HONGKONG, May 24.-The Japanese cruiser Akitsushima, which arrived here to-day from Manila, reports that when she left there rioting had broken out and a number of houses had been burned.
 Food was daily becoming scarcer and horse flesh was sold at one dollar and a half pound.
 The Spanish volunteers were making angry demands for pay and food' which the Spaniards were utterly un- able to satisfy.
 Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, had a great reception on his arrival at the Philippines from Hongkong. Rear Ad- miral Dewey supplied the insurgents with two guns and three hundred rifles, and at the time the Japanese cruiser left Aguinaldo was expected to make an immediate attack.
 The Archbishop of Manila, announc- ing in a pastoral that four Spanish warships were coming, promised vic tory for the Spaniards.
 NEW YORK, May 24.-A dispatch from Manila says that Dewey has been threatened by the German Consul there The Consul, after an interview with the Spanish Governor-General' tried to land provisions from a German ship, but Dewey refused permission. The Consul then declared that he would force the landing with the aid of the two German cruisers in Manila Bay. T :, fro on the cruisers if they fnterfered. The provisions were not landed.
 Dewey maintains a strict blockade and holds Cavite and the arsenal, but has made no attempt to land. The foreign Consuls hold frequent confer ences with him regarding the safety of non-combatants and private property.
 A Spanish transport has been cap tured and will be used in the United States service Troops are urgently needed, but Dewey has ample supplies and ammunition, and there is no dan ger of a land attack.
 The situation at Manila is desperate. Food Is scarce and meat is exhausted, while all the canned stuff Is nearly gone. Two weeks will exhaust the available supply.
 Spanish officials say that 800 were killed and TOO wounded inthe lombard ment by Admiral Dewey. All classes are waiting anxiously the arrival of United States troops. There is no sick ness on the American ships.
 Montijo, commander of the Spanish fleet destroyed by Admiral Dewey, is to be court-martialed for cowardice, and the captain of the Spanish reve- nue-cutter Callao, recently captured by a boat of the United States fleet as she was entering Manila Bay, is to be shot for not returning the fire of the Amer jeans.

HARBOR OF SAN DIEGO
 PROTECTED BY MINES
Work of Planting Explosives Com pleted by Lieutenant Mey-
 ler'S Force

SAN DIEGO, May 24.-Lieutenant Meyler. U. S. A., who has been entrust- ed with the work of planting the mines in San Diego harbor, announced to- night that the work had been complet- ed. The exact number of mines will not be made public, but it is known that there are enough to blow an entire fleet into driftwood. The entire channel is protected.
 It is expected that a small steamer to be used for patrol duty will come from San Francisco soon. Until ar engagements are perfected for maintain ing the patrol in the usual manner, Lieutenant Meyler has adopted tempo rary rules that will be no less effective. SentInels will be placed in boats beyond the mines with instructions to warn incoming vessels, and a 12-pound brass gun now mounted at Ballast Point will back up the men in their warning. Any incoming or outgoing vessel violating the rules adopted by the War Depart ment respecting this harbor will be brought to by shot across her bows.

POSTAL REGULATIONS
 AS TO SOLDIERS MAIL
Franking Privileges Have Been Ex- tended to Officers and En-
 listed Men,

WASHINGTON, May 24.-In view of existing hostilities between the United States and Spain, which necessitate the presence of it's force in service at and near the Philippine Islands and of the fact that postal communication with said islands, as one of the Spanish colonies, is prohibited by the Postmas- ter Generals order, No. 161, dated the 26th ultimo., it is ordered that articles of mail matter for or from persons con- nected with said United States forces shall be subject to the postage rates and conditions applicable to similar ar ticles in the domestic mails of the United States. The articles shall be sent to the commandant of the forces by every opportunity offered by the sailing of a United States vessel for said forces. The sailing dates of the vessels cannot be announced in advance and the articles should therefore be for warded promptly to San Francisco In order that they may be dispatched thence to destination at the first oppor- tunity.
 The regulation in regard to the mail forces in the field is authorized by an act of Congress passed in 1879, and is as follows:
 Letters written by officers. com missioned or on-commissioned. and prlvates in the military, naval or marine service of the United States must be plainly marked Soldiers let ter, Sailors letter. or Marines letter. as the case may be, and signed there under with his name and official desig- nation by field or staff officer, post or oetachment commander to which com mand the soldier belongs. or by a sur geon or chaplain at a hospital where ne may De, and in the navy and marine service by the officer in command of the vessel or surgeon on board, or off, cer commanding naval hospital or de- tachment on shore. Letters so cer- titled will be forwarded charged with postage due at single rates only, to be collected on delivery"
 This regulation Is in line with a hfIl

 expedition. which eliminated In the great battle of May 1. Before Spanish endorsements can reach the islands the formidable coast defender Monterey will have arrived in the harbor of Man fla, and will be closely followed by a large number of regular and volunteer American troops.
 The War Department to-day has taken up vigorously the question of transporting troops to Manila, and if further difficulty is experienced in chartering vessels for that purpose. the right of eminent domain will be exer- cised, and such vessels as are needed will be forcibly pressed into service. The department is especially anxious to secure the Tacoma and Victoria of the Northern Pacific Company, and nego- tiations suspended a few days ago have been resumed for the charter of the Ohio and Conemaugh Of the Red Star line. A proposition has been made to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company for the chartering of the China and Colon, and a counter proposition mak- ing the engagement contingent upon the granting of an American registry to these vessels is being considered. Reports have been received upon sev- eral vessels of the Pacific Coast Steam ship Company and the White Star line, and it Is probable that ships of both companies will be chartered. The de partment is disposed to treat the steam ship companies as liberally as possible, but will resent any attempt to take ad- vantage of the Governments necessi- ties.

CAMPAIGN OF DELAY
 AGAINST ANNEXATION.
Senator White Gives Notice That the Treaty Will Be Opposed With
 Determination

NEW YORK, May 24.-The Herald's Washington correspondent says: When the Hawaiian annexation matter comes up in the Senate it will be fought with great determination by Senator White and other opponents of annexation. Senator White has given notice that a campaign of delay will be entered upon. which will indefinitely postpone the adjournment of Congress and will retard all legislation, no matter how pressing in importance.
 Representative Tawney of Minnesota presented Captain Hatch of Minnesota to the President to-day. MT. Tawney, in discussing the Hawaiian annexa- tion issue, gave his personal opinion that the report of the Foreign Affairs Committee on the Newlands resolution would be taken up in the House the latter part of this week and time for debate would be allowed. He has made a personal canvass of the Republican side of the House and found 1S9 Repub- licans ready to vote for annexation About two-thirds of them, he said, fa- vored immediate consideration.
 Contrary to a published report, MT. Tawney has not represented to Speaker Reed the sentiment of the House in favor of annexation, but he believes a prompt consideration of the resolution will be allowed.

 HAVANA, May 24-Efforts are being made by the authorities to provide an adequate supply of food for residents of the city and the soldiers, provisions having become scarce since importa- tions from the United States ceased. Sweet potatoes, yams and other roots and vegetables are being planted in large quantities in the neighborhood of the city. Owing to the recent rains 1t is the hope and belief that the crops gathered from this source will be suffi- cient for the necessities of Havana

THIRTY THOUSAND
 RIFLES FOR CUBANS.
milton Taken on the Steam ship Florida.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Oficial in- formation has been received at the Gu ban legation in this city of the sailing last Wednesday from Tampa of the first important expedition of native Gu bans. The expedition, which sailed on the steamer Florida, was organized and commanded by General Jose Nor let, whose preliminary report, sent as the ship sailed, has just been received here.
 This report states that General Mor- let has improved the opportunity to re- cruit about 400 men, almost all ofwhom have seen service under Gomez, Maceo and Garcia. Every one of them knows the island from one end to the other, and is possessed of information re- garding the Spanish Notifications and camps. With the expedition under General Morlet is no less a person than General Julio Sanguilly, whose release was wrung from Weyler during the Cleveland administration.
 The expedition was far more impor- tant than the number of men taken along would indicate. The Florida car ried a warlike cargo. In the hold were piles of boxes holding no less than 30,- 600 Springfield rifles, with enough am munition of the right caliber to make them effective. There were also rapid fire guns of the Hotchkiss type for the insurgent artillery forces, with plenty of shells. These arms will enable Gen. eral Garcia, for whom they are des- tined. to not only equip 30, 900 additional troops, but to supply his own men with the ammunition of which they have been in such urgent need. He will also be able to form and equip several bat teries of light artillery with rapid-fire guns-a weapon which has always proven effective in the hands of the insurgents.
 Besides the large consignment of guns and ammunition, the Florida car rled supplies of food, clothing and med icine for the insurgent army. There are also seventy-five mules for the formation of pack trains to transport the supplies from the coast.

MISS MAUER

ASSAULT ON THE CUPlDS
OMAHA EXPOSITION STATUARY
 IS DEMOLISHED.
The Queer Act of 8 Lieutenant of the Salvation Army, and She Says She Is Prouc
 of It.

OMAHA. May 24.-Dorothy Mauer, a Salvation Army lieutenant, was arrest ed on the exposition grounds at mid night for malicious destruction of prop erty. She was caught in the act Of chopping to pieces with an ax several groups of Cupids which ornament the Fine Arts building of the exposition. She also tried her weapon on several costly pieces of statuary, whose style of beauty she did not like. She con siders herself martyr to her convic- tions. Miss Mauer risked her life to accomplish her mission of destruction. She climbed upon the Fine Arts build ing and hung over the court of honor while engaged in her self-appointed task. Had the frail fretwork to which she was clinging given way she would. have been precipitated fifty feet to the stone pavement below. When taken to the station Miss Mauer seemed rather proud of her perform ance. She said she had accomplished her purpose and was satisfied. The charge of malicious destruction Of property was placed against her.
 This morning her friends furnished bonds and she was released. She was not at all averse to talking of the mat ter. Sunday afternoon 1 was at the exposition holding religious services" !" said she, flor l am lieutenant in the Salvation Army. I was mortified at the offensive pictures presented by the groups of nude figures in the front grounds. thereuopn registered VOW that with Gods help l would at least destroy some of the dreadful pictures of the human being exposed to the gaze of innocent young girls and boys.
 The groups of statuary are utterly ruined, the pieces being scattered all over the building. Workmen gathered up several bushels of arms, legs and other parts of pretty figures.
