ADMIRAL SIMPSONS TASK.

Believed in London That 1t WIN Not
Be Extremely Difficult.
London, May 13.-The bombarding of
San Juan de Porto Rico Is held here ia
indicate that Rear Admiral Sampson
has a pretty accurate knowledge of tho
whereabouts of the Spanish squadron;
at any rate. that 1t is too far distant to
interfere with his proceedings. No
definite news, however, Is yet obtain
able as to the locality Of Admiral Ger.
veras fleet, although 1t Is believed to
be at the Canares. waiting to join tho
ships at some predetermined rendez-
vous.
The news is expected today of the
fall of San Juan and that Admiral
Sampson has sufficient forces handy
to land and hold the place If so, his
feat will be regarded almost as daring
as Dewey's. 1t is supposed that the
news that the bombardment had begun
was dispatched by some one who had
command of the wires at San Juan or
permission to send message. The
Spanish reports recently have said that
the San Juan forts had been much
strengthened but looking at the state
of affairs at Manila, little credence is
given to this report, and it is Judged
that Admiral Snmpson's task will not
be very difficult.
Ikle Cardenas and Cienfuegos affairs
are not regarded here as very serious
except as showing that an invasion Of
Cuba will not be a walkover, although,
If San Juan has fallen, 1t will be ut
terly impossible for the Spaniards to
do much to prevent the invasion.

TALK OF INTERVENTION.
France, Russia and Germany Fear That
Our Government May Retain
the Philippines.

London, May 13.-Inquiries in quar-
ters where official opinion is closely
followed suggest that the obvious un-
easiness Of France, Russia and Ger
many over the continuance Of the war
has been communicated to official
quarters here.
Austria has special dynastic reasons
for desiring peace. France, Russia
and Germany find ground for alarm
lest America should be led so far on the
path of conquest that American public
opinion should demand the retention of
the Philippines, IL not other Spanish
possessions. 1t is understood that
representations have been made to the
government here from some European
capitals. Paris among them, in favor
of joint intervention. nominally in the
interests of peace, but really. as 1t ap-
pears in high quarters here, to forestall
any attempt at American acquisitions
outside of Americas home sphere.
Any such attempt to coerce America
out Of her legitimate sphere of spoil.
as France. Russia and Germany CO.
creed Japan, will find no support here.
The feeling in official as well as in gen.
eral quarters tends rather to that Of
Mr.. Cecil Rhodes, who expresses him
self very forcibly on Englands true
policy and advises America to stick
to what she gets. Mr.. Rhodes says:
"Never mind what other people say,
let her stick to the Philippines. Let
England give her moral support. That
will keep the other powers quiet. Let
America in return keep an open door
in the Philippines, giving England, and
any other power who treats her as well
fiscally as England does the same
freedom in the Philippine market as
America herself will enjoy"

MONTOJO INTERVIEWED.
The Spenish Admiral Blames the Author.
tiles at Madrid For His Overwhelm-
ing Defeat at Manila.

AhS NSASot a. NAuLAAos
London. May 1s.-The Hong Kong
correspondent Of The Times, who ar
rived there on board the British gum
boat Linnet from Manila, says:
Il had a conversation with Admiral
Montojo who, recognizing the SUI
periority of the American squadron,
admitted that his chief object was to
seek the protection of the Cavite forts.
He fought in the Reina Maria Cristina
till she was on fire fore and aft and had
52 killed.
"The captain of the Boston. who
carried the flag Of truce, said: You
Combatted us with four battleships, not
warships. We have never seen before
braver fighting under such unequal
conditions. 1t is great pity you ex-
posed your lives on vessels not fit for
fighting
Commodore Dewey sent a message
to Admiral Montjo as follows: I have
pleasure in clasping your hand and
Offering my congratulations on the
gallant manner in which you fought
Admiral Montojo attributes the re.
sponsibiIty of his defeat to the gov
ernment in Madrid. He had only obso-
lete vessels, though he had requisition-
ed the government for ships. He had
no torpedoes except some which he
himself constructed out of ineffective
material.
During the bombardment of the
Cavite arsenal Commodore Dewey sus-
pended fire at the request Of the Span
iards to allow the women and children
to be removed to a place of safety. I
witnessed the second bombardment.
The American vessels were admirably
handled"
