IN THE PHILIPPINES
The First Battle is Likely to Take
Place Spaniards Preparing For 1t.

London, April 27-According to a
special dispatch received here to-day
from Madrid. the Spanish Minister Of
Marine, Admiral Berbejo, received a
cipher message from the Spanish adj
miral in command at Manila Admiral
Montejo, announcing that after taking
the measures necessary to organize the
naval defences Of Manila and Cavite,
he was about to sail with his squadron
to take up a position and await the
coming of the United States fleet.
The Spanish Minister of Marine, the
special dispatch continues, forwith COM
municated with Premier Sagasta, who
summoned the Minister for War, Gen
eral Correa, and the three ministers
held a conference Shortly afterward
another dispatch arrived from the Cap
tain General Of the Philippine Islands,
detailing the military measures he is
taking to support the action of the
Spanish quadron and to defend Manila,
Cavite and other places against any
American attempt to land in combina-
ton with the insurgents
The news soon reached the clubs and
the newspapers and created an immense
sensation.
The Minister of Marine expressed the
belief that the United States squadron
would reach Manila in about sixty
hours, and battle, therefore. is ex-
pected in about three days

He will then go to Puerto Principe to
await developments.
The life of foreign newspaper cor
respondents in this city at present is
far from being enviable. The recent
expulsion of Mr.. Ackers. the -correspon-
dent of the London Times, has caused
more and more ill-feeling against
correspondents among the masses, if
However. it is generally admitted that
the government is doing everything
possible to protect the foreigners who
remain here, Americans included, but
the authorities may not be able to pre-
vent some isolated cases of attacks
on certain persons
The quiet maintained by the people
under the circumstances is astonish-
ing ali those who understand the Span
ish character, and the only explana-
ton which they can furnish is that the
Spaniards are saving up their anger
and hate for an explosion which will
occur when the United States troops
land. The Spaniards have no doubt Of
the result of the fighting. They are
dreaming day and night of victory and
are waiting anxiously for the news of
a defeat of the United States naval
forces by the Spanish fleet

ON BOARD THE FLAGSHIP NEW
YORK, OFF HAVANA, April 26.--5 p. m.
via Key West, Fla, April 2I.-10:15 a. m.
Since noon no strange sails have been
sighted and the afternoon has been with
out incident
Lieut. del Pine. of the Spanish Infantry,
and his orderly, bound for Matanzas,
were put ashore at Santa Cruz, twenty
four miles from Havana, by the United
States scout boat Algonquin, formerly
the steamer Eel Toro. The Lieutenant
was on furlough and was going TO see his
wife and infant child. The child was
born last Friday and the father had not
seen it, Under the circumstances Rear
Admiral Sampson decided to let the Span
ish officer and his orderly go (under pa
role). The Algonquin. commanded by
Ensign Crossley, flying a flag of truce,
steamed into the Santa Cruz inlet The
small craft was closely watched through
many glasses on board the flagship New
York which was lying only few miles
off A few persons We're seen to gather
near the small Notifications of Santa
Cruze as the Algonquin approached The
latter performed her mission safely and
apparently without incident. She then
returned to Key West.
For several hours afterwards the New
York cruised close to the shore, in the
direction Of Havana, at times being with
in a mile and a half Of the wooded hills,
which formed a picturesque panorama.
Smoke was seen in large quantities
throughout the day ascending from the
tract of land on the inland ranges. 1t is
believed that the insurgents were burning
cane fields and causing extensive devas-
tation. However, the smoke may have
been only from burning trash.
