Busy Making Preparations for the Fight.
NEW YORK, July 22. A special to the World from Manila under date of July 18,
via Hong Kong July 21, says: ,
Everything is ready now for the word to advance on Manila. The belief is general
throughout the fleet and among the American soldiers on shore, that a demand for the sur
render of the city will be made before Sunday, the 2d. .'
The armv detachment has iust arrived from San Francisco and there are now six
thousand United States troops
stronsr enouch to take the place
Troops of the second expedition have been landed
from Manila, and have camped near the First California volunteers, who advanced to that
point last Friday. .
Admiral Dewey and the officers of the army held a long consultation on the flag
ship yesterday afternoon, after the second expedition arrived.
The American officers have been entirely around Manila familiarizing themselves
. with the topography of the region and gathering invaluable information for the command
ers. General Anderson has

CHINA IS IN A
BAD CONDITION
To the Menace of Foreign Greed is Add
ed That of Popular Discontent.
Vancouver, B. C, July 20. Advices
brought by the steamship Empress of
India regarding conditions in Japan and
China are as follows :
Dark reports coue from all over
China. Everywhere the Chinese are
becoming excited over the demands for
ports and concessions. Central China
pirticniarly is restless, and rioting has
taken place at Nine Ko. Rebellions
have broken out in Kwangsi, one in
Wachap and another in Lauchow. The
governor of Kwanzsi baa sent soldiers
to the rebellions districts. Trouble is
reported in Mauchuria. Some think
the authorities are doing all they can to
drive the people into rebellion, or, as
some say, into the hands of Russia.
Private letters speak in strong language
about the doings of the tsai-li-ti, a
powerful sect, something like the lao-hui.
These people are gathering in bands and
defying the petty local authorities.
They are strongly anti-foreign.
Eeports are circulated that China in
tends to open the island of Changbain
nen, near Canton, as a treaty port, to
prevent Germany or any other power
from gaining it. The island in question
is better known as 8t. John's. It is sit
uated to the southwest of Maco, between
that colony and the new French posses
sion of Kwang Chau. :
Chin Bok Kwa, a rebel chief of For
mosa, was enticed by Japanese officials
to surrender under a false sense of se
curity and then barbarously executed.
A Pekin telegram says that England
nag objected to the borrowing of funds
lrom Russia and Fcance for the con
struction of a railway from Pekin to
Hankow.
The important features of the treaty
just concluded between Japan and Siam
are the retention of the stipulation for
deciding by the arbitration of a third
I arty questions arising out of the inter
pretation of the provisions of the treaty
or any violation of the treatv. The last
named feature constitutes Japan's first
' acceptance of the principles of arbitra
tion in connection with any treaty.

GARCIA WILL
NO LONGER
CO-OPERATE
Claims He Has Been Mistreated by the
Americans, and Will Withdraw
Lis Forces to the Hills. .
New York, July 21. A Santiago
special to the Journal, dated July 20,
says General Garcia has written a letter
to General Shafter, declaring be is dis
gusted with his treatment at the hands
of the Americans, and will, therefore,
withdraw bis forces to the hills. Among
the things of which General Garcia com
plains is the failure of the American
commander to officially notify him o
the surrender of the Spanish force under
General Toral. He is also incensed at
the alleged fact that be was not invited
to be present at the ceremony attending
the formal capitulation of Santiago.
Another grievance is the retention of the
Spanish civil authorities in the admin
istration of their functions in Santiago.
For these reasons Garcia declares he
will no longer co-operate with the forces
under General Shafter, but will act in
dependently as be did before the Amer
ican troops landed in Cuba. '

Washington, July 22. The project
to send Commodore Watson across tbe
Atlantic bas been suspended and he will
not leave American waters at all unless
some contingency of tbe war makes
necessary sterner measures to eeek

that tbe departure of. the fleet bad been
