COMMENT CAUSED
BY Chamberlain's Reference to Pos
sible Alliance


LONDON, May 16-The speech Of Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for
the colonies. at Birmingham on Friday
night has provoked an unusual amount of
comment in every European capital, many
papers regarding it as an unstatesman-
like display of the country's weakness by
the admission that Great Britain is una
BILE to cope with Russia without the assist
ance of an ally. Others think 1t means
dissension between Lord Salisbury and
Mr.. Chamberlain, but the preponderating
opinion is that Mr.. Chamberlain was used
to make an announcement which Lord
Salisbury as premier and foreign minister
could not make without improperly. The
Paris correspondent of the Times reports
the substance of an interview with a for
mer French minister, whose name is not
given. in which the French statesman
said it must not be forgotten that the
United States Ambassador White brought
from America proof that the United States
was ready to contract an alliance.

Dewey's Dispatches
HONG KONG. May 15.-(Copyright. .
. 1898, Associated Press.) The United .
States dispatch boat Hugh McCulloch .
. arrived here from Manila with dis .
. patches for 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 out .
. break of hostilities between Spain and .
. the United States. An American war; .
. ship fred across her bows and sig Q
. nailed her a demand for her surren- .
. der The demand being disregarded, .
. the American ship fired direct at the .
. Spanish gunboat, and the latter sur .
. rendered. .
The populace at Manila is reduced to .
. eating horsefesh, and the prospect of .
. relief seems far distant. .
. The Hugh McCulloch also reports
. that the Philippine insurgents applied .
. to Rear Admiral Dewey for his APP .
. prevail of an attack by them upon the .
. city. The admiral, it appears, ap- .
. proved of the plan, provided no excess-e
es were committed. The insurgents .
then pleaded that they had no arms .
. with the exception of machetes, to Q
. which the admiral replied: .
"Help yourselves at the Cavite ar .
. senal" .
The city of Manila, however has not
. yet been attacked. About 5000 Spanish .
. troops are guarding the road leading .
truth in the reported massacre of a
. number of Americans. There has been .
. recently a trifling incident during po- .
. lice duty and nobody was hurt. .

No Sign Of Surrender
LONDON, May 16.-The Hong Kong cor
respondent of the Standard says:
After the Callao's crew landed they were
released on parole and the Callao was pa
| raded in full view of Manila city, accom-
panied by the United States cruiser Con-
| cord. When Mr.. Williams, the American
consul. landed at Cavite last week, he was
received with great enthusiasm and fol-
lowed in the streets bly, crowd of 1000 peo-
pie, shouting "Viva los Americanos."
There are no signs that Spanish authorities
in Manila were prepared to capitulate.
All the Spanish inhabitants and Many
British and German families have sought
safety in the suburbs taking all their be-
longings. In the business quarters the
buildings are covered with foreign flags,
the British predominating, with a view of
protection should the insurgents capture
the city. There is much feeling against
the British residents. but fortunately. the
number of foreign men-of-war off Manila
is constantly increasing and the position Of
Europeans is becoming daily less preca-
rious. Aguinaldo, the former insurgent
leader, is now in Hong Kong. actively ne
gotiating, / understand, with President
Mckinley. have reason to believe that he
is seeking to arrange for the future govern
ment Of the Philippines by native admin
istration under the protectorate Of the
United States.
At present there is deal of dissension
among the rebel factions, some of which
are negotiating with the Americans and
others with the Spanards Whether
Aguinaldo possesses enough influence to
reconcile these differences and to induce
the insurgents to pursue common policy
Is questionable. Admiral Dewey Is well
advised In waiting for reinforcements,
since the fall of Manila would produce
anarchy throughout the islands The Eng
fish here advocate a joint Anglo-American
administration. 1t is asserted here that
Admiral Dewey has recoaled three British
warships.
The Reform Scheme
LONDON, May 1.-THE Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard says the govern

Mia authorizing him to grant such reforms
in the Philippines as are compatible with
the national sovereignty.

Canary Defenses

y
SOUTHAMPTON, May 15-The British
steamer Gault, from Table bay on April
23d for this port, via Teneriffe, Canary ISL
ands, arrived here today. She left Tene-
rife on May 9th, and on that day martial
law was declared on the island. Capt.
O'Donoghue one of the passengers on
board, who is on his way to join the United
States army, said there were several thou
sand troops at Teneriffe, of which number
1000 are artillerymen. He adds that 800
engineers and 5000 men are working day
and night throwing up breastworks and
bastions to double the strength of the for
tifications at all vulnerable points. TIC
captain says it would require strong fleet
to take the island. He believes the waters
of the harbor are not mined. and says the
Spanish soldiers are of excellent physique
and as fine a body of men as he has ever
seen. A 12O0-ton vessel loaded with am
munitlon had just discharged her cargo as
the Gault sailed. There were no signs Of
Spanish warships at Teneriffc.
