allied the garrison of Manila, and the
entire Spanish colony, believing that
peace negotiations were already under
way. was anxious and ready to ac-
cept the inevitable and surrender the
city whenever Admiral Dewey should
see fit to demand it. This statement
was backed up by the fact that not a
single shot had been fired upon the
United States troops, although they
were landed within two miles of Fort
Malate in broad daylight, on an open
beach, and despite the fact that they
had camped in the open fields about q
mile from the trenches occupied by the
Insurgents.
- Furthermore the cruiser Boston and
gunboat Callao, which had been COW
ering the landing of the troops, had
been anchored within range of the
Spanish guns for five days unmoested
Had the Spaniards been merely walt

Concord had been cruising at the
mouth of the Pasig river almost un-

been fired In their direction.
The insurgents also discontinued the
aggressive attitude they had been
maintaining before the United States
troops landed. Their sudden inactiv-

Aguinaldo was not consulted to the
extent that he considered compatible
with his position as general Of the in
Durgent forces.

WRECKED WARSBIPS.
fhe Effort to Save Vessels Of Ad-
e....z miral Cervera's Fleet. r
TWO OF THEM OAN BE RESTORED.

Tho Maria Teresa and Reina Mercedes
VIII 30 Added to Our Navy, But the
Almirante Oquendo and viscaya Are
Not Worth Saving For Junk.
Santiago de Cuba. Aug. ia cor
respondent yesterday visited the
wrecks of the warships of Admiral
Cervera's fleet Captain Sharp. of the
Chapman Merritt Wrecking company,
is working vigorously to. float the
Maria Teresa, and expects to get her
afioat and in such condition as to en-
able her to come to Santiago within
a fortnight. The Maria Teresa has a
hole IL feet long in her bottom, verv
close to the keel. This is being closed
and stopped with unriveted plates. SOL
dered. and cement and bagging.
Captain Sharp suggests bringing the
Maria Teresa first to Santiago for tenn
porary repairs and then taking her to
Havana. where 1t will be possible to
patch her UP sufficiently for her to
undertake the voyage north. He thinks
the vessel can be so repaired as to
make her available as first class
cruiser.
Captain Sharp, however, has no san
guinc hopes of saving the Cristobal
Colon. In fact he considers the task
practically impossible. despite the con-
trary opinion entertained by some.. and
he would not guarantee that the ves-
sci can be floated. The salvage of the
Reina Mercedes and the Merrimac, he
says, will be easy. Both can be tioated
with little difficulty, and he will un-
dertake the contract with confidence.
The Almiranto OquendO and the Viz
caya are both total wrecks, and are not
worth saving for junk.
Three hundred and seventy-five patti
ents from the hospital at Siboney We're
brought to Santiago yesterday after
noon and will leave by the hospital ship
Quitania some time today. The Eighth
Chio will leave on the Mohawk. One
company of the Thirty fourth Michigan
regiment went this morning to Guam
tanamo bay for transportation on the
United States steamer Resolute.
Over 600 refugees from the province
Of Santiago have returned within two
days from Jamaica. They are mostly
planters and their families.
The authorities are finding great
difficulty in maintaining discipline in
the city. The immune soldiers are
causing much trouble. and. though the
city is being patrolled by the Eighth
Illinois regiment (colored), it will be
necessary to supplement them with a
special orga nized police force.

Camp George G. Meade.

Harrisburg. Aug. 1S.-Major General
Graham has taken charge of the new
military camp near Middletown, and
will recommend that it be named in
honor of General George G. Meade.
General Graham is much pleased with
the location. The railroad officials
have been advised to prepare for
heavy movement of troops, and 1t Is
expected that 10000 men will be en-
camped in the vicinity Of Middletown
within the next 30 days.
