It is reported that Rear-Admiral Dewey is unable to restrain the insur­ gents, but their conduct is satisfac­ tory. There is no necessity for inter­ ference, as no excesses whatever have been committed.

The warships opened fire at 2 P. M. and the bombardment lasted an hour and a half. The Texas steamed slowly up the channel leading to the fortifications, followed closely by the Marlbehrád.

After badly damaging the fort, the Marblehead shelled tbe earthworks and barracks at the west end of the harbor. She knocked them into the air, and when the Spaniards fled from the fort, they were shelled by the St. Paul and driven into the bushes. The Sj4in- iards fired only five shots, which did no damage. After the ships stood out into tho harbor, the Spaniards in the hushes onened fire on the Marblehead’s launch, which replied vigorously. The Suwanee then turned back and shell«.d tlie bushes, driving the Spaniards in­ land. The Marblehead’s little steam launch cleared out a detachment of Spanish bushwhackers this evening and escaped after a hot engagement of a quarter ol an hour without the loss of a man. The launch had been dragging the har­ bor near tlie forts for mines and had foumi one and was towing it back to the Marblehead when the enemy, con­ cealed in the bushes on the shore, opened a hot fire on the five men in the launch. The launch headed toward shore and begun banging away, but the bow gun finally kicked overboard, car­ rying tiie gunner with it In the mean­ time, the enemy was firing wildly. The marine was promptly rescued. It is believed that several Spaniards were killed. Guantanamo, via Kingston, June 18. —However unpleasant the experience, the landing of a small detachment of marines, mostly raw men, in the ene­ my’s country, has taught some lessons to the officers and men here, and possi­ bly also to the authorities at Washing­ ton. It Jias shown the Spaniards to be during bush fighters, and it has prove«! that every American camp must bo compactly built and as well protected to resist night attacks as though in tho Apache country.

Though the 16 Spaniards found by Lieutenant Neville's men wore regular uniforms, most of those men in the daylight attacks wore scarcely anything except big plantain leaves bound around their foreheads in lieu of hats. This acte«l us an effective disguise in the bush. Others, stripped to a pair of dirt-colored trousers, tie«] branches around their waists, reaching shoulder high, and moving very cautiously, they could even cross open ground without being detected, though some of them were caught at the game. Another trick was to make a moving 9cr«M*n of two or three big palm leaves, almost impossible to detect where stunted palm everywhere rises out of the chapparal. The Cubans were most useful in pointing out these tricks. There ato 60 of these men now in camp, mostly negroes, with Cuban officers. They are hawkeyed woodsmen, breaking ev«»n with the Spaniards in every de­ vice of bushcraft. The American ma­ rines at first were inclined to discount this, but this morning they spoke en­ thusiastically of their auxiliaries for their daring. At night, in skirmish time, the marines say tbe Cuban aux­ iliaries go through the bush like rab­ bits. Their chief fault, however, is their reckless handling of the new magazine rifles.

Washington, June 20.—The navy department has received the following from Admiral Dewey: “Cavite, June 15, via Hong Kong.— There is little change in the situation since my telegram on June 8. The in­ surgents continue hostilities and iiave practically surrounded Manila. They have taken 2,500 Spanish prisoners, whom they treat most humanely. They do not intend to take the city at the present time. Twelve merchant vessels are anchored in the bay, with refugees, under guard of neutral men- of-war; this with my' permission.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 20.—A dis­ patch from Manzanillo, province of Santiago de Cuba, reoeived here today, announced the artival there of the steamer Purisima Concepcion, which ■ailed from Kingston about 1 o'clock Thursday morning with food supplies for the Spaniards, and carrying, it is Mid. <100,000 in gold. iestination of Admiral Camara’s fleet, one that the warships are heading foi Boston with the intention of bombard­ ing New England towns, and another that the fleet is going to the Philip­ pine««. There is a feeling of great optimism in official circles here and in tbe lob­ bies of the oortes, owing to the depar­ ture of Camara’s fleet. It is said it oonsists of over 20 ships, including aux­ iliary cruisers, and it is added that it has an enormous quantity of war ma­ terial on troard, including a mysterious new explosive. It is also whispered that the squadron, when at sea, is to be divided and procoed to different destinations. : ; ; : : ? : : : : : : : : ,34,33o utterly untrustworthy, beoause it is old, rotten and has never been tested. The Spaniards are impotent with rage, bewilderment and despair. The cafes tonight are crowded with officers with their hands in their pockets, gap­ ing vacantly, while an intermittent fusilade is audible in all directions. Carloads of food have been stored in­ side the walled citadel, with the inten­ sion of standing a siege and defying the American warships. But the idea is ridiculously preposterous, for the citadel, so-called, is totally untenable against the fire of a modern fleet of warships. There was a concerted attack last evening in every direction. The Span­ iards were informed of the insurgents' intention to capture two magazines outside the fortifications. Therefore, they concentrated their forces for a sn- prems effort in their defense, and bom­ barded the jungle all night long. In the meantime the insurgents captured Malabon and Calloocan, in the northern suburbs. The Spaniards were thus out­ witted, outgeneraled and harassed to death. During the previous night, owing to a misunderstanding, a equad of Span­ ish artillerymen stampeded from Malate into Manila, causing immense consternation, it being believed that the insurgents were storming the city. A Spanish officer commanding an outpost at San Juan left hie men in charge of a sergeant, came to town and was found helplessly drunk. It is re­ ported that he was sentenced to death. A 6-inch gun at Malate, while being fired into the woods over the Spaniards' beads, struck a tree and killed several Spaniards. There is a story current here this evening to the effect that the captain and officers of the German warship Irene went to a picnic on horseback to the further outposts of San Juan, ac­ companied by the highest Spanish officers of the staff. They had a cham­ pagne lunch, and the captain of the Irene is said to have made a speech, during which he declared the Ameri­ cans “will never annex the Phillippine islands while William remains em­ peror.” The Germane, it is further «aid, with their Spanish hosts, might have been killed by the insurgents, who had the read to San Juan strongly ambushed, but it is further asserted the insurgents had orders to avoid giv­ ing a pretext for German intervention. llfll's t' • = = S- 3 S COUNTY.

Washington, June 20.—The state department has received tire following disfMitch from its agent at Gibraltar: “The Carlos V. Pelayo, Rapido, Pa­ triot, Andas, Ossda, Prueperina, Gir- alda. Prelejo Colon (with the minister of marine on board), Alfonzo Doco, Canondong, Atnonio Lopez, Isla Panos, Buenos Ayres und San Francisco, left Cadiz yesterday. The first 11 passed the rock bound for Carthagena for or­ ders; the last three bad troops on board. This is Admiral Camara’s Cadiz squadron and a;.pears to be in the Mediterranean, bound for African shores.” The army officials were satisfied, on learning today that the Cadiz fleet bad sailed, that the ships would go to Porto Rico rather than to Cuba, if they crossed to this side. It was pointed out that this move would be the natur­ al strategic one for the Spanish com­ mander to taBe, as there was still pometliing left for them to save in Porto Rico. The naval view is not similar to that taken by the army officers. The former do not attach as much importance to the fleet as the latter, and few officers can be found to believe that the ships will ever venture far from the Spanish coast, much less attempt to cross the Atlantic or go to the Philippines. The list of vessels in this fleet is rather formidable in sound, but as a matter of fact it includes not more than two up-to-date war vessels, excepting the small torpedo gunboats.
