TWICKENHAM INCIDENT.
British Think It Has Been Given
Too Much Importance.

WASHINGTON, June 16-The Brit
ish authorities are of the opinion that
too much Importance has been given TO
the civil authorities had taken pos
in which the British Vice-Consul Mr..
Taylor, and Ensign Payne, command
ing the prize crew of the Twickenham,
figured.
Mr.. Taylor, the Vice-Consul is an
American and man of large business
interests at Key West. 1t is presumed
here that the young naval officer was
obeying literally some instructions to
exclude all persons from the ship until
the civil authorities had taken pos
session, and that he thereby prevented
the British Vice-Consul from communi-
eating with the Captain of the ship.
In similar case which occurred at Key
West recently, involving the British
steamer Myrtle Green, as soon as the
State Department was notified by the
British ambassador here it courteously
issued instructions, to be forwarded
through the Attorney Generals office
to the authorities at Key West, to per-
NIT the British Consular official to
consult freely with the Captain of the
Myrtle Green. ambassador Pauncefote
to-day called at the State Department.
and it is presumed that a similar in
struction will be dispatched to Key
West, if it should be necessary, this
time through the Navy Department.
The officials have no intention Of

POLICE AFTER CLAUS 1sAKsEN
Embezz1ed a Large Sum From Pa.
cific Rolling Mills.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10 The
police are searching for Claus Isaksen,
formerly a trusted employe of the Pa
cific Rolling Mills, but who was dis
charged by that concern on May Both.
Shortly after his discharge it was dis
covered that there was something radi-
cally wrong with his books, and an in
vestigation showed that a large sum of
money was missing. Every effort made
20 discover his whereabouts proved un
availing.
On Tuesday last he presented himself
to the paymaster of the Southern Pa
cific Company and presented a bill for
several thousand dollars, which was
paid, on the belief of the paymaster
that he was still in the employ of the
mill
1t is said that the shortage will ex-

THE FALL OF MANILA.
Spanish Papers Fear That Will be
the Next News Received.

LONDON. June 1.-THE Madrid COR
respondent of the STANDARD" says:
''The news from Manila is most unfa-
vorable, and has made a cores sponding
impression. Serious misgivings are felt
regarding the fate Of General Monet, at
the head Of a strong column operating
at some distance from the coast. 1t is
said that many foreign residents, with
their families and valuables, have
taken refuge on board British, French
and German war vessels, while others
have left for China and Japan.
THE Madrid press expresses surprise
that the Archbishop of Manila should
have left the city at such a moment,
unless it is true that he wishes
thereby to signify his disapprov-
al of the reforms Captain-General Au-
gusti has promised the natives in the
hope of checking the spread of the in
surrection. Most of the papers express
a fear that the next news will be of the
fall of Manila. The whole question IN
the eyes of the Spaniards is whether
Admiral Dewey can prevent Aguinaldo
from pushing on hostilities against Ma
Mia until the American reinforcements

he will have to allow European war

THE VICTORY AT MANILA.
Rivals in American History the
Exploits Of Paul Jones.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The State
Department has received a report from
Consul Williams, who was, situated at
Manila before the outbreak of the
war, in which he said that the battle Of
Manila lasted two and a half hours.
and that the Spanish were outclassed at
every point. He says:
Our guns had greater effectiveness.
our officers and men greater bravery.
The crews We're hoarse from cheering,
and while we suffered for cough drops
and throat doctors, we have no use for
liniments and surgeons"
Consul Williams reports with consid-
cradle detail the incidents of the battle,
from the forcing of Manila harbor on
the morning of May day to the destruc-
ton of the Spanish fleet and the silenc-
ing of the land batteries.
In conclusion. he says: ITO every
ship, officer and crew all praise be
given. The cool bravery and efficiency
of the Commodore was echoed by every
Captain and Commander, and down
through the lines by every officer and
man; and naval history of the dawn
ing century will be rich if it furnishes
to the world SO glorious a display Of
intelligent command and successful
service as must be placed to the credit
of the United States Asiatic squadron
under date of May 1, 1898.

itation 1T will be my honor and pleasure

MINED HARBORS.
Neglect Of Masters Of Vessels to

a continued neglect of owners and mas
ters OF vessels of the engineer re,ula
ticns bearing on the entrance of vessels

surprise at these fragrant violations OF

subject the department to great annoy

the damage done.
Only last week a vessel coming into

sllt that some time will be necassar:v

Emhassader Pauncefote Receives a Draft
for the Amount Due.
The Claims the Result Of the Seiz-
ure by United States Revenue
and Naval Vessels Of a Number
Of Small Schooners Hailing
From British Columbia En-
gagged in Sealing in BehrinE
Sea.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The clos
ing chapter in the story of the Behring
Sea fisheries claims, running over a
period of several years, was enacted in
the office of the Secretary of State this
afternoon when Secretary of State Day
delivered to Sir Julian Pauncefote the
British ambassador, a draft drawn on
the Treasurer of the United States in
the sum of $473, 151. .26. payment in full
of the award of the joint commission
convened in accordance with the terms
of the Paris tribunal of arbitration OF
1892.
To-day was the last day allowed for
payment under the terms of the award,
and it was made in pursuance of a spe-
cial Act of Congress passed by that
body yesterday, and approved by the
President Of the United States this
morning.
These claims arose through the seiZ-
ure by the United States revenue cut
ters and naval vessels detailed for the
purpose of patroling the Behring Sea
of a number of the small schooners
hailing from British Columbia, that had
been engaged in sealing. By so doing
they had violated the law of the United
States, but when the whole general
subject was considered at the Paris
arbitration, it was decided as an Incl
dent that the United States had, at
the time the seizures were made. no
exclusive jurisdiction over the waters
of Behring Sea outside of the three
mile limit, and that consequently the
owners of the vessels We're entitled to
compensation for the losses they had
sustained.
The seizures occurred all in one year.
for in the following year the United
States and Great Britain had arranged
a modus vivendi, which practically ex-
cluded sealing vessels from the waters
of Behring Sea during the time when
the seals are breeding.
The damages awarded by the joint
commission, to which the United States
was a party, were considerably less
than the aggregation of the claims of
the owners of the sealing vessels. but
the amount was still in excess of the
figures which Secretary Gresham had
arranged to pay for the damages done,
had Congress consented at that time
