lords today the Liberal leader, the Earl
of Kimberly, questioning the govern
ment as to its intention in regard to
Wei-Hai-Wei, referred to the recent

saying the alliance mentioned by the
latter could only have been an alliance
for mutual defense against Russia, and
asked if the matter was SO Tar ad-
vanced that We may soon hear or a
great alliance with a European power"
He explained that he could not con-
ceive of any alliance with the United
states. because it would be contrary
to the policy the latter has always pur-
sued, adding that unless the govern
ment had made such approaches in the
direction of an alliance that ere long
the public may hear of its conclusion,
nothing was more likely 10 prevent its
conclusion than Mr. Chamberlain's
speech.
The Marquis of Salisbury, in reply,
declined to discuss Mr.. Chamberlain
speech on the plea that he did not
have 1t in his hands. Referring to
Wei-Hai-Wei, the premier declared
that port had been occupied ito en-
courage Chinese reform and to show
Japan and Ccrea our naval power"
Continuing the Marquis of Salisbury
said the governments policy was the

relations with all nations.

San Francisco, May 17.-Hongkong
papers received here state that as
soon as authority was received from
Washington, Admiral Dewey bought
the two large British steamers Nan
shan and Zafiro for transports with the
understanding that they We're to be
cleared of their cargoeS within "a hours.
The price for the former is not given,
but for the Zafiro the United States
paid 100000 Admiral Dewey retained
the British officers and crew, and his
energy in loading these vessels and
getting his own fleet coaled and loaded
with stores excited the admiration of
the English naval officers and mer-
chants of Hongkong. 1t is said that
Dewey drove a good bargain for the
transports, as he secured clause that
the former owners VIII take back the
ships at the close of the war at good
price.
The rebellion in the Philippines has
spread to the island of Cebu, the cen
ter of the hemp and sugar trade. 1t is
stated that all the foreigners, other
than Spaniards, are safe, and that the
natives will not seek TO modest them,
but the exact fate of the Spaniards is
still unknown. The whole of the island
is in the hands of the rebels. 1t is
feared that Panay and other southern
islands will also revolt, and precautions
are being taken to cope with such
contingency.
