COM MO nous; DKWEV.
General Aguinaldo, the President, of the
Philippine insurgents, has sailed from Sin
gapore, where ho has been in exile, with
the members of his Cabinet. They char
tered their own steamship. They will land
at a convenient point on the islands, and
the General with put himself at the head
of an army of .'IO,OOO well-equipped insur
gents now gathered together and waiting
for him. The General will lead this large
force to attack Manila by land while the
American warships bombard the city from
the sea. The movements of that army in
terest Commodore Dewey and command
his s) mpathy, but he lias given the insur
gents no official aid or encouragement.
Nevertheless the two forces will co-ope
rate in fact, and should prove more than a
match for the Spaniards.
Consul Williams arrived to-day from
Manila on the steamship Esmeralda. He
was taken immediately to the flagship
Olympia at Mirs Bay. The Consul will ac
company the fleet back to Manila. He has
full information, it is believed, regarding
ing the fortifications at Manila and else
where on the Philippines, and also regard
ing tho location of mines and torpedoes
planted in the harbors.
The Spanish ships are awaiting attack in
Manila harbor, it is supposed, under the
protection of the land fortifications.
The United States squadron consists of
the protected cruisers Olympia (flagship),
Baltimore, Boston and Raleigh; the gun
boats Concord, Petrel and McOullough,
and the transports Zaflro and Manshan.

New York, N. Y.—Dr. Gonzalo Aros
tequi, of Havana, says the Spanish will
never leave that city standing if they are
compelled to evacuate Cuba. "The entire
city is undermined," he said, "and there
has been no effort to conceal this fact in
the Cuban capital. The placing of the ex
plosives have been done during the past
few weeks, and the Spanish openly assert
that if Havana is taken by the United
States they need only to touch a button and
the city will be blown from the face of the
earth. *

PLAN TO KILL M'KINLEY.
An Infernal Machine Sent to the White j
House—Guard* Doubled.
Washington, 1). C.—An infernal ma
chine was sent to the President. Fortu
nately its character was suspected and
measures taken to prevent its explosion.
The incident was carefully concealed, and
all efforts are being made to capture the
sender. There was nothing to suggest
from whom it caiue and no clue was af
forded to the man who sent it. The ma
chine was enclosed in a harmless-looking
cigar box. An ingenius contrivance had
been arranged so that when the lid of the
box was opened there would be a flash of
powder which would explode a stick of
giant powder sufficient to blow a man to
atoms.
As a result of this incident additional
measures were taken to guard the Execu
tive Mansion. The police force was doubled
and it is expected that a detail from the
District militia will form an additional out
side guard to the approaches to the White
House Grounds.

Rowan Speaks Spanish and Knows tlie
Island Thoroughly—Would l>e Treated
as a Spy.
Kingston, Jamaica, April 27.—General
Calixto Garcia, commanding the Cuban
forces in the eastern end of the island, is
now in lull possession of the United States
military plan of campaign.
He received his information from Lieut.
Alexander S. Rowan, of the Nineteenth
United States infantry, who lias succeeded
in landing 011 the coast of Cuba and reach
ing the insurgent forces.
Lieut. Rowan was ordered by tiie Secret
Service Bureau to go 011 a secret mission in
behalf of the War Department
tion was Porto Rico. Then definite or
ders were issued for him to proceed to
Jamaica, and thence across to Cuba and
endeavor to reach General Calixto Garcia's
camp, to communicate to the General tiie
plans of the United States Government.
He was also to ask the rebel leader to
make arrangements for effecting a junction
of the insurgents in Southeastern Cuba with
a probable American expedition. .
Lieut. Rowan was told to obtain infor
mation of the character of the country, and
to make maps and plans for the use of the
Information Bureau as soon as lie made a
landing.
He sailed from Jamaica on the Atlas
steamer, and reached Kingston April 15.
lie put himself at once in communication
with Mr. Dent, the United States Consul
here, and endeavbred to cross over.
Eventually an expedition was organized
through the Cuban Junta, with expert pilot
and guides, Lieut. Rowan left Stanns
Bay on April 24, at 2 o'clock in the morn
ing. He started with a good breeze and
reached Cuba last Monday morning.
His mission is one of great danger, ai d
if captured he would be treated as a spy.
The greatest precautions were exercised
here to conceal his mission. Rowan is an
expert cartographer and well acquainted
with Cuba.
As be went to Eastern Cuba, it is in
ferred that a blow will be struck there be
fore one is struck at Porto Rico. With him
he took an official Spanish map of Eastern
Cuba, with emendations made by the War
Department hydrographers. It is expected
that General Garcia will cover a landing of
the United States troops.
SUPPLIES FOR GOMEZ.
To He Delivered to Him in I'ersou By
Uncle Sam.
Washington, 1). C.—Arrangements have
been completed by the Government to sup
ply the Cuban insurgents with arms and
ammunition. Preparations are now being
made to land in Cuba from 25,000 to .'0, •
000 stand of improved Springfield rifles, a
number of artillery butteries, rapid-fire
Maxim guns and an abundance of ammu
nition for the effective use of them.
It is understood that the Government
will not deliver the arms to any person but
General Gomez in person, and he will as a
guarantee of good faith receive them.
General Miles believes that if the insur
gents are properly armed and supplied with
the artillery they have so long needed, they
can do more effective work and render the
American troops invaluable aid in driving
the Spaniards from the island.
Steamer I'uuama Taken ly I lie Mangrove.
Key West, Fla.—The big Spanish steam
er Panama was brought into port a prize by
the lighthouse tender Mangrove, She was
captured trying to run the blockade with
out sidelights. The Panama left New York
April 20 heavily laden with bacon, hams,
flour and other food supplies, hay, milling
machines, etc. She is a valuable prize.
The big steamer is four times the size of
the Mangrove, is a transatlantic liner and
an auxiliary cruiser. She carried two 12-
poumlers and a crew of seventy-two men,
and might have annihilated the little ten
der. But she made not the slightest re
sistance.
Starvation i Imminent in Hnvann.
Key West, Fla. Havana is completely
out of beef, although largo shipments are
expected from Mexico. All necessaries of
life have gone up to prices never heard of,
and if something is not done soon many
will perish of hunger. Families of means
have stored large supplies of food in their
houses.
Blanco Telln .Spain He Need* No Help.
Havana, Cuba.—('aptain-General Blan
co has cabled to the government in Madrid
to the effect that the Spanish squadron of
war ships can be utilized elsewhere, as he
can account for the defence of Havana
without the assistance of the deet.
Revolt Threatened In l'orto Rico.
St Thomas, West Indies.—Seven Porto
Rican refugees, who have arrived on the
schooner Equilante, report that Porto Rico
is suffering from famine. Americans are
in danger there, and have no protection,
in San Juan a revolution is threatened.
Homers Can't Leave While War is On.
London, Eng.—The Government has no
tified Acting Ensign Hnzelton that the tor
pedo boat Somers cannot leave Faluiouub
while a state of war exists. w
Spain's Fleet Ilan Sailed.
Washington, D. C.—The Spanish deet is
reported to have sailed from the Cape
Verde Islands. Spain's dying squadron
and that of the United States are, as is ad
mitted by the officers of the later, evenly
matched. It has been greatly strengthened
by the addition of a line battleship and a
(cruiser. The deet of the United States at
Key West is far superior to tiie one which
| Spain has brought together to defend her
home ports. The Key West deet is kept
for offensive work at Cuban ports. The
dying squadrons may meet somewhere near
l'orto Rico.
