Paris Paper Suggests Now Is the
Time For Mediation.

Paris, May "A dispatch from Ma

Mia, in his visit to Commodore Dewey,
made representations in behalf of the
consular corps against the lombard

says:
French. British and German war ves-

ships surrendered, and the majority
persisted. Two Spanish commanders
were killed. while resisting at the last
moment.
The Spanish losses are estimated at
400 men killed, including many natives
The American squadron attacked fur
iously both the Spanish squadron and
Cavite. where it caused great dam

Commenting editorially on the battle,
the Temps says:
THE United States put into the bal

sources and forces, to leave a doubt as
to the result"
Later the Temps says: Directly

CHICAGO GRAIN REVIEW.
Manila Victory Contributed to Decline
In Wheat

Chicago, May 2.-On the belief that the
war would soon be ended prices today
declined on the board of trade. Despite
higher quotations in Europe traders here
sold everything freely. Trading in wheat
began with the American naval victory
at Manila uppermoSt in the speculative
mind. Traders believed that the end Of
the war was already possibly in sight and
that it would be followed by a cessation
of the urgent foreign demand
From the start professionals sold July
wheat freely l cent below Saturdays
close. They did that in spite of the TACT
that Liverpool started Id higher and did
not convince themselves of having per-
haps too hastily commenced discounting
the termination of the war until later
quotations from Liverpool showed steady
material additions TO the initial advance.
The Chicago bears amended their or
ganic views for continued strength and
there was a recovery in the course of an
hour of all the early decline. RumOrs of
the surrender of Manila caused several
sharp breaks later. The visible supply
decreased 2,261 300 bushels. Fine weather
reports were offset by predictions of frost
in the west. July started l cents lower
at from 1875 to "a cents, improved gradu-
ally to 943s, dropped back to 941s and ad-
vanced again to 952s 1t dipped as low

ceived through the press that the Span
ish forts. such as they were, have been
destroyed by the American fleet. So
far as is known here, the only defense
of Manila in the shape of fertilization
that amounts to anything is that Of
Cavite.
1t was scarcely expected in naval cir
cles that Commodore Dewey would act
with such great promptness in enter
ing the Manila harbor. 1t is believed
its mouth was too wide to be COM
manded by the inferior ordnance of the
Spaniards, and that the water was too
deep to permit the successful defense
of the entrance to the inner harbor by
mines. The charts show that the har-
Dor entrance is no less than five miles
across. But it is by no means certain
that mines have not been placed in the
inner harbor and it was plucky I'M
tertaking for Commodore Dewey to
enter this harbor without spending
some time in cautious exploration and
countermining.
Manila has a population of 100000
people, so that probably 1t would be
very difficult for Commodore Dewey
to spare enough men from his fleet to
maintain possession of the town I'M
less he can arrange to secure the sup
port of the insurgents, with whom he
is understood to be in communication.
No matter what happens, it is not ex-
pected that Commodore Dewey will
lombard the town today, II at all, Tor
it is said al the navy department that
except in a great emergency he Will
follow the dictates of international
law and give notice of from "a to As
hours of his intention to begin bonn
bardment in order that non-combatants
may retire from danger. The large
English and German interests in
Manila, it is thought, will weigh with
the commodore and cause him to give
the notice commonly communicated
prior to a bombardment.
While filed with qualification that he
made no attempt to conceal, Secretary
Long received the detailed account Of
the enga cement of Sunday very cody.
Without showing the least disposition
to detract from the glory that had
been won by Dewey and his captains,
the secretary naturally felt that no
small share of the victory should be
charged TO the directing forces in the
department which had so carefully and
painstakingly laid the plans for
Dewey'S campaign.
After speaking in the terms of the
highest commentator of the COM
modore, Secretary Long said, the
American fleet has come up to what
was expected of it. Its success shows
that it was not a rash undertaking of
the department to send the ships to
Manila under such a commander as
Dewey with his captains and his men.
His ships, in the fine condition they
were in, were positively expected to
sweep the Spanish fleet away and take
Manila. The action of the navy de-
partment in ordering this movement
seems to be thoroughly justified.

been overestimated. The best two
ships, the Columbia and the Nor
MAMMA, formerly of the Hamburg
American line, are yet unarmed, and
it is believed they will be unable to
secure armament.
The chief factor of the remainder of
the Spanish force of auxiliary cruisers
consist in the six steamers belonging
to the Barcelona Transatlantic
Steamship company. They are fairly
well armed, but they have been scat
tered.
Two of them are with the Cape de
Verde squadron, as transports; one is
conveying the torpedo f1otilla; another,
it is said, is AT Santiago de Cuba, and
two are at Cadiz.

MAINE WILL BE AVENGED.
War Shall Not Stop Till This Is Ac-
complished.

New York, May IA dispatch to the
Journal from Washington says:
The state department has learned
through its secret agents that the
wreck of the battleship Maine lying in
the Havana harbor had been destroyed
by the Spanish authorities. 1t is sup
posed by officials of the administration
that this action on the part of the
Spanish authorities had been taken to
prevent the raising of the wreck, after
the capture of Havana.
A cabinet member is authority for
the following statement to the Journal:
I'VE shall make it a part of our first
business after taking possession of
Havana. to find out who were the per-
petrators OF that crime of the night of
Feb. is.
IF we find that they have escaped
from the island and have gone back to
Spain we will follow them there and
we will tell Spain that the war shall
not stop until they are delivered up to
as for punishment"

BRITISH PRESS OPINION.
London Newspapers Discuss the Fate
of Philippine Islands.

London, May 2.-The afternoon news
papers today comment at length upon
the victory of the United States fleet at
Manila.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: 1.-The
earlier Spanish stories left no shadow
of doubt that the Spanish fleet had
been, TO put it roundly, smashed, and
the later information this morning
places it even beyond possibility of a
Spanish denial
The newspapers all discuss the ulti-
mate fate of the Philippine Islands, as
q question in which the European pow
ers are vitality interested, and they
agree in saying that another element
of discord has been introduced in the
far eastern scramble
The Evening Standard, commenting
on the American victory, says:
Every one will hope this, prompt and
decisive blow TO the Spanish forces will
lead to an early termination of hostili-
ties, hope which has been encouraged
by the remarkable language of Senior
Silvela in the cortes, when he declared
the Cuban problem is reduced to
question of honor for Spanish arms

SPAIN is oUTCLASSED.
Cabinet Thinks Manila Victory Is the
Recinnino of the End.

BEGINNING OIL The Flu.
washington, May 2,-The general
opinion among prominent members of
the administration is that the naval
victory at Manila is not only highly i'm
portant of itself, but that it will have
a very decided influence among the ma
tons of Europe, which may ultimately
result in their united action in forcing
Spain to an early REIMBURSEMENT OF
the impossible task of compelling the
United States to change its course with
respect to Cuba. The attorney general,
when requested, said that in his judg-
ment the Manila victory was the be
ginning of the end. A few such defeats
must convince the Spanish government
that their case was a hopeless one, and
it was his opinion that it would be a
matter of only few weeks, or months
at least, before Spain would be anxious
to reopen negotiations with the
United States with a view to complete
surrender of her sovereignty over Cuba.
Thinking men, he said the world over
have been convinced from the first
that there could be but one issue to the
present struggle-Spanish sovereignty
in this hemisphere must end complete
ly and forever. This view, he believed,
had been shared by the leading MEM
bers of the Spanish government, but
they were powerless to prevent a con-
fiict which they we'll knew must result
fatally to their cause,
Secretary Gage held similar views,
and he was inclined to the opinion that
Spain might not wait for more crushing
defeats before she set on foot negotia-
tons looking to the cessation of hos
tilities. There had not been from the
first, and could not be, any question
as TO the final result of war between
the two countries. We were so far su-
perior to them in everything that goes
TO make up a great nation that only a
short time would be necessary, in his
Judgment, to demonstrate, even to the
satisfaction of the Spaniards chem
selves, that they We're completely out
classed. However, the initiative prob
ably would be taken by a concert of
that influence would be brought to bear
upon the Spanish government could
not be foretold.
Although the victory of the Philip
pines undoubtedly will have the effect
of releasing at least a part of Com
modore Dewey's fleet, members of the
administration are not inclined to dis
cuss what action will be taken in that
regard. Whether or not they would be
sent westward against the Spanish
fleet at home or proceed east to join
our own fleet in the Atlantic, is not
known. 1t is obvious, however, that as
soon as the islands have been taken
complete possession of by Commodore
Dewey, a sufficient force of United
States troops will be sent thither to
hold them and to exercise proper super
vision -.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

aries Increased-New Board.


Logan, May 2.-The following bust
ness was transacted by the retiring
board of trustees of the Agricultural
college on Saturday:
Professor Lewis T. Cannon, who will
shortly leave for Europe, rendered his
resignation, which was accepted.
The resignation of Miss Rosannah
cannon, as Instructor in elocutioD, was
accepted, but no action was taken to-
ward filling her place, although there

1TOIeSSOT George j.. SWenQSSn, Tor

ucn as instructor in the English de-
partment, but there being no vacancy,
the application was not considered.

HULL AND SEAMAN FREE.
No Proof of Corpus Deficit In Wicki-
ger Case.

Provo, May I'm the district court
today the trial of Brigham Hull, charg-
ed with administering drugs with felon-
lous intent, was proceeded with. At the
close of the testimony offered by the
state, counsel for the defendant moved
the court TO instruct the jury to render
a verdict of not guilty, and after quite
an extended argument, the motion was
granted and the defendant was dis
charged.
As the facts in the case against Will
liam Seaman are practically the same
as those against Hull, the court also
directed a verdict of not guilty in the
case against Seaman. The motion was
granted upon the ground that there was
no proof of the corpus deficit, and not

NO BoMBARDMENT NECESSARY.
Dewey Can Take Manila Without Re
sort to Such Means.

Washington, May 1T is said at the
navy department that it is not the pur-
pose of Commodore Dewey to lombard
Manila except as a last resort His
plans contemplate the taking of the
town, but it is not believed that any
thing in the nature of a general bonn
bardment will be necessary to accom-
plish this purpose.
The news that the Spanish soldiers
were to make a stand on the plaza in
dictates that some further resistance is
likely, but it is believed that this can
be overcome by a few we'll directed
shots of the warships. The officials
believe from the information so far re-

Another Blanco Lie.

Madrid, May 2.-Captain General
Blanco cables that IAN American iron
clad and three smaller vessels attempt
ed to land in boats off Herradura at
$3.50 D. m. on aSturday. The troops
fired on them and the warship replied
with a cannonade. but the boats re-
turned to their ships, which disappear
ed at s o'clock
This inaccurate and exaggerated dis
patch of the captain general of Cuba
undoubtedly refers to the few shots
fired by the flagship New York at a
troops of Spanish cavalry near Cabanas
on Friday evening last. Herradura is
a small place in Cabanas bay.

event to note in the money market was
the prevailing belief that the war may
collapse soon and the revival of the New
York demand for gold.
New York bought 100000 sterling

The immediate future of the money
market hinges on the New York demand
for gold and the effect of the Chinese
