New York. April 30.-The city is on
the tiptoe OF expectancy for news of
an engagement of the Philippines,
which. IL il felt. cannot be long de-
layed. AYERS the Madrid correspondent
OF the Herald. Indeed. rumors have
been current since about 5 O'Clock that
the heets have already met, that the
Spaniards have defeated the Ameri-
cans and three American vessels have
been sunk. No official Information has
been received o can the rumor be
traced to its foundation.
A most noticeable change has taken
place in public opinion within the last
couple Of days. Before people were
confident that Spain would fight gall
lantly, now they are confident that
Spain will win. The Correspondence
says tonight:
Spain fears the conflict less and less
every day" This really optimises the
state OF the public mind. 1t is due to
the received from the Ameri-
a correspondents of Spanish papers.
These picture a state of anarchy as
reigning in the United States. The ma
and military conferences are shown
as changing their ideas about the plan
to be followed every day. They de-
scribe American ships as hopelessly
mishandled and the alleged encounter
between the Ligeria and the Gushing
a great Spanish victory. How
much truth there is in the reports ii
is impossible to find out. as no others
are allowed to enter.
The hope. too. that the powers may
take a hand in the matter begins
be re-entertained. owing to the re-
port that Germany has announced that
she will allow American troops to land
In the Philippines but will oppose a
bombardment on account of her COM
interests there.
