CAPTAIN GENERAL AUGUSTI on Board the German Kal.erin and Gues to Hong-Kong — General Blanco Kesigus His Cuban Offlce— Chlcainauga Nevrs—Troops Rapidly Deserting Camp Alger. Washington. Aug. 16. —The department of state has just issued the following: "The following dispatch was retoatved at the department of state late last night from Consul Wildman at Bbng-Kong: " 'Augusti says Dewey bombarded Manila Saturday, city surrendered unconditionally. Augusti was taken by Germans in launch to Kaiserin Augusti and brought to Hong-Kong. "I credit report.’ ”

A Hong-Kong dispatch says: General Augnsti, captain general of the Philippines arrived by the Kaiserin Augusta. He refuses to be interviewed and rssill say nothing more than that he is japing to Spain at the first opportunity. It is a significant fact that while the fastest German cruises has brought General Augusti she only brings a small package of mail for the German consul. The consul is now in Canton, and his mail matter remains unopened. Tho precise facts are not known, but it is supposed that General Augusti fled from the Philippines. Madrid dispatch: According to La Ckjrrespandencia de Espana the surrender of Manila occurred after the last attacks made upon the city. Blanco Resigns. Madrid, Aug. 16.—The government hits received from Captain General Blanco a dispatch tendering his resignation. The reason given by General Blanco for resigning is that he does not ■wish to superintend the evacuation of Cuba. The government is also informed that General Augustin, governor general of the Philippines, will leave Manila for Spain by the first mail steamer, giving his command to the second in rank.

The Cuban autonomist government has resigned. It is believed that the Spanish government will decline to accept the resignation of Governors General Blanco and Augustin. RECONSTRUCTION. Discussing Plans as to Cuba, Porto Rico and Spanish West Indies. Washington, Aug. 10.—The reconstruction of affairs in Cuba, Porto Rico and throughout the Spanish West Indies is receiving earnest consideration in official quarters, and at the white house yesterday the president saw a number of prominent callers in connection with this reconstruction. General Fitzhugh Lee spent some time with the president going over the condition of Cuban affairs. Acting Secretary Allen of the navy also saw the president concerning Cuban affairs. It is probable that an American naval vessel will go to Havana harbor before long, and at least two naval vessels will be ordered to Havana when the military commission assembles there to determine upon the details of Spanish evacuation. Secretary Day also conferred with the president and later determined, the peace terms being matured, to take a week's vacation. He will probably go to Canton. Assistant Secretary Moore will be acting secretary of the state department during Judge Day’s absence. The secretary’s retirement from the bead of the department is likely to follow soon after his return from Canton, and, indeed, it may come daring his absence. Samarkand has a cab service, but the Samarkanders are obliged to go on foot on Saturdays, as all the drivers are strictly orthodox Hebrews. The town authorities tried to force them to work on their Sabbath, but the appeal court has upheld the religious rights of the drivers.
