MANILA CABLE.
Connection With Dewey's Fleet
Soon to be Re-Estab1ished.

NEW YORK, May "a dispatch to
the World from Hongkong says:
New instructions have come from
Washington for Dewey, and the reve-
nue. cutter Hugh McCulloch will soon
leave for Manila.
The dispatches are from President
Mckinley and are in answer to cate
gorical message sent with reference to
future operations at Manila and there
aboutS.
1t is known that they contain full
and final instructions as to the fate of
the subjugated territory, but as they
are sealed and will be opened only by
Dewey, the intentions of the Chief Elk
ecutive will not be generally known un-
til they are carried into effect.
Connection with the fleet by cable is
to be re-established as soon as we reach
Manila. A cable code operator is now
on board the revenue cutter with all of
the instruments, wires and other neces-
sarv appliances with which to set up a
cable station.
The broken cable. which is already
secured. is to be hauled aboard the
transport Zafaro, and there the opera

TO GOVERN PHILIPPINES.
Rear-Admira1 Dewey Recommends
a Commission to Take Control.

NEW YORK, May "a dispatch to
the World" from Hongkong says:
Dispatches signed by Commodore
Dewey have just been sent to Washing
ton recommending that the surrender
of Manila be demanded, and that pro-
visional Government for the Philippine
Islands be established pending the set
Element of the war with Spain.
His proposal is for a commission TO
take control of the Government. he
suggests that he be named as one or
! the Commissioners. The Government
would be continued upon much the
same lines as exist now.
He asks that sufficient troops be sent
him in the event that his plan is adopt
ed to maintain order
If his suggestion is favorably received
by the President and the Cabinet, 1t IS
probable that our two Consuls, Will
Jams of Manila and Wildman of Hong
kong, will be asked to serve on the
commission.
Some such solution, it appears, must
be found Immediately. Food supplies
in Manila have run short already 1t Is
estimated that the town has only
enough to last two weeks and no more
can be brought in.
Commodore Dewey's fleet has COM
pletely invested the city by water, and
the insurgents control all the land ap-
proaches 1t is impossible for the in
habitants to add to the present supply
of food without the consent of the
American Commodore. He is in abso-
lutte control.
The forts at Manila are not strong
L, hi
would have no trouble in razing the
city's defenses and in utterly destroy
inc the residence and business quarters.
Not only the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but the
people as we'll realize that if Dewey DE-
mands a surrender he can back up MS
demands with shot and shell sufficient
to wipe out the city.
If the demand is made and the Gov
ornor refuses, the people will rise
and demand that he surrender. There
would also be a revolt on the part OF
MANY of the soldiers before they would
bring down on the practically defense
less city the fire of the powerful Amer
lean fleet.
Under international law a city cannot
be bombarded until days notice mas
been given but the action of the Manila
forts in firing on the American Meet
would be sufficient grounds to break
this rule. Commodore Dewey has sad
he will give the people time to leaV"
the city if he is compelled by refusal
70 surrender to lombard Manila. The
Spanish inhabitants would gain little by
flight. for the insurgents hold the nils
and could easily defeat them IN COM

Learing II 40 the Jurx.

A story is told of a judge who up to
his death sat on the crown side ON the
South Wales circuit. Counsel for the
defense once asked leave to address the
jury in Welsh, and, the case being a
simple one, permission was given with
out demur. He said but very few
words; the judge also did not think
much comment was necessary, but was
somewhat startled by prompt verdict
of acquittal.
"What was it," he afterward in
quired, "that counsel said to the jury?"
"Oh, he just said: This case, gentle
men, lies in a nutshell. You see your
selves exactly how it stands. The judge
is an Englishman, the prosecuting coun-
sci is an Englishman, the complainant
is an Englishman. But you are Welsh,
and l am Welsh, and the prisoner is
Welsh. Need say more? l leave it all
to you. "
The judge did not allow the expert
ment to be repeated of addresses to the
jury in a vernacular which he did not
nderstand.-London Mail.

daughter of an opulent merchant. He
grew tired of her, and when his regi-
ment was ordered to the east he left her
without explanations.
Returning home with more dust than
medals on his coat, he dined and went
to ball, where b. was the daintiest

she showed no resentment on the score
of past unfaithfulness. Pressed by A,
she gave him an appointment at GER

A. went happily to his club, and his

nearly two days. Last Wednesday
the doctors in attendance announc-
ed his death from typhoid fever.
An old comrade did not believe
that Clark was dead, but that he
was simply under the influence of
a sinking spell, and he made such
vigorous protest about the burial
that Clark's body was finally taken
up on Friday, and it was found
that he had moved in the coffin.
The nurses then set to rubbing
and stimulating him, and as re-
suit of this he soon recovered and
was able to talk Clark says that
he was semi-conscious of all that
was going on, but could not pre-
