SOAPY SMITHS GANG.
What They Tried to Do But Didn't Do
In Tacoma

Tacoma, Wash, May Eight tough
gamblers from Seattle came over to
the camp grounds of the First regiment
of Washington troops yesterday and
attempted to open up a nutshell and
other fiim-flam games. The command
ing officer was advised of their pres
ence, and at once sent a detail to drive
them off from the premises. Two of the
gamblers drew revolvers, but they were
overpowered before they had time to
use them, and placed in the guard
house by the soldiers until civil officers
could be summoned. The prisoners
were taken to the county jail, where
four of them gave bail in the sum of
$500. The other four are still in iail.

EARLY END TO TIM. uAp

L@AND III w All
An opinion freely expressed tonight
py naval officers is that the very de-
clslVe victory of Admiral Dewey's fleet
Will mean probably an early end to the
war. without further naval battles of
importance The American fleet it is
suggested. is now supreme in the wa
tiers OF SDain's Pacific possessions. and
indications We're STRONGLY toward the
Slipping of the Philippines from her
control
1t was said that only by quick yield
ing to our demands in Cuba, could this
loss possibly be averted. Spain, it was
argued. was confronted with a situa-
ton which promised naught save dis
aster in case she elected to force more
nghting. The superiority of the Amer
lean fleet has been demonstrated in
the Pacific. and the same, it is con-
tended. would be inevitable in the At
lantic in case the clash comes. from
whatever point of view considered, the
policy of more fighting on the part of
Spain promises nothing but more
Spanish misfortune. Navy officers
think this view must prevail with the
Spanish government and believe that
an end of the war. on the basis of
Cuban independence, is to follow soon,
and that. too without further notable
opportunity for the American navy TO
prove its power and distinguish itself.

report that the British residents of Ma
Mia expected that the British steamer
ESmeralda, which went there to take on
board the specie belonging to the Hong
Kong banks. would have full cargo OF
food stuff, as usual. but this was not the
case, and much distress is anticipated n
consequence if the insurgenp land block
ade and the United States sea blockade
are enforced.
PLAN OF INSURGENTS.
According to the insurgent leaders, the
forces of the Philippines insurgents pro-
pose, when the right moment arrives, to
make a feint ATTACK upon the city of Ma
mia, but to make stronger and de-
termined attack upon the seaward forts.
IhlS plan, however, may be upset by
the Spanish authorities, who are well
aware of the intentions of the insurgents

fleet.
Little definite information has been as
certained regarding the whereabouts of
the Spanish fleet as a whole. But it is

inG of the American ships.
MASSACRE APPREHENDED
The real danger appears to be from in
ternal causes at Manila, where mas
sacre of the foreign population is aDDre-
hended.
The British consul. Mr.. E. H. Rawson
Walker, has cabled here for the despatch
to Manila immediately of the British
first-class cruiser Edgar to portect Brit
ish interests there.
An idea of the tactics adopted by the
Spanish authorities to keep up the cour-
age of the fighting forces of Spain can
be gathered from the fact that they have
issued placard stating that a Spanish
cruiser on Monday last engaged and sank
two American warshiDs.
DEWEY'S PLANS.
1t is generally believed here that Com
modore Dewey has arranged with the
Philippine insurgents to seize a harbOr
near Manila, to be used as a base of
operations for the prolonged siege of
Manila, which is anticipated, unless the
American commander can induce the
Spanish fleet to come out and accept a
general engagement.
