It would have been impossible to get

It was Admiral Cervera. The marines

The ships arc to sail as soon as they
can coal and supply. It will not be
required, in the case of tho southeast
ern vessels, to come north, which
would mean the loss of several days,
but they will start directly from tho
points whero they uro now located.
The older provides that oach ship
shall make her way across the Atlan
tic to a marine rendezvous, which will
be designated in sealed orders to pre
vent its exposuio to tho slightest isissi
blo danger from tho enemy, and tho
moat that is known is that it will be
at some point off tho Spanish coast. It
probably will not bo long after thut
before tho American squadron will be
in full pursuit of Camara with his
remnant of the Spanish navy. Mean
while, the gathering of tho American
fleet off the Spanish ports is expected
to havo a sobering effect upon tho in
flamod people.
Troops Ashore.
Washington, July 9. Tho navy de-
partment has received the following
cublegrii m:
''Cavite, via Hong Kong, July 9.
Tho United Stales tnsips havo landed
and are comfortably housed at Cavite.
The insurgents are active. Aguinaldo
proclaimed himself president of tho
revolutionary republic on July 1.
"DEWEY."
As the dispatch makes no mention
of trouble with Germany, the resirt
that he had tired on a German vessel
is pronounced baseless. No ud vices
conic huve reached a cable station since
July 8.
Still Another Sunk.
Washington, July B, Admiral
Sampson telegraphs the navy depart
ment as follows, under date of July 0,
from the flagship New York, off Sun
tiagoi "About midnight lust night tho dis
mantled Spanish cruiser Reins Mer
cedes w.i- seen by the Massachusetts,
which vessel hud u searchlight on the
channel, coming out of tho harbor of
Santiago. Tho Massachusetts and
Texas opened Are, and tho Spanish
vessel was sunk opposite Ksttella cove.
I am inclined it was the intention to
sink her in tho channel and thus block
tho harbor entrance. If so the plan
was defeated by tho flro of the Bhips,
us she lies on tho edge of the shore."
Country Around Manila Flooded.
London. July 9. Tho Hong Kong
correspondent ol tho Daily Mail says:
The whole country within a radius of
18 miles of Manila is flooded. General
Monet's arrival ustonished everybody.
He reported that bis soldieis, whom
ho had deserted, were starving and
surrounded by thousands of rebels. He
was ordered back to Pampagna.
Hong Kong, July 9. Tho British
oollier F.ddic, from Manila July 3, ar
rived today. It reports that no attack
has been made upon the town up to
tho time of leaving. Four German,
three British, two French and one Jap
anese warships were at Manila.
No Brutality by Cuban.
Washington, July 9. Tho war de
partment has posted the following dis
patch from General Shatter, received
in response to an inquiry as to the
reported killing of Spanish prisoners
by Cubans:
"The dispatch as to the killing of
prisoners by Cubans is absolutely false.
No prisoners huve been turned over to
them, and they have shown no dispo-
siiion to treat mnlly Spaniards who
have fallen into their hands.
"SH AFTER."
Miles Goes to Cuba.
Washington, July 9. General Nel
son A. Miles, commanding the srmy,
