AFFAIRS AT MANILA..
Port Darwin, June 1. Eastern files to May 18th state that Manila is quiet. The American fleet is still at Cavite. Considerable daily correspondence is passing between the American fleet and the Spanish authorities, but there are no signs of the surrender of the city. It is not expected that Admiral Dewey will bombard Manila, but will maintain a peaceful blockade until the arrival of further American troops. In accordance with an arrangement between General Arquinalla, the rebel leader, and the Americans, a party of rebels, under the command of Arquinalla, is on its way to Manila to cooperate with the Americans in the capture of the city. There are 27,000 rebel troops assembled at Cavite, awaiting the arrival of Arquinalla to organise an attack on the Spanish. Tho Captain-General and the Archbishop of Manila are making great efforts to induce the natives to remain loyal to Spain. [Reprinted from our Special Editions of yesterday. 1
