Plenty of Bonds Yet.

1t has been persistenty reported by
some Of the city papers that the loan Of
5000, 00O,0 900 asked for by the government
has been subscribed several times over and
there is no use in any ones sending money
to Washington for bonds now. There are
those who believe that these reports are
circulated in the interests of the large city
banks and moneyed syndicates, for there
is certainly no difficulty in securing bonds
in sums Of from 500 to $500. It should
be remembered that subscriptions will be
received until P. M, July IA, and any
one desiring these bonds should not hesi-
tate to send in their subscriptions. The
city banks are employing agents all over
the United States to get people to sub
scribe for small amounts and turn their
subscriptions over to these banks in order
that they may control large slice of the
issue. They are offering as high as So on
$500 subscriptions and this shows that keen
financiers are convinced that the bonds
will soon be at heavy premium.
The publisher of the TINES was shown
yesterday receipt dated at Washington
june 80; it was numbered 81 ,4Ss. Sup
posing each of these receipts was for $500
and probably many of them are for smaller
sums, it wouldsggreeste oaly4s4s, 7l9 900.

Cavite by a German steamer, occupies
the mansion of the late governor OF
Cavite, but he will shortly move to linus
to make room for the American troops
The insurgents now have 5000 prisoners
one hundred and elghty-seven or the
Spanish wounded have been sent to
Manila with flag of truce by permission
of Admiral Dewey. The wounded Of
ficers, with one exception, are at Cavite
The Spanish brigadier, Moret, was killed
at San Fernando in an attempt to force
the rebel line.
An American official at Cavite writes
as follows: IF great bloodshed and de-
struction come to Manila, Spain may
Justly blame the Germans. Manila
would have surrendered before the ar
rival of the German squadron without
bloodshed, but now, owing to the moral
support of its presence, the city refuses
to surrender"

A DASH FOR LIBERTY.

Kingston, JAM, June est is believed
That Admiral Cervera contemplated
making dash out Of the harbor Satur-
day night. Four columns of smoke were
seen at shutdown advancing towards the
mouth of the harbor, and two small
boats, believed to be torpedo boat de-
stroyers, were observed in the neighbor-
hood of the Merrimac. Consequently
Admiral Sampson ordered extra precau-
tons to be taken. The Ericsson and
Porter stood very close into the harbor
all night, but no ships came out. Shortly
after midnight the dynamite cruiser fired
three guncotton shells in the direction of
MORO castle. They exploded on the
ridge and behind the eastern hill. The
damage done is not known.
