Manila special: It is reported that Aguinaldo has dissolved the Filipino Congress and declared himself dictator. The report is credited by the Filipinos.

Hall at Morons and Gen. Wholley at Tasig. are prepared to advance in any direction in a half hour's notice, thus lessening the chances of the enemy's learning their plans.

Good Showing Made. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says that the April failures were the smallest ever, reported in any month. May failures are nearly $2,000,000 smaller, only 68.2 per cent of the smallest previously reported in any month, and only 34.8 per cent of those in May last year. Solvent payments were 8.328,202,(152, and defaults were $3,S20,U8G, or 45.7 cents on $1,000. against 70 cents in April, $1.10 in March aud $8.02 in September, 1896. Comparison with previous years indicates that the rate of defaults to solvent business has never been as small In any other month as in May, 1800. Both in manufacturing and in tradiug failures were the smallest ever known iu any month, and in each branch eight of the fourteen classes showed smaller failures than in May of any other year. Failures for the week have been 145 in the United States, against 222 last year, and 14 in Canada, against 16 last year. Bradstreet's says: "Cereal exports begin to show an improvement.

Gen, Hall's campaign against the l'hilppiuu insurgents under Gcu. del Pilar at he north of Lngiiiiu de Bay continues 'igorouslv. Tlic American lines across he Morong peninsula, cxlcudini: six miles :roiu Morong on the east lomipo!,) anil L'nytay on Ihe west, begun grcdiially clusng iu Monday morning, and the advance lown the peninsula begun. The operations begun by the American Saturday morning with a view to entrapping aud crushing Del Pilar's forces about ;utipo!o were distinguished by heroic narches and brilliant at tucks. The plan .vas to have Gcu. Hail attack the insurgents at Autipolo and drive them down :uward Laguna de Bay. while (1. Whaley, with a strong force, should advance 'rum Pnaig mid attack the rebel-, in front, thus crushing them. The plan as origimily conceived could not be carried out owng tu the adverse conditions under which Gen. Hall advanced on Antipole. What tie expected lo do in two hours took seven. His troops had t" swim unfonlable rivers ind wade through swamps to their waists all under a scorching sun. It was early afternoon before Hall's troops, who had left the pumping station at 5 iu the morning, reached the valley of Antipole to the northwest and iu the rear of Ihe insurgents at Taytay and t'ainta. Seeiug that Hall could not get to his position for a eonibincd attack on ihe enemy on time. Gen. Lawton ordered t.'ol. Whallcy to advance on t'ainta and Taytay and engage the enemy moderately until Gen. Hall, coining down the Ai tipolo valley in the rear, could co-opera:e. Ool. Wlialley's advance on t nint.-i was brilliant. His troops swept across the four miles of open country at a rapid pace, with a swift moving skirmish line iu front. The Twelfth regulars. were on the left or northern flank, and the North Dakotas stretched along between Cainta and the shore of Laguna de Hay. A battery held the central position iu Ihe North Dakota Hue, nnd begun shelling the town at fourmile ri'nge. Meanwhile Gen. Hall was coming dowr the valley toward Tayiay, which is only a few in les east of Cainta. on the shore, lie had :iad a running tight with Filipinos all day. the first 'ncutitor being at Monte iu the !.iii Mateo foothills. The insurgents were driven out of Monte and surrounded on tlnee sides by the Oregon regiment, a sharp light following, and before ihe enemy was repulsed the Oregon! last three men killed and six wounded. Gen. Hall entered Taytay meeting little resistance, the insurgents Hcci&g to Morong oo the southeast. Shortly afterward his forces collected on the shoi-e with the North Dakotas. comtosiug Col. Wlialley's right advance line. Gen. Hall occupied Autipolo, and Col. Wlialley's forces came through Cuinta and uiited with them, (he combined force then advancing on Morong. which was capured after a sharp battle. During -the night Gen. Lawton had brought troops to Morong by water, and these advanced and connected with Hull's troops, forming a chain across the peninsula. A few Filipinos slilped through the American liues and escaped northward. The heat is terrific, and ftoincnt showers cause u deadly humidity. Hospital boats returning to Manila MoLday morning brought 2fK) soldiers, who were suffering from heat prostration. The country between Manila and the field of operations offers insurmountable obstacles to the transportation of supplies, and the wagon communication from Manila through the San Mateo valley has been abandoned. Provisions and ammunition arc being sent via the Pusig river.

As it was Count Christiano, a clubman and society leader, aimed a blow with his cane at the executive's head, crushing his ha:. A second attack was prevented by the arrest of Christiano. One feature of the demonstration was that it seemed as if the royalists and anti-Semites were the leaders. The com loon people remained indifferent.

SPAIN GIVES UP ISLANDS.

Germany Gets tbe Carolines, the lelews and the Ladronea. The Queen Itegetit in the speech from the throne nt Ihe opening of the Spanish Cortes Friday said: '"The pangs at my heai't are renewed iu considering the misfortunes of my owu country. It is more dignified to compose ourselves in ijuietness than to complain anew. The Government in ratifyiug the peace treaty acted according to the const itntioti. Although tbe Carolines, the Marianas and the Pnlaos yet remain under the dominion of Spain, the Government bus made arrangements for their cession to Germany, for which a bill will be presented to you."' The price which Germany will pay is 2r,0O(),0O0 pesetas (about $3,000,000). Spain reserves for herself three coaling stations in each group, to lie designated hereafter, and which Germany agrees to defend in perpetuity for Spain. Germany also agrees to give Spain the advantage of -.he favored nation clause It is understood that the negotiations for the sale of the Caroline Islands, Palaos and Ladronea to Germany, have been In progress for some time. 9 By the relinquishment of Cuba, the cession of Porto Rico, the Philippine and Suhi islands, and Guam, the largest of the Lai':rone Islands, as a result of the recent Spanish-American war, the colonial possessions of Spain have been reduced to an area of about 24r,007 square miles of which 244.487 square miles are In Africa. The Pacific possessions about to be ceded to Germany include the Caroline Islands and Palaos, with 500 square miles and 80,(.fH) population, and the Mariana, or Lndrone, island (except Guam), with fifty square miles and 1,000 population.
