Associated Press Special Wire
LONDON, June 1.-THE Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard says:
| 1.-The news from Manila is most unfavor-
able. and has made a corresponding i'm
preston. Serious misgivings are felt re-
garding the fate of General Monet, at the
head of strong column operating at some
distance from the coast.
'It is said that many foreign residents
with their families and valuables have
taken refuge on board British. French and
German war vessels, while others have
left for China and Japan.
| 1.-The Madrid press expresses surprise
| that the archbishop of Manila should have
left the city at such moment, unless it
| is true that he wishes thereby to signify
| his disapproval of the reforms Captain
General August has promised the natives
| in the hope Of checking the spread of the
| insurrection.
Most of the papers express fear that
! the next news will be of the fall of Manila
The whole question in the eyes of the Span
| iards is whether Admiral Dewey can pre-
vent Aguinaldo from pushing on HOSTILE
ties against Manila until the American re-
| inducements arrive, since otherwise it is
| supposed he will have to allow European
war vessels to cooperate in the difficulty
of maintaining order and saving Manila
from the excuses of the insurgents.
Every noticeable today is the fact that the
| explanations of German Intervention are
! subsiding, though there is deal of COM
ment on the large German naval force
collected at Manila"
The Gibraltar correspondent of the Daily
| News says:
There is a great indignation here at
! the American threat to lombard Cadiz
As for the rumor that Spain has sold the
Philippines to Germany, there have been
so many irregularities in the war that one
more would not matter. So say the Span
iards."
| The Vienna correspondent of the Times
says: "There is every probability that Aus
| tria will continue to remain neutral. All
reports as to Austria's impatience for
mediation are completely devoid of foun-
dation."
| Some Plain Talk
| LONDON, June 16.-The Berlin cores
pondent Of the Star telegraphs from the
German capital today as follows:
1.-The United States Embassy declare TO
me that the United States will not permit
German troops to be landed in the Philip
pine Islands. The Germans, the Americans
added, have as little right to occupy any
part Of the Philippine Islands as they have
to occupy New York. Manila and the Phil
ppine Islands, they point out, are now
United States territory"
The Mad War Lord Talks
BERLIN, June 1.-THE Cologne Gazette
today publishes a note understood to be
semi Official which reads as follows:
According to trustworthy information
all conjectures in the press and political cir
Giles in Spain which are being built on the
supposed intention of Germany to abandon
her neutrality In the Philippines question
are entirely baseless. In Spanish official
quarters the arrival of German en-of-war
at Manila Is regarded as perfectly natural
for the German interests there demand pro-
lection"
The correspondent here of the Associated
Press is informed that there is no change
and that no change is contemplated in Ger
many's attitude of neutrality At the out
break Of the war, Emperor William said he
intended to adopt a strictly impartial
course, adding that he would certainly not
do anything to disturb the relations Of
commerce and blood between Germany
and the United States, where so many Ger
mans have found hospitable homes This
attitude his Majesty still adhered to and
he has emphasized it within the past few
days by saying that nothing will be done
by Germany at Manila beyond protecting
German subjects.
The attitude of the German government
as it was pointed out, must in no wise be
judged by the hostility Of the majority of
the German press and people toward the
United States.
Will Not Tolerate It
NEW YORK, June ia dispatch to the
World from London says:
Neither Russia nor France-and still less
England-would tolerate any attempt to
turn Americas gallant overthrow of the
Spanish fleet and virtual capture of Manila
to Germany's special advantage.
International jealousies guarantee that
America will not be troubled by any inter-
ferences in the Philippines.
This is the opinion In high political quar-
ters here.

is said on best authority to be simply desire

Deweys squadron for naval reasons, and
