"The blockade ax Havana has thus far
not proved very effective. Farms around
the city furnish ail the supplies necessary.
There Is no scarcity of provisions in Ha

and 33,000 volunteers in the city. About
J.OOO men are working night and day

A GAT TIME.
Rowing Crews of San Franciaco Will Send
Two Crewe to the Regatta.
San- FTttnclaeo, July 28. -The likelihood
of two crews of amateur oarsmen going
from San Francisco to the Interstate races
at Astoria next month is very r'nmg.
Rowing Commissioner Samuel J. Pem
broke, of the the board of governors of
the Amateur Athletlo Union, today re
ceived a telegram from Astoria guaran
teeing the expenses of two crewa from
San Francisco, with coach and coxswains.
Astoria will furnish everything and they
have ocered to put a barge race on the
program. It Is certain that the Alameda
boat club will send a crew and It la very
probable that the South End rowing club
of this city will be the other club to ac
cept tho offer of the Astorlans.

GENERAL MERRITT AT MANILA.
He Will Not Recognita tha Pretension
of the Insurgent Chief.
New Tork. July 8 A ipeclal to the
i ritiune from Washington ay:
General MerrH baa reached Manila, ac-
' and tha announcement is momentarily ex-
1
pected by cable from Hong Kong that he
has assumed the military governorship
of the Philippine, as directed by tha
President He left San Francisco on the
steamer Newport four weeks ago today,
two days after the departure of the third
military expedition, which he expected to
pass on the way to Honolulu and after
coaling at that port he waa to continue
as raplly aa possible to his ultimate des
tination. ,
The two expedition which preceded
him, that of General Anderson, leaving
San Francisco on May 30, and of GeneraJ
Greene, which sailed eighteen days later.
reached Manila after runs of tnlrty-atx
and thirty-two day respectively. Gen
eral Anderson and fleet of transports was
compelled to depart from tha dlreot
rcourse to eanture Ouam In tb. itn
islands, which Involved several days de
lay, and General Greece's brigade follow
ed iw chain of Islands west of Hawaii
and spent the Fourth of July at Wake Is
land, where It celebrated the national hol
iday. The Newport, however, was not handi
capped by the necessity of sotting her
pace to that of the slower transports and
therefore should have anchored near Ca
vite. by Sunday or Monday last and tho
governor selected by the president should
already be In control.
It Is understood among the authorities
at Washington that Admiral Dewey will
not postpone his domand for the capitula
tion of Manila long after General Merrlf
arrival, and from the confidential tone of
the admiral's dispatches, no anxiety is
felt regarding the prompt compliance of
the Spaniards with whatever demand be
may make.
The authority given to General Merrttt
In his Instructions from the President
precludes the possibility of a recognition
of the pretentions of dictatorship pro
claimed by Agulnaldo, and It ts not likely
that Agulnaldo or his foroes will reoetve
any greater consideration from Qenera!
Merrttt when Manila orrendeni than
those at Gereia had Cram General Shafter
la Santiago. In fact, t&ere are the bast
e4 reasons; for beUeriaa that Cke Preet
deaf order Hilar the line, rf aoodaet ef
tha eoaunandtne offloey of (he Vtutedl
Btstee feros In Santiago, ta be cUmmta
diirta tha military- asonpaUsa eCvUiat
province were alsaoat Idesttiaa wtlh those
given to Genera) Merritt,
Tils order provides among oxne things
that clUaene are entitled to seaurity ta
thair persons and property and la all
their private rights and relations and
that the muni al pal laws such as affect pri
vate rights and provide for tha punish
ment of crimes are to be continued In
force and administered by tha ordinary
tribunals, substantially as they were be
fore the occupation, If the judges and
other officials accept the supremacy of
the United States.
The problem of the disposition of the
Spanish prisoners who will be thrown
upon General Merrill's hands when Ma
nila surrenders, has not as yet received
much consideration at the war depart
ment, It being deemed advlsablo to have
the beneilt of General Marrltt's recom
mendations before actual steps are taken.
It appears advisable to send tha men
back to Spain, as in the case of those who
surrendered at Santiago, and In this event
no difficulty Is apprehended In securing
the transportation in neutral Bhips, now
in Asiatic waters,
It is recognized that the Insurgents
could never again be compelled to respect
Spansih rule, and this fact would prob
ably prove an Insuperable obstacle to the
conclusion of a treaty of peace on the
terms which will be most strenuously In
sisted upon by Spain, looking to the resti
tution of her Asiatic possessions. It Is
therefore, thought to be beyort netlon
that the complete separation of Phil
ippines front Spanish soverelgntywiwJ
one, of the Inevitable consequences of the
war.
