port thai a supposed Spanish spy had been
captured aboard the auxiliary cruiser ST.
Paul at Cramps ship yard last night was

Sigsbeer refuses 10 state. and all that Is
known of him is that his father is Span
lard and that his mother was born on Gu
ban soil. The suspect enlisted some days

of his enlistment was under suspicion on
account of his peculiar actions.
Late last night marine, who was on
watch below decks near the powder mag
aZine. discovered the man acting in a sus-
picious way around the magazine. The ma

lowed.
The guard overpowered him, but not be-

him to the brig for the night. A thor

ALL EUROPE INTERESTED
May Take Hand in Disposition Of Philip
pines.
Westminster Gazette Thinks This Is
the Time for an AnglO-Ameri-
can Allinnce.

LONDON, May 4.-The Westminster Ga
zette this afternoon, discussing the Philip
pire question quotes the assumption of
American newspapers that the United
States can do precisely what she chooses
with Manila or the Philippine Islands-re-
turn them, keep them, sell them or barter
them" implying that America has only to
speak and no one will venture to dispute
her right to dispose of her lawful prize
as she chooses
The Westminster Gazette says it much
fears that this view will entail disagree
able surprises" adding: "In entering Eu-
1opean politics the United States will prob
ably discover that these simple ideas Of do
ing what you will with your own have be-
come obsolete in Europe. The first symp-
toms are likely to be marked by an increase
of the anti-Amerfcan pressure, which, II
Great Britain could be counted on to join
in it, would speedily lead to Intervention
in behalf of Spain.''
After pointing out the futility Of expect
ing Great Britain to join in such a move
ment and the probability of attempts upon
the part of the continental powers at the
close of the war to prevent the United
States from holding the Philippine Islands.
the Westminster Gazette says: The natural
tendency of all this is to bring the United
States and Great Britain together, and We
hope it will be fostered by statesmen and
by revival of the arbitration treaty at
the first opportunity
YOKOHAMA, May 4.-The situation cre-
ated by the defeat of the Spanish fleet at
Manila is regarded as being deeply inter-
esting to Japan. as it is taken for granted
that 1t presages. the downfall of Spanish
power in the east and the freedom of the
Philippine Islands,

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.
Many Lenders Believe That 1t vii
BE Taken Next Month.


1t Is expected that the extraordinary ex-
penditures for the army and navy on ac-
count Of the war for the first six months
Of the coming fiscal year will make tho
general deficiency appropriation bill, now
being held IN the House committee on ,ap-
propriations, reach an aggregate Of about
$120OO0,O0O.
This is the rough calculation Of Chair
nan Cannon of the House committee on
appropriations and others of that COM
mittee, assuming that all these expendi-
lures will be provided for in a single de-
ficiency bill instead of earlier separate
bills The amount is dependent upon the
pl osecution OF the war.
The general deficiency bill has been in
readiness for report from the committee
to the House for several weeks, and now
will not be reported until just before the
adjournment Of Congress, which many of
the leaders of the House. including Chair
man Dingley of the ways and means and
Chairman Cannon of the appropriations,
believe will be reached about the mid
die of next month. Between now
and then the War Department will submit
its war estimates for the first part Of the
next fiscal year, covering expenditures to
be made until a month after Congress re-
convenes. On the basis of rough reckon
ing of the needs Of the service and the
light of the present situation something
over $50, 600 is now expected 20 be asked
for the army, principally for pay, sub
sistence. transportation, &c. and the esti-
mates for the extraordinary expenditures
for the half year, together with other esti-
mates that may supplement tie Sl4, 900. 600
already in, is expected 20 MAKE up about
that total.

BOTH WILL ACCEPT.
Seyell and Wheeler Will be Ready
When Needed.

When Needed.
Senator Sewell of New Jersey and Repre-
sentative Wheeler of Alabama, who were
nominated by the President today to be
major generals in the volunteer army, will
both accept their appointma nts as soon as
their nominations are confirmed by the Sen
ate. They will both be ready Immediately
for active service. Senator Sewell declined
absolutely to discuss his nomination as ma
jor general, further than to say that he
should not resign his seat in the Senate
and would ask for leave of absence.
Frank p Blair of Missouri retained his
seat in the House while he held commits
sion in the army, and when his services
became necessary in the House he placed
his resignation as a general in the hands
of the President temporarily, going into
the House again and performing his func-
tions as a member there. The case Of Gar
field is also a precedent. he having re-
tanned his seat in Congress while he held
a commission in the army. The law speci-
fically forbids however. drawing two saiar-
les from the government.

MORET AND CAMpos ARE SAFE.
Reports Of Their AsxassinatfOn Ar,
Without FOun datfon.

LONDON, May 4.-The reports in circu-
lation at Gibraltar that Senor Moret the
Spanish minister for the colonies, and Mar
shall Martinez de Campos, the former cap
tain general Of Cuba, have been assassi-
mated are unfounded. Inquiries show that
passenger who arrived there from Spain
yesterday afternoon brought the rumor
that Senior Moret and Marshal Campos had
been murdered and that Premier Sagasta
had sought refuge in the British embassy
at Madrid. The dispatches sent from
Madrid last night reporting the speeches Of
Senor Sagasta and Marshal Campos show
conclusively that there is no truth in the
reports.

MEXICO ENFORCEs NEUTRALITY.
Meeting of Spanish Clerks Prohibited
by the Government,


CITY OF MEXICO, May 4.-The govern
ment has stopped the contemplated meet
ing of Spanish clerks here for the purpose
of raising money and volunteers for Spain.
The police were ordered to prevent the
meeting as contrary to the obligation of a
neutral nation.
There has been great excitement here
over the American naval victory, and it's
moral effect will be great, for the Spanish
local papers and other journals under Span
ish influence have confidently anticipated
triumph for Spain in the first encounter on
the ocean.
Resident Europeans who have been pre-
dieting the defeat of the Americans are
chagrined. There is intense commercial
jealousy Of Americans, and this hostile SEN
timent is displayed in the papers here. The
Spaniards are predicting an unexpected
blow by their cruisers at some point on the
Atlantic coast.

that the Philippine Islands will be pleased
TO have the revolt ended. and will view
with equanimity Americas future action

Concentration of Volunteers.
The plans Of the War Department con-
template the mobilization of about $4,000
volunteer soldiers in the vicinity of Wash
ington. These men will comprise one CORPS
of the army. to be known most likely as
the Army of the Potomac. The improved
government reservation at Fort Myer Va,
recently vacated by the 9th Cavalry, will
probably bs utilized as a rendezvous for
these troops. 1t is eligibly situated for the
purpose and has accommodation for a
large number of troops. In case there are
not suficiert accommodations at Fort MSer
for the entire army to bs concentrated in
this vicinity. It is probable that the excess
Of troops will be placed in camp In the Sol
diers' Home grounds or in that vicinity.

FRUIT NOT INJURED by THE COLD.

Marshallville's fruit crop is all right.
The fruit crop was not at all injured by
the cold snap of the last two days and no
fears are entertained by the fruit men
there. The mercury reached only AZ de
grees, and that only at daylight. A light
breeze prevented frost. The fruit crop is
beyond the bloom state, and with few ex-
ceptions looks well.
AT Fort Valley up to this time there has
been absolutely no damage done the fruit
crop by the cold.
Fruit has not been injured by the cool
weather at Griffin, The mercury did not
go low enough. Fruit men all agree that
if there is no killing frost during the full
moon in April. then it is reasonably safe
to predict a full peach crop. 1t rarely
happens that there is any weather suffi-
GENTLY severe after that time to damage
the fruit to any considerable extent,
though such a thing has sometimes hap
pened. However, they are looking for
ward to an abundant peach crop, and
unless all signs fail, they viii get 1t.
