Hongkong, May II. The United
States dispatch boat Hugh McCulloch
arrived arrived here from Manila with
dispatches for the United States gov
-ernment. She reports that the Spanish
gunboat Callao, from the Caroline is
lands, recently entered the port of Ma
Mia, being ignorant Of the outbreak Of
hostilities between Spain and the Unit
ed States. An American warship fired
across her bows and signalied her a
demand for her surrender. The de-
mand being disregarded, the American
ship fired direct at the Spanish gun
boat and the latter surrendered.
The populace of Manila is reduced to
eating horsehesh and the prospect of
relief seems far distant. The McCul-
loch also reports that the Philippine
insurgents applied to Rear Admiral
Dewey for his approval of an attack by
them upon the city. The admiral, it
appears, approved the plan provided no
excuses were committed The insur-
gents then pleaded that they had no
arms, with the exception of machctes,
to which the admiral replied: Help
yourselves at the Cavite arsenal" The
city of Manila, however. has not yet
been attacked. About 5000 Spanish
troops are guarding the rear landing
from Cavite to Manila. There is no
truth in the reported massacre of q
number of Americans. There has been
only a tritling incident during police
duty and nobody was hurt.
London, May II. The Hongkong
correspondent of the Standard says:
AFTER the Callao's crow landed they
p were released on parole and the Callao
~. was paraded in full view of Manila
city accompanied by the United States
cruiser Concord. When Mr. Williams.
the American consul, landed at Cavite
last week he was received with great
enthusiasm and followed in the streets
4 by crowd Of 1000 people shouting
Viva los Am"ricanoS.' There were no
Sims that the Spanish authorities in
anna were prepared to capitulate.
All the Spanish inha,itant and many
AS%British and German families have
, sought safety in the suburbs, taking all
their belongings.

THEY ARE NEUTRAL.
Three More Proclamations of Neu-
trality Received at Washington.

Washington, June 7.-Three more
declarations of neutrality are contained
in the advance sheets of consular re-
ports just issued by the state depart
ment. They were prOclamations of
CeylOn and the Straits settlement
Hayti and the Dutch West Indies. One
requirement of the first named procla-
nation that is little out of the or
binary is that no belligerent ship can
be permitted to receive any stores nee
essaries. or coal without permission
first obtained in writing from the har-
Dor master.
The Haytien circular is voluminous
and lays down with the greatest of ex-
actness the course to be pursued by
the government and people of that
country during the war. 1t prohibits
popular manifestations in public places,
or on the streets; the raising of any
emblem that may be considered Of
fensive to either one of the parties to
the war and requires citizens as well
as foreign residents to abstain from all
acts that may invite reprisals.
United States Consul TOurgee, at
Bordeaux has furnished the state de-
partment an interesting construction
of the neutrality laws laid down by
the French government The govern
ment of the Netherlands had refused
to clear the Norwegian steamer Fran
for a Spanish port with a cargo of re-
fined S2ltpeter and the same had been
cleared for Bayonne, France. This port
was in Consul TOurgee'S district and
he had reason to believe that the salt
petre would clear from that port for
Spain, whereupon he lodged protests
with the French officials Mr.. TOurgee
transmitted to the state department the
reply of the French government which
is as follows: Neutral governments
are formally prohibited from furnish
ing themselves directly, munitions of
war to belligerents; but the neutral
state is not required to prevent the
sending of arms and munitions by its
subjects and for a much stronger rea-
son by strangers. Under the conditions
if is not incumbent upon US to prevent
the deDarture of the Fran, which will
be allowed to continue her voyage at
her own risk and peril
This construction of the duty of
neutral nation agrees very closely with
that in the past given by the United
States so that there is no possible
ground for protest in the case.

Hutchinson, Kan, June 7.-Whatever
harmony existed among the assembled
Republicans last night disappeared this

fight is now in progress. Messengers

notes and confidential information to
the camps of Stanley, Billy Edwards,

slzirmishes for the big fight which is

The Shawnees arrived this morning
and discovered that Mr.. Leland had
abandoned Seaton and declared himself
for Hood Tom Anderson stormed,
swore and walked the floor.
A hasty conference was called and
the plan of battle outlined. Dick Blue
is also on the warpath and is mar
shalling his friends with the insurgents.
The first object is to defeat the Leland
plan of organizing the convention and
then defeat Leland's candidates in the
convention.

A BRITISH VIEW.
Admiral Colomb Writes of Samp-
sons Policy.

sons Policy.
London, June Admiral Sir John
Colomb writes as follows to a morning
paper with reference to the situation
at Santiago de Cuba:
81 am inclined to think that for the
purpose of blocking the egress of a
hostile war squadron this operation of
sinking the Merrimac is unique idea
though blocking up enemy's harbor
by sinking ships at the entrance is not
new What may be noted, however,
with advantage is that the peculiar
policy of Admiral Sampson is not the
policy of greater admirals, especially
of Lord Nelson, which was to tempt
blockaded fleet to put to sea in order
that it might be fallen upon and
destroyed. for when this has been done
a blockading fleet is relieved to carry
out other duties.
Sampson wants every ship that can
be spared, and, if the Spanish ships are
really blocked in, much of his blockad-
ing force may be detached. Still our
policy in a like case would not be to
block the channel and would only have
left a squadron off Santiago large enough
to make a fair fight should Cervera de-
termine to try his fortunes. Neverthe-
less Admiral SIMPSONS caution con-
firms what naval men, who are also
students of naval history, have always
insisted upOn-that the entry of war
ships into the ports of an enemy was
no more likely to be the practice of
SIedIHoTS IHdu O1 SdlIlnS SnlDS. All
through this war, however, what was
expected by the advanced school of
naval thinkers and a thing upon which,
indeed, much of our own policy has
been founded, has been conspicuous by
absence. Admiral Sampson has never
used his torpedo boats as it was ex-
pected they would be used. He has
never sent one of them into a Cuban
port by night to destroy ships such as
might be found at Santiago.
1T is plain that if a 5000 ton ship
could run into the narrowest part of
a channel at night. little torpedo boats
might have swarmed right through and
into the inner harbOr. What has caused
the expectation of these advanced
naval thinkers to be disappointed can
not yet be known, but unless things
alter before the war is over, we shall
be found reconsidering our policy in
this regard.
1.-The officers and men of the Merri-
mac have clearly acted with the great
est gallantry and, quite possibly, Ad-
miral Cervera's recognition of it may
be a step toward peace. But I do not
understand about Naval Constructor
HobsOn. Whoever commanded the
ship must have great experience in
pilOtage. The naval architect has none
All the work to be done was in a special
sense that of a naval officer pure and
simple, and L can not understand any
one else being chosen"
