MANILA READY TO SURRENDER.
Important International News by the
Empress From the Orient.
Vancouver. B. C, July 20. According to
advices brought by the Empress of India
from Hong Kong, the chief news of the
moment Is that Manila Is ready to surren
der. Not that the archbishop and captain-general
are going to voluntarily cap
itulate before they are compelled to do
so, but that the backbone of resistance
is unquestionably broken and upon a real
show of force and intention to bombard
the town. If the offlotals do not give In,
the Spaniards will haul down the Spanish
fUg. Intimation! to this effect are re
ceived from many sources.
The correspondent of tho Hong Kong
Press writing under date of June 23. says
the chief subject of discussion In Manila,
In Cavite and In the American fleet is the
meaning of the presence of five German
men-of-war and one transport or supply
vessel In port.
I have just Interviewed a leading Eng
lishman here on the subject. He unhesi
tatingly Informed me that all the for
eigners In Manila as well as Spaniards,
regarded It as a remarkable demonstra
tion. "I am sure," he continued, "that the
Spaniards have received great encourage
ment from such a naval display. A
S;an!ard told me today that the coming
of a large German squadron was con
st rued by him and leading Spanish offi
cials as a direct act of friendly Interest
and to warn the Yankees that they could
not go too far. Now, w hen a Spaniard of
Inlluencv. as this man was, will talk like
that. 1 think it is high time to ask what
the Germans mean by appearing here In
such force."
"I am familiar," my Informant contin
ued, "with all the German Interests tn
Manila and my relations with the Germans
aro very agreeable and I am positive that
one German cruiser would be fully able
to protect them to every extent they re
quired." Further details of the great nght of
May 1 filter through from high officials of
Manila as time passes. It now appears,
according to authentic Information In the
hands of Consul Williams, that out of 491
men on the Relna Cristina, &4 were killed;
only 12T left the ship. An officer who was
aboard and knew, tells me that a person
could not step a foot In any direction on
her decks without coming In contact with
pieces of flesh or dead bodies. Such was
the power of the American guns and the
skill of the American gunners.
Manila papers still publish monstrous
stories about the Americans, and do not
hesitate to employ the most contemptu
ous epithets, all of which are whetting
the appetites of the Americans to get even
with them for uncalled-for Insults.
More seiiures of arms are reported from
Hong Kong. It Is suspected that the
arms and ammunition were to be shipped
to the Philippine Insurgents. The selxure
consists of half a million rounds of Mau
ser ammunition, 203 breech-loading Mau
ser rifles and 113 muule-loadlng Enfield
rifle
An Englishman at Kobe wanted to pass
through the customs for shipment to
New York 122 Japanese swords, 71 spears
and seven suits of armor. The customs
authorities held consultation as to wheth
er the articles were not contraband of
war. Not being able satisfactorily to
decide the question, they wired to the
government In Toklo for Instructions.
None had been received when tho Em
press left, and the local paper sarcasti
cally remarks that probably the Japanese
government Is perplexed as well as the
customs.
Dark reports come from all over China.
Everywhere tho Chinese are becoming
excited over the demands for ports and
concessions. Central China particularly
Is restless nnd rioting has taken place at
Nlng Ko. The rebellious have broken out
In Kunngsi. Ono in Wnohnp and another
In Lauchom. The governor of Kwangsi
has sent soldiers to tho rebellious dis
tricts. Troubles are heard of in Manchu
ria. Some think tha authorities nre do
ing nil they can to drive the people Into
rebellion, or as some say, Into the hands
of Russia. Trlvate letters speak In strong
language about the doings of tho tsai-ll-
tl, a powerful sect, something like the lao
hul. These people are gathering in bands
and defying the petty local authorities.
They are strongly anti-foreign.
Reports are circulated that China in
tends to open the Island Changhalhuen,
near Canton, as a treaty port, to prevent
Germany or any other power from gain
ing It. The fctland in question Is better
known as 8t. John's. It Is situated to the
southwest of Maco, between that colony
and the new French possession of Kwang
Chau.
As indemnity for the Shashl riot, Japan
claims the right to establish separate set
tlements at Yuehow, Santu and Foo
Chow, and demands also 105.000 taels.
Chin Bok Wa, a rebel chief of For
mosa, was enticed by Japan to surrender
under a false sense of security, and ns
was then barbarlously executed.
When the Empress left Yokohama July
7. Prince Cyril Vladlmer of Russia was
expected to arrive on the Russian warship
Russia, from Vladlvostock. He will pro
ceed wHhout delay to Toklo to be received
in audience by the emperor.
Official Information has been received
I by the Japanese government from the
ICorean that Mushaho, Kunsanpo and
- Song-Jln-Pboe, In Cores, will soon be
'opened as treaty ports. The Japanese
! government will dispatch a commissioner
to investigate matters In connection with
opening the ports.
One of the native Chinese papers says
Germany being dissatisfied with Ktao
Chou as a naval station, and fearing that
it will be Injured by the proximity of the
English and Russian possessions at Wei
Hal Wei, Port Arthur and Tallen Wan
has entered Into an agreement with Italy,
It Is proposed that Italy should take over
a strip of territory 100 11 in length along
the coast of Klao Chou bay from Ger
many. These proposals having been com
municated to the Tsung-Li-Yamen, that
jbody has appointed commissioners to pro
ceed to Shantung and there determine
what the boundaries shall be between Che
German and Italian possessions.
Rumor has tt that the Russian minister
to China has demanded from the Chinese
government the privilege of constructing
a railway between Tien Tsln and Kla
kuang. passing through Chill and Kwang
sl provinces, and he is said to have pro
posed to lend troops to China in order to
prevent British aggression. In Shanhal
It Is reported that Russia also intends to
demand the lease of Kinshow in Llao
Tung.
A Peking telegram says England has
objected to the borrowing of funds from
Russia and France for the construction of
a railway between Peking and Hankow.
Two Important features of a treaty Just
concluded between Japan and Slam, are
the retention by Japan In Slam of a con
sular jurisdiction and the adoption of a
stipulation for deciding by the arbitration
of a third party of questions arising out
of the interpretation of the provisions ot
the treaty, or any violation of the treaty.
The last named feature constitutes Jap
an's first acceptance of the principles of
arbitration with any treaty.
Mr. Otan, president of the Yokohama
Tea Dealer's Association, has expressed
a strong objection to the imposition of the
tea tariff In the United States', and Is fo
menting an agitation to induce the United
States government to Impose a similar
duty upon coffee.
feared that there will be a long and
bloody resistance.
SUBMARINE MINES CONTINUED.
San Franclsc, July 20. The lighthouse)
board has Issued orders that submarine
mines la 8an Diego bay be continued la
position as a portion of the harbor de
fense. A bulletin has been published for
the benefit of marines giving its lnitruo
tions as to entering the harbor.
The light ballast point as well as th
other harbor lights will be re-established
at once.
PREPARED FOR THE STRUGGLE.
Th Spaniards Determined to Resist the
Capture of Manila.
San Francisco, July 20. A Chronicle
special from Cavite dated June 23 says:
In case of the expected bombardment of
Manila the area to which the Spaniards
may retire will be limited to the Amer
ican and Insurgent lines surrounding the
city, and the Spaniards have burrowed
into the intrenchments and fortified bills
and knolls for the final struggle.
It is known that every energy is bent
within the city to prepare It for the final
struggle. The people are exhorted by the
clergy and military authorities and their
hopes are buoyed up by false hopes of re
lief from Spain and Spanish triumphs In
the West Inlles and along tho Atlantic
coast. Augistln Is credited with an asser
tion that he can muster 130,000 troops.
No ono seriously believes that he can
marshal 20,000. The city seems as nearly
ready for tho conflict as the material In
tho hands of the Spaniards can make It.
The German fteot now there not count
ing the supply vessel, Includes tho Cor
morant, Kaiser, Kalserln AugU3ta, Irene
and Princess AVllhclmlna, and their total
weight ot metal exceeds that of any other
fleet here. The British fleet Includes the
Immortollte and Rainier, but the presence
of so many Germans Is expected to draw
other ships.
The French have the Brux and Basco
and the Jnpanese the Matsushlma. It
is freely predicted that there w1t he a
bloodless capitulation of Manila, aa It 1
' PORTO RICO OPERATIONS.
Mile Planing a Campaign Suited to tha
Conditions.
New York. July 20. A Tribune special
from Washington says:
While the details of General Miles' pla
of operation tn Porto Rico are not divuli-
' ed, it U known that they are wholly un-
like thoee necessitated by the peculiar
conditions at Santiago.
Instead of having a single city as an
objective. General Milea has got to se
cure control of an entire Island and oc
cupy a number of cities, establishing a
system ot thorough and effective govern
ment In all Its districts.
The chief city of San Juan can be only
taken by the navy In co-operation with ft
large force ashore, as It Is practically
Impregnable on Its land side. The Islam!
is a hundred miles long and forty miles)
wide and even Its most unhealthy coast
ports are seldom visited by yellow fever.
Most of the Spanish troops are gathered
at San Juan and It is General Miles' Inten
tion to rand at least thirty-eight miles
from that stronghold and occupy other
important places, while the heavy double
turreted monitors and other armored ves
sels of the navy destroy San Juan's forti
fications and compel Us surrender by bom
barding, if necessary.
If the navy part Is completed as speed
ily as scheduled In the program approved
by the war board and other authorities
here, that city will be ready for General
Brooke's occupation almost by the time
he reaches there.
General Miles' advance force consists of
three regiments of volunteer Infantry ot
General Garretson's brigade. The Sixth
Illinois, Sixth Massachusetts and light
batteries C and M ot the Seventh artillery
which started from Tampa several days
ago, are to meet him off Mole 8t, Nicho
las. These batteries are about the first la
the American army to be equipped exclu
sively with smokeless powder and were '
selected by the commanding general on
this account.
General Miles does not expect to be de
pendent upon subsistence stores forward-'
ed from this country during his campaign.
as was the case with the army in Santia
go. Porto Rico has not been devastated
by the Spaniards, and It is believed that
American gold will buy all the food there
that Is necessary for the troops.
The towns to be captured outside ot San
Juan, are small with two exceptions
Ponce and Mayagues. The former la tha
most modern and thoroughly progressiva
city In the West Indies. It has 15,000 in
habitants and Is said to 'be the healthiest
place In the island. It also contains the
only protestant church in the SpanUn,
Antilles, and In addition to Its three first
class hotels, a chamber of commerce, a
theater and a bank, possesses a perfectly
American fire department. Its harbor.
