Madrid, May 6.-Riot still ramps and
raves through Spain and continually
threatens to break into revolutionary
war. 1t is apparent that the Sagasta
ministry is afraid to act heroically. The
mobs are temporized with where it is
feared shooting will lead to more serious
disturbances. In Gijon, province OF
Ovido, there was killing of women by the
troops during the rioting Fisher women
and tobacco girls caused a tremendous
demonstration. The guardia civil has
joined the rioters, many of the guards
having sweethearts among the disaffect-
ed women. Patrol duties were merely
an excuse for another outbreak. Men
were melted by agitators working for
the downfall of the government. The
Gijon massacre, instead of putting down
the riot, increased its violence. Mutter-
ings of revenge against the soldiery are
heard on all sides. The rioters attacked
Casa Blanca and almost demolished it..
The infantry fears to venture from the
barracks.
Americans Reported to Have Landed at
Cavite
Hong Kong advices say that the Amer
leans are reported to have landed at

courts and released the prisoners from
jail.

Spain's Foolish Talk.
Spanish authorities are intimating that
Commodore Dewey has been entrapped
by Spanish gunboats which were kept
concealed outside the harbor. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that they are only try
ing to make as much as possible out of
the absence of news from the American
feet.
Good News from Dewey.
A special from Shanghai says Com
modore Dewey, after crushing the Span
lsh fleet and disposing of Fort Cavite,
bombarded Manila, which was soon on
fire. A great loss of life is reported
Japanese Account of Manila Fight.
A special from Shanghai published to-
day gives what purports to be Japan
ese report Of the fighting at Manila, re-
ceived via Formosa. 1t says that after
disposing of the Spanish feet and Cavite,
Commodore Dewey bombarded Manila
itself. The city, it appears, was soon on
fire in many parts, the work chiefly of
insurgents. Great loss of life is reported
to have occurred among the Spanish.
Great Britain Will Not Interfere.
Certain powers have again made over
lures to Great Britain looking to inter-
vention in the war between Spain and
the United States, but Great Britain
persisted in her former refusal. 1t is a
significant fact that the British naval
authorities decided to Immediately COM
mission two new battleships, just COM
pleted.
Sampson May Attack Canary Islands.
A story is published here to the effect
that the British admiralty has been
notified by the Washington naval STRAIT
egy board to remove all British subjects
from the Canary islands. 1t is said this
accounts for British second-claSs cruiser
Charybdiss being sent to Las Palmas,

Admiral Sampson may attack the Canary
islands, which would either draw the
Spanish fleet out of Cadiz or give the
United States a naval base from which
to attack Spain.
