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.

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.

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.
