If there was anybody in the United States

MANILA READY TO SURRENDER
BACKBONE OF SPANISH RESIST
ANCE BROKEN.

Spaniards VIII Haul Down the Flag
If Their officials show an IncIinn-
tiOn to Hold Out when Real show
lombard the Town Manifested.
Spaniards Look Upon Germany's
Big Fleet as a Manifestation of the
kaiser's FriendIiness.
Vancouver, B. c., July 20.-Accordng to
a6vices brought by the Empress of India
from Hong Kong. the chief news from
there is that Manila is ready to surrender,
Not that the archbishop and captain gen
eral voluntarily will capitulate before they
are compelled TO do So but that the back
bone of resistance is unquestionably broken
and that under a real show of force and
intention to lombard the town if the Off
cals do not give in, the Spanish will haul
down the Spanish flag. limitations to this
effect are received from many sources.
The correspondent of the Hong Kong
press, writing under date of June 90 says
the chief subject of discussion in Manila
and Cavte and on the American fleet is
the presence there of so many Germen
sells in port. l have just interviewed
leading Englishman here on the subject.
He unhesitatingly informed me that all
foreigners in Manila as well as Spaniards
regard it as a remarkable demonstration.
It am sure" he continued that the
Spaniards have received encouragement
from such a naval display A Spaniard
to-day told me that the coming of a large
German squadron was construed by him
and leading Spanish officials rs a direct
act of friendly interest and warning to-
ward the Yankees that they could not go
too far. Now, when a Spaniard of in
fiuence, as this man was, will talk like
that, I think it is high time TO ascertain
what the Germans mean by appearing
here in such force.
Il am familiar my informant contin-
ued with all the German interests in
Manila and my relations with the Ger
mans are very agreeable, and 1 am posi-
tive that one war vessel would be fully
able to protect them to every extent they
required"
Further details of the great fight May
l filter through some high officials of Ma
Mia as time passes. 1t now appears, ac-
cording to authentic informa ton lin the
hands of Consul Williams, that out of
491 men on the Reina Christina, 964 were
killed, only 1H leaving the ship.

London Times Points Out Hopeless
ness of Spain's Fight.
London, July H.-The Times editorially
reproaching the Spanish government this
morning with moral cowardice in en-
deavoring to screen its own mismanage-
ment by pretending that Gen. Toral has
betrayed his country" says: 1T is in
credible that Spain can hope for anything
from Cuba, as it is impossible for Gen.
Blanco, as it was for Gen. Toral, TO fight
against hunger and it is unlikely that the
former viii have anything else to fight
with for some time to come. Neither can
anything be hoped from European inter-
vention, even if Commodore Watson's
squadron comes, though its arrival would
be an unwelcome spectacle to more than
one European Power.
1T may be assumed that Commodore
Watson's authorization to visit the Phil
ippines will not weaken the disposition
al Berlin to cultivate friendly relations
with America and TO make light of the
escapades of German ships at Manila"
