LONDON, May "a dispatch from
Hong Kong to the Daily Mail, dated
Monday, says: Commodore Dewey's
feet Is off Corregidor island, hotly en-
gagged with the forts there.
Electrical experiments show that the
cable between Manila and Hong Kong
has been cut at or near Manila.
Another Hong Kong dispatch says:
The bombardment of Manila has be-
gun. The Inhabitants are fleeing to the
country. The operators in the cable
station in the midst of the forts have
fed to save their lives.
A rumor has been circulated that the
Spanish governor general of the Phil
ippine islands had sent flag of truce
to Commodore Dewey. This act is in
terpreted to mean the capftulation Of
rhe Spanish forces. This story is not
confirmed.
The British governor of the Straits
Settlements, Lieut.. Col. Sir S. B. H.
Mitchell, has sent a cablegram to the
colonial office here saying the United
States fleet ''annihilated the Spanish
fleet in two hours engagement
The dispatch adds that Commodore
Dewey last night demanded the surren-
der of all the torpedces and guns at
Manila and the control of the cables
under pain Of bombardment Gen.
August, the Spanish governor general
refused to surrender them, and it is
supposed the bombardment Of Manila
Is now proceeding.

pate, which Is expected to have impor-
tant results.

christina was due to American petro-
ieum bombs, and that a number OF
thatched huts belonging to natives were
set on hre in the same way.
Disaster Admitted.
The publication of the Liberals dis
patch from Manila removed the last
hope of the Spaniards. The fact that
the Liberal, which is Premier Sagasta's
organ, admitted the complete defeat OF
the CDa niards. gives additional sig
nificance to the frank announcement.
AT the termination of the cabinet
council this afternoon, the minister OF
marine, Admiral -Bermejo, declined 10
furnish any more infor1ration far -,,.s,--
iication. He said, however that the
first account sent out by the governor
general of the Philippine islands was
completely borne out by the later dis
patches.
The cabinet sat for four hours and
only discussed the Manila disaster. The
discussion showed the Spanish minis
ters are now fully aroused and will
exhaust their resources in defense OF
the national honor"
After the cabinet council, Gen. Cor
rea, the minister of war, and Admiral
BermeJo, the minister of marine. maie
a report to the queen regent The lat
ter was afiame with patriotic enthusi-
asm, and declared that, while the loss
or so many ships was misfortune
there was satisfaction in the reflection .
that the Spaniards had covered them
selves with honor. The queen regent
Is said to have added MY spirit can
never be daunted, so long as can rely
on the patriotism and courage Of the
Spaniards.''
Senior Romero Robledo, the Con-
servative leader and former minister OF
justice, is expected to inaugurate a
sensational debate in the chamber to-
morrow, in which he will be backed up
by the Carlists and Republicans.
Gen. Weyler, whose popularity is In
creasing, will also provoke a debate in
the senate.
The authorities have adopted the
most extreme military precautions to
check the increasing public indigna-
tion at the disaster TO the Spanish
fleet. Martial law will be proclaimed
if the government Is provoked over
hostile demonstrations in the streets.
The feeling of discomfort prevails ev-
erywhere. The military feel, equally
with the civil elements, the effects of
the disaster, in which, according to one
announcement, "our inferior war craft
although they fought pluckily, perish
ed through lack of foresight in respon-
sible quarters
The newspapers commenting upon
the defeat, agreed in saying that yes
terday was sad but glorious, day
for Spain" They urge the people to be
calm and to allow nothing to shake
their confidence in future triumphs OF
the Spanish arms.

the eonstitionality of the act of 1898,
CHAPTER n, prohibiting the sale of

heard Friday before Judges Stake
andlSloan, in the Circuit Court. The
queAtion was argued by g. S. Hamill

constitutional, and dismissed the petit
ton.

town council, and submitted to him
for his approval or veto, was also
heaf4. The town council, in obedi-
encelto a provision of the charter,

OF $50 upon each saloon-keeper in

disapprove it. and refused to return
it to the town council The court

turn it to the town council for its
further action, in order that the town
council might pass IA measure not

mus was granted.

A Very Sudden Death.

Joseph F. Lower, of Mt. Lake Park,
son of Mr.. Henry Lower, died very
suddenly and under rather distressing
circumstances yesterday afternoon
about three o'clock. Mr. Lower was
engaged with a number of other men
in repairing the railroad track at a
point between Weber's Station and
Mt. Lake Park at the time From
reports it was learned that he was
endeavoring to draw a spike from a
tie when the tool he was using slipped
from the head of the spike. This
caused him to fall suddenly backward
and it is presumed his neck was dis
located by the fall, producing instant
death. His body was taken to his
home shortly afterwards and prepared
for burial He leaves a wife and
three small children. The interment
took place today at 10 o'clock in the
Lower burying ground.
