in the Ladrone group, which
and which are about 1500 miles from Manila and 300 from
Honolulu.
The chief city of Guahan is exceedingly well fortified
for such a small place, and affords one of the best harbors
and coaling stations in the Pacific. About six months ago
the fortifications were strengthened by the Spanish to pre
sent formidable resistance is case of attack.
The post says the United States will seize the group and
use Guahan for a Pacific coaling station in addition to any
Others she may desire. The Charleston, the Post continues,
was ordered to wait at Honolulu for the first fleet of trans
ports that left the city and to
It is asserted that the artilery which went on the Pekin
was really intended to garrison the fortifications at Guahan,
and after quiet is restored and the islands are under control
of the United States that the Charleston, with the transports,
will go to Manila.
It is said that the Monadnock will not stay at Honolulu
but proceed to the Ladrones

Off Santiago, via Kingston. Jane 8. 'J
Communication between Caba and
the outer world was severed yesterday.
The Kingston-Santiago cable was cat on
Monday, and the Haytian cable running
into Gnantanamo was cat yesterday.
The ends were buried, and Sampson can

The Marblebead yesterday engaged
and drove a Spanish ganboat into Gn

insurgents co-operated on the land side.
The place is being held until troopu at

The Marblebead on Monday, when
' the insurgents had pressed forward west
f Santiago, shelled the Spaniards, who
fled to the mountains, checkering the
path followed in their retreat with dead
and wounded.
Santiago is on the verge of starvation.
' All the food has been seized for the
army and navy, and troopB are on half
rations. ...
Sampson baa officially declared that
. the purpose of the bombardment of
Santiago was to clear the way for the
troops. The object has been attained.
He personally commended Ensign Palm
er for approaching within 150 yards of
the Spanish battery at night, and learn

CAPTAIN OF TEXAS
MAY HAVE FALLEN
Madrid Dispatches Say a Spanish Shell
Killed Him Report Unconfirmed
and Discredited at Washington.
New Yoek, June 8. A special cable
dispatch from Madrid says that in the
course of Monday's cannonading at San
tiago Captain Phillips, of the battle-ship
Texas, was killed by a Spanish shell.
There is nothing in the other dispatches
to substantiate the report, and it is not
generally credited here.
Washington, June 8.--The president
received a ' press dispatch to the effect
that Captain Phillips, of the ba'tleship
Texas, has' been killed by a Spanish
shell at Santiago. He said there was no
reason to believe it true, and cited
Sampson's official dispatch announcing
no casualties.

SPAIN DEMANDS
RELIEF FOR MANILA
Spanish People Call Upon the Govern
ment to Dispatch Troops to the
Philippines Immediately.
London. June 8. The Madrid corre.
spondent of the Standard says :
1 Liberal calls upon the government
to take steps promptly to satisfy public
opinion, which is clamoring for the im
mediate dispatch of a relief expedition
to assist Captain-General Anguetin in
forcing the Americans to leave Manila.
This alone, the paper argues, would pat
a stop to the spread of agitation among
the natives of Luzon. The nation, says
1 Liberal, has remained patient only
because it was believed that the govern
ment would arrange such an expedition.
Imparcial advocates a similar course,
insisting that the fate of Spanish rnle in
the Philippines could In this way be
ea:ly decided at Manila.
El Heraldo is even more energetic in
its calls on the cabinet to act before it is
too late. The press campaign is evi
dently intended to exercise pressure
upon the government to have the fleet
receive final instructions, which are
hourly expected by Admiral Camara.
Reports from the Philippines state
the Spaniards, thanks to the promises
of reformers and the energy of the local
authorities, have succeeded in checking
the propaganda of Aguinaldo, who nd
mits that he has not met with the sup
port which he expected from the
natives. - '
Tne Americans have been preparing
defenses at the month of the bay ever
since the Spanish' authorities set the
rumor afloat among the natives that
relief expedition was on the way and
was expected shortly.
The religious orders and the parochial
clergy are rendering powerful assistance
to Captain-General Angdstin, with the
object of supporting the efforts of the
orders in Madrid to deter the govern
ment in granting reforms likely to
trench upon their privileges and the in
floences they exert in the archipelago.
Senor SagaBta is ' maneuvering very
dexterously and refraining from giving
any pledges either- to the friars or the
reformers, on the plea that under the
circumstances they must be postponed
until the end of the war.
ENGLAND MAY
HAVE TO FIGHT
Secretary of the British Consulate at
San Juan Grossly Maltreated and
Banished From Porto Rico.
New York, June 9. A copyrighted
special from St. Tbomae to the Evening
Journal says :
Suspected of having furnished the
United States with information regard
ing San Joan harbor, Walter Bett, sec
retary of the British consulate at that
port, has received bis passports and has
been banished from Porto Rico by order
of Governor-General Mancias. '
Bett was imprisoned in a dungeon for
fifty-six hours, and during that time he
was subjected to gross maltreatment.
British Consul-General Crawford has
made a formal protest to his govern
ment, and serious international compli
cations are imminent.
THE ANNEXATION
OF HAWAII
President McKinley will Recommend
Immediate Action Toward the
Annexation of These Islands.
Washington, Jane 9. The president

senator who was in consultation with
him today the submission of a special
message to congress calling for the im
mediate annexation of Hawaii as a mil
itary necessity. V

HEAVY SPANISH
LOSS AT MANILA
Details of the Recent Battle With the
Insurgents.
London, June 7. A dispatch to the
Times from Manila, referring to the
fighting May 30th and June 1st says :
The Spanish loss in killed and wound
ed and prisoners was heavy, but the
most serious feature of all for the Span
ish is the defection of hundreds of na
tives. The Spaniards are endeavoring
by every means to win over . the rebels,
who are attracted by promises of pardon
and high offices.. But Aguinaldo's at
traction is stronger. He has completely
surrounded Manila by cutting the rail
roads and holding the rivers by 'which
food had previously reached the city.
If the city is not starved into surrender
the rebels may carry it, having an in
creasing number of rifles and field guns.
Aguinaldo'streatmetit of Spanish pris
oners is exemplary. Few excesses are
reported, except where priests were mu
tilated betore being killed. Admiral
Dewey is not assisting the rebels, and
it is probably owing to bis presence that
Aguinaldo's forces avoid excesses.
REINA MERCEDES
DESTROYED
Thirteen-Inch Shell Fiom the Oregon
Did Terrible Execution.
New York, June 7. A Bpecial from
Cape Haytien says that while the old
Spanish cruiser Relna Mercedes was at
tempting to clear the channel of the
Merrimac wreck she was discovered by
the battleship Oregon, who fired a 13
inch shell, landing squarely abaft the
pilot boose of the cruieer, tearing her
upper works to shreds. Many of her
officers and crew were killed or wounded
and the vessel so badly damaged that
Admiral Cervera ordered her abandon
ment about noon.
TWO STEAMERS TO

With the Expedition.
8an Francisco, June 9. It is an
nounced that the Morgan City and Sen
atorwillbe "'to the transports for
the second Manila expedition, to sail on
Wednesday next.
The Nebraska regiment will probably
go with the expedition. The field guns
of the Omaha battery will be moved to
the ships today or tomorrow. One gun
on each ship will be installed on deck
for the purpose of defense.
A ice machine with a capacity of two
and one-half tons a day will be sent to
Manila in a few days in charge of three
competent machinists.
AMBITIOUS PLAN
OF GERMANY
Coaling Stations to Be Dotted From
Morocco to the Levant.
Londos, June 9. The Madrid corres
pondent of the Daily News says Ger
many intends to. dot coaling stations
from West Morocco to the Le
vant. . The Spanish government has
been approached on the subject. If cor
nered, Spain might lease a station in the
Balearic islands in return for Germany's
good offices. By leasing she would
avoid wounding national pride.
