Manila, via Hong Kong, June 20.—
Spanish power is crumbling in the
Philippine islands. General Pena and
a thousand Spanish soldiers have sur­
rendered at Santa Cruz. Similar sur­
renders have taken piaoe at Laguna
and at Pampanga, and in each oase
hardly anybody was killed.
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 insurgents propose.] to form a
republic under Anglo-American tutel­
age, and threatened to visit with se­
vere penalties the insurgents who have
become turncoats, especially Paterno, a
prominent native protege of the Span­
iards.
There was desultory tiring today in
every quarter on the outskirts of the
town, with no material result, although

via Kingston, June 18.—The brick

the end of the railroad leading to the
city of Guantanamo, were demolished
today by a terrific bombardment con­
ducted by the Texas, Marblehead and
Suwanee. The warships opened fire
at 2 P. M. and the bombardment lasted
an hour and a half.
The Texas steamed slowly up the

followed closely by the Marlbehrád.

One Hundred and twenty inhabitants

Three bun-

wall of the fort and throwing bricks
and mortar 80 feet in the air.
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. It has developeil sev­
I—I eral small defeots in the navy guns
under servioe conditions, and it has
shown that given a free rein with re­
I—I peating rifles 500 nervous troops can
waste 10,000 rounds of ammunition,
killing shadows, in a single night, and
not think even then they havo done
much shooting.
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.

The Leiter wheat deal, so-called,
which was certainly one of tlie most
remarkable business enterprises of
maxlern times, has come to an end.
i Liquidation is now the order of the
«lay, and many millions of money
which were nt one time profits on one
side of the ledger have been wip«id out
by losses on tlie other side of that same
truth-telling book.
It is tbe old story over again of Pro-
[ methens challenging the gods. The
1 forces of nature are too strong for any
man. and work and contrive as he
may, lie cannot maintain himself
igainst that eternal decree that seed
, time and harvest shall not fail.
The outlook in 1897 for tbe pur-
[ shase of wheat justified all that Mr.
Leiter did. There were short crops
everywhere abroad, and tbe United
j States alone possessed tbe grain the
j whole world needed and must have.
As the year advanced and it became
1 more and more apparent that the short­
age was certain, the big deal began to
look more and more promising, and
after the December deliveries were pro­
vided for it seem«<d easy enough sailing
for the young merchant.
Mr. Armour, who is no mean judge
of such undertakings, and who has
fought many a great commercial battle
on the board of trade, in speaking of
this splendid deal, said: “The pluck
and wisdom manifested by him in the
remarkable deal which he ail but suc-
cesfully consummated, challenged the
admiration of men everywhere. I
fully expected that he would carry the
deal through safely, as there was merit
in his position.”
This is testimony from one who had
felt the prowess of the youthful com­
mercial athlete, and who, in a meas­
ure, bad been put to his trumps to
meet that antagonist on his own ground,
and it is therefore all the more trust­
worthy as evidence that Mr. Leiter had
a strong jiosition to begin with.
But time and tide wait for no man,
and ever-teeming mother earth gladly
responds to the husbandman’s toil.
Unprecedented prices were responded
to by an unprecedented crop, and
bountiful nature offereil to pour into
Mr. Leiter's lap a much greater pro­
duct than he cared to possess. Hu
wisely closed the bine.

Admiral Dewey's Advice».
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. The
health of the squadron continues excel­
lent. The German commander-in-chief
arrived todav. Three German, two
British, one French and one Japanese
men-of-war are now in port. Another
German man-of-war is expected

Ran the Blockade.
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.

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.

Spanish Reserve Fleet I.eHVM Cad in for

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. It ¡«certainly
the opinion of naval officers here that
if Dewey had the Monterey with him
he would have no trouble in repulsing
the whole Spanish force, while the
Cadiz fleet could not afford pastime tor
