ment:
Hong Kong, July 3o,-Adiutant General.
United States Army Washington.
July 25.-Arrived to-day about IL. Health

"(Signed MERRITT,
Major General Commanding"
Cavire. Manila Bay, July 20, via
Hong Kong, Aug. 1.-Aguinaldo, the
insurgent leader, is going to cause
trouble here, and already Admiral
Dewey regards him as an enemy,
rather than friend. The fact is, that
Aguinaldo has been two-faced with
the Americans, and it has been evident
for some time that he was jealous of
the American power as transport after
transport landed more and more
American soldiers. While he has kept
up n friendly front, he has issued secret
orders to his men not to permit the
Americans to secure necessary horses
and other equipment. All this has
been annoying to Admiral Dewey and
the American generals, and Gen. Mer-
rift, now ;hat he has taken command
in the field, will probably find Aguin.
aldo more formidable opponent than
August.
The insurgent commander has re-
Gently been dropping his mask and has
become openly insolent. Admiral
Dewey has communicated this state of
affairs to Washington. though he is
not ut all alarmed at the outlook. The
insurgent leader would not dare order
an attack on the American camp, be-
cause they arc protected by guns of
the squadron, and it is not at all GER
tain that the other chiefs would obey
his commands. Even II they should,
Gen. Merritt, aided by the squadron,
could repel combined assault from
both AguinGldo and the Spaniards of
the city. The other !nsurgent chiefs
are chatting nnder Aguinaldo's orders,
ard trouble is brewing in his camp.
His officers are offended by his as
sumption If the Gic;G' orship. and the
rank and file object strenuously TO the
war taxes. so his insolent and Defiant
attitude may be changed by his own
people without the i.ccessity of action
by The American commander.
With Admiral Dewey's Fleet, Manila
Bay, July &c, via Hong-Kong, Aug. l.
1t has been reported to Admiral Dewey
by a prominent foreign resident of
Manila who has just arrived at Cavite
that Capt. Gen. Augusti gave him a
message TO deliver to the American
commander, to the effect that the city
would be surrendered as soon as it
could be surrendered honorably. This
is construed to mean that only a mere
show of resistance will be offered by
the Spaniar6s when the bombardment
by the American warships begins.

accounts OF the American peace terms
and a suspicion that the Washington gov

Pouf! The matter is simple!"
Miserable as 1 was I fairly laughed
out at Belin's plot. Nevertheless, the
hopefulness of the man, his CHEEKY tone
and happy spirit had their effect upon
me, and If it turned out that the king
was wavering there was more than q
straw of hope floating down stream to
me. Ny courage grew also when put
together Sully's words with Belin's
news that Biron was detained by the
side Of the king. 1t surely meant that
this was done to prevent the marshal
doing mischief elsewhere. If so, was
nevertheless on the horns of dilemma,
for by telling Of the plot would, If my
story were believed, make matters hope
less, and advance d'Ayen's cause to the
misery of the woman I loved.
On the other hand, by keeping silent
was in an equally hard case. My
pledge to sully prevented me from TAX
ing Belin fully into my confidence, and
hardly knowing what I was doing, 1
poured myself out another full goblet
of the chambertin, and drained it at a
draft.

D'Ayen bowed slightly to me; but

Four of the finest horses in the stables were driven by Theodore Beck, and the turn out made a handsome appearance which attracted the attention of many people The soldiers were taken through some of the most beautiful streets of the city and out to East Rock park, where a birds eye view Of the city was enjoyed. The soldiers were greeted with interest and enthusiasm all along the route. The men enjoyed the drive very much and were much pleased with what they saw of the city. They were unanimous in saying that New Haven was the prettiest place that they had ever seen. While they were enjoying the view from the rock and the breezes which blow across it. Sergeant Grenuer of the Grays who accompanied the party treated them to ice cream. After three hours outing the men returned to the hospital They could not say enough in praise of MT. Nesbit's kindness.
