WASHINGTON, June 3O.-The officials
here are confident that Admiral Dewey
has received reinforcements under
Gen. Anderson, which sailed from San
Francisco on May 25, consis ting OF
Q $500 men. The Charleston certainly
has arrived, as she was leading the
transports some distance after leaving
Honolulu. With the addition of her 400
sailors and marines Dewey will feel
much safer. The navy department, it
now appears, did not expect to hear
of the arrival of the troop transports
by the 23d of this month, the date Of
Of the last report from Manila. They
had estimated that the transports
might be somewhat delayed by a con-
sideration for coal consumption, de-
string to avoid reaching Manila with
empty bunkers.

at Manila, as United States Consul
Haywood has succeeded in purchasing
about IL, 600 tons, some of which will be
forwardedt to the Philippines from Hon.

official note referred to by an English
newspaper this morning has caused NJ
disquiet here, nor has it thrown any
new light on the situation.
1t was stated positively here last
week that there have been no diplo-
matte exchanges between the govern
ments of the United States and Ger
many on the subject of the landing of
German forces in Manila, and the
semi-official note above referred &c
merely confirms that statement, and
shows that the same state of affairs
still exists.
The declaration in the note of the
German intention to and marines las.

the protection of Germans there" il
said t. be nothing more than a repeti-
ton of the provisions of the interna.
tional law on that subject. However
Admiral Dewey doubtless would be
consulted as to the existence
of such a necessity if the
requirements of neutrality are to be.
observed by Germany, and of that the
state department entertains no doubt
Nevertheless, it is not disguised that
the administration will feelgreatly re-
lieved when all the American military
forces have arrived and taken up the
