Report That McKinley Favored Relinquishing
the Islands Causes Consternation.
HONG KONG, July 21 General Aguinaldo is known
to be in favor of the annexation of the Philippines by the
United States. A rumor that the president favored relin
quishing the islands caused consternation among the insur
gents. Aguinaldo and members of the Philippine junta ap
plied to Consul Wildman for an explanation and obtained
his positive denial of the report. Wildman also assured the
insurgents they could trust to America for a spirit of justice.
Cortes, Bosa and other wealthy families then resumed the
giving of money to buy arms and ammunion for the insur
gent army.
MILES WAITING
NAVAL CONVOYS
He Has Transports Ready to Start for
Porto Rico Sampson Ordered to
Get a Move on Himself.
Washington, July 21. General Miles
last night notified the secretary of war
that he is waiting at Gnantanamo for
necessary naval convoys. He says he
has ten transports at his disposal, and
they are probably loaded and ready to
start for Porto Rico.
Miles accuses Sampson of red tape and
needless delay. The war department at
once ordered Sampson to get a move on
himself.
The date of the departure of Watson's
squadron to attack the Spanish coast
becomes more uncertain. It is believed
now that Watson must wait nntil the
vessels for the Porto Rico expedition
are selected and perhaps until naval
operations off Porto Rico are completed.

Cervera Receives Money from Home.
. NkW York. July 20. Admiral Cervera

Madrid, July 20. Martinez Campos,
former captain-general of Cuba, has
issued an address to the people of Spain
tonight, saying that the present cabinet
must be kept in power until peace was
gained.
Speaking of Santiago, Campos said :
"Surrender was inevitable, sooner or
later. It is impossible to resist in such
a climate with ill-ted soldiers. The
Americans also suffered from the climate
but had more resources, being near their
country and could get everything they
wanted. Haying powerful artillery
they would have been irreeistable in the
end, chiefly considering that we had lost
our squadron. Santiago could do noth
ing else but surrender. Havana will
have to do the same thing, whether it
resists one month or six weeks. I am
pereuaded, however, that the purpose of
the Americans is now to get hold of Por
to Rico and to try to make good their
claims on it. -
'The Americans have etrenath and
consequently will have all. - It is im
possible to. live on the glorious memo
ries preserved in old historical parch
ments. I believe the government acted
too rashly in refusing to accept tho
American nltinaatum. I would have
waited to receive the ultimatum. Apart
from that, I am persuaded that the
Americans wanted nothing but war.
They continued to help the insurrec
tion after Spain had granted autonomy,
but punishment has arrived for the
Cubans and for the Yankees.
"The Cubans will fight the Yankees
in the end the same they fought Spain,
cruelly and relentlessly. .. They will lose
in the end but the cost tothe Americans
will be terrible."
