LEAVES HONG KONG.
Dispatch Boat Hugh McCu1Ioch Sails
for Philippines.

tOr rfhhilpplneS.
Hong Kong, May S.-The United
States dispatch boat Hugh McCulloch,
which arrived here on Friday with dis
patches from Admiral Dewey, officially
announcing his great victory over the
Spaniards, left here at o'clock this af-
ternoon, Greenwich time, on her return
to Manila, after, it is understood, re-
receiving many urgent dispatches from
Washington. But, it is believed the
McCulloch will first go to Mira bay to
await there final instructions for Ad-
miral Dewey, as to how he is to deal
with the Philippine islands.
According to reports current kere,
the American admiral will insist, by
force if necessary, upon the Spaniards
accepting at least temporary PRO-
tectorate of the United States, the de-
sire being, it is alleged, to avoid dis
turbing the present administration, as
it is pointed out the insurgents of the
Philippine islands are quite sure to
participate in their government How
ever it is believed here that If the
Spaniards do not meet the views of
Washington in. this matter that the
American admiral will take prompt
steps to administer the islands for. the
United States as soon as he receives
the necessary troops and supplies from
San Francisco.

STUDENTS FRANKS,
Many People Attracted to the Center of
the City.


the City.
Several hundred people were attract
ed to the center of the city last night
by what proved to be nothing more
than the pranks of the students. A
rumor to the effect that Porto Rico had
been taken by Acting Admiral Samp-
son, was circulated on the campus and
a student from an open window in
White hall emptied every chamber of a
seven shooter. This was a signal for
the rest of the students to begin their
noisemaking and they did it so effec-
lively that the reports were heard as
far out as Woodbridge. Revolvers,
shotguns, repeating rifles, cannon
crackers, ETC., were brought into play.
Many of the students didn't know
why or what they were celebrating,
but that made no difference, and they
fired away until their supply of noise
making materials was exhausted.
The citizens generally supposed that
big victory had in reality been won,
and they kept up a series of inquiries
as to the truth of the matter for sew
eral hours.

FOUNDER. The Spaniards continued to
fire shot and shell for twenty minutes,
but none of the latter shots came with
in one hundred yards. Some of them
were so wild that they aroused the
American ''jackies" to jeers. The
Spaniards only ceased firing when the
Morrill, and Vicksburg were completely
out of range. If all the Spanish gun
ners had been suffering from strabis-
mus, their practice could not have
been worse. But the officers of the
Morrill, and Vicksburg frankly admit
their own recklessness and the narrow
escape of their vessels from destruc-
tion,. They are firmly convinced that
the pursuit of the schooner ws a neatly
planned trick, which almost proved
successful.
If any one of the shots had struck
the thin skin of either vessel it would
have offered no more resistance than q
piece of paper to rifle ball. The ac-
curacy of the first few shots is account
ed for by the fact that the Spanish off,
GERS had ample time to make observa-
tions. The bearings of the two vessels
We're probably taken with a range find
er at the Santa Clara battery, and as
this battery is probably connected by
wire with MORO they were enabled to
take bearings from both points, and by
laborious calculations they fixed the
position of the vessels pretty accurate
ly With such opportunity for observ-
alton it would be no great trick for an
American gunner to drop shell down
the smokestack Of a vessel. AS soon
as the ships sheered off after the first
fire the Spanish gunners lost the range
and their practice became ludicrous.
Both Captain Smith and Commander
Lilly believed the Spanish refrained
from using the upper batteries in order
not to expose their exact location.
Later in the day the Morrill, captured
the Spanish schooner Espana, bound
for Havana, and towed the prize to
Key West. On Friday the French
schoolship Frigette Dobourdieu, carry
ing thirty guns in all, entered Havana
harbor. She was stopped by the Nor
rill and two saltues were fired by the
Annapolis before she showed her flag.

FAKE INTERVIEWS.
Mckinley Makes Official Denial of Yell
low journal Statements.

Washington, May S-Secretary Por-
ter made the following statement to-
night concerning the authenticity of
certain recent alleged comments by the
president on this weeks war specials
of several prominent newspapers: "In-
quiries have been made so frequently
that it seems some official statement
should be made concerning them. The
quotations alluded to are bogus not
only in text but in substance. The
president made no such comments
either to representatives of the press
or to individuals. Since Inauguration
he has adhered strictly to the policy
of not talking for publication and this
will continue to be the invariable
rule in the future. Any other course
would be injudicious for reasons which
need not be dwelt upon. The same ap-
plies to Mrs. Mckinley, who has sav-
eral times recently been misquoted as
having granted authorized interviews.
The president and the administration
Of course rejoice in all the reputable
successes of American journalism, Of
which we have many fine specimens
nowadays, but self laudation and exag-
geration detract from rather than add
to the brilliancy of those achievements.
Our great papers should prize truth
not less highly han boldness and push"

BIG FIRE IN DULUTH,
Fifty Frame Buildings Destroyed-2,O 900
Homeless People.

Duluth, Mimi, May S.-F,ifty frame
buildings on Minnesota Point, just
above the ship canal, were burned this
afternoon. An hour after the fire
started 1000 people were homeless. The
fire destroyed twelve frame store
buildings fronting on Lower Lake ave-
nue. just below the Under the Hill'
district and swept from there back to
the lake shore. The district was popu-
lated by the poorest people in the city.
There are no particularly large individ-
ual losses. The total is thought to be
over 100000. Among the sufferers were
fifty families of Jews, members of a
colony, who were at a prayer meeting
for the success of the American army
in the war with Spain. There were
many narrow escapes from death, but
it is believed that everybody was res
cued.

SEVENTEEN SPANISH SHIPS
THEIR ARRIYAL AT PORTO RICO rs
RUMORED.

Advices From Cape Haytien Say Admiral
Sampson's Fleet Was Sighted to the
North and That a Battle is Possible BY
Tuesday = Montgomery Believed to
Have Been Chased BY the Spanish
Cruiser Vizcaya.
Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.)
Port au Prince, Hayti, May S.-The
United States cruiser Montgomery
Commander G. A. Converse, is suppos-
ed to have been engaged with much
larger Spanish cruiser last night north
west of Cape Haytian, a seaport town
of Hayti, on it's north coast, ninety
miles from Port au Prince. While the
French steamer Olinde Rodrigues, from
Havre on April 16, for Haytien ports,
was at Cape Haytien, a Spanish war
ship is said to have been watching her,
mistaking the steamer for an American
vessel. When the Olinde Rodrigues left
Cape Haytian the Spaniard approached
her and allowed her to continue on to
this port on recognizing the French
flag.
The United States cruiser Montgom-
cry left Cape Haytian soon afterwards
and the Spaniard, which is presumed to
have been watching her, is said to
have pursued the American cruiser,
both of them putting on full steam. The
Spaniard, according to the story told by
the crew of the French steamer, gained
in the pursuit, which was witnessed
from the bridge Of the Olinde Rod
rigues, by the officers Of that vessel.
The two warships, they say, went in
the same general direction, with the
Spaniard behind. The latter appeared
to be a formidable vessel, and much
larger and faster than the Montgom-
cry.
BY nightfall, it is added, four dis
charges Of cannon were heard, which
were believed to be the result of the
Spaniard firing upon the American
warship. Darkness, it is further said.
prevented any further observations be-
ing made, though the French officers
say the moon was so bright that the
battle could have been continued, es-
pecially as the sea was beautifully
calm, only mild trade wind blowing
from the land.
The arrival is rumored late this even
ing of seventeen Spanish vessels, war
ships and others, at Porto Rico and a
battle is expected on Tuesday. 1t is
also reported from Cape Haytien that
Rear Admiral SIMPSONS squadron has
been sighted to the north. The vessel
which pursued the cruiser Montgomery
is supposed to have been the Spanish
warship Vizcaya, and it is suggested
that possibly the Montgomery enticed
the Spaniard within striking distance
of Admiral Sampson. The crew of the
German ship Bolivia, Captain Bruhn,
which arrived to-day, say they heard
cannonading to the northward about 4
o'clock this afternoon. Advices from
Cape Haytien say that yesterday off
Mole st. Nicholas two Spanish war
ships captured a. schooner bound for
Cape Haytien.

Spanish Ship in Battle Of
Manila Bay Opened Fire
After Lowering Flag.
AT ONCE SHOT TO PIECES
SHE WENT 10 THE BOTTOM WITH
ALL ON BOARD.

After the Lowering of Her Flag Boats
Crew From the American Fleet Was
Sent to Her and She Fired Upon Them
Shots Did Not Take Effect-The Num-
Der of Killed and Wounded Placed at
1,OOO-Papers Captured at Caytte-
Spaniards Showed Some Bravery.
London, May 9.-The Hong Kong cor
respondent of the Daily Mail gives the
following additional details of the bat
tie at Manila: There was an act of
treachery on the part of a Spanish boat
which lowered her flag and then fired
at a boats crew sent to her. She did
not hit the boat, but our guns were
turned on her and tore her to pieces.
She went to the bottom with all on
board Several vessels close in shore
behaved in the same way and shared
her fate. The Spaniards had fought to
their last gasp and now surrendered.
They had been announcing that the
Americans would kill every one in Ca
vite and when we landed a long pro-
cession of priests and Sisters of Mercy
met the boat from the Petral and beg
ged our men not to injure the wounded
in the hospital. AS a matter of fact,
the Americans rescued some two hun
dred Spaniards and sent them ashore.
All the Spanish vessels are destroyed,
with two thousand men. The Spanish
estimate gives their loss as one thou
sand killed and wounded. In the Reina
Christina two hundred men are beliey-
ed to have been killed or drowned.
'The officers of the gunboat McCul-
bare testimony to the bravery of the
Spaniards. They particularly praised
the gallant crew of the flagship. They
consider the result of the fight a re-
markable instance of the advantage of
long range firing to the side which is
better in artillery and craftsmanship.
Private papers captured at Cavite show
it was intended that the Spanish fleet
should engage the Americans outside
the bay. No information could be OBJ
tanned regarding the change of plans.
My informant told me a landing was
not effected at Manila, where food is
scarce, as Admiral Dewey could not un-
dertake any responsibility. Still I do
not think there is any danger of the in
surgents massacreing the population of
Manila. If they began to do so Admir-
al Dewey would land men and stop
them.
"The American commodore has wired
for instructions regarding Manila, not
caring to take over the city on his own
responsibility. Supplies of food are be-
ing stopped by the insurgents at Man
ila and Cavite, where the hospital has
been plundered for food. The Ameri-
cans landed supplies for the Spanish
wounded. The Olympia was hit thir-
teen times during the engagement"
