Cable communication between GuanU- nania and Washington was re-established yesterday. Hereafter messaged can be received 15 minutes after they ire filed. Latent advices from Manila are U the effect thai the insurgents have proclaim ed a provisional government and that a declaration of independence renouncing Spanish authority has been adopted. The insurgents' government will not op pose an American protectorate or occupa tion. It is believed at sabing-ton that the transports conveying the first expedi tion of trooiw have arrived at the Philip pines. It is reported that General Shafter's ex pedition has arrived off Santiago and that debarkation has probably already beeun. The work of debarking the troops will require several days. The Cubans are extremely active. Gen eral Garcia with 4,000 troops is near Kan tiatro. His troops are within 40 miles of the city. The General is very entbu siastic and says the Spaniards are starv ing and cannot hold out long. lie be lieves that the war in the island will end in a few months. The Spanish government has refused to consider proposals for the exchange of Hobson and his gallant crew, who are confined in Morro Castle, where they are used as a shield against the American warships. Tuesday the flag on Morro was placed at half-mast. The significance of this is not known. Possibly some Spanish officer was killed in the bom bardment of the night previous, though some officers of the squadron believe that it was a notification to the Americans that Lieutenant Hobson and his brave men were dead. Several attempt to find landing places for the United Slates troop within a dis tamw of two miles of Santiago have dent otislrated that the shore for fifteen miles is lined with Spanish infantry and cav alry. Preparations for sending reinforce ments to Santiago and for the expedition to Porto Kioo are actively going on. A rumor reached Washington yester day that Governor-General Blanco had been shot by an insurgent. Worth Clipping sad Keeping.

BIG FIGHT1HG AT SANTI AGO FOR THE ARMY. Cadiz Fleet of 20 Shipi on the Sea. General Kile Says All Preparation! Have Been Xade. CTTBAHS ARK VALUABLE AID. Washinotos, D. C, June 17. Major General Miles, genoral-in-chief of the army, arrived in Washington to-day, after having directed the departure of the first army of invasion to Cuba. General Miles looked hale and hearty, despite the three weeks' incessant work of bringing order out of chaos in the hurriedly concentrated army. Became in response to a telegraphic summons from the Sec retary of War, who desires to go over certain phases of the campaign with him. Speaking in a general way of his ob servations. General Miles said : ''Having spent some time with the troops, during a trying p&riod of burned preparations, I am glad to say that they are a splendid body of men, which the country may well be proud of. As to the regulars, they are the finest corps in the world, without any exception, in physical development, efficiency, experieuoa, dis cipline, marksmanship, equipment and all that goes to make up first-class soldiers. Of course, the volunteer army is not as well equipped. Some of the States sent men into the field in very g.iod condition, notably, Massachusetts and New York. Others sent their quotas without arms, equipment or clothing. They were not soldiers at alL only em ployed men. "It Ukes time to make soldiers of this material. There must be uniforms, arms, ammunition, equipment, camp equipage, tentage, transportation and hospital sup plies. Then, in addition, they have to have ordnance, artillery, siege trains, en trenching tools, horse equipments, en gineering appliances of all kinds, bal loon appliances, etc After that comes the great question of moving an army across the sea, with all the dangers and vicissitudes of an ocean voyage. This work, with it infinite detail, has been carried out, I am glad to say, with fair degree of success, and the command of lu.wm men under General Shatter moved away with an outburst of patriotic en Ihiisiasin which overcame the trials they had passed through." Dynamite Gnnf at Santiago. Three shells, each conLiiningaw pounds ol guncotton, were tired Wednesday night from the dynamite guns ot the Vesuvius at the hill at the western eutrauce to San tinr i harbor, on which there is a tort. It u me first test of a dynsmite cruiser in actual warfare. The frightful execution done by those three shots will be historic. Guns in that fort had not been silenced when the fleet drew off after the attack that followed the discovery of the pres ence ol the Spanish fleet in tho harbor. In the intense darkness of the night tho Vesuvius steamed in to closo range and let go one of her mysterious missiles. There was no flash, no smoke. There was no noise at first. The pneumatic guns on the little cruiser did their work silently. It was only when they felt the shock that the men on the other warships know the Vesuvius was in action. A few seconds after the gun was fired there was a frightful convulsion on the land. On tho hill, where the Spuwi uns had withstood the missiles v i, jrdin ary ships of war, Urn t j--h. aud soil leaped high in the ai. ! .aud as iu it- ton as by u enrih iuuKu. Tenil'lc n-u-w toiled around and around .!! -.! u shaken hills aud it-hi t -: i.,,.ou s ships, far out to sea, treiu -id with the awful shock. Dust rose to the clouds ami hid the scene of destruc tion. Then came a long silence; next an other frightful upheaval, and following it a third so quickly that the results of the work of the two mingled in midair. Another stillness, and then two shots from a Spanish battery, that, after the noise of the dynamite, sounded like the crackle of tiro crackers. The Vesuvius had tested herself. She was found per fect as a destroyer. She proved that no fortification can withstand her terrible missiles. Just what damage she did could not be told from the sea. Whatever was within hundreds of feet of the point of impact must have gone to destruction. This was the first test of a dynamite cruir-er in actual warfare, and naval oil! cers are highly gratified with the results. In acquiring a dynamite cruiser the Uni ted States government established a prec edent, aud naval experts in all parts tho world have been keenly interested iu it. Washington. D.

Colon, with the Miuister on board : Alfonso Doce, Cauadonga, Antonio Lo pez, Isla Panos, Buenos Ayres and San Fraucisco left Cadiz yesterday. The first eleven passed the Kock bound for Car thugena for orders ; last three has troops on lioard." This is Admiral Camara's Cadiz fleet, and appears to be in the Mediterranean, bound for Carthagena, north coast of Africa. The Carlos V is an armored cruiser of the size of the Brooklyn or New York, her largest guns being two eleven-Inch guns, the Brooklyn and New York having eight aud six-inch guns re spectively, though surpassing the Carlos V all other armament. The Pelayo is Spain's only battleship and is tons smaller than our first-class battleships. Her big guns are two 12.5 inch guns like our second-class battleship, Texas, llor coal capacity is so small that she cannot cross the ocean alone. The Kapido and the Patrioto are the converted Hamburg American Liners; the Audaz and Osada are toi pedo boats ; the Giralda is a con verted yacht, while the others are small boats.

A very successful sally of United States marines, assisted by Cuban insur gents, was made on Tuesday afternoon upon the camp of the Spanish guei rilas who had been harrassing the American troops at GuanUnamo since last Friday. They drove the Spaniards from their po sition four miles from Camp McCalla, killed nearly half a hundred of the eue- and took eighteen prisoners. On our side the only losses were two Cubans killed. Four other Insurgents were wounded, as were two of the American marines. Tweuty-three marines were overcome by the heat during the engage ment, but were afterward picked up and restored. The camp abandoned by the Spaniards was located at the only well in that vicinity, which was filled up with stones by the Americans. After the fight the bodies f forty dead Spaniards were found about the blockhouse aud others are believed to have been carried away by their fleeing companions. The Cubans gave valuable aid as scouts on the inarch to the camp. When it was reached the marines settled down to real target practice on the Spaniards ana their work is said to have been superfine, while the shots of the enemy were wild. When the Spaniards began to flee, the little, black Cuban warriors waved their machetes and howled curses at them in savage laahion. xneir nring nau uecu about as wild as that of the enemy throughout, but they all displayed the utmost contempt for the Spanish bullets, apparently being absolutely without fear, and when the victory was won gloated over it as much as if they had . it all themselves. The reports of the officers say they have proved very good warriors so far, obeying orders so far as they could understand them and being as brave as men could be. Battering Santiago Forts. Rear Admiral Sampson's fleet bom barded the lotteries at Santiago de Cuba for the third time at daylight Thursday morning. For three hours the ships pounded the batteries at the right and left of the entrance, only sparing El Mor ro, where, Lieutenant Holison and his companions of the Merrimac are in pris on. The Western batteries, against which the main assault was directed, were badly wrecked. One was utterly destroyed. In others many guns were dismounted. At first the Spaniards replied passion ately and wildly, but bn potently. Then most of the guns were deserted. Not a ship was struck or a man injured on the American side. It is believed that the enemy's loss of life was bsavy. Under the protective fireof the Oregon, the Marblehead aud the Yoseinite, KV) American marines were landed at the eastern sideof theharborof Guantanamo on Friday, June 10, after a brief engage ment, in which a regiment of Span ish infantry was driven from its posi tion. By this stroke the American forces gained a most desirable base. They now will be able to seize the railroad which runs from Guantanamo to Caimanera, and they cau take without trouble several ships loaded with coal, now lying in the harbor, whenever the coal is needed for the Amerieau fleet. This first landing in the vicinity of Guantanamo was accomplished in broad diylight. The Spaniards made a feeble attempt at resistance, tut they were forced t flee under the heavy fire of the Ameri c in vessels. So hasty was their depart ure that when the Americans lauded a first duty was to haul down the Spanish flitc left by the enemy. In its place was placed the stars and stripes, at the sight of which the marines became wildly en thusiastic. The troops landed were carried by the transport Panther. A GREAT VAX ATLAS.

The Navy Department has now com pleted its arrangements of the Atlantic and Gulf coast patrol, and stretching from K-astport, Maine, around to New Orleans there are no less thau forty auxiliary na val craft, including swift yachts, recon structed single-turret monitors of thecivil war, tuglstats, ferryboats, and not a few large and well-armed merchantmen. These forty ships are disposed at the sev eral large coast and gulf cities, while a hundred miles or more seaward au outer picket line is maintained by four of the larger and more effective warships of the San Francisco class. One of these outer pickets is maintained as far north as Nova Scotia, and the southerly picket Is off the eastern coast of Northern Georgia. The largest number of defense vessels is at New York city, the commerce requiring protection tieing the greatest at that point. Boston, Charleston, aud all other coast points have their share of the auxiliary craft, niakiug, as a whole, a naval patrol considered ad ornate for any emergency in protecting our eastern and southern coast line. The Navy Department has prepared a map with little blue flags showing the location of each of the aux iliary ships. The flags are closely bunch ed all along the eastern and southern shores, aud give a ready answer to public ineu anxious to have their Unl coast line protected. Along with the organization o' this coast patrol the Navy Department has been making a large number of naval enlistments for this special service under the general authority of the joint resolu tion of Congress, which provides for the enlistment of a sufficient naval force t properly defend coast points. The men thus far enlisted have been of an excep tionally high grado. The enlisting offi cers have found also that while the men are technically enlisted for harbor defense service, they are willing, and even anx ious to get ints more active service on the fighting ships around Cuba. This feeling among the new men has been so noticea ble that it has convinced the department a large and valuable reserve force is lieing gathered together on the harlor defense patrol. While maintaining this patrol the naval recruits have the advantage of frequent drills, and are fast brought to a high state of proficiency as sailors. With this training they will be speedily avail able forth fighting squadron whenever there are drafts from those quarters. Highwaymen on W&eela. A wheelman of West Mtb Street, New York, was not long since attacked, rob bed and left senseless by two highway men mounted on bicycles in Ceutral Park. Repeated accounts of roblieries by men mounted upon the swift revolving wheel have appeared in the papers in vat ions pirts of the country. In each instance, so far as learned they have evaded the poli-e. Those depredators of the health, diseases of the kidneys aud bladder, will likewise in all likelihood escape arrest, and pursue their atrocious career unchecked, unless they are arrest ed in the outset by the potent interven tion of llostetter's Stomach Bitters, the finest diuretic, as well as tonic, known to modern times. The genial pre ventive named is the best known medicinal safeguard not only against renal, but also rheumatic and malarial disorders. It is at the start that disease is the more easily and completely over come. The nse of the Bitters is followed by the happiest results in cases of dys pepsia, constipation, liver complaint aud rvousuew. Secret of Froeperity. Washisoto:, June 17. The export trade of the United Slates has enjoyed an unprecedented boom during the last 11 months. According to the figures just oompilod by the bureau of statistics, the exports for these 11 months were larger than any complete fiscal year in the his tory of the country. The exports more than doubled the imports. The sum to tal of the exports was $1,1 V4s3,iilS, mak ing it apparent, says the bureau, that the ex portalious for the full fiscal year will average more than S100,0in,n00 a month. May exportations were phenomenal, be ing S!10,230,2iVi, against a monthly aver age of less than 3(,aiu,a00 in May from 1 to 1-H. The balance of trade iu onr favor in the fiscal year, which ends with this month, is likely to be more than double that of any preceding year.

N;:w York, June 17. A dispatch from Hongkong to the Evening Journal ays the most important battle since Admiral Dewey annihilated the Spanish fleet has occurred at Manila. One thonsaud Insur gents attacked 2,000 Spaniards, inflicting heavy losses and almost forcing the en trance to the city. The insurgents, under Gen. Aguiualdo and the American sailors and marines of Admiral Dewey's fleet completely sur round Manila. The foreign residents have H1 to the ships. Admiral Montojo and Gov. ( Jen. August! have placed the-women, chil dren aud the priests in the forts for safety. Gov. Gen. Augnsti is reported to be willing to surrender to the Americans iu order to prevent the insurgents from cap turing the capital, selling it on fire and killing the Spaniards. A Spanish spy has attempted to assassi nate Gen. Aguinaldo, but the plot was stopped. Aguinaldo was made very sick, but he has completely recovered. The successof the insurgents is wonder ful. TheSpaniards taken prisoners IntLe two weeks campaign aggregate 3,UU), in cluding 2,0i0 soldiers of the regular army. Prominent among them are Gens. Garcia and Cordobo. The governors of tho provluces of Ca vite, Balucatan and Batan were also made prisoners. Two million rounds of cart ridges were found in the fortified cathe dral of old Cavite. The large garrison of old Cavite has surrendered, thus giviug the insurgents command of the shore of the entire bay. All sources of supply are cutoff from the Spanish forces in Manila.
