Landing Party Reported to Have Been
RepuIsed at Santiago.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press)
CAPE HAITIEN, June IA, $40 p. m.-The
United States auxiliary cruiser st. Louis
and several dispatch boats-so it is reported
here-brought to Mole st. Nicholas to-day
a story that landing was effected by the
Americans late on Monday very near Santi-
ago. According tot this account the Ameri-
cans took possession of a fortified position
commanding portion of the port, but the
Spaniards rallied and attacked the invading
force finally dislodging it and re-taking the
position.
This information does not tally with a
cablegram received Sunday night by United
States Minister Powell, which asserted that
eight thousand Americans had landed at
Santiago bay without encountering serious
opposition

SERIOUS TROUBLE IN CHINA.
Conflicting Interests of Great Britain and
Russia Causing Complications.

Russia Causing Complications.
Shanghai A local rumor is current
here to the effect that the emperor of
China is dead. No details obtainable.
PelSin: An imperial edict just issued
definitely announces that the emperor
of China has resigned his power to the
empress (dowager empress), who has
ordered the ministers TO deliver TO her
in future their official reports.
1t is said the recent reformatory
edicts of the emperor probably caused
the change. While the emperor was
subservient and mere fgurehead, the
dowager empress permitted him to re-
main in peace, but as soon as he at
tempted to act on his own initiative
his practical deposition followed. The
effect of the change will be great. Ii
Hung Chang will be reinstated in
power and Russian influence will in
crease. The new order of things will
undoubtedly prejudice British inter
ests throughout China and will prevent
the proposed alliance between China
and Japan.
