Manila, June 80, via Hong Ko<’g
j u l y B—Th°re is »no material
change in the aspect Oi affairs here
The Spaniards are strongly posted
about the ou'skirts of the town
and also along the whole length of
the conduit of the waterworks,
eight miles inland.
It is believed the Spaniards only
ho d the waterworks on sufferance
because the it suigents’ pickets
hold away everywhere and could
easily raid and wreck the conduct.
But the insurgents are getting
anxious to conciliate the neutrals
and therefore refrain from causing
horrible privation.
The insuigents have never em*
ployed cannon before Manila, but
they are now bringing up sixty
guns witn tfceintention of making
a simultaneous rush upon the
Spanish intrtnehments at Santa
Mesa, Santa Ana and Malate,
thus rendering the other positions
of the Spaniards untentable, and
by a sing's coup drive the Span
iards inside the citadel with a min
uuun of destruction to non
cox'uatants and property. I ; s
expected that it will take a week
to bring tho guns aloug, as they
havstomuke detours through a
difficult part of the country and it
b not desirable to hurry.
The American troops are ex
pected here momentarily, and
then, probably, there will b? a
q 1 ck finish of the war
The insurgents in the la r gt
e uips at Malabon, Caloocan
Fuucieco, Marquina, San Pedr< 1
and Paranequae are in excellent
spirit* and perfectly orderly. They
ara delighted with a successful
rus» which they recently adopted
to draw the Spanish fire. Th s
method is by firing crackers in th*
w iods near the Spanish position
The exp'osions of the crackers re
semble the rattle of musketry and
causes the Spaniards to open fire
and waste their ammunition.
The insurgents allege that they
hid only cne rifle «t ihe capture
ofCalcoocnn, and they sav .hey
simply surround'd Guliguiguiu at
and fired crackers and a
few rill*», while their main force

the natives of that part of the
Country were loyal.
General Monet had a terrible
voyage. He ran the gantlet of the
insurgents along the river, and
challenged replied by pretending
to be an insurgent boat convoying
prisoners to Cavite. He was fre

TO BUE FOR PEACE.
Spain Has Had Enough War
Bdt Won’t Admit it.
AND CABTILLIAN PRIDE ’
t
Will Sacrifice Lives of Thous
ands For “Spanish Honor ”
Washington, July B—All
views on the Spanish-American
war were strongly optimistic
here today. The most significant
advise was one from Spain, stat
ing positively that within the
week their country would sue
for peace It was also declared
that iVlatinez Campos, Wey lev’s
predecessor as captain general
general of Cuba, and one of the
best and most reasonable mine’s
of Spain, is to be made prime
minister of the new Spanish cab
inet which is sure to be erected
within a few days on the wreck
of tha Sagasta cabinet.
It can be stated authoritative
ly, however, that up to this time
no overtures have been made to
ourjgovernment looking to peace.
This fact, however, does not in
any sense offset or qualify the
statement that movements in
that direction are afoot in Eu
rope.
CONSIDERED PEACE.
Ministers Directed to Study
The Situation and Report.
Paris, July B.—The Temps
thisevening publishes a dispatch
from Madrid which says that its
correspondent, in spite of the
official denials published in the
newspapers, persists in the be
lief that the Spanish caoiuet
today not only deliberated upon
the question of negotiating for
peace but charged the minister
for foreign affairs, Duke AlmoJ
dqvar, and the minister of pul lie
instruction, Senor Gamazo, to
study the matter and report up
on it.
The correspondent adds that
the pope has charged the papal
nuncio at Madrid to renew his
expressions of sympathy with
Spain ana the dynasty, and has
also ordered the Spanish prelates
to restrain the Carlists.
According to a dispatch from
Rome to the Imparcial, Emperor
Francis Joseph has declared he
will exert all his influence, with
co-operation of his two allies, to
bring about an honorable peace.
EUROPEAN PRESS URGING SPAIN
TO SUE FOR PEACE
London, July B.—The newi
papers throughout Europe are
urging Spain to sue for peace
It is generally recognized that
Senor Sagasta's cabinet will
shortly be superseded. The r’iffi
culcy in the way of peace is the
army, which is a ixious to re
trieve the failure of the navy.
WILL NOT ASK PEACE.
Madrid, July B—A Spanish
cabinet minister is quoted in an
interview as saying that the
present goverment of Spain will
devote itself solely to the defense
of the Spanish coasts and that it
negotiation* for peace must be
opened they will have to be con-
I ducted by another government.
