Washington. May 15.-The dixpSfch-
cs from Hong Kong brought welcome
news to-dny from Admiral Dewey TO
the President. and particularly 10 sec-
refnry Long and fhe naval officers
who are watching the ndinirars move
ments with much Interest. While no
apprehension existed as TO Ills security
nevertheless reinsurance OF safety Is
always pleasant. The kilograms indl-
cate that Dewey has lost none Of flie
prestige gained in his memorable night
OF two weeks ago. and that while he
refrains from taking the city Of Mnniia
he has II practically Mt his mercy. The
admiral expresses the belief that the
rebels are hemming In the city b5'
land. but the fact that he says explIc-
itely that they have made no demon
stration seems to disprove thoroughly
the published reports that they had al
ready entered Maniln and had begun
career Of bloodslied and rnpine.
The dispatch as given out by Sec
retnry Long is as follows:

AT present there Is n deal Of dissen-

which are negotiating with the Ameri-

Whether Aguinnldo possesses enough
influence to reconcile these differences

cidedly increased. Not only was a
strong kind of port wine drank in
quantities, but Illicit stills were set up
in most back kitchens. and the people
drank the raw fresh spirits with la
mentable results. Even the children
were found intoxicated. and the arrests
for drunkenness increased from 80 to 80
per cent. Prohibition. in fact, totally
failed. as 1t might have been expected
TO fail in the circumstances. The only
community in which prohibition can be
enforced successfully is a community
in which nobody wants to drink liquor.
The Norwegians, or good many of
them. do want to drink. and will do SO
in spite of law if they cannot manage
1t lawfully.
