DEWEY'S THREAT
To Fire on German Warships Pre-.
vented the Landing of Supplies at
Manila.

New York, May PA special dis
patch from Manila says that the Ger

ions from German ship. but that Adj
miral Dewey refused to permit it. The
consul declared, according to the dis
patch, that he would force the landing
under the protection of two German
cruisers. Admiral Dewey replied that
and the attempt to land the supplies
was abandoned.
The situation 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 volunteers demanded food but
the Spanish government authorities re
fused to give it, and riots are threat

NO BATTLE FOUGHT,
And Indications Far from Favorable for
Meeting at an Early Day-Possibilty Of
Complete Change Of Spanish Policy.

Washington, May 24.-The navy
department at 3:15 this afternoon
posted the following bulletin:
THE department has no reason
to believe that battle has occurred
in the Windward Passage. The aux
iliary cruiser st. Louis has cut the
cable at Santiago de Cuba and San
Juan, Porto Rico"
Notwithstanding the persistent
rumors in circulation to the effect
that general naval engagement
has been fought in the Windward
Passage, resulting in the destruc-
ton Of the Spanish fleet, it can be
stated positively that the navy de-
partment has no information that
tends in the slightest to confirm
these rumors. Unless the improb-
able happens, there is no immediate
prospect of naval engagement Of
any magnitude, in the opinion of
the navy department officials. The
unanlmity with which those best
informed express this view almost
warrants the conclusion that it is
based upon knowledge that the hos
tile fleets are again far apart. In
deed, there is no certainty that Adj
miral Cerveras is not already bound
homeward, providing he has sue
ceeded in securing supply of coal,
for he could not make the run back
TO the Canaries with less than about
$500 or 5000 tons.
There are signs at Madrid that
have been noted here seeming to
warrant the superstition that there
has been complete change in the
Spanish plan Of conducting the
war. Indications are believed to
point to relaxation if not a total
abandonment Of the efforts to con-
duct the campaign in Cuba and the
West Indian waters. The natural
conclusion, if this premise is well
founded, would be that the Span
iards would concentrate their entire
energies to the defense of the
Philippines with the view to re-
tanning them in the event peace
is offered upon them by virtue of
the principle of international law,
which limits a victorious nation in
indemnifying herself from the
vanquished to the territory she
actually couples when peace is de-

A FLAG
To Be Raised Over Moro Castle,
Presented to Secretary Alger by
G. A. R. Men Yesterday.

Washington, May 24.-There was an
interesting scene in the anteroom of
Secretary Algers Office at the War
Department this afternoon, when
I. M. K. Lee Post, of INTERCHANGEABLE,
N. j., presented the Secretary with a
large and handsome flag. Its dimen-
sions were 81 by 32 feet. The en-
blem has history of considerable in
terest, having been bought originally
by the corn exchange of Philadelphia
in 1861, when a regiment of soldiers
was enlisted under it. After the war
was over the flag was given to Alex
ander G. Catell a personal friend OF
Gen. U. S. Grant, who raised it on sew
eral occasions of interest. Subsequent
w. Alger, of Merchantsville, and was
presented at the latter's suggestion to
the Secretary as a gift from the citi-
zens of that place. The presentation
speech was made by Past Department
Commander Henry l.. Hartshorn, who
referred to the services of Secretary
Alger while commander in chief of the
Grand Army, and in conclusion asked
that he direct that the flag be the first
to be unfurled on Moro Castles flag
staff when Havana comes into the
possession of the United States gov
eminent.
Secretary Alger made a feeling re-
Spouse to the address. His voice SEEM
ed choked with emotion and it appeared
to be with difficulty that he uttered the
words which almost brought tears to
the eyes of the assembled veterans. He
expressed the great and agreeable sur
prise which the occasion brought to him
and added that it would give him pleas
ure to grasp the hands of comrades,
loyal and stalwart men who were al
ways ready to defend the flag and make
sacrifices for the cOuntry's honor.
Comrades Of the last war were passing
away and another generation was COM
ing to the front to take up the cause
of our country and they would vindi-
cate it's honor He had no fear that
wherever the flag foated it would be
guarded, carried and supported by the
American soldiers Sacrifices would be
made. lives would be lost, the Secretary
continued, but blood shed in the cause
of humanity was well shed. Wherever
our army was called it would establish
record in history as it had in the past
and our troops would pass over the
ramparts Of the enemy and would be
victorious. The Secretary concluded
substantially as follows:
81 thoroughly believe that an ever
ruling Providence is placing this great
burden on the American people. Our
country has taken up the cause of hui
mainly, and it will not lay down it's
arms until Cuba is free and govern
ment of the people and by the people
is there established. | thank you for
the flag and will direct that it be raised
over Moro Castle when it is in our
possession

If the HawaiianS let us take this
coal without the pretext that we
are using it to make our way to
our nearest port. as is required by
international law in such cases,
they will stand convicted of a gross
breach of neutrality that in the
eyes of the law of nations allies
them with the United States in hos
tility to Spain. The taking of coal
by the American ships at Hawaii
to make an extensive campaign
against the Spanish possessions, it
is believed here, will result in COM
polling the United States either to
assume a protectorate over the ISL
andS or to annex them.

ABOUT CHRISTMAS.

Carol singing was, up to a few years
ago, universal in England, both in
church and home, at a Christmas sea-
sen. g..
In the fourth century the celebration
Of Christmas was fixed by the Latin
church for December IS. Before that
time it had been a movable festival,
like Easter. "
In France it is a common practice to
celebrate Christmas by giving an extra
ration to all domestic animals, on the
theory that oil creatures should rejoice
at this season.
In England the Christmas decora-
tons may remain in the churches dur
ing the month Of January, but must
all be cleared away before February 2,
or Candlemas day.
In Devonshire, England, a messenger
is sent from the house Of the farmer
to tell the bees that Christmas day
has come, and they are supposed to
greet the glad tidings with a joyful
hum. B ..a. Hrf. /
In Queens college, Oxford, the Christ
mas dinner is composed principally of a

In medieval Europe a peacock was the
