GENERAL SATISFACTION.

New York. May "A World dispatch
from Singapore says:
There is general satisfaction here
among all but the Spanish sympathlzers
at tho American victory at Manila. But
the reduction of the town and the cap
ture of other strongholds will not COM
plete the American work in the Philip
pines. In order to secure peaceful occu-
patton of the islands. security for life
and property, the resumption of planting
and commercial undertakings - upon
which private and public revenues depend
1t will be necessary to effect the pacif-
cation of the interior That Is only possl-
BILE through the aid of the supreme leader
of the Philippines, General Aguinaldo.
This was forseen by Spencer Pratt, the
American consul general here. His
prompt action In obtaining promise
from General Aguinaldo to cooperate and
the sending of him to arrange details
with Admiral Dewey will prove an Inn
mense saving to the American government
in the matter of life, time and expendi-
ture. If the negotiations are judlciously
managed they will remove all difficulties
from the way of the future administra-
tion and development Of the islands vast
but hitherto neglected resources.

celved from Rear Admiral Sampson an
nounce his arrival OF the coast OF Hayti
with a division Of his fleet. He will re-
main at the point where he is now To-
Gated until the department or one OF the
scouts inform him OF the appearance OF
the Spanish men Of war which sailed
from st. Vincent nine days ago, Although
press reports have been published an
nouncing that the Spanish fleet has ar
rived at San Juan and or Martinique,
the department has heard nothing from
the American liners acting as scouts con-
lrmlng such reports and the consular Of
ilcers are under instructions to report to
the department Of state any reliable In
formation of the presence Of any Span
lsh men of war. The naval board has call
culated the Spanish squadron to be at
or near Porto Rico by this time, and 1t
is in the hope Of bottling up the fleet in
the harbor OF San Juan that the men-of-
war of the north Atlantic squadron are
lowering within a short distance Of Porto
! Rico. Some apprehension exists in naval
circles Of the possibility that the Spanish
vessels have passed the American scouts
in misty weather, In which event, Of
course, It would be more difficult to find
i them.

THE DAY AFTER.

New York. May "a dispatch to the
Herald from Hong Kong says:
| In the early morning Of Monday, the
day after the battle In Manila bay Com
mander Lamberton and the Herald cor
respondent were ordered to go to the
| Cavite arsenal and take possession. The
Petrol took them within 500 yards OF the
| landing. when they were surprised to see
that the arsenal was still occupied by
about 500 seamen armed with Mauser
rifles. As a white flag had been hoisted
on the arsenal the day before. Comman-
der I.amberton could not understand
what the Spaniards intended 10 do, and
before leaving the Petrol ne ordered Com
modore Wood TO keep his men at the guns
with directions II we were not back in one
hour he should open fire on the arsenal.
] on landing we were met by Captain Sos
toa, next In rank 10 Admiral Montejo,
Commodore Lamberton. Lieutenant Wood
OF the Petrol and your correspondent
went with Captain Sostoa to the arsenal
headquarters. which was surrounded BY
an armed guard. Commander Lamberton
told Captain Sostoa that he was surprised
to see his men under arms after they
had surrendered the day before Captain
Sostoa replied that they had not surren-
dered, but had merely hoisted the white
flag in order to enable them to remove
the women and children to places OF
safety. Commander Lamberton said that
when the Spanish flag came down and
the white flag went up no other inter-
probation could be put upon 1t than It
was an unconditional surrender and the
women and children ought not to have
been there anyhow.
Captain Sostoa remarked that We came
so early in the day that they had not had
time to remove them. II we had not
begun the fight so soon the women and
children would have been out OF the way.
Commander Lamberton reminded hiM
that the Spaniards had nred the nrst
ahot. However. he added, he was not
there to discuss past events. He had sonas

otherwise our ships would open nre eA

do nothing, not being In command, and
would have to consult his superiors.
Commander Lamberton refused to recos-
nlze any one but the senior oflcer astu-
ally present, who, ne said, must comply
with Commodore Dewey's conditions
Captain Sostoa asked to have the terms
OF surrender put in writing, which was
done, they being as follows:

NO FEARS FOR SAMPSON
