DEWEY IS MASTER AT MANILA.
Officially


tinenta; powers were seeking to have
England join them in intervention be-
tween the United States and Spain was
lacking in verification in official and
diplomatic quarters here. The state de-
partment has received no suggestion
of such intervention, and does not be-
ieve it is contemplated. The foreign
representatives here, including those of
Great Britain, France, Germany, and
Russia, meet these reports with specific
denials, and declare that intervention
Is not being discussed in any way at
the present time. These officials have
been fully conversant with all previous
moves towards intervention, and they
doubtless would be aware if such a
move was on foot at present
The utterance of Emperor William
before the reichstag yesterday con-
firmed what the German officials here
have maintained from the first-namely,
that Germany would observe strict neu-
trality, even though no decree of neutra-
lily was issued. Russian officials take
the same views as to the purpose of
Russia to keep out CT any Intervention
which would be inimical to the United
States. The French authorities here do
not consider intervention a live ques-
tion at present. and since France issued
her decree of neutrality the French Of
ficials dimiss reports that France will
participate in intervention.
The British officials have received no
word concerning recent moves for in
tervention, and they consider such
moves as quite inopportune under ex-
listing circumstances. A leading men,
Der of the diplomatic corps said: What
could we intervene about? 1t could
not be because the United States had
occupied the Philippines, because we do
not yet know that the Philippines are
occupied. 1t could not be because Porto
Rico may be occupied, for we have no
official information yet that any move
| ment against that island is con-
templated. In fact, even if continental
Europe desires to intervene, il has no
facts before it thus far on which to base
| Intervention"

THE matter was duly considered.
and it was decided that without regard
to the strict law of blockade, and as an
act of courtesy, the request of the
French government should be acceded

the I'd day of May. When information
was received of the capture of the

to Key West these orders were COM

that the orders were fully delivered. SC

Nothing Is more amusing than to
watch two acquaintances saluting in
the streets of Japanese town. AS
they come in sight of each sther, they
slacken their pace, and approach with
downcast eyes and averted face, as If
neither was worthy Of beholding the
other; then they bow low. so as to
bring the face on O level with the knees,
on which the palms OF the hands are
pressed. A succession of Kissing sounds
is next made by drawing in the breath
between the closed teeth, inter-
spersed with q series of complimentary
phrases uttered with great volubility
in a sort of undertoned falsetto, each
trying to outdo his friend in rapidity
and extravaganza Of language, while
the palms are diligently rubbed. At
last the climax is reached. and each
endeavors to give the precedence to the
other. For some moments, perhaps for
full minute, the polite contest con-
tinues, then the ceremony abruptly
ends, as If the difficulty were capable
of none but brisque solution, and
the two pass on hurriedly, with look
of extreme relief.-Brooklyn Citizen.
