DEWEY HAS MADE NO
 .OFFICIAL PLEDGES
Carefully Avoided Committing the Government to Any Line
 of Action,

WASHINGTON, July 1.-While not prolix in his utterances, Admiral Dewey loses no opportunity to keep the Navy Department informed of the state Of affairs at Manila. A dispatch came from him to-day, dated Cavite, June 27. He had many other matters of interest to communicate. but they were not of character that could be properly made public at this stage. For one thing it can be stated that Admiral Dewey has been particular to avoid committing his Government to any particular line of action respecting the future of the Philippines or to do any thing that would embarrass General Merritt in framing a policy to meet the needs of the case when he arrives. He has made; no. official pledges to the in- surgent leader, although he has not hesitated to openly praise his good politics and his accomplishments.

 Itsis reported that the rebels captured Bulucan north of Manila, with the Governor of that province and "a large number of troops. Fighting around Manila is limited to holding spaniards in check.
 A Spanish force at Malate attacked the besieging rebels fiercely Sunday night and were repulsed with slight loss to the insurgents. The German war ships have gone away. The only Ger man warships now in Manila Bay are the Princess Wilhelm and Kormoran The last Japanese cruiser sails for Hongkong to-day, taking the mail Two more British cruisers have arrived, also the French flagship Bayard. The re- maining warships are two French and four British. The Pasig has left Hong kong for Swatow. It Is believed that

 don Bennett.
 MANILA BAY July 9 '(via Hong kong and Paris, July1) Serious dissen- sion has already broken out among the rebel leaders: General Aguinaldo sent General Mascado yesterday to arrest Isabella Armacho and five other na- lives whom he suspected of conspiracy against his authority They have been thrown into prison and their friends fear they will be taken to Old Cavite and shot to-day.
 Armacho, who was Home Secretary in Aguinaldo's Cabinet in 1896, remained as hostage when General de Rivera pacified the island last winter. Aguin- aldo went to Hongkong and received the first installment of peace money, $400,00e. He cabled to Armacho, who then ordered the natives to lay down their arms. There was trouble over the second installment of S200,000, and a lawsuit was begun at Hongkong for the possession of this money last April Armacho claiming he had not, received his share Finally Aguinaldo gave Ar iidClio pluO,OouN tlllO lllt ltlLSI IGCcnlly bought 5000 rifles, which were to have been shipped from Hongkong to Cavite in the steamer Pasig. This vessel was seized by the British authorities about two weeks ago. for violating the sneu- traIity laws.
 .Aguinaldo's, partisans suspect Arma- cho caused the seizure. To a1lay these suspicious Armacho came to Cavite from Hongkong in the Zafiro the day before yesterday and was arrested at daybreak yesterday. One of Armacho's S friends, Sandico. escaped capture and claimed a. safe asylum from United States Consul Williams, who took him aboard the transport Naushan. He will go to Hongl1ong, where he will be set ashore. MT. Williams is said to be using his influence to prevent the execution of Armacho. .Sandico later returned to Aguinaldo's headquarters and all the leading insurgents are trying to patch ups the trouble between Aguinaldo and Armacho. Whether the latter will be

Mau1la 1SSCdpluISQ.
 NEW YORK, July 1.S-The. Washing ton correspondent of. the Herald tele- graphs: Rear Admiral Dewey cabied to the Navy Department to-day that the situation j in Manila is still un- changed. The dispatch was dated June 27. At: the. time it. was sent the transports, with ,2500 troops on board had not yet arrived. Neither had the cruiser Charleston been sighted.
 Much to the gratificatien of the au- thorities Rear Admiral Dewey reported that the insurgents had taken no offen- sive action against Manila. This is es- pecially pleasing, as 1t shows that Gen eral Aguinaldo is still complying with the wishes of Admiral Dewey and will make no offensive move against Manila until the transports and the Charles ton arrive g g.
 The troops will be landed at .Cavite, and when they have srecuperated from their long voyage they will be moved forward to the insurgent lines. The American warships will take up their position in front Of the city and its surrender will be demanded Failure to comply with the demand will result III sODGTdIlOI1So WHICH oiI aSs UtllSNOQ w III result in the capture of the city with out much loss. :ss
 It is not proposed to fire indiscrim- inately on the town. The points to be shelled are those occupied by the Span ish troops. The authorities do not ex-s pect that foreign marines are to be landed, but if they should be they will be invited to leave as soon as the city is in the possession of the Americans. Rear Admiral Dewey will inform the German eommander-in-chief and the: senior officers of other naval forces that the 2500 Americans at his disposal are sufficient to preserve order in the city, and that retention of marines on shore Is unnecessary. It is said in ad- ministration circles that such a state ment will undoubtedly result in the withdrawal of marines. On assurance from Rear Admiral Dawey that the, Americans can preserve order the other: warships will undoubtedly withdraw their forces. In the face of such an ex-S ample Vice Admiral Diedrfchs will have no excuse for ordering the Ger man forces to remain in the city.

GERMANY RECOGNIZES
 OUR AUTHORITY

Admiral Diedrichs Rejects the Propo-
 sition of Neutral
 Governor.
 .-,.+ BERLIN, July 1.-The following dis patch has been received from Hong kong. According to trustworthy intel :ltgence from Manila the Spanish Gov ernor General had, a few days ago, at his own request, a meeting with Ad- rniral Diedrichs, commander of the German naval forces in the Far East, in order: to propose, on behalf of the Spanish Government. that Manila should be handed into the provisional charge of a neutral commander. The proposal was rejected by Admiral Died richs, in view of the American block ade.
 The Manila news, via Hongkong, re- ferring to the action of Admiral Died- richs, may be looked upon as being a semi-official note, as it was issued by the semi official news agency here.

 First Brigade, commanded by Colonel J. J, Van Horn, Eighth United States Infantry; Twenty second United States Infantry and the Second Massachusetts Infantry. '
 Second Brigade, commanding officer unknown, but supposed to be Colonel Bates, First United States Infantry; Fourth United States Infantry and Twenty-hfth United States Infantry. !. :. E:
 Third Brigade, commanded by Brigadier General A. R. Chaffee, Seventh United States Infantry; Twelfth United States Infantry and Seventeenth United States Infantry. <. .>. :-...: :. :.
 Thus it appears that the divi- sion which opened the hostilities of the day is. composed entirely of regular troops, seasoned and experienced in battle, with the exception Of the.
