lister to Spain, arrived here last even
ing. Before leaving Madrid an attempt
was made by the Spanish police to ar
rest Mr.. Moreno, Mr.. Woodford's sec
retary, on the ground that he was a
subject of Spain. Minister Woodford
placed himself in the doorway of the
compartment in which Mr.. Moreno was
travelling and told the Spaniards that
they must assault him (Woodford) be-
fore reaching Moreno. Minister Wood
ford declared he had placed his secre-
tary under the British hag. The span
iards finally withdrew. Ms. Moreno
was bern at the Spanish penal eelOny
at Csuta, whore his father haa been
sentenced ta ufe exile fer participating
In a Republican NppasiAg in spain. Ho

regards as the zeRsecutor OF his

possessed Of a splendid Spanish ana

New York, April PA report is in
circulation here that the United States
war fleet commanded by Commodore
Dewey is hundred miles of the Phil
ippine Islands in line OF battle. Com
modore Dewey is TO invest and take
possession Of Manila, a fortified port
This may not be accomplished without
considerable fighting. as a strong bat
terry is located at the entrance OF Man
liza harbor. There have also been sta
toned there n number of Spanish war
ships. II has been asserted that the
Spanish feet there has orders TO con-
centrate the entire naval strength
about the Philippines and give the
Americans a battle.
1t is believed in London, according to
a cablegram just received, that the
United States will gain little by opera
tions at the Philippines. Even If the
fleet secured Manila, the effect would
be only TO loop up the squadron, which
could be more usefully employed else
where.
The idea that America may blockade
the Philippines has caused great un-
easiness at Hamburg, where 1t is re-
marked that a blockade would damage
English and German interests far more
than Spanish. OF the sS great trading
houses at Manila only five are Spanish.

be shown in the application Of the laws
where a vessel is not contraband or at
tempting to run the blockade. That is
shown in the liberal terms Of the proc

that the administration has not been

TO the state department from the four
quarters of the globe yesterday show
ing that the nations as a rule are pre-
pared to assume an attitude of strict
neutrality as between the United States
and Spain in the present struggle. In
most cases they were in answer to the
identical note sent out on Monday by
the state department to all United
States embassies and legations in
structing them to inform the govern
ments TO which they were accredited
that war has existed since April 21.
The president issued a proclamation

IL is believed. viii be the release of
some of the ships already captured.
though il will be for the prize courts Ia
determine in each case whether the
conditions under which the ship was
captured are such TO warrant release
The impression prevails that the Buena
Ventura, the first on the list OF prizes
will be declared no prize. The case OF
the Panama, whose seizure was report
ed yesterday. is more complicated, ow-
ing to the fact that. while otherwise
exempt, the ship was reported TO have
contained supplies for the Spanish
army in Cuba, which are contraband-
