A Rumor States That the German War
ship Has Been' Sunk.
NEW YORK, July 19. A well defined rumor
was afloat at midnight to the effect that the German
Gunboat Irene had been sunk by Admiral Dewey,
while attempting to run the blockade in Manila bay.
She had been previously warned, as this was not her
first interference.
GEKTOY REPORTED
TO BE QUIETING D0W(J
Manila Has Been Completely Blockaded Insurgents are
Anxious to Begin the Attack Second American
Expedition Has Not Yet Arrived.
Hong Kong, July 18.- Beports brought
from Manila by steamer state that as a
result of a correspondence between
Dewey and the admiral of the German
squadron, growing out of the incident
in Subig bay, the actions of the Ger
mans are now such as to greatly lessen
the tension which their conduct created
among the American fleet.
General Anderson has had several
companies out traversing the country in
the vicinity of Augusti'a garrisons, fa
miliarizing the men with the character
of the country and getting them accus
tomed to the conditions under which
the Insurgents are fighting.
A complete blockade is in force, and
supplies in the besieged city are grow
ing alarmingly scarce. Agninaldo sent
one of his aides to August! Friday with
the proposition that the captain-general
surrender or he would bombard the city.
Augusti was told that it was only by
the exercise of the severest discipline
that the insurgents were held in re
straint, ' and if a general, attack were
commenced Aguinaldo would not be re
sponsible for any acts committed by his
followers.
A proposition was made to submit the
question of the independence of the
Philippines to the powers, after sur
render, under republican form of gov
ernment. Augusti'a reply is alleged to
have been the statement that he would
have to fight, no matter what the conse
quences. The insurgents are bringing alt their
artillery from various parts of the
island and placing their guns in the
most advantageous positions about Ma?
nilla. The insurgents are becoming
very impatient over the delay in order
ing an attack on Manila, and fighting is
now expected to begin at any moment.
The Second American expedition has
not arrived yet, and it may be decided
to await the coming of General Merritt
before beginning operations.
When the steamer left Manila a Span
ish ship had just been brought in by the
insurgents, on which a Chinese crew
bad mutinied. All the Spanish officers
had been killed.
' An incident which shows the kind of
timber of which Admiral Dewey is made
had just occurred. The German gun
boat Irene attempted to pass the block
ade, and, on being hailed, paid no 'at
tention whatever to the warning. A
shot was fired across her " bow and a'
small boat from one of the American
warships went -aboard to inquire as to
what were her intentions. The Ger
man admiral protested that warships
had a right of free entry, which Dewey
informed him would not be entertained.
It is reported that the admiral in
quired of the of the British captains
what he would do if the Germans had
trouble in the harbor. The reply of the
Britisher is said to have been, "Only
Dewey and myself know."
RELIEF EXPEDITION
CALLED FOR
Hundreds of Miners Will Stare on the
Copper River if Steps Are Not
Taken to Aid Them.
Seattle, July 18. Captain .Amber
crombia, U. S. A., recently returned
from Valdes, Copper river, has filed an
official report 'saying that hundreds of
miners are stranded on Copper river
and will starve or freeze to death the
coming winter if the government toils to
send a relief expedition. The men have
lost their outfits trying to navigate
Copper river, or in the terrible ava
lanches at Valdes glacier. '
The DIseoTery of tbe Day.
Aug' J. Bogel, the leading druggist of
Shreveport, La., says: "Dr. King's
New Discovery is the only thing that
cures my cough, and it is the best seller
I haye." J. F. Campbell, merchant of
SafFord, Ariz., writes : Dr. King's New
Discovery is all that is claimed for it;
it never fails, and is a sure cure for con
sumption, coughs and colds. I cannot
say enough for its merits.'' Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption, Colds
and Couichs is not an experiment. It
has been tried for a quarter of a century,
and today stands at the head. It never
disappoints. -Trial bottles free at Blake
