Madrid,¢June 17.-Advices received here by the Liberal from Manila, under date'of June 6, practically repeat the newa contained in the dispatch of June 15 from the Shanghai correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph, who for- warded upon that occasion informa- tion which he had received from Ma- nila up to June 8, saying that on June 5 the insurgents forced the passage of the Zapote river'and captured Las Pi- nas and Para-naki, since which time the fighting between the insurgents and Spaniards has been continous, the lat- ter being gradually driven into the city of Manila. The Liberal' s dispatch ex- plains that “in the face of Aguinaldo's superior forces the Spaniards were compelled to retreat. " The Spanish correspondent also says: “The fighting continues incessantly There are skirmishes at intervals day and night, and lack of provisions has compelled the Spaniards to yield at certain points. Both ammunition and food. are scarce. Nevertheless, the Spaniards are animated by the best spirit and are fighting heroically.

The British steamer Kwong-Hoi, has started fnom this port for Manila with a load of provisions. .. The cruiser Charleston sailed from San ancisc-o for Manila on May .22. On .. ay 25 the first transports sailed with troops. It would take at the best speed fully twenty-three or twenty-four days to reach Manila, and the trans-. ports were given until June. 20 to make the voyage. As they may not have stopped at Honolulu.the trip may have been shortened several days, but still it is hardly likely that even the Charleston was sighted at Panav on June 9, aithpu'gh the fleet is probably W a”: .-s-... ‘ . Third Manila. Expedition. Washington, June 17 .—It was an- nounced last night that the third and largest expedition for the Philippines will leave San Francisco not later than June 30. It has also been decided that General Merritt shall on his way seize the La.- drone islands, leaving at least one transport there. There will be ten thousand men in the third expedition and General Mer- ritt person-ally will] be in command. He will be instructed to leaVe not less than .thwo thousand men at the Ladrones, and in case the defence of Spain’s mid- Pacific possessions should prove stronger than it is generally un- derstodd to be, he may land a. greater number. It is probable that the force left to hold the Ladrones will be made-up al- most entirely of volunteers. The work of whipping the third ex- pedition into shape has proceeded with great rapidity. It was not thought, it would be in readiness to start before the middle of July. Should it get away on the Cate now set it would be impossible for Spain to rush additional protection to the La- drones in time to anticipate the arrival of Merrit-t’s forces. Getting Fernandina Ready. Washington. June 17.—_—The war de~ partment is hastening forward the preparations at Fernandina, Fla... which will make that point one 01' the most advantageous in the country for the concentration of a large body of troops. Notices have been sent to the city au-' t‘horities as well as to army officials, di- recting them to hurry the preparations.‘ It is said at the war department that the special. board which inspected Fer- nandina: found the proposed camp so roundlngs that several thousand troops could be accommodated there to-day if it were necessary to institute the camp at once. The orders for this concentration have not yet been issued. although the inference is clear that they will follow when the Fernandina camp grounds are ready. The department calculates that the grounds ,will also accommodate 20,000 troops when all preparations are completed. Another Flying Sduadlon.

SUPPLIES FROM NEW YORK. A Cargo of Food for the Spaniard! in . Cuba.“ Kingston, Jamaica, June 17.—A hea- vy cargo of food supplies has been lan- ded here by the steamer Castle Edin, from. New Yerk. The cargo bears s1milsr marks to' ‘that of ”the cargo of the City of Kings~ ton, which has been transferred to the rislma Concepcion. PThe cargo on the Castle Edin was shipped by the same people'—Liera Sr, I'Roca. of New York—who furnished the . cargo for the City or KingstOn. The Purisima Concepsion will sail probably to-d’a'y. She has obtained an Alexander Rennie, who will take command. Her bill of sale is registered to Cap- tain William Hunter of Montego bay. the pilot, who. brought the ship around. The. Purisima’s officers state that a. Spanish naval oflicer' was aboard the Twickenwham but had landed at some port before her capture. Strong protests have been made by Mr. Dent, the American consul, against Jamaica being made the base for the shipment of provisions and supplies to the Spanish troops. in Cuba. Many Spanish ships which have cal- led recently have been allowed to change to ‘Bbltlsh register and‘take car- goes to Cuban ports. These, in many instances, have been landed at Bata- bano, and sent by railway to Havana. Others have been, sent to Manzanillo, consigned to private persons, but later sold to the Spanish commissariat. . . ,u‘ Fifty Thousand Men Wanted. 3 Washington, June 17.—Reports re- ceived at the adjutant general’s office show that practically all the regiments now in the field which are to be filled to their maximum strength under the president’s second call for troops, have 'sent recruiting parties to the states from which the organizations some. to obtain the necessary men for this pur- pose. It will require beisveen forty and fifty thousand men to fill the existing their maximum strength.

Board Appointed to Audit 11111 is... get- ting Troops Ready for Service. Washington, June 17. -' Practical steps will be taken by the war department- in a few days looking to the payment of the claims of the several states and territories for expenses incurred by them in the subsistence and mainten- ance of the volunteers prior to their muster into the service. of the United States. It has been determined to refer all such claims to a 155m consisting of an army officer designated by the sec- retary of war and an official of the treasury department? This promises to be a work of con- siderable magnitude, as every state and territory and the District of Columbia have been put to more or less expense in providing fer the volunteers before they were mustered in, and it Will be the duty of the board to settle them with a view to the best protection of the government's interests. MANY SOUGHT, FEW CHOSEN: _ Army Positions. Washington, June 17.—The organiza- tion of the volunteer army made neces- sary the appointment from civil life‘of a few less than five hundred staff offi- cers and second lieutenants. The enbr- mous amount of work entailed upon the president and the war department, particularly the adjutant general and his force, by these appointments, can be imagined when it is known that for the five hundred appointments there were more than 21,000 applicants. Every one of the applications had to be briefed, arranged and filed, and be- fore the appointments were m-ade many of the applications had to be handled several times. Each one had to be an- swered and, many of them were the subjects of considerable correspond- Sampson's Cable Ship in Peril.

There is a serious delay in her sail- ing. It is expected, however, that she will leave before noon to- day and ar-' rive at Mole St. Nicholas t-o- morrow. The Spanish consul here is taking in- terest in the mission of the cable stea- mer and it would be a wise step for Iplished cannotbe doubted. ‘ ' iBIIILY IEITEI.

Other remedies may be pleas- ant. but as a Well-known physician lately said: “To waste time on useless remedies 13 dangerous, for' 1n the treat- ment of all diseases time is everything. ” And that California Catarrh Cure works surely and sWiftly; that its suc- cess is not approached by any other remedy ever compounded, is proved by such cases as this: Mrs. John Lycett, 21 High street. Norwalk,‘ says: “My daughter Violet has been troubled since childhood with catarrh,unt11 her whole head seemed more or less diseased. She had begun to be a little deaf, and suffered much with severe headaches, so that we had to keep her out of school a good deal. I sent her to Plaisted’s drug store, South Norwalk, after a. bottle of Cali- fornia - Catarrh Cure and she com- menced using it. Its beneficial effects have been simply wonderful. It has helped her from the first in every way. I have not heard her complain of a headache for a long time, and by the time she has finished her first bottle I feel confident that she .will be cured.” To avoid Hay Fever, begin using California Catarrh Cure now, and keep it up till the season of the attack has passed. It absolutely prevents cases of hay fever and its kindred dis- eases, infiuenza, ,“grip” and stuffed and smarting nasal passages. For the latter nothing affords such grateful relief as California Catarrh Cure. All dealers, 50 cents; three times as much, one dollar.‘ A Bus-hurls Custom.
