1t may be interesting to some of our

out to Fort Independence today, it is
down in the harbOr, on a small island
about a mile from City Point. There
is no garrison now. but there are lot
of torpedoes stored there ready to use,
and there were several on the landing
ready to ship to Fort Warren. The
entrance to Boston harbor is very mar
row, and in case of war they would
plant these torpedoes across the chan
mel and no foreign ship would dare to
enter the harbor 1t is about 10 miles
from the entrance to the harbor to the
city, so they could hardly reach the
Ames building but it does make good
mark from the harbOr. | saw an old
soldier there who gave me a great
many points about harbor, etc. A big
English cattle steamer direct from
Liverpool came in and passed up the
channel, only a short distance from the
island. 1t was fine sight to a coun-

GARCIA is DISGUISED.
Notifies shafter That He VIII withdraw
the lnsurgent Troops to the Hills
and Act Independently.

Santiago, July 81, via Playa del Este.
July %. Gen. Shafter is in receipt Of
a letter from Gen. Garcia, in which he
declares that he is disguised with his
treatment at the bands of the Ameri-
cans and will consequently withdraw
his own forces to the hills, being no
longer willing to submit to the indig-
mites TO which he had been subjected.
Among the things of which Gen. Gar
cha complains is the failure of the
American commander to officially noti-
fy him of the surrender OF the Span
ish forces under Toral He is also
incensed at the fact that he was
not invited to be present at the GER.
emory attending the formal captula-
ton Another of Garcia's grievances
is the action of Gen. Shafter in retain
ing the Spanish civil authorities in the
administration of their functions in
Santiago. For these reasons, Garcia
declares, he will no longer cooperate
with the forces under Gen. Skaters
command, but will act independently,
as he did before the American troops
landed in Cuba.

SITUATION AT MANILA.


Manila, July II. via Hong Kong,
July 22.-Rear Admiral Dewey may de-
eide to capture Manila before Gen.
Merritt arrives here. In view OF the
possibility Of an early peace and the
news from Cuba, the insurgents are
renewing their activity. There have
been vigorous attacks and slight
bombardment on the outskirts OF the
city. to which the Spaniards replied
with an extravagant Smelling. The
Spaniards now say they do not believe
the renforcements promised them will
ever reach here and they despair OF
success But they condemn the pro.
posal TO retire to the citadel, which is
utterly defenseless, as such step will
merely invite slaughter. Therefore
they believe it would be better to sur
render though fearing public censure.
However, they will probably be com.
PEELED to surrender as soon as food is
dangerously scarce. They may pre-
tend to fight the Americans for the
sake of appearances, but the result
will not long be in doubt il Admiral
Dewey resolves to capture Manila with
the forces he has at his disposal.

heretofore issued by Gen. Miles before
he left Washington, providing for the
