at which General Manager E. z.
Griggs of the Light & Water C O.
was present, Saturday evening,
the matter of a reduction in the
number of lights and of rentals
charged by the company under
their franchise for lights and hy.
dsrants was discussed at length.
Whi1e Mr. Griggs was HOT Il q
position to definitely state what
could be done, he encouraged a
hope that the burden now car
ried by the city in this respect
might be lightened. He went to
Duluth On Wednesday to confer
with other members of the com
pany regarding the matter, and
will be enabled to announce a
definite proposition ere the next
convention of the common coun-
Gil.

Philippines in "a State of Anarchy, and
Dewey Said to BE POwerless.

Copyright 1898, by the Associated Press)
HONG-KONG, May r. p. m, Green
witch Time.-The British second-class gun
vessel Linnet has arrived here with news
from the Philippine islands. She left Ma
Mia on Monday last and reports that the
insurgents are uncomfortable. The whole
country, it appears, is in a state of anarchy
and Rear Admiral Dewey is powerless to
restore order. The officers of the Linnet add
that even if Spanish rule is abolished il
will require a large force, with special
training to restore order in the interior.
In the meantime, the Spaniards in Manila
refuse to submit and Admiral Dewey is UNI
willing to lombard the town. He hopes to
starve the place into submission, but the
Spaniards are confident of being able to hold
out. They allege that they have ample sup
plies for 20 600 regular troops and thousands
of volunteers beyond the range of the
United States war ships and are defying the
Americans in the hope of European inter-
Vention.
Two German war ships, one French war
ship and a war ship of Japan are now at
Manila. "A Russian vessel is expected there
shortly. A strong anti-British feeling exists
among the populace at Manila and the peo-
pie are desperate and starving.

minutes, during the heat of the engagement.
It is marvellous to him and his men that
they escaped as they did. They were within

which killed the men on board the torpedo

blown to atoms. A few scratches on the

VIEWS OF NAVAL OFFICERS.
Judgment Suspended as to the Reck-
Iessness of Those Engaged.

leS8neSS of Those Engaged.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-At the Navy
Department the greatest interest was mani
tested in the Associated Press dispatches.
There was a disposition shown to question
the wisdom of the attack made under such
circumstances by one light gunboat and tor
pedo boat and revenue cutter upon a
fortified port with q fleet under the guns.
It was suggested that our officers were be-
coming reckless owing to the good fortune
they have had heretofore in escaping the
Snanish shot However, in the absence of
official reports it was asked that judgment
be suspended. 1t is not believed, although
on this point the officials are mute that
the attack was made on specific orders from
either the department or from Commodore
Watson, who is now in charge of the
blockading squadron in the absence of Adj
miral Sampson. 1t is probable that the
commanders of the American gunboats We're
acting under general instruction to pre-
vent the strengthening or construction of
shore batteries and to destroy Spanish gun
boats. 1t is believed that in the latter pur-
suit the boats unwittingly were drawn with
in range of the fire of the batteries.
The Wilmington was the most formidable
vessel in the American line of attack, and
vet she was nothing more than a gunboat
of moderate size being of ], $50 tons and
carrying a battery of eight four-inch guns
and some smaller guns.
The Hudson was not long ago employed as
a harbor revenue cutter at New York. AS
one OF the officers put it, she is nothing
more than big launch, 81 feet long by q
feet beam. drawing s feet 10 inches, and
with a speed of 13 knots and tonnage of

up of two six-pounders and machine gun.

MADRID May I'LL p. NIT is said that
Senior Moret, secretary for the colonies, and
Senior Gullon, foreign minister, Admiral
Bermejo, minister of marine, and Count
Xiquena, minister of public works, have re-
signed The retiring ministers offered va
rious excuses, such as illness and WEAKNESS
for their Withdrawals. Senior Sagasta
begged them to remain until the indemnity
bill had been passed, but it is believed that
at to-nights Cabinet council the resigna-
lions became definite, though it is impossi-
BILE to verify the exact situation at this
hour
11:30 p. NIT turns out that Admiral
Bermejo, on learning of the Cavite disaster,
told Senior Sagasta that he must resign,
owing to the delicacy of his position,
though he felt that he was not responsible
for the state of the defenses of Manila.
Senior Moret pleaded WEAKNESS and Count
Xiquena illness.
According to the latest forecast the new
Ministry will consist of Senior Sagasta as
president; Senior C. Groissard, minister of
justice of the dissolving Cabinet. as min
lister of foreign affairs Senior Aunon, as
minister of marine; Senior Romero Giron, as
minister of justice, and the Duke Of Vera
qua, the descendant Of Columbus as min
lister of public works, agriculture and COM
merce.
The new Cabinet will probably be consti-
tuted Saturday. The general opinion is that
it will endure until the budget is passed and
collapse at the first opportunity afterwards
The changes, however, are pacific in tenden-
cy, Senior Gullon having been the most war
like element in the dissolving Cabinet.
The whereabouts of the Atlantic squadron
still remains undivulged, ministers refus-
ing to give any information on the subject.
Official dispatches from Havana confirm
the reports of an American repulse at Glen
fuegos They assert that the firing lasted
eight hours, and that the American losses
were heavy. According to these dispatches,
great enthusiasm prevails in Cuba.
Owing to the increase in the price of food
there have been serious disturbances at the
Rio Tinto mines, province of Huelva. The
rioters wrecked the octroi office and sacked
a number of tobacco stores. The military
now occupy the whole mining district.
