Hong-Kong, May IS. = The steamer
Esmeralda, which has just arrived from
Manila with 400 refugees, chiefly
Chinese, reports that the United States
cruisers Concord and Boston are going
to Iloilo, where they expect prompt
capitulation and to recapture the Amer

The blockade OF Manila Is extremely

been refused admittance.
The rebels are useless as allies of Ad-

favor of Spain.
The Cavite arsenal was found empty.
Col. Giguel, of the artillery, committed
suicide because he discovered that the
ammunition was nonexistent.
Capt. Gen. August is trying to con-

st. Thomas, Danish West Indies, May
10.--Over 30 Puerto Rican refugees,
mostly women, with very little money,
arrived here Tuesday night on board
the French steamer Rodriguez. 1t is
reported that the governor general of
Puerto Rico has issued a proclamation
saying eight soldiers were killed and "a
were wounded as a result of the bonn
bardment of the forts at San Juan by
portion OF Rear Admiral Sampson's
feet on May IL. He adds that two guns
were dismounted at MORO Castle,
which otherwise were little damaged.
He also says the other forts were not
much hurt. In the town one shot, IL is
alleged, penetrated the palace, and the
corner of a powder house was carried
away. No school children were killed.
The Spanish transport, Alfonso KILL,
and the Spanish freight steamer, Man
uela, were damaged by the American
fire. The Spaniards, as usual, claim
they won a victory, basing this asser-
ton upon the fact that the American
warships departed under fire. But, the
refugees say, the city of San Juan is
still terrorizcd, its inhabitants being in
hourly fear of the temperance Of the

Key West, Fla, May 20.-The Spanish
loss during the recent engagement at
Cienfuegos is now known to have been
much heavier than at first reported.
Three hundred Spaniards were killed
and several hundred wounded. Great
damage was done along the coast. Soon
after the engagement the United States
cruiser Marblehead picked up several
Cubans in an open boat, some miles
down the coast, including Col. Oriz,
Lieut.. Olvarez and three privates, from
an .insurgent camp near Cienfuegos.
They reported that the Spanish losses
and the damage wrought by the shells
from the warship were very heavy. The
hospitals at Cienfuegos. they said, were
full Of wounded; and fear prevailed
everywhere that the American war
ships would return TO complete the
work Of destruction.
During the engagement the Marble
head threw $50 five-inch shells into the
Spanish forces, and 700 shots from her
second battery, and the gunboat Nash
vile as many more shells, and 1900
shots from her secondary battery.

Toledo, o., May 81. = Fire broke out
Friday evening in the coffee-roasting
department of the Dow g. Smell while

building, and it was nearly four hours
before the flames were under control.
Robinson Locke's celebrated collection
of pictures was destroyed, and the Blade
plant was so damaged that the paper
will have to issue from the Commercial
office for few days. The Blades loss
will be from $150,000 to 100000, while
Dow e. Smell will lose $250,000, though
both properties are fairly well insured.
Other losses were light. The total will
probably reach 100000.
Shortly after midnight the east wall
of the burning Dow-Snell building fell
with terrific crash, carrying Assistant
Chief Mayo and Firemen Herman l..
Bishop, Kizer Trepinski and wills
with it. Mayo escaped, but the three
men are missing and are supposed to
be buried under the debris. The men
were among the oldest of the depart

that the most terrible destruction was

New York, May 21.- L. @. Dun &

bilities of evil, and finding the nation

people are grasping the idea that 1t IL
throwing away some months of active
and profitable life to wait until war
clouds have passed. Western prosperity
has so greatly overbalanced timidity Of
eastern capital that actual business
done increases; railroad earnings
promise better for May than month
ago for April, and payments through
clearing houses for the week in May
show gain of SO per cent. over last
year and rs per cent over 1892, while n
month ago the increase over last year
was 1916, and compared with 1892 there
was a decrease of To per cent. Several
large contracts kept back for some
weeks because of hostilities have now
been placed, and, instead of works clos
ing or reducing force, returns show the
starting of some works long idle and in
crease of force or of hours at others.
Government work occupies many estab-
lishments, but it counts for little COM
pared with other demands. The key Of
the situation is the prosperity of the
west, which altogether unprecedented
marketing of breadstuffs has caused,
with the prospect of good crops to
come. These prospects and actual re-
ceipts of wheat, amounting to 5,s76,716
bushels for the week against 2,439, 1863
last year, with advances also in other
grain and cattle, have produced de-
mand for rails, cars, car materials, fenc-
ing, agricultural implements, boots and
shoes and all textile goods, which was
not anticipated from eastern indica-
tions. Failures for the week have been
$50 in the United States, against 24s last
year, and 30 in Canada, and against 81
last year."
