It is now kxmvn that General Shuf tor's army has ar rived at ha point of debarkation and that nearly all of tho men havu been landed in Cuba, and are netting ready to open thu lighting campaign on laud, and it is believed that the tirst expe dition to thu Philippines lias arrived at Manila according to thu program It is duo there today. Unless the Spaniards put up a much stouter resistance than is expected, (Jen. Shatter is likely to he in possession of Santiago before the clos i of tho present week. It is prob able that if our troops havo arrived at Manila, they will, with tho assistance of Dewey's Moot, go ahead and tuUo that city without waiting for tho ar rival of the rest of the troops, (icn. Merritt will leave San Francisco at onoo with the third and last expedition tor tho present. It is understood in Washington that as soou as our troops are in possession of Manila, President McKinloy will issue a proclamation an nouncing the military occupation of Philippine islands and declariug them to bo under tho control of the United States. Members of the cabiuut tuke no stock in the European reports con necting Germany with a scheme to ob tain possession of the Philippines, eith er through purchase or by force, and it is nu open secret that the Germans would have to tight if they tried to in terfere in any way over there, further than may be permitted by Admiral Dewey for tho protection of the inter ests of Gorman citizens. V The report that a Spanish licet had sailed from Cadiz for Cuba is Heated lightly by tho mluiihWtrntim , because it is not thought that Spain would bo apt to do anything that would ploa-o us mi much a would the ending of its la.st licet where wo could get a whack at it. tnui be continuous after the "morning hoi'i," each day thai the senate H, in itler to stave oil a vote until adjourn incut, ami they cannot M-ciire adjourn ment without tin- consent of the house, even if they could thu out a siilllcient number of senators to get an adjourn ment motion through tin senate. It is therefore regai dod as .ccttain it? any thing not yet accomplished can be that the senate will adopt the annex ation icsolution before congress ad journs. Tho adjournment of congress will depend cutitely upon how soon the senate acts-, the house is ready to adjourn at any time after that. Secretary (Jage has changed his opin ion about the willingness of thou1 who have $,100 or less to invest to absorb the untire $200,000,000 in bonds to be issued under authority of the war revenue act. It is now practically certain that tho big bidders, some of whom olVercd a premium of one per cent, will not got any of the bonds, as the act under which they are issued gives the small investors the first chance to buy all they want at per, and it seems certain that they will want them all. Secretary Alger characterized as "an infamous lie" thu report that a clash between himself and General Miles had resulted in taking command of the army away fiom Miles. (Sen. Miles is in Washington, holding conferences with president McKinloy andSecietary Alger concerning the Porto Hico expe dition, which he will command in per son, and which will be started as soon as the government gets the ships nec essary to transport the army. Tho cabinet lias been discussing the possible need of more troop-i, and knowing ones are pi edieting another call for volunteers in a few days. The idea of this additional is to get men enlisted ami in camp so as to have them in proper condition should it be found necessary to postpone the gen eral invasion of Cuba until fall some assert that the invasion has already been definitely postponed until that time.

Labor leaders repiesenling a cm- Madrid newspapers continue to in sist that Spain docs not desire peace. The Cuban junta will send a ship to Cuba with supplies for tho insurgent unity. OA dispatch from Gibraltar says it is rumored there that Spain has sold the Philippine islands to Germany. The Cuban allies of our marines at Caimanera fought well, going right up to the Spanish lines without fear. Many Catholic priests of Mexico are accused of underhanded methods in securing sympathy aud aid for Spain. Ten thousand men are to be added to tho army of invasion at Snntiogo. Four thousand of these will start with in a week. If a Spanish cabinet holds together for more than a week tho pooplo begin to complain of barnacles and profes sional ofllco holders. It is semi-oflicially announced that Kngland will sond a largo licet to Mauila if Germany attempts a naval demonstration there. Because thu Philippines are subject to earthquakes is not suflieieut cause to state that Uncle S.un's control over that territory is shaky. Tho nnival of tho crui.-or Mimic apolis at Newport News completes a dying squadron ol seven which is form ing lor Mime mysterious purpose. Foreign diplomat in Washington re gard tho departure of (Jen. Shatter's expedition to Santiago a putting an end to present prospects of peace. Over 5,000 Spanish .-oldii-ia are ie ported to have dcscilcd to the iiiMir .mii being felt by the vessels of the blockading squadron. In all past wars the United States has invariably had plenty of soldiers loft to begin the next conflict with. The close of'the war will leave thu country in better shape than ever in that re spect. Gen. Blanco says he will reduce Havana to ashes rather than surrender. That might bc.iolil thu town in a san itary sense. It is reasonably cei tain Iliac liu will never clean it up in any other way. As Spain speaks it: "He who stea s my purse steals trash, but hu who robs me of my honor ttikoth that which on richeth him not, and come to size it up more carefully, inakoth me not so dod pasted poor." Representative Underwood of Ala bama, in wliosedistrict Hobson's home is situated, lias introduced a resolution extending the thanks of congress to ilobson and his crew, and authorizing llobson's transfer to the line and pro motion to lieutenant commander. Late advices from Admiral Sampson give detail of the wondciful courage of Lieut. Blue, who, on foot and without companion or guide, succeeded in en circling the bay of Santiago within the Spanish line, and counting the en emy's vessels in the hay, with the re sult of establishing the fact that all of Admiral Ccrvcra's ships are bottled tip there by Sampau.i'.s aquadrou. The London Spectator warns the "cencert" of powers in Europe that if they really want to make America a first cla-s. lighting power all they will have to do is to keep on talking of ir- torforctice with her in the Philippines or in i lie matter of terms of peace with Spain. That will put Uncle Sam on his mettle quicker than anything else and lie will soon havo an army anil navy competent to deal with a "con cert" or any other old thing. The Madrid Impircial.ono of Spain's leading newspapers says: "It is a fact well known to all Kuropcau statesmen that only by means of armed force sta tioned in thu late confederate .status, has the Washington government been able to preserve the semblancu of peace. Even now the new gcueiation of the confederacy is but waiting the word to revolt. When war is declared, General Lee, who has been consul general at Havana, and who was kicked out of Cuba by General Blanco, will raise the standard of revolt in tho old southern confederacy. This Leo is tho same Leo who was gcncral-iu-chiof in tho civil war in 1801 acd 1805, and whose sur render to General Lincoln in the last named year broke the revolution. His acts at Havana were for tho purpose of plunging the government into war with the kingdom of Spain, at which time ho and his followers would riso against President McKiuley."

In an swer to the argument that with their men only working eight hours a day forty-eight hours a week American shipbuilders could not compote with Europeans, it was shown that the men in thu shipyards on the Clyde, where more ships are built than in any otic country, only wirk lifty hours a week. The light for the annexation of Hawaii is regarded as having boon ir ttialiy won when tlio joint resolution was adopted by a more than two-thirds vote in the house, although the mi nority in thosomttu is known to intend to put up their best light in tho contest which oponed up touiij In that body. Hut the opposition lights under dilll cultios that tnnko it practically impos sible for them to win, They havo got to do all the speech waking, which intoriiied of Dowel's overwhelming victory at Manila, aud an uprising against tho government seems inevi table. It is strange that some peaceful pat riot has not seen tit to complain bo cause alio Mcrrimac was not loaded with brickbats instead of good Ameri can coal. The postolllces to bo established in Cuba and the Philippines havu been placed respectively under charge of the postmasters of New Yoik and San Francisco.
