ALLEGED GERMAN NOTE.
Rumor That She VIII Not Permit the
Bombardme of Manila.

Rumor That She VIII Not Permit the
Bo~mbardment of Manila.
Madrid, May "A great impression
has been produced here by a rumor
that the German government has is
sued a note declaring hat it will not
oppose the landing OF troops in the
Philippines but will not permit a bonn
bardment, owing to the important Ger
man mercantile interests in all the
towns of the island. Germany's
omission to declare neutrality is held
to be the cause of the rumor.
Japan has requested permission for
japanese naval officers to watch the
operations IN the Philippines from the
Spanish headquarters.
The United States feet is not expect
ed to reach Manila until Tuesday. The
Spanish fleet has been divided in two.
1t will be reinforced by a large auxil-
iary cruiser.
According to dispatches from Ma.
Mia, the Vos Espanola describes the
port of Manila as impregnable. The
paper also says that the forts of Male
ton, Sud Malatea, Pastel, Mirallas and
st. Lucia Pillar bristle with guns,
chiefly krupps.

DEWEY'S FLEET.
Asiatic Squadron Goes to Manila to
Secure n Base of Operations.

Asintic Squadron Goes to Manila to
Secure u Base of Operations.
Washington, April 29.-As to the
imminence of a naval battle off the
Philippine islands, the naval authori-
ties here seriously doubt whether the
Spanish feet will make a stand against
the American ships. Their reason for
this belief is that the Spanish feet is
very inferior to the American force
under Admiral Dewey. The depart
ment, therefore, is satisfied that the
Spanish will not do battle on the high
seas with Admiral Dewey, but will re.
main in port to secure the protection
of the batteries of Manila, and the de-
partment is not expecting an engage
ment for about two days. Without
giving an explanation for setting this
time, the department allows it to be
surmised that the estimate is based on
it's knowledge of Admiral Dewey's
whereabouts.
There is no certainty that there will
DO an engagement at al in the imme-
date future. The main purpose OF the
American expedition is to seize and
hold some suitable Spanish territory in
the Philippines as a base of operations.
1t is thought this al be done without
attacking Manila at all, by seizing
some convenient point on the islands.
The Spanish feet at the Philippines
may resist the United States feet for a
short time, with assistance of the
guns from the Spanish forts, but other
wise the American vessels would make
very short work Of the Spanish squad

Portland, Or, May "A bungling

en- the workmen on torpedo-boats l2
and IS was made under the wharf of
the Wolff & ZwiCker iron works about
IL o'clock last night.
While nothing could be learned of
the perpetrator, a Spaniard or a Next
can who vas seen hanging about the
place all day and who had been several
times ordered away is suspected by the
police.
The late workmen, who were just
quitting the building, were startled, as
the whistle blew, by a dull report APP
parently just below the wharf on which
the torpedo-boats are building, which
shook the structure to its foundation.
The Madison-street bridge night watch
man also heard the defamation and saw
a binding flash directly under the tor
pedo-boats.
Three of the workmen seized lanterns
and hurried beneath the wharf. Just
as they reached the ground, a second
report, like that of a shotgun or re-
%volver, was heard, and they saw a light
flash for an instant, but that was all.
Cropping about by the dim light of their
Lanterns, they were unable to find any
thing which could have made an ex-
plosion, and they finally decided to
abandon the quest till daybreak.
The Spaniard whom the police sus.
poet of having set off the explosion,
either with the deliberate purpose of
blowing up the torpedo-boats or set
ting fire to the building, or thinking to
terrify the contractors, had been stink
ing about the place all day.
Whatever was the purpose OF the
man who set off the explosion, he
failed to do any more harm than to set
the town agog, for the wharf and boats
were unscathed.

READY FOR THE SIEGE

Porto Rico Warehouses Are Full OF
Provisions.
st. Thomas, West Indies, April 30.
Porto Rico advices received here to.
day say that four Spanish gunboats
are at San Juan de Porto Rico. They
are being painted black or possibly
dark gray.
Martial law has been proclaimed in
Porto Rico, and it is being enforced in
a tyrannical manner. Crowds of peo-
pie are leaving for the interior, and the
capital is almost deserted by the civil.
ian population.
The military are most actively en-
gagged in preparing for defense. Thirty
torpedoes have been planted in the
channel. In addition, an old steam
ship has been sunk across the harbor
entrance, the buoys in the channel
have been altered and from Monday
last, after the news of the blockade of
Havana reached there. accompanied by
a report that the Cuban capital had
been bombarded, all lights were order
ed extinguished at night. The French
residents, when these advices left San
Juan, were seeking refuge in the
French cruiser Admiral Rigault de
Genuilly.
An American sugar estate, it is an
nounced, was plundered after the re-
ceipt OF the news of the declaration of
wal between Spain and the United
States. The British consul at San
Juan, who has charge of American in
t%erests, has cabled to his government
requesting that a British warship be
sent to that port.
Spanish steamers landed at Maiguez,
10 miles from San Juan, Tuesday, a
quantity of arms and ammunition, and
there was a similar landing of supplies
at San Juan Tuesday. Besides this,
about 80, 900 tons of provisions were
landed at San Juan Sunday last. The
warehouses OF Porto Rico are reported
to be full of provisions, and the Span
ish authorities say they can stand a
seige of two months.
All their coast lights have now been
ordered to he e~Xtinpuished.

Lisbon, May 2.-The official gazette
today publishes the neutrality decree OF
Portugal in the war between Spain and
the United States.

privateers in Portuguese waters.
Second - Forbidding the entry Of
privateers into Portuguese waters.
Third-Permitting ~belligerents to
make a short stay in Portuguese ports.
Fourth-Defining legitimate trade as
regards the belligerents and ~forbidding
trading in goods considered contraband
OF war.
Fifth-Warning Portuguese and for
eIgners in Portugal against actions
contrary to the security OF the state.

infringers of the decree.

HIS FIRST INFORMATION.
Surprising Ignorance of II British Skip
per stopped by the Flagship.

Surprising Ignorance of II British Skip
per stopped by the Flagship.
On Board the Flagship New York,
off Havana, April 2S.-The first news
from Havana reached the squadron this
evening, when the British steamer
LuIline vas stopped by the flagship.
The Lurline is commanded by Captain
Tucker. She halls from London, and
was bound from Havana for Bermuda.
She has 200 cabin passengers on board,
besides a cargo of horses and sugar.
She is the first boat known to have left
Havana since last Friday, when the
blockade was commenced.
She was seen coming out from Ell
Moro about 8 P. NJ, and was about
six miles from land before the New
York started on her trail. Smoke
poured from the flagship's smokestack
as she rushed through the water to cut
off the stranger, who was going at a
good pace.
Lieutenant Marble was sent on board
by Captain Chadwick. The Cubans on
the deck shouted 'HurrahI" and waved
their hands at the New York. Cap
tain Tucker gave satisfactory proofs of
the Lurline's identity. He said the
people in Havana did not know that
the wal was in progress. The English
consul.general had said nothing to
him, 50 the captain alleged, about the
war or the blockade. When asked
what explanation was given in Havana
for the appearance of the American
ships outside Ell Moro, Captain Tucker
said he had not bothered his head about
it, and had not heard any one talking
On the subject.
1t is the OPINION of this correspond
ent that very little reliance can be
placed on Captain fuckers story.
The Ell Moro batteries were believed
to be firing at something about 3 P. NJ,
but it was impossible to ascertain
definitely whether this was SO or not.
The news from Matanzas, Cardenas
and Mariel is meager, but it indicates
that the blockade has been firmly estab.
lished at those ports.

FRANCE is
Official Notice Has Been Received of
the Proclamation.

Official Notice Has Been Received of
the Proclamation.
Washington, April 30.-The French
embassy today received a %cablegram
from Paris announcing that a decree of
neutrality between the United States
and Spain has been issued, and that a
detailed copy will be forwarded by
mail. On receipt of the dispatch, the
French ambassador, M. Cambon, wrote
to the state department informing it OF
frances neutrality. The cable notice
is brief, stating only that the decree
follows the treaty of Paris of 1856.
The state department has also been
informed that Mexico, Argentine Re-
public, Corea and Belgium have pro-
claimed neutrality. Cereals neutral
ity is considered important, owing to
her proximity to the Philippines.
The state department has heard
nothing from Germany, but this causes
no apprehension, owing to the strong
assurances Germany has given that she
will observe strict neutrality between
the belligerents. This assurance was
conveyed to Ambassador White, and is
looked upon as practically equivalent
to a formal declaration of neutrality.
Germany, Austria and Portugal are the
last of the important European nations
to declare their attitude.

TO GUARD THE COLUMBIA.
auxiliary Naval Vessel viii BE Sta.
toned at the Mouth.


Washington, April 3O.-It is the in
tention OF the navy department to have
n auxiliary naval vessel stationed at
the mouth of the Columbia river for its
protection, or in case of necessity. The
prooab lities are that one of the mer.
chant vessels which have been negoti.
ated for on the coast will be used for
this purpose, or some vessel that can
be readily obtained on the Columbia.
She will probably be armed with six
Founders and rapid-fire guns. The Or.
egon naval reserve will probably be
mustered in for service as her crew, as
1t Is desired that men familiar with
the river and Pacific Northwest be in
command or in position to render SER
vice on board the cruiser.

6oM6ARDMENT OF HAVANA

Not the Present Purpose of the Gov
eminent.
Washington, April 29.-The wal sit
uation is substantially this:
The blockading squadron remains
passive before Havana, with no present
purpose of bombarding or of drawing
the nre OF the shore batteries. The
strategic purpose of an effective block
ade OF the Cuban coast is being accom-
plished to the entire satisfaction of the
authorities here. There is no indica-
tIon that a part Of the fleet will be
Withdrawn for the purpose of affording
additional protection to North Atlantic
ports.
No word had come to the department
up to the close of Office hours OF the ar
rival OF the Montserrat at Cienfugos.
n officials are inclined to believe that
II she has gotten into port she did so
before the blockade of Cienfugos had
begun.
The very fact that the Madrid Off
c,ais have rather ostentatiously de-
cISred that the Spanish fleet has sailed
70 lombard the cities on the North At
'"htlc coast is taken as a certain indi-
cation at the navy department of the
utter lmprobability OF such a movement
IL TINS were contemplated, the Spanish
oLncials would be the very last to make
their purpose public.
d navy department, as yet, has
made no arrangements for the care Of
prisoners taken by our warships, but
.he legal officers of the department
tnihk they should be sent to Boston

Department Not Informed.

Washington. April $3.50 far as
could be learned, the officials of the
administration were not notified of the
bombardment of Matanzas yesterday
afternoon. The navy department keeps
a telegraph Office open in the building
all night and a confidential official re-
mains at the department all night to
translate the messages as received.
There was considerable business done
over the wires till the early morning
hours, but none of the dispatches were
sent either to the White House or to
the secretary of the navy.
