fililtltl tcntitim TWO CENTS. TWELVE V rtsx . . CR ANTON. PA.. SATURDAY MORNING. JUNE 18. 1898. TWELV&AGE.S. TWO CENTS. CADIZ FLEET WILL GO TO PORTO RICO War Department Officials Are Satisfied as to Its Destination. General Miles Interviewed Nayy Officials Are Puzzled at the Failure of the Effort to Exchange Hobson and His Crew Dewey's Report Indicates That Manila Has Fallen. Waehlngton, June 17. The return of General Miles to Washington from Tampa today had an Inspiring effect upon the wur preparations, the general had a busy day calling upon Secretary Alger, consulting tho chiefs of the , staff departments and giving the de partment the benefit of his observa tions at Tampa. Secretary Alger said that he wan entirely satisfied with the condition of tho troops as reported by Gencrnl Miles and wisned that he had the means to provide every one of the volunteer soldiers a dally surf bath euch as was enjoyed by the men at Tampa. Genera) Miles is yet to have a conference witji the president. In the meantime the plans are moving for ward steadily for sending further ex peditions both to Porto Rico and Cuba. There is lfttlc llkllhood that a second cxpedltloij of five thousand men to re inforce General Shafter nt Santiago will leave within the next few days, as has been reported. The necessity of Fending three additional forces Is ques tioned by hlgli military officials, and moreover the means of transporting Buch a force arc not nvallable. The main consideration just at present Is the equipment of an expedition of greater dimensions than any hereto fore discussed, with Porto Rico as the objective point. A month ago the military authorities were satisfied that a small force would bo sufficient to occupy Porto Rico, as the Spanish force there did not exceed 5,000 or 6,000 men. Now, however, the Spanish garrisons have been reinforced nnd the defences strengthened and it is believed a much larger invading army will be required. Moreover, the officials were satisfied on learning today that tho Cadiz fleet had sailed, that the ships would go to Porto Itlco, rather than to Cuba, If they crossed to this side. It was pointed out that this move would be the natural strategic one for the Span ish commanders to take, as there was still something left for them to save in Porto Rico. GENERAL MILKS INTERVIEWED.' General Miles would speak: only In the most general way as to prospective army movements. When asked as to recent reports that large bodies of troops were about to be concentrated at Florida points with a vlsw to starting further armies of In vasion to Cuba, Porto Rloo and else where, he said: The military campaign Is proceeding steadily toward its complete execution. The sending of one expedition or an other is but a detail, a single' part of a general plan of campaign. Of course it is more or less right to say that the troops are about to be forwarded and that expeditions will be equipped and sent. That almost goes without fay ing, for when we entered upon war, an THE PHILIPPINE REBELS HUMANE Admiral Dewey's Report of the Sllua lion at Manila. THE INSURGENTS HAVE ALREADY TAKEN 2.000 SPANISH PRISONEUS WHOM THEY TREAT WITH KINDNESS-TWELVE MERCHANT VES SELS ARE ANCHORED IN THE BAY AT MANILA WITH REFUGEES ON BOARD. Washington, June 17. The navy de partment has received the following from Admiral Dewey: Cavlte, June 12, via Hong Kong, Juno 17. There Is little change In the situa tion since my telegram of June 3. In digent contVnue hostilities and have practically surrounded Manila. They have taken 2.M0 Spanish prisoners whom they treat most humanely. They don't In tend to take the city at the present tlm. Twelve merchant vessels arc anchored In the bay with refugees on board under guard of reutral men-of-war; this with my permission. The health of the squadron continues excellent. The German commander-in-chief arrived today. Three German, two British, one French, ono Japanese men-of-war now In port. Another German man-of-war Is expected. The following Is a correct list of the Spanish vessels captured and destroyed:, Destroyed Two protected cruisers, live unprotected cruisers, one transport, ono serving vessel, both armed. The following were captured The transport Manila anil the gunboat Call.io. CUBAN REFUGEES. Sixteen Arrive on Hie British Stcnm Klilp .Mjrrtledcne. Philadelphia, Juno 17. The nrltlsh steamship Myrtledeue, from Sagua, Cuba, which anchored In the Delaware river below the mine lields IubI night, arrived at this port today. About six teen refugees were on board the ves- aggressive campaign was formulated and approved, which contemplated the sending of expeditions nnd their co operation toward the successful prose cution of the ar. Just when these ex peditions will move, and how many men will accompany them, It Is not de sirable to say now, but It is enough to state that the campaign now entered upon Is to be prosecuted with the ut most vigor until the end of tho war." The navy officials are somewhat puz zled at the failure of the effort to ex change Hobson and his crew just an nounced from Havana. Of course this Is not permanent, but simply means that the Havana authorities as yet have not been authorized to exchange pris oners. The report that came from Madrid was that tho exchange had been authorized, so it is surmised that the Spanish government hns not yet found means of communicating Its decision to General Blanco at Havana. Some of the naval officers nre putting on long faces over tho projected promo tion of Hobson to the rank of lieuten ant commander. Not that they object to his reward, but they feel that it Is hard that some means could not bo found to do this without practically Injuring the 210 officers whom he will jump. DEWEY'S REPORT. Dewey's report of June 12 from Cavlte was food for n. good deal of dlseutalon today at the navy depart ment. Taken In connection with the press reports It would seem to Indi cate that Manila probably has fallen by this time. One phrase used by the admiral that "they do not Intend to take the city at the present time" war rants the belief that ho has reached a perfect understanding with the Insur gent leaders and that tho town Is not to bo attacked until his own troops arrive. For some reasons It Is ex tremely desirable that such should be the case, and that Dewey should re ceive the mirrender of the town in person rather than force the Spaniards to surrender to tho Insurgents and thereby afford a possible pretext for the interference of some of the Euro pean powers whose whips nre gathering in suspiciously large numbers in Man ila bay. The Cadiz lleet Is being narrowly watched, although the naval view Is not similar to that taken by the army officers. The former do not attach as much Importance to this lleet as the latter and few of the officers can be found to believe that the ships will ever venture far from the Spanish coant much less attempt to cross the Atlantic or go to the Philippines. The list of vessels In this lleet Is rather formidable In sound, but as a matter of fact It Includes not more than two up to date modern war vessels, ex cepting the niall torpedo gunboats. It Is certainly the opinion of the naval officers here that if Dewey had the Monterey with him he would have no difficulty In repulsing the whole Span ish force, while the Cadiz lleet would only afford pastime for Sampson's stnel bull dogs. sel. The government officials have de tained six of them on suspicion that they are Spaniards and therefore ene mies of this country. They will be held on board the ship, pending an Investi gation as to their Identity. The other refugees left for different points today. The Myrtledeno brought a cargo of 17.000 bags of sugar and a large quan tity of cigars. The cigars are consigned to Euro pean firms. .''lore Collegu Recruits. Philadelphia. June 17.

The testimony of most of tho witness es called today corroborated tho state ments made by Miss DeKnll) on the witness stand as to tho movements of Clemmer and herself on the day and night of the murder. D. E. Hutchinson, nn Insurance agent, testified that on March 16, 1R, nbout two months before Kaiser was married, he made out an application for $1,000 Insurance on tho life of Mrs. Kaiser. The policy was not Issued, and Hutchinson gave no reason why It was not. Other witnesses were called who testified to the appearance of the spot where Mrs. Kaiser was shot, and nlso to tho finding of articles of which Kaiser said he had been robbed. No important testimony was brought out at tho afternoon session. Portions of the statement made by Lizzie De Kalb were corroborated by other wit nesses. Court then adjourned until tomorrow.

Senor Sagasta, replying In tho cortes todny to a ques tion as to whether Manila had fallen, replied In the negative, but he added that the situation there was of tho gravet character. The dispatches from Madrid agree that this statement together with the report that the rebels are attacking the walled city, has caused Intense de pression. Japan, according to a special dis patch from Shanghai, is sending addi tional warships to Manila, and It Is re ported at Shanghai that the American troops have nrrlved nt Manlln. Special dispatches from Hong Kong, confirming the dispatches to the Asso ciated Press from Manila, add also the rumor that Captain General Au gust's wife and family nre held as hostages at Cavlte. From the same source comes the re port that Tondo, capital of the prov inces of Tondo, on the Pnslg, nearly opposite Manila, has been the scene of a great flic, presumably from the Ig nition of the petroleum works. . .

THE GOVERNOR BEES EVERY MAN IN PENNSYLVANIA COMMAND AT CHICK AM At OA, FALLS CHURCH AND NEWPORT NEWS-HAS PRO CURED THE ADDRESS OF EVERY FAMILY IN THE STATE DESIRING RELIEF. Unrrlsburg, Pa., June 17. Governor Hastings nnd party returned todny from a tour of the Pennsylvania troops in the south. They visited the camps nt Chlcknmauga nnd Falls Church, Va., and Batteries A nnd C nt Newport News. The governor had ar ranged to Inspect the Third regiment at Tampa, but when he reached Chat tanooga he was Informed that the troops were already on transports for Santiago and that ho could not see them. Much to his surprise yesterday he was informed by Secretary of War Alger that the regiment had disem barked. Had he known this a day ear lier ho would have gone to Tampa. The governor saw every man in ev ery Pennsylvania command nt Chlck amauga, Falls Church and Newport News and requested the commanding officer of each company to furnish him the name nnd address of every family In the state that is suffering by rea son of their support going to war. Ho brought with him the names of a considerable number of those who need assistance. These nre considered con fidential and will be furnished to the Pennsylvania sanltury commission, and by that body to the local relief organizations through the state. The governor nlso arranged with the com manders of all the Pennsylvania or ganizations In the field to furnish him from time to time with the names of tho families of soldiers that need sup port, and they will be taken care of as long as they are In the service. If any family represented by a Pennsyl vania soldier in the field comes to want or distress It will be because the soldier himself will not make It known confidentially to his commanding of ficer. IN GOOD HEALTH. The health of the Pennsylvania troops Is uniformly good. There Is very little sickness In any of the camps. The governor did not find over eight serious cases In all the Pennsylvania regiments. Of course, theio is the usual per centage of slight Illness from over heating, over exertion and similar causes. All have been vaccinated and there are many sore arms. The army ration gives general satisfaction. The governor did not hear a single com plaint about food In apy of the camps. The water supply at Chlcknmauga Is excellent and of a good quality. Water for drinking and cooking purposes at Camp Alger seems to be fairly plenti ful and theere is no lack of good water at New-port News. None of the regi ments have as yet been fully equipped. Arms are lacking and In many cases uniforms and shoes aro needed. Every day there are received at Chlckamauga Invoices of uniform and equipments which nre promptly distributed to the troops. Pennsylvania soldiers do not suffer by comparison with the troopfl of other states. Dally drill for a month hns worked a wonderful change. The men have settled down to tho daily routine of a soldier's life. They nre working their way and when hostilities begin In earnest they will uphold the honor of the Keystone state. The governor was received with great enthusiasm nmong the officers and men in the camps of the south. The Pennsylvania soldiers were glad to see him and listen to his kind words of advice. He was shown much attention by the commanding officers at Camp Alger and Thomas and was assured by them that hl visit will stimulate the Pennsylvania soldiers to even greater activity than was here tofore shown. The governor was accompanied by Senator J. Henry Cochran, of Wil llnmsport, member of the nation and state sanitary eonimlralon. Colonel Wilbur F. Reeder. of Bellefonte, assist ant adjutant general, Thomas Porter, of Philadelphia, assistant quartermas ter general, Private Secretary Lewis E. Beltler and George M.

Given, chairman of the Jeffersonlan Democratic state committee, when asked his views today on the Penn sylvania political outlook, said: "My nnme does not appear as one of the signers to the circular letter Issued by the recent Sound Money Demo cratic conference. I am not clear that this Is the time for Independent notion by anv element of the Democratic party. To my mind the supreme ques tion before the voters of Pennsylvania Is that of preventing the election of a governor and legislature that will be the personal property of Senator Quay. All other questions can wait. I hon estly and sincerely hope that the Democratic state convention at Al toona will give us a platform on which every opponent of Quayism may be able not only to stand but to lend aid to the ticket there nominated. Im mediately nfter the Altoona conven tion I will call a meeting of the state committee of the Jeffersonlan Demo cratic party." Ccuuivlvniiiii Pensions. , Washington. June 17.

As the time forthc Democratic state convention ap proaches there seems to be a foiling among the local Democrats that fac tional differences will be buried ns far ns this city Is concerned and that a united delegation will be on the floor of the convention. There Is some talk among the lenders regarding tho pint form, and tho opinion is held by many that references to the National Issues Will be slight. It has lien said that a number of the leaders have approved the following plank for the platform, and ore of the opinion that It will bo adopted, with, perhaps, some unim portant amendment: "The Democrats of Pennsylvania, In convention assembled, while maintain ing their Individual convictions on Na tlonnl affairs, recognize at this time the paramount necessity of securing to the citizens of this state on honest nnd economically administered government of tho affairs of the commonwealth, and call upon nil llberty-lovlng citizens to unite to rid the state of the selfish and corrupt cabal which exacts tribute alike from the people nnd the corporatons, without regard to the Individual rights of y "tfiic or the cotporate rights of thi ''" and we appeal to n united and agKresslve Democracy to mnke common cause with those citizens of the state who aro sseeKIng to rid Penn sylvania of Quayism."

Aguinaldo, the Insurgent leader, has Issued a proclamation call ing upon the natives to assemble at Cavlte on June 12. and inviting the Americans to be present at the cere mony of a declaration of Indepen dence. Incessant skirmishing goes on In the vicinity of Malabar, Santa Mesa and Malate. The Spaniards are making desperate attempts to regain their lost positions. Under American orders, the Insurgents are holding and playing elu sive tactics that are cruelly exhaust ing to tho Spaniards. Today 300 native Carabineros desert ed to the insurgents. They were orig inally disarmed by the captain gen erel, but recently were given their arms again. AUGU'STI'.S FAMILY CAPTURED. London, June IS. The Hong Kong correspondent of tho Tithes says: "According to Manila advices, dated June 13th, and brought here by II. M. S. Linnet, the rebel have captured the I family of Captain Genera! Augustl. "In most cases the desertions of the i native regiments have been accom 1 panted by a massacre of the officers. ' It Is reported from Shanghai that the i Spanish archbishop from Manila has I arrived there by the German troop I ship Daimstadt." London, June 17. The Spectator, commenting on the significant assem bling of German warships at Manila says: "Emperor William, of course, means nothing but friendly observa tion. Would it not be expedient, how ever, to send a couple of cruisers at Manila to join In the friendly obser vation nnd to reinforce Admiral Dewey if attacked?" CONGRESS PROCEEDINGS.

The general deficiency bill and conference report upon the District of Columbia appro priation hill occupk-d the attention of the house today. The litter will bo disposed of tomorrow.

The foreign relations committee, through Mr. Davis, the chairman, to day reported faorably to the senate the Newlund resolution for the annex ation of the Hawaiian Islandp.

SERIOUS PLIGHT OF GEN. AUGUSTI Indications That the City of Manila Has Fallen by This Time, as Dispatches of June 13 Show That His Means of Defense Were Nearly Exhausted The Cadez Fleet Departs for Unknown Destination Minister of Marine is Satisfied With the Fleet. Madrid, June 7.-8 p. in. Tho follow ing dispatch from Manila, signed by Captain General Augustl nnd dated June 13, Is published officially: "The grave situation set forth In my dispatch of June 8 continues. The troops nre fighting on the line of block houses, which stops the enemy's ad vance. "The enemy has been strengthened by desertions of the native troops.whlch diminish our means of resistance, and may compel me to take refuge within the walled city. "Communication with the provinces Is still cut off, and I do not know whether the detachments there will be able to hold out against a lack of re sources. "I hope to receive assistance from the peninsula before our means of de fense are exhausted." Great secrecy Is maintained here In regard to the destination of Admiral Camara's fleet. Refore the departure of the Spanish warships Captain Aunon, the minister of marine, held a council of war with ADMIRAL SAMPSON HIGHLY PLEASED Thursday's Bombardment ol Santiago Effective.

While Rear Armlrnl Snmpson, on the bridge of the llagshlp New York, watched the bombardment of Santiago de Cuba this morning, he saw two guns of the eastern battery ap parently In position. He stopped the New York as she was goins'baok to her blockading position nnd personally di rected the firing ot tha eight-Inch guns at those marks. In the admiral's general orders for W:t- bombardment, ks-ued last nUht, occurs the iiillowirg paragiuph: "Fire will be deliberate, and after the batteries 'are silenced It vill be care fully directed to their destruction. Am munition will not be thiown away. Careful Instructions will lie given to tluj gun captains not to fire unless they can see their mark, which. In this case, will be the enemy's guns" These instructions wre so well car ried out that Admiral Sampson, nfter the bombardment, said: "I do not be lieve there Is much left of the western battery. It got a great hammeiing this morning. The eastern fortlficu tion were hauler to hit. 1 think some ot the suns we see there are qttakers. 1 wish Hobson and his fellows v. ere not In Morro Castle. We would knock that down were it not for that reuon. I suppose the Spaniards deseitod thel guns soon alter our lire opened. It would not do them any good to stay I lie re." If It Is true that ships' guns have bei'ii mounted on the Spanish batter ies It will be irost significant, for it will show that Admiral Ccrvera has given up hope of ever getting out of the trap which Admiral Sampson guards. After the decks hixl bec-n washed down nnd '.he guns cooled. Admiral Sampson set this signal- "The firing on the western battery was exceedingly good, especially that of the Texas."

Havana, June 17. The following Is a Spanish report of tho bombardment of Santiago de Cuba: "On June 16, nt 3 a. in., fire was opened upon the coast batteries of Santiago de Cuba by four American battleships, two Ironclad cruisers and u protected cruiser, while one yacht opened fire opposite Aguadores Bench. The cannonade was violent and fear ful nnd lasted one hour nnd -a half. The Americans fired over 1,000 projec tiles and temporarily disabled two Hontorla cannon at La JCocapa, cover ing them with earth. The parapet was destroyed by a shell. One cannon of Morro Castle was damaged by tho American projectiles. All the damages were repaired today. "The Americans suffered severe dam age. Shells from the Spanish batteries were clearly seen to fall on the Amer ican shins, which were approximately two miles off. "The Spanish losses nt the Morro were one artillery corporal killed and one second lieutenant, Juan Arbol, eight soldiers and two .sailors of tho watch service wounded. "At the Zocapa battery two artillery sailors wore killed and Second Lleuten ant Itrusqulta of the navy and six sol diers were wounded. "The Spanish ships were unharmed.
