It Is p, known here that every energy In bent within the city to prepare It for the f final struggle. The people are exhorted by the clergy and military authorities, and their hopes are buoyed by false rej ports as to relief from Spain and Spanish triumphs In the West Indies, and Along the Atlantic coast.

The t British, lieet Includes the 'Immortalite, f Bonaventure, but the presence of so many Germans Is expected to draw othpr ships. The French have the Breaux and Pascal, and the Japanese the Mntsushlma. . It Is freely predicted that there will not be a,bloodless capitulation of Manila, as it is feared there will be a long and bloody resistance. Another special from Cavlte of June 119, says: One hundred and eighty-five wounded Spanish troops were sent Into . Manila to-night under the Red Cross flag. They were part of the fruits of the "?mna!irn that the rebels have con ducted against Manila for seven weeks past, and their removal was a relief to themselves and their captori. That many of them lived -to get back .to their beloved Manila Is due almost entirely to the skill and sacrifice of the , surgeons from the American cruisers, Dr. S. H. Brownwell, of the Petrel; Dr. D. N. Carpenter, of the Raleigh; Dr. Q. Broderlck. of the Concord, and Dr. J. B. i Greene, of the McCulloch, who gave up much of their time to the Spaniards under orders from Admiral Dewey. Other t fleet surgeons also assisted. * VANCOUVER, B. C., July 20.?Accordtag to advices brought by the Empress of India, from Hong Kong, the chief news of the moment Is that Ma* . nlla Is read** to surrender. Not <hat the archbishop and the captain general are COlng to voluntarily* capitulate before s they are compelled to do so. but that ' the backbone of resistance is unques. Uonably broken, and upon a real show of force and intention to bombard the town 1C the officials do not in. the Spaniards will haul clown tj?e Spanish flag. Intimations to this effect are. received from many sources. I'he correspondent of the Hong'Kong Tress writing under date of June 23,says the chief subject of discussion in Manila, In Cavlte and in the American fleet Is the meaning of the presence of Ave German men-of-war and one transport or supply vessel in port. "I have Just Interviewed a leading . Englishman here on the subject. He unhesitatingly informed me that all foreigners in Manila, a? well as Spaniards. regard It as a remarkable demonstration. "I am sure," he continued, "thot the Spaniards have received encouragement from such a naval display. A' .Spaniard to-day told mo that the coining of o large Gorman squadron ;va? construed b#r him and loading Spanish officials as a direct net of friendly Interest nnd warning towards the Yankees that they could not go too far. Now when a Spaniard of Influence, as this man was. will talk Ilk* that, I think It is high time to ascertain what the Germans moon by appearing here in such force. "I am familiar," my Informant continued. "with all the Gorman Interests In Manila and my relations with the Germans ore very agreeable and I nm positive that one German cruiser would be fully able to protect th?*m to every extent they required." Further details of the great fight of May l, filter through some high officials of Manila an time passes. It now appears, according to authentic Information in the hands of Consul Williams that out of 491 men on the Itelna Christina, 364 were killed. An officer who was aboard and now In prison, tells me that one 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 kUl of Amerlcnn gunners. Manila papers continue to publish monstrous stories about the Americans and do not hesitate to employ the most contemptuous epithet.*, all of which are whetting the appetites of th?? Americans to ??et even with them for uncalled for InHultP. More seizure* of arms nre reported from Hon? Kong. It Is suspected that the arms and ammunition were to be shipped to the Philippine Insurgents. The leisure consists of half a million rounds of Mflus<-r ammunition, .us breech loading Mauser, rifles and 112 tnUKxIc loading tSnfleH rifle*. An Englishman at Kobe wanted to , pass through the customs for shipment to New York M2 Japanese sword*, 71 spears and seven suit* of armour. The customs authorities held n consultation as to whether the articles were contraband ?r war, and not being able to sat isfuctorlly decide the question, they wired to the government In Toklo for Instructions.

He was struck by a piece of on exploding shell at Santiago and was one of the Injured sent to Tampa on / the Cherokee and brought here by train. To the World correspondent Chaplain Galloupe wild: "1 could not help taking part In the fight. I at first conflmd myself to the duties of my office. caring for the wounded as tho battle progressed, but when our men began to reel under the concentrated Spanish tire I felt the American rise In me. and, tearing the red cross off my arm, 1 snntt'lud up the gun and cartridge-belt of one of our men and went to shooting Just like the reft of them." "1 thought," suggested the correspondent. "that your mission was to save souls nr.d not to send them to death." With a twinkle in his eye the chaplain replied: "Yes, but when I saw our poor boys Staggering unurr uir . rainmnvr ...?
