LONDON. July 14.-HOng Kong cors
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
General AguIualdo declares that both
the spaniards and the Germans have
made overtures TO him, though he de-
cliues to dIvulge their import. United
states Consul wildman asserts that
Admiral Dewey could compel the sur.
render Of Manila tomorrow II he liked.
He says his dispatches show that the
Germans continue to Interfere, their ao-
tlon causing much anxiety, as 1t is said
they are assisting the SpaniardB by
landing -four and other supplies and
moreover. that the German officers have
been seen In the Spanish trenches
1.-THE Germans have not been careful
to observe the naval courtesies requir-
cd By the situation They have given
Admiral Dewey much annoyance BY go
ing against his regulations and by In
sisting on sending their b0atS around
the bay after dark. At the same time
the German admiral informed Admiral
Dewey that he has no intention Of give
ing ofEense to America, and that his
movements are not to be construed as
any demonstration of lll-wIll. Admiral
Dewey is said to have replied; Per-
haps It would be better II matters were
managed little differently"
The German ships have done and are
stiIl doing rash and impertlnent things,
like the Irene incident.
"The Americans hope the SpaniardB
Will continue their waste OF arnmuni.
ton in fighting tho rebels and then
surrender Manila without bioodshed.
Admiral Dewey, on the report that
the German fleet was landing large
quantities of rice and flour for the
Spanlards, decided TO be more strict and
has put pinuace at the END Of the Jet
to to overhaul all launches going or
coming"

"Oh. yes Do, mother. dear. :" cried
Ruth
"No, certainly not 1 will accept

firmly. Besides my decided objection
to your rislzing the money, every one
would see in your action proof of my

''Stepsl Law proceedingsr' exclaim-
ed Ruth
Il see the force of what you say, I"
said Lady Hastings, moving on TO the
dining room, 'but remember l ann not
afraid of trusting you with $500"
Dinner passed silently, though Lady
Hastings was careful in her efforts to
make Carew eat When it was over
and the sound of wheels was heard as
the dogcart came TO the door, Carew
rose and took leave of his kind hostess
Il can never thank you enough, =" he
said in low voice full of feeling
"Do not thank me, Val The memory
of your help and devotion to my own
poor boy when he was dying far away
from us all is ever present with me-.
God bless you'll Goodby." Ruth shook
hands with him silently, and he hastily
left the room, but the next moment he
called her and she followed.
''Oh, Ruth. forgot to say I'll tele-
graph the moment ! find any traces. -
Then lowering his voice he whispered:
Forgive me for disturbing you with
the avowal that escaped me. l should
have mastered myself, but the touch OF
your hand--do not trouble yourself
about me, dear Ruth--goodby. And he
was gone
"What did Val want?' asked Lady
Hastings, with slight frown-
''Oh, to say he would telegraph as
soon ss he found any trace of Jamesr'
Eyes, of course he will. Why, Ruth,
my love, are you SO shaken?" For Ruth
had thrown herself into a chair and
burst into tears
