INCREASING
 HER FORCE England Sends More Ships to Manila.
INTERFERENCE SCOFFED AT BY
 OUR AUTHORITIES.

WASHINGTON, June 23. = To- nights press dispatches announce that Great Britain's three warships in Ma nila harbor will be augmented by two more from the Asiatic station. This creates the impression that Germany may really intend to interfere. But officers of the administration place no credence in the report that Germany has landed a naval force at Manila. The report is believed to be inspired by Spanish allies for the purpose of precipitating trouble between the United States and Germany.
 Secretary Day is confident that Ger many has no ulterior motive in it's na- val movements at Manila and that Admiral Dewey will execute his in structions without having any compli- cations with Germany or any other foreign power.
 A member of the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee said to-day: T am very sure that the story is not true, and I am equally positive that if Ger many or any other country is landing troops or in any other way attempting to interfere with the American occu- patton of the Philippines she is making a grave mistake for herself.
 Tt is unquestionably proper under ordinary circumstances for neutral governments to land marines In the territory of belligerents where it's own citizens may be in danger. America has done so frequently. On many oc- casions in Central and South America,
 i,,fn fofa were in progress, We have landed ma rines to protect our citizens. Ameri- can marines were landed, too, at AL exandria during the British lombard ment. The practice has become al- most a custom with this country.
 "The situation in Manila is different in every essential particular. The land ing of troops by any European nation at Manila at this time would have sig nificance beyond that of the act itself.
 "Even were it done simply to pro- tect neutrals there must be a. sugges- tion of intention to intervene.
 "In addition to this there is no neces- sity for the move. The United States forces at Manila are capable, abun- dantly, of protecting all neutral citi- zens and property. The insurgents have shown no disposition to break the rules of civilized warfare or commit ex- cessses.
 "The United States would resent any such move There would be active re- sentiment by force of arms if any such landing were in the least to assume the aspect of interference.
 LONDON, June 24.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Daily Chron- icle says:
 .Dr. von Holleben, the German En- bassador to the United States, has ar ranged for the landing of German ma- rines at Manila to protect the German consulate. if necessary, with American permission"

ON BOARD THE HER ALD-CALL DISPATC H BOAT OFF SANTIAGO, 6 p. m. Wednesday, via Kingston, Jamaica, June 23.-General Shaf- ter to-day had the Cubans make a demonstration against Mata- moras and the western outposts with the idea of drawing out the Spaniards in force. While the demonstration failed to accom- pliSh what General Shafter de sired, 1t resulted in fine piece of work by the Texas.
 The Texas, unaided, siIenced and apparently destroyed bat tery which all the ships in Com modore Schley's division of the fleet had twice fercely lombard ed without result. Steaming in so close that she almost touched the shore, the battleship took Socapa battery on the flank, pouring into it I35 six-inch and twelve-inch shells. The Spanish forces that had been driven from Matamoras field batteries now fled from Socapa.
 Officers of the Vesuvius, which lay opposite the Texas target, say the craftsmanship of the bat tleship's gunners was the finest of the war. Admiral Sampson was delighted with the work when Captain Philip told him: we have destroyed them"
 The Texas was struck by sev- eral Spanish shells, but sustained little damage.
 The Texas was struck by single shell which killed one man and wound ed six others.
 Killed: F. R. Blakeley, apprentice, first class, of Newport.
 Wounded: R. Russell, apprentice, Philadelphia; W. J. Simonson, sea- man, New York; H. A. Gee, appren- tice, Philadelphia; J. E. Lively, landsman, Norfolk, Va; G. F. Null len, apprentice, New York; A. Soog- vist, seaman, New York.
 Russell is very seriously wounded. The others will recover.
 The shot which struck the Texas was about the last fired before the Span iards abandoned the battery under the heavy accurate fire of the Texas This shell entered the battleship twenty feet abaft the stem at point on the out side about three feet below the main deck line. It cut a jagged round hole from the measurements of which it is deduced the size of the projectile was six and one-half inches.
 Oddly enough, after striking the first obstruction 1t failed to explode, pass ing through the hawser reel and then cutting in two the heavy iron stanch- ion in the center line of the berth deck,

SENDS TERROR INTO
 4 SPANISH CAMP
Vesuvius Throws a Dynamite Shell Which Makes Magnif-
 cent Hit

ON BOARD THE HERALD-CALL DISPATCH BOAT, OFF, SANTIAGO, via Port Antonio. Jamaica, June 23.- Last night at 10 o'clock the vesuvius glided through the darkness to a po- sition 500 yards from the batteries east of Morro. The first shell exploded made great hit. It was magnificent and imposing and must have terrorized the Spanish camp. The shell struck squarely in front of the sand batteries, Knocking down great masses of debris. stone and other objects, which, flying in the air, were plainly discernible from the fleet through the aid of glasses. For more than 250 yards there seemed to be a lake of flames
 For one hour a cloud hung over Morro. A gunboat threw a searchlight on the scene. Strangely enough Morro did not show sign of activity. but several shells came whistling from other batteries. The officers are elated over the success of the Vesuvius.

in the papers, but finally she consented

give her reasons for the arrest.
