Its Capture Of More Importance Than

London. April 27.-The Hong Kong

ashore with Consul Wildman. accom-
panied the American squadron Thirty
insurgent leaders here wanted to ac-
company it, but Chief Aguinaldo goes
as their representative. He will take
charge of the insurgent forces at Ma
Mia. Admiral Dewey has issued strict
orders that no barbarous or inhuman
acts are to be perpetrated by the insur-
gents. The primary object is the cap
ture Of the Spanish fleet, which Ad-
miral Dewey thinks more important
than capturing Manila. He is deter
mined to prevent its preying upon
American vessels. On reaching Manila
he will demand its capitulation within
half an hour of its arrival. His men
are in the best spirits and excellent
health There have been nine deser-
lions, including six Cinnamon, one Ital-
ian and one German during the fleets
stay at Hong Kong. Every prepare
ton has been made. The ships are
cleaned and painted for battle and the
general opinion is that the fight in these
waters will result in an easy victory for
the Americans. Her ships carry 122

PRIZE COURT OF INQUIRY.
In Session at Key West-Speculations
Regarding Outcome.


Key West, April 27.-The prize court
of inquiry appointed by Judge Locke,
at Jacksonville, April "a, to adjust the
questions relating to the capture of
prize vessels, met here today. G. B.
Rowen Patterson of this city presided,
and the proceedings were conducted in
secret. The findings viii not be an
nounced until the entire matter has
been disposed Of
The case of the Catalina, which was
captured by the Detroit, and valued at
$4,000 was the first to be heard.
There is considerable speculation as
to what disposition will be made of the
crews and passengers who are aboard
the prizes when captured. They num-
Der about 230.
United States Attorney Stripping says
that the crews and passengers are not
prisoners, although the officers are de-
tanned as witnesses before the court
District Attorney Stripping was in
communication yesterday with At
torney General Griggs, who informed
him that the war department had as
Sumed control of the question, and the
attorney general directed that all pos
sible consideration should be shown to
the captured Spaniards. The crews Of
the captured vessels have been offered
liberty, but as many are without
friends here, they do not care to land
in a hostile city, despite assurances of
protection.
They will probably be brought ashore
here and quartered in barracks, under
guard OF federal troops, where rations
and all possible comforts will be pro-
vided for them.
A report from Washington to the eff
feet that the prizes would be returned
to Spain has caused keen disappoint-
ment among naval men here.
The work of the court will consist
merely of taking dispositions. which
will be submitted to the United States
court with which the final settlement
rests.

SENT OUT AS SCOUTS.

1t is thought fleet cruisers will be
sent out as scouts as soon as news is
received of a movement of the armadas
tc cross the Atlantic, and it is surmised
that is what the Columbia and the Min
neapolis ara doing now.
The tactics of the Spaniards are a
mystery. but it is suspected they may
make an attempt to lombard some of
the big cities on the north Atlantic
coast. 1t is possible that is the mission
of the Pelayo and her consorts, and it
is believed the American cruisers are
scouting the ocean to intercept them.
If they should be discovered approach
ing the United States the scout would
scud back to the nearest port and send
a message to the flying squadron. The
American navy is thus tied up to some
extent until the enemy shows his hand.
