u. S. PROTECTORATE.
Aguina1do Would Like to Have
One of the Philippines.

LONDON, May 16.-The Hongkong
correspondent Of the STANDARD" says:
After the CallOa's crew landed they
were released on parole and the Caloa
was Daraded in full view of Manila
City, accompanied by the United States
cruiser Concord. When Mr. Williams.
the American Consul. landed at Cavite
last week he was received with great
enthusiasm and followed in the streets
by a crowd of 1000 people shouting
Viva los Americanos!" There We're no
signs that the Spanish authorities in
Manila We're prepared to capitulate.
All the Spanish inha abitants and many
British and German families have
sought safety in the suburbs taking all
their belongings. In the business quar-
ters the buildings are covered with for
eign flags, the British predominating,
with a view of protection should the
insurgents capture the city. There is
much feeling against the British resi-
dents, but fortunately the number of
foreign men-of-war off Manila is con-
stantly increasing, and the position of
Europeans is becoming daily less pre-

tiating. l understand, with President
Mckinley I have reason to believe
that he is seeking to arrange for the
future government of the Philippines by
a native administration under the pro-
tectOrate of the United States. At
present there is a deal of dissensiOn
among the rebel factions, some of
which are negotiating with the Amer
leans. and others with the Spaniards.
Whether AguinaIdO possesses enough
influence TO reconcile these differences
and to induce the insurgents to pursue
a. common policy is questionable. Ad-
miral Dewey is we'll advised in waiting
for reinforcements. since the fall of
Manila would produce anarchy
throughout the islands. The English
here advocate a joint Anglo
administration. 1t is asserted here
that Admiral Dewey has recoaled three

HOW DEWEY DID 1T.
Insurgents Allowed to Take Arms
From the Cavite Arsenal

HONGKONG. May 15.-(Copyrighted

Culloch arrived here from Manila for
dispatches with the United States Gov
eminent She reports that the Span
ish gunboat Callao from the Caroline
Islands recently entered the port of
Manila. being ignorant of the outbreak
of hostilities between Spain and the
United States An American Warship
fired across her bows and signalled her
a demand FOR her surrender. The de-
mand being disregarded, the American
ship fired direct at the Spanish sun
boat and the latter surrendered.
The populace of Manila is reduced to
eating horse flesh and the prospect of
relief seems far distant
The Hugh McCulloch also reports
that the Philippine insurgents applied
to Rear Admiral Dewey for his ap-
prOVal OF an attack by them upon the
city. The Admiral, it appears, APP
proved Of the plan, provided 10 eX-
cesses We're committed. The insur-
gents then pleaded that they had no
arms with the exception of machetes,
Whereupon the Admiral replied: Help
yourselves at the Cavite arsenal"
The city of Manila however, has not
yet been attacked. About 5,ODO Span
ish troops are guarding the road lead
ing from CaVite to Manila.
