EXODUS FROM THE COAST.

London. July 2s.-The STANDARD pub

threatened bombardment of Commodore

session of every available house and cot

far inland as LuSo. A stream of bullock
carts loaded with furniture is seen daily
leaving the town. which is now nearly
deserted By the better classes. The weil-
t0-5o residents go TO the neishboring
country, but the exodus is abnormal.
Prices have risen enormously under the
demand. No more decent houses can be
had A cottage with two or three rooms
and almost bare of furniture the rent OF

son. now rents for SO or $50
The newspapers have terrified the in
habitants 50 much that the captain gen
eral of the province summoned the editors
and warned them that if they printed
anything more about the American squad
ron he would send them to prison. No
more is now heard of the squadron. but
the exodus does not diminish.

The return OF prisoners TO Spain from

OF them having served three years in the

Anxiety over the yellow fever conditions

CSigueD DEWEY
The above message from Admiral Dew
ey was posted OH the official Navy De-
partment bulletin board at a late hour
yesterday afternoon. Through press dis
patches the arrival at Manila of Gen.
Greene, with the second Philippine ex-
petition. likewise the capture of Wake
Island en- route. had already been an
nouncsd. and hence the information con-
talned in the official bulletin quoted above
was too old to be news and too meager
to be satisfactory.
Only a very brief part Of Admiral Dew
ey's dispatch is made public. The sig
nihcant intelligence it conveyed was
strictly censored and Navy Department
officials decline to discuss even in the
most general way the purpOrt of the in
formation just received.
Some time after the receipt of the mes
sage Secretary Long said: The situation
in the Philippines is highly satisfactory,
and more welcome news than that lust
az ndQQ could not De HOpcu I0t-
1t is difficult to account for the appsr-
ent reluctance on the part of officials to
speak of the reported capture of Wake
Island. They decline to either confirm or
deny the intelligence. There has never
before been any inclination to withhold
information of similar victories.
As previously stated in these columns.
the plan of campaign IN ths Philippines
has been revised to meet recent develop
ments, and it was Admiral Dewey's ref
erence 10 this subject that caused his
message 10 be so severely censored.
The new plan is believed To contemplate
a speedy attack upon Manila, and an
early occupation of adjacent territory.
There is . general opinion among mill
tary men that the attack Will not be
delayed for the arrival of Gen. Merritt
Admiral Dewey is expected 10 act at
once. He is now in position to com
nland the situation with absolute safety
and every promise Of success. The land
forces at Manila have, by the arrival OF
the second expedition. been made suffi-
ciently strong to occupy the city. The
next official dispatch from the Philip
pines may be expected to convey intelli-
gence Of a sweeping victory.
