Another dispatch asserts that Admiral
Montejo. commander of the Spanish squad
ron destroyed by Admiral Dewey, is to be
court-martialed on the charge of cowardice.
This dispatch also alleges that the captain
of the Spanish revenue cutter Callao, more
recently captured by boat of the United
States fleet as she was entering Manila bay,
is to be shot for not returning the fire of
the Americans.
A copyrighted dispatch to the World from
Hong-Kong, dated May "a, says: THE sit
uation at Manila is desperate. Food is
scarce and meat is exhausted while all the
canned stuff is nearly gone. Two weeks
will exhaust the available supply. The vol
unteers demanded food, but the Spanish au-
thorities refused to give it, and riots are
threatened. A delegation is said to be pre-
pairing to wait on United States Consul
Williams. as the citizens fear an outbreak.
The insurgents control the surrounding
country and Chief Aguinaldo, sent by Con-

with his staff, is organizing the rebels.

If so, you are the person we want to talk

This is simple and If your health is worth
looking after at all. it is worth having your

ADJUSTMENTS.

The pretty little rustic theater in Fair
Bank was crowded last night to witness
the vaudeville programme arranged for the
Fall creek resort. The bill this week in
cludes number of superior vaudeville at
fractions, who give refined and diverting
show, as good, in fact, the best vaude-
vile companies that visit the theaters here
during the winter. That charming little
dancer, Mile. Titenia, gives an exhibition
in all kinds of dance steps on her toes, a la
premier danseuse and really a remarkable
performance. Ward and Curren have made
a distinct hit with the eXtraVagant fool
ishness of Ward and the patriotic songs of
Curren. Frank Cushman is the old-time
minstrel entertainer and is as good as
George Wilson in his limitations of the old
ems brothers horizontal bar act is quite an
acrobatic feat. The Mexican KurtZ, juggler,
and Miss Blanche Seymour, in songs and
dances, complete the programme. Between
the vaudeville acts the band concert is
given. The present company will remain at
Fair Bank all week, with matinees to-day
and Saturday.
The Parks bill to-day will be changed to
"a Fair Rebel" and another story of the
rebellion will interest the audiences at that
theater for two days. Louise Reming will
appear in the title role, assuming in one
act a boys character. This play is in four
acts, the scenes being laid in Virginia. The
third act shows Libby Prison and the es-
cape of number of Union prisoners there
from. Fifty people are used in the pro-
duction. On Friday and Saturday ALA
bama'' will wind up the Park season.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, May a. p. m.-
The Spanish consul here. acting under the
neutrality proclamation, asks of the colon
ial authorities the right to search the
steamer Adula when she arrives from Glen
fuegos tomorrow night with Americans or
any other persons who may have taken
advantage of her to leave that city. He is
in search of dispatches from the American
blockading fleet to the Navy Department
and of communications from spies. He AYERS
that on her previous trip from Cienfuegos
the Adula brought mail from the United
States cruiser Marblehead and he cites the
British neutrality laws declaring that Off
cial dispatches are contraband. The colon
ial authorities, after inquiry, replied that
no proof existed of the existence of official
dispatches from the Marbehead, but only
of the personal letters of officers and men,
which were accepted as an act of courtesy
for mailing here The Spanish consul per-
sisting in his demand for the privilege to
search all packages sealed the colonial au
thorities replied that such a thing
could not be allowed without proof of rea-
sonable probability. The colonial author
tiles are understood to have inquired of
London for advice. They are reluctant to
do anything displeasing to the United States
ard yet are determined to enforce neutrality.
Senior Domingo Mendez Capot, vice presi-
dent of the Cuban republic, will sail from

Scheme for Coaling Spanish ships.

LONDON, May A-The Daily Chronicle
publishes the following with reserve: "A
vessel flying the Norwegian flag and sailing
with Norwegian papers, has been fitted up
in London as a coal hulk on an elaborate
scale. She has been fitted from one end to
the other with electric light and has been,
in fact, altered from stem TO stern to re-
ceive and discharge coal in large quantities.
Some days ago she was cleared by the Nor
wegian consul in London and proceeded to
Cardiff, where she will take on $500 tons of
coal. Then she will be cleared, our infor-
nation goes on, for a neutral port and will
proceed in tow of a tug to Cape Verde, to
act as a receiving hulk to which Spanish
in bay off the African mainland where her
presence will be unnoticed. and will be re-
filled from time to time by fast steamers
coming from various continental ports"

the two fleets thus completing the circle of
Cuba. The battle ship Iowa followed Com
modore Schley on Friday, but was over
taken off Cape San Antonio on Saturday
by the torpedo boat Dupont, with secret

Five British war ships are now in the

LONDON, May 25.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily News says: "Rumors
as to the negotiations of the powers in
favor of peace are premature, but respon-
sible Spanish statesmen prepared to
seize the first opportunity to end the war;
provided it can be done on terms honor
able to Spain. Should a neutral nation come
forward with an honorable arrangement, its
proposals would be examined here in no
impractical spirit of false pride. If, there
fore, America does not insist upon impos-
sible humilations, there is still a possibility
of peace.
Marshal Martinez Campos, in the course
of interview, has said that the saliva
ton of the Philippines is in the hands Of
the natives themselves and that much care
ought to be exercised to win them to our
side He pooh-poohed the alarming rumors
about England and Gibraltar The impor-
tant thing, he declared, is that Admiral Ger
vera should be able TO divide the American
