NEWS FROM MANILA
City Practically at the Mercy of
Admiral Dewey.
Can Capture Ii ut Any Moment-A
Strict Blockade Is Being Main
tained-RebeIs Hem
In the Town.

Washington, May 16. Dispatches
from Hong-Kong brought welcome
news Sunday from Admiral Dewey to
the president, and particularly to Sec
rotary Long and the naval officials who
are watching the admirafs movements
with so much interest. The kilograms
indicate that Dewey has lost none of the
prestige gained in his memorable fight
of two weeks ago, and that, while he
refrains from taking the city of Ma
Mia, he has ii practically at his mercy.
The admiral expresses the belief that
the rebels are hemming in the city by
land, but the fact that he says explicitly
that they have made no demonstration
seems to disprove thoroughly the pub
lished reports that they had already
entered Manila and had begun career
of bloodshed and rapine. The best evil
dence of the effectiveness of the block
ade maintained by the American adj
miral and also of the work of the in
surgents in surrounding the city is
shown in the statements in the dis
patches that provisions are scarce in
the city of Manila, which seems to indi-
cate TO Admiral Dewey an early sur
render by the Spanish authorities. The
dispatch, as given out by Secretary
Long, is as follows:
Dewey's Dispatch.
"Cavite. May 1S.-Hong-King May 10
Maintaining strict blockade. Reason to be-
lieve that the rebels are hemming in the
city by land. but have made no demon
stration. Scarcity provisions in Manila.
Probable that the Spanish governor will be
obliged TO surrender soon. Can take Ma
Mia any moment. Climate hot and moist.
