MANILA MAIL ADVICES
Dewey Saved a Oowardly Spanish
Captain From Execution.
PEOPLE FEAR A BOMBARDMENT
American Fleet Unable to Obtain
Fresh Provisions.
NEWS FROM THE ORIENT
PORT TOWNS END, Wash., June 29. Ac- |
cording to advices brought from Japan by
the steamship Columbia, which has arrived
here, considerable Indignation prevails
among American sailors and officers at
Manila over th* treatment of the captain
of the Spanish gunboat Callao, which sail
ed into Manila bay about a week after the |
battle and was captured by Dewey's fleet.
The Spaniards claimed he showed cow- |
ardice in not returning the firj of the I
Americans. After giving him a Spanl3h |
court-martial he was sentenced to be shot,
but Commodore Dewey came to his rescue I
and took him under the protection of the j
American government.
Hundreds of people in Manila are using
every effort to leave and are offering $500
and $t**> for transportation out. As '.he
time draws near for the arrival of the
American soldiers, they are becoming more
restless. Another source of anxiety is in the
cas? of the bombardment of Manila what
the Spaniards will do with their women
and children, as they cannot be sent to the
Interior. as they would become the prey of
the rebels. It is stated an appeal will be
made to the British consul to make arrange
ments for their removal in case of bom- |
bardment.
So Freak Provisions.
Since leaving Mirs Bay on April 27 the
American fleet has been unable to cbtaln
fresh provisions and the men ha\e bitn
living on salt fare. Notwithstanding this,
there is no sickness among the crews and
all are patiently waiting for orders to take
possession of Manila. The Spanish soldiers
are anxious to meet the American troops
in battle. They are well armed witt
Mauser rifles, and Capt. Gen. August! says
every one will tight with desperation to
maintain th? honor of Spain.
A Japanese newspaper contains an ac
count of the adventures with rebels and |
Spaniards of Mr. Vincent, an American,
superintending a petroleum well on tne
Island of Cebu. Mr. Vincent was taken
captive by the rebels and taken to their
headquarters on the outskirts of Cebu.
where he was condemned to death. While
awaiting execution a Spanish war vessel
steamed into the harbor and commenced
to bombard the place. The insurgents
speedily decamped, leaving their prisoner]
in the room. Shell after shell came crash- ,
ing through the walls, carrying away most |
of the building.
Vincent"* Life Spnred.
When the bombardment ceased a large
number of rebels returned, having the
blood-stained upper half of a priest s head
in a basket. The head was placed on a
table and Vincent was given to under
stand that he would fare a similar fate.
He was surrounded by rebels with drawn
knives. Before the command of execution
was given he succeeded in making them
understand that he was an American and
not a Spaniard. The chief ordered his life
spared.
In the meantime the Spanish soldiers at
tacked the place In the rear, and the rebels
attempted to escape. The Spanish force |
rounded together some 200 natives, many i
of whom were young boys, and were In-1
dulging in an indiscriminate slaughter. Ig
norant at the time of what was transpiring |
within a few score of yards from him, Mr.
Vincent could hear the cries and prayers
of the helpless natives amid the roar of
musketry. After a while the fire slack
ened and all was quiet, except a few occa
sional shots which sounded the death
knell of those among the natives who had
escaped the volleys poured into their
midst. About 8 o'clock the next morning
Mr. Vincent crept out of the ruined build
ing and succeeded In getting aboard or
the British steamship Gulf of Martaban,
which had a number of Philippine refugees
bound for Singapore.
Captured by Agrntnaldo.
VICTORIA, B. C., June 20.?Steamer Em
press of China has arrived from the orient,
bringing mail advices from Manila up to
June 16. At that date the rebel leader
Aguinaldo had captured the province of
Cavite except four towns. He had taken
400 prisoners, including the governor of Ba
tangas, who attempted suicide when cap
tured.
Admiral Dewey has given the rebels 5,000
magazine rifles and 200,000 rounds of am
munition, and 4,500 rifles were landed from
a filibustering expedition from Amoy about
the end of May. Ample provision is being '
made for the removal of the foreigners in
case of bombardment. Eight steamers,
with the consent of the SpaniBh consul gen
eral and sanction of Admiral Dewey, have
been removed from the Paslg river.
H. M. S. Pique arrived at Hong Kong on
the 30th ultimo from Ilollo and Manila.
When the Pique left Ilollo all was quiet.
Business was proceeedlng as usual, and
there was no panic whatever among either |
the Spaniards or the foreign residents.
The only complaint made was that It was
difficult to ship goods from the place owing
to the lack of steamers. The Spanish gun
boat El Cano hud left Ilollo and taken
refuge In-the Sumoangan river.
The capture of the American ship Sara
nac appears to have been a farce, as the
officers of the Pique state that she had
been transferred to the British flag some
days previous to her capture by the El
Cano. and the Spaniards have accordingly
handed her over to her owners again.
There are only 100 Spanish troops at Ilollo
and the place Is practically undefended.
Jicwi From the Orient.
Chinese advices say, owln? to the scarci
ty of rice, a famine riot occurred at Wen
chow on May 10. The principal yamens In
the town were wrecked, and also the official
residence of the taotoi. Pillage was not
the object o the wrecking, for, after wreck
ing everything breakable in the magis
trate's yamen the rioters went Into the
residence portion and wrecked the furni
ture. The mandarins are powerless, the
military force being insufficient.
Great Britain has teased from China the
strip of coast from Deep bay to Mirs bay
and the range of hills at the back of the
Kowloon peninsula. By the acquisition of
this little strip of territory the rati
fication of the frontier forces of Kowloon,
with a view to complete defense of Hong |
Kong, has been attained.
The plague is still raging-at Hong Kong,
Canton and Amoy. Over 1,000 deaths have
occuirred at the former place since Jan
uary- ,

AN IMMENSE TASK
Work of Equipping and Arming the

THE ACTIVITY AT CAMP THOMAS
Regiments Under Orders Will
Move Within Two Weeks.
THE Y. M. C. A. CONVERTS
CHICK AMAUGA-CHATTANOOGA NA
TIONAL, MILITARY PARK, Tenn., June
20.?The order Issued yesterday afternoon
conveying the information that the entire
1st Army Corps would be sent to Cuba has
doubled the activity at Camp Thomas.
The work of completely equipping and
arming the twenty-seven regiments Is an
Immense task for the short time In which
it must be accomplished, but it is already
In progress and the officials say it will be
finished much sooner than is generally be
lieved possible. Everybody In the twenty
Beven regiments from colonels to privates
are hustling today and considerable rivalry
to be the first to get In shape is in evi
dence. It is expected that all under orders
will be moving Inside of two weeks.
The Western and Atlantic and Southern
railroad officials have received no order
from the War Department to supply cars
for the moving of troops from Chlckamauga
Park to Tampa or some other southern sea
port. The only thing of this sort is a
notice from the War Department to the
local Western and Atlantic officials, stating
that troops would doubtless be moved south
very soon and suggesting that they make
preparations to furnish a large number of
cars when the proper time arrived.
Court-Martial Board. *
An order appointing a court-martial board
for the 1st Division, ad Corps, has been
isstied from Gener.il Grant's headquarters.
Following are the members of the board:
Major Alfred O. Kennett, 1st Missouri;
Captain Wm. C. Noble, 14th New York;
Captain R. H. Harding, 1st New York;
Captain A. T. Johnson, 1st Vermont; Cap
tain W. H. Purple, 3d Tennessee; First
Lieutenant W. B. Robinson, 1st Missouri;
First Lieutenant George W. Cleveland, 1st
Vermont; First Lieutenant Chas. Williams,
1st Vermont; Lieutenant Leroy W. Brown,
3d Tennessee.
Brigadier General Howard Carroll and
Major Moore, representing the governor of
New York, are in the New York camps in
specting the rations. They talk with the
commissary officers and privates, and the
result of their invesUgatlon so far is that
they are thoroughly convinced that Uncle
Sam Is taking good care of his soldiers.
Colonel Wilder of the 14th New York has
received permission for his regiment tb en
gage in target practice, and as soon as he
can get his rang? in readiness the men
will begin what they have been eager to
do for many days.
Col. Pew Relieved.
Brigadier General Waltes, formerly of
Texas, has assumed command of the 2d
Brigade of the 3d Division, 1st Army Corps,
relieving Colonel Pew, commander of the
Oth Massachusetts. When the new com
ma ider assumed formal charge of the bri
gade Colonel Pew returned to the 8th, re
l'eving Lieutenant Colonel Bailey.
According to orders received the U!tl>
New York is restored to the 2d Brigade, 3d
Division, under the brigade command of
General Waltes. This regiment was trans
ferred to the 2d Division so that It might
be among the regiments to move under the
orders received by the 1st Division and 1st
?and 2d Brigades of the 1st Corps. The en

Cuba, and the first campaign in Cuba was
begun.
The voyage down.to this isolated corner
of Cuba was an uneventful one. and but
for the nightly excitement of betting on
the probability of being blown into the air
by a Spanish torpedo l>oat would have been
j monotonous. The weather was beautifully
' calm and sleepy, and the dark blue waves
of the tropics rocked one into unconscious
ness in a twinkling. But, oh, what a pic
nic one determined torpedo boat with a
Cushing or a Hobson at the helm night
have had. After leaving Port Tampi the
fleet of transports met the n^vii lleet at
Rebecca shoals, between Key West and
the Dry Tortugas. It was a large Kect of
fifteen vessels, with the Indiana and De
troit as the pugilists and the Oastine,
Helena, Bancroft and other smaller craft
as the eyes and ears of the expedition. In
three long parallel columns, eacli Stu yards
apart, the fleet swept proudly lown the
north coast of Cuba, througn the Wind
ward Passage, and southwest to its desti
nation. But there were dark nights when
the transports lagged or became separated,
and there was anxiety lest the fate of the
Maine might be duplicated.
Off the Cuban Count.
But no: the fleet anchored off Guanta
namo and the flagship Seguranca moved
on toward Santiago de Cuba with the eom
mander-in-chlef on board, to confer with
Admiral Sampson. As the Seguranca drew
near the New York three hearty American
cheers poured from the throats of the
bluejackets, and the frowning battlements
of Morro Castle must have known that
those cheers meant a triumph of Yankee
pluck and bravery over every obstacle.
Then came reconnoitering to within a
mile and a half of the Spanish works
guarding the bay, until it seemed as though
the forts could not resist so tempting a
shot; but their Are had been silenced by
the battle ships on the previous day, and
they were apparently in no mood to renew
active hostilities. Morro and La Socapa
were In plain view, and behind the head
land of the bay Estrella, Punta Gorda and
Punta Blanco were lurking, while across
the narrow entrance to the bay was the
submerged Merrlmac, flanked by a double
line of torpedoes.
In the Camp of the ImiarKents,
The conference between Gen. Shafter and
Admiral Sampson was Anally transferred
some sixteen miles down the coast to Acer
redoros. the camp of the insurgent leader.
Gen. Garcia; and all the afternoon the
three leaders discussed a plan of campaign
beneath the green trees of Garcia's camp,
while the newspaper men sipped sugarless
coffee and plucked cocoanuts from the
neighboring trees. It was a picturesque
spot?a little pueblo, girdled about by love
ly mountains, green in the freshness of the
coming rainy season. And the ragged and
famlne-strlcken Insurgents brought forth
all that thoy had and with the truest hos
pitality imaginable laid It at their visitors'
feet. When a soldier's commissary con
sists of unripe pineapples and cocoanuts,
and he gives those to you with genuine sin
cerity, It means a great deal. Altogether,
the visit to the Insurgent camp Impressed
all very favorably. The Cubans, though
ragged, were well armed and equipped, well
disciplined, and had all the camp trumpet
"calls" pertaining to the usual daily duties
of organizations of our own army.
Yesterday at daylight the fleet of trans
ports moved opposite Balquirl. The latter
Is a small town, important as being the
terminus of the Spanish-American Iron
Company's narrow-gauge railroad from
the mountains; and the fact, important,
too, from a military standpoint, that it has
an iron pier Jutting out Into the s?.a, from
which the ore-laden cars are dumped Into
vessels.
The town had been guarded by a large
number of Spanish soldiers, and some half
dcxen block houses were visible from the
sea.
A General Bombardment.
Simultaneous with the. movement of the
transports to Balquirl, the naval vessels
bombarded four points on the coast?the
Scorpion, Vixen and Texas at Cabanas, the
Eagle and Gloucester at Aguadores, the
Hornet, Helena and Bancroft at Esenada
de los A1 tares and the Detroit, Castlne,
Wasp and New Orleans at Balquirl. The
Spaniards at the last named place left In a
hurry, after piling their extra rations and
ammunition on top of the machine ehop3
and setting flre to them. They also burn
ed two Baldwin locomotives and tenders,
and attempted to destroy the pier, but
were unsuccessful.
The shelling of the place was a beautiful
sight. The men-of-war steamed close up
to shore, and as the New Orleans gave the
signal the guns belched forth shrapnel anl
shell. To use a Jiomely expression, "there
was a hot time in the old town," and If
there were any Spaniards left lurking In
the woods they must have made them3elves
exceedingly icarce. The bombardment <3'd
not last half an hour at Balquirl, but the
effect of the bursting shells and the blaxlng
houses of the town seemed very much like
war. Care was taken not to destroy pri
vate property, and In a short time the con
flagration had exhausted Itself.
Dlaembarkln* the Troop*.
Then, towed by steam launches, long col
umns of small boats filled with regulars
cautiously approached the beach, and quick
ly reeonnoitered the town. It was found
deserted, and after establishing outposts
the -landing of the remainder of tbe army
was continued. Later In the day Old Glory
was hauled to the top of the Spanish staff,
on one of the tallest hills, and the whistle?
of every transport and naval vessel In
sight salutad tbe stars and stripes.*
Gen. Castillo, with a thousand Cubans,
?was to have attacked the town and facili
tated the disembarkation, but delaps pre
vented his reaching the town in time to
assist Unfortunately, however, one of his
men was struck by a piece of one of our
shells and lost an arm, and two other Cu
bans were wounded. From Balquirl a road,
good for Cuba, runs through Sevilla to
Santiago de Cuba, and along this road the
United States army will carve it* way dur
ing the coming week. To oppose it the
Spaniards have a considerable force, esti
mated at various figures, but even If out
numbering our forces, it is believed that
the Spanish arm yia going to be licked out
of Its boots.
A Formidable Force.
In tbe first place this is the largest force
of United States regulars ever brought to- I
gather, even duHag our war with Mexteoy i

? In Santiago Harbor.
In the harbor of Santiago de Cuba are
some half dozen Spanish war vessels
which must be captured or destroyed. To
permit tha navy to enter the harbor and
consummate this result six Spanish forts
or batteries must be captured, an army de
feated, and the torpedoes at the mouth
of the harbor raised. That this plucky
little army of ours will accomplish this
gees without saying. Only one living be
ing longs for a return to his native land
and he is an army mule, who being tossed
overboard to swim ashore from the Whit
ney, resolutely turned his nose toward the
sea, and made strenuous exertions to swim
back to Tampa. But even he was persuad
ed to turn toward the nearer shore, and
now the army is happy. R.
