Sagasta Talks of Czar to Intervene Spain's Prime Minister Says the Rise in Bourse is Due to Advices in Financial Circles That Russia will Intervene at Manila. Special to Kvi:nino JIi:ram. London, June 15. A Madrid special quotes Prime Minister Sngnsta as saying that the rise in Bourse is due to a telegram advising; leading financiers that Russia Is about to intervene looking to a settlement of the Philippine Islands question. The powers fully realize that Spain's domination In the Philippines is irretrievably ended, but most of them avoid consideration of the possible annexation of the islands by the Americans. The agents of Spain in France and Germany, and even Russia, are work ing with a view to Inducing the powers to Intervene in the Philippine Islands. Perilous flission by An American Officer. Kingston, .Tnmalca, Juno 15. The do Iny In the arrival of the transports Is ascribed nmonp; tho officers and men of tho licet oft Santiago to a fear that uftor all Admiral Corvora's squadron might not bo In Santiago harbor. Oneo for all Admiral Sampson decided to settle this question officially, and on Saturday last ho sent Lieutenant Vic tor niue, of tho gunboat Suwanee, to Investigate. Lieutenant Blue landed on Saturday and proceeded with guide.) to the hills overlooking tho harbor and the city. Ho distinctly saw and defi nitely located four Spanish armored cruisers and two torpedo boat do stroyers. Ho saw also three small cruisers or gunboats. Tho results of his expedition ho re ported Monday morning to Admiral Sampson on tho deck of tho flagship Now York. Lieutenant Ditto .traveled about 72 miles, following tho east ward lino of tho city. Ho brought out to tho flagship a copy of a Santiago paper Issued last Saturday, In which complaint Is made that tho navy and nrmy are falling to distribute to tbo citizens their portions of tho provis ions remaining In the city. Lieutenant Wue's report has defi nitely exposed tho fiction thnt any o Cervera's cruisers were In tho Baha mas, or in a position to attack tho transports, which aro now confidently expected at an early date. Lieutenant Iiluo reported also that skirmishing continues in tho hills around Santiago between tho Cubans and Spaniards. Tho latter have beon repairing tho fortifications of tho city, as it is expected that Admiral Samp son will ronow the bombardment In anticipation of a possible arrival and landing of troops this week. General Callxto Garcia had beon ex pected to arrive near Santiago to re port to Admiral Sampson Monday, but It turned out that the Information upon which this expectation was based was Incorrect. As yet tho where abouts of General Gnicia Is not defi nitely known. Karly Monday morning three shots were fired from Morro fort upon tho naval pickets J-. tho line maintained at tho entrance to the harbor. Captain Kvuuh, of the Iowa, steamed within two miles of tho harbor mouth und flashed tbo Iowa's searchlight, where upon tho firing ceased. Tho Iowa 10 malned on tho watch until daybreak, and then retired. There was no fur ther firing. Monday tho dynamite cruiser Vesu vius arrived off Santiago, and It Is con fidently expected that her guns will bo used If an attempt Is made to forco tho passago of tho harbor for tho pur poso of exploding any submarine mines that may exist. Tho hospital ship Solace arrived tho same day, and left at oneo for Guantanamo. For a wonder. It Is bollovcd that tho marines at Guantanamo will bo able to maintain their position until tho long expected troops arrlvo. Dur ing tho second night attack by tho Spanish, which ended at daybreak on Saturday morning, they hold their ground against desperate odds, and tho dlscovory of tho bodies of 15 Span ish, Including a nontenant, shows how deadly was tho American defense. Tho Spanish sent 3,000 men by train from tho city of Guantanamo to attack thoni. but, pressed closo by tho Amer- Troops fur Mliutlit. Special to Kvimjino IIeualu. San Francisco, Juuo 15.

It is believed William Jcuiiiiigs Ilryau'g Nebraska regiment will bo ordered to report to (leu. Mcrritt hero and depart with the third expedition for tho Philippines. Miss Iluilim (Sues South, Special to Kvkning IIliltAM), Washington, Juno 15, Clara llartoii, of tho lied Cross, urrlvod lioro from Now York on her way to Key West, Blio will probably proceed at once to Santiago 011 tho State of Texas, This will mark tbo beginning of of operations of tho Itod Cross Society in connection with tho American laud foiees. Ican fire, tho Spanish were unable to reach tho earthworks. Tho Marble head shelled tho woods, but could not locato tho Spanish lino with accu racy. She has slnco boon reinforced by tho Dolphin. Tho Dolphin on Monday morning to taled the Spanish water station on the ocean side of the harbor entrance, which supplied the water for tho at tacking force. The well was situated In a blockhouse windmill, having a small garrison. It was shelled at 2,000 yards. Excellent practice was made, tho station was wrecked and cannistcr followed tho retreating Span lards up tbo steep ravine. Uach shell disclosed tho spot where It alighted by lalsing a cloud of dust. They wcro all well placed. On tho American side two men were killed and four Injured In tho second attack. Tho dead aro: Sergeant Major Henry Goodo, of tho marines, shot through the right breast; Private Tau iuan, wounded and fell off tho cliff and was Instantly killed. The Injured aro: Private Wallace, fell off tho cliff and sustained a fracture of tho leg; Private Martin, shot through tho loft leg; Piivate ltoxbury, shot through the arm; Private ISurko, shot through the arm. Tho first nttack of tho Spaniards was inndo at 8 o'clock and. tho last shot Was fired by them at about 3 o'clock In the morning. Lieutenant Neville, of Company D, was sent out on scout duty, and as on tho day previous, ho attacked a small stono fort. A hot fight followed, and tho Spaniards were driven off with loss. It was during this fight that Wallace and Tauman fell ovor tho cliff. Fifteen dead Spaniards, includ ing one lieutenant, were found in tha fort. During tho attack several BhoU struck tho ships In the harbor, ono penetrating the pilot house of tha newspaper dispatch boat Dandy. No one was injured on board of her. The light was tho first of tho war in which tho Cubans co-operated with tho American forces, and their com pany operation was not a glittering success. At ono tlmo during tho af ternoon whenever tho marines were firing on a small detachment of Span lards that made their appearance a short distance from the camp tho Cu bans began firing without orders, and sent a volloy right among tho Ameri cans. Thero wero several very narrow escapes, but no ono was Injured. Thus far tho marines havo had tho best of the fighting, but tho situation is gravo, and they aro exhausted with repelling almost Incessant attacks. They have little chance to rest or Bleep, and tho tlmo of tho arrival of tho relieving troops Is uncertain. Were it not for tho protecting guns of the fleet tho gallant Httlo band would bo annihilated by tho Spanish troops, in overpowering numbers, from San tiago do Cuba. As It Is, thoy prob ably can hold their positions, but thoy cannot movo forward until rolnforced by troops. A dispatch from Madrid says: Gen eral Pando, in command In tho Santi ago district nnd eastern Cuba, will Bhortly bo strongly reinforced in ordor that ho may simultaneously defeat tho rebels und provent tbo disembarkation of American troops. ltnuiiu's Itctiirn F10111 Cuba.

Special to KviiMtici Mekam. llorlin, June 15. A despatch from .Shan ghai says the Philippine insurgents are a milo and a half from Manila, which is en tirely surrounded. It is uudcrstood that the insurgents will endeavor to force tbo Spaniards to establish an independent gov ernment beforo tho American loiiiforeenients arrive. Tho Gorman Consul has transferred 300 German and Swiss rosidonts of Manila to a steamer. The Spaniards profer to capitulate to Ad miral Dewov rather than to risk tho horrors of insurgent success. The forces at Manila are incapablo of resisting insurgent attack, and the progress of tbo latter is a surprise. The fall of Manila is inevitable.
