that il was strictly correct and that it described
what is believed L. have been simple move

can troops Expressed generally. the ldea is
that the scene Of the last engagement was to
the north and northeast Of Manila about four
miles out Of the city. The American troops had
been advancing in northeasterly direction.
The brigade Of Rrigadier-Gencra Harrison 6.

report the left side OF this triangle was swung

result Of clearing out the country between its
former position and Caloocan. leaving the
Americans occupying that place. and stroightcn-

1t appears. added:
1t is of the most urgent importance that We
should at once he acquainted with the decision.
as we are negotiating with General Otis. and
the vote will vitally affect the negotiations"
AgoncIo further declares that. as he was
closely shadowed by the American authorities
to dispatch this telegram would have been i'm
possible and he therefore proceeded TO British
territory.
Agoncillo also SAYS he was persuaded the
treaty would not he ratified, and points out that
the three votes by which it was passed were
only obtained at the last moment. and as the
result Of the outbreak Of hostties."
The agent Of Aeulnaldo again expressed his
conviction that the outbreak was provoked by
the Americans for this very purpose" The tele-

Flint Co.'s Ships for Hawaii.

San Francisco, October 90 - Shippers
and shipowners attribute the quiekened
activity prevailing on the water front to
the policy Of expansion. Since Hawaii has
become part Of the United States great
trade has grown up between this port and
the Islands, although but little more than
a year has elapsed since the annexation.
And now the fine fleet of sailing vessels
owned by Flint & Co. of New York has
been transferred TO Pacific waters and will
claim San Francisco as the home port.
This fleet has been bought by local syn
dictate with the avowed purpose of meet.
ing the demand for freight space on Homo
lulu-bound vessels. Pacific Coast vessels
have been taxed beyond their capacity by
this increasing demand, Every steamer
that has sailed recently for Hawaiian ports
has been forced to refuse freight. But the
Flint vessels will reach out still further.
We certainly expect to take our new
vessels to the Philippines as soon as the
present unpleasantnesS Is settled" said
William E. Mighel yesterday, the new
managing owner of the fleet
The Hawaiian four masted steel schoon-
er Americana has been purchased by G. A.
Hooper x Co. and will be added to the
vessels of this port. She is Of ooI tons
burden, 2o4 feet long, AZ feet beam and IS
feet deep. She was built at Glasgow in
1892 and was owned by P. Brown of New
York. She Is on the way from New York
to Montevdeo. From there she will go to
the Sound In ballast to take lumber.
