BATTLE EXPECTED AT MANILA.

London, Eng. April 81. According
to n special dispatch received hero to-
day from Madrid, tho Spanish Minister
Of Marine, Admiral Bermejo. received
q cipher message from the Spanish Ad-
miral 10 command at Manila, Admiral
Monteio, announcing that after taking
the measures necessary to organize the
naval deiencss of Manila and Cavite be
was about TO sail with his squadron to
take up position and await the com
ing Of tho United States fleet.
The Spanish Minister of Marine. the
jiapntch continues, forthwith COM
municateh with Premier SRgRsta, who
summoned the Minister for War, Con.
Correa, and the three ministers held a
conference. Shortly afterward another
dispatch arrived from the captain gen
eral of the Philippine islands, detail
ing the military measure he ia taking
TO support the action of tho Spanish
squadron and to defend Manila. Oavite
and other rlacss against any American
attempt to land In combination wi th
the insurgents.
The n, Wa soon reached the clubs and
the newspapers and created an Immense
sensation.
The Minister of Marine expressed the
belief that the United States squadron
would reach Manila in about 60 hours.
aud battle therefore ia expected in
about three dnyB. The naval mon hero
who are acquainted with the Philippine
Islards believe the Spanish squadron
will take up positions near Cavito, 30
as to be supported by the batteries
there and at Manila.

Is short.
London. April 27.-There is but little
news of interest as to the Spanish-
American situation on this side. Some
of the morning papers discuss the ques-
ton of neutrality. The Daily Chronicle
contends that the coaling stipulations
practically allow American men -or-war
to obtain full supply. A cruiser at
Queenstown. fer instance, could de-
mnnd sufficient coal to carry her to
New Yorli; ii at EonGknng, to carry her
to San Francisco. The Daily Chronicle
says:
This follows because the United
States has no coaling staten in the far
east. Whereas, wherever n Spanish
worship might enter for coal in the
West Indies, she would only he, at the
outside. 800 miles from Cuba or Puerto
Rico and consequently could only get a
supply available for single day."
The Daily Chronicle says also, I'VE
would rejoice should it prove true that
America obtains Mrs bay for use na n
naval station, and We would urge the
government to support the United
Staten II such demand ia made"
The Honglong correspondent Of The
Daily Mail says that number of Phil
ippine rebels there asked permission to
accompany the American fleet to Ma
Mia.
It is believed here that the United
States will gain little by operations at
the Philippines Even IL the fleet Sc
cured Manila the effect would only he
to lock up the squadron, which could
be more usefully employed elsewhere.
