authorities were taking possession of

they refused to pay or make exchanges
and the government was selling at auc-

THE VESSEL IS RELEASED
Capture OF the Big Liner Seems
to Have Been an Unfortu-
nate Incident.
Permission Had Been Given
the Vessel to Enter Ha-
vana Harbor.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Paris CORE.
spondent Of The Daily Telegraph says:
The effect upon Paris of the seizure of
the steamer Lafayette is clear enough.
Already a rather bitter feeling against
the United States existed and this inci-
dent will certainly not tend to diminish
it. If it is demonstrated eventually
that there was nothing to justify the
seizure, the government may be ex'
pected to make the very strongest pro-
test.
Some angry expressions are to be
heard and arrangements have been
made with the project Of police for the
efficient protection Of the United States
embassy. The place is well guarded by
policemen and detectives, in view OF
any possible demonstrations.

Watson has received orders from
Washington to instantly release the
French mail steamer Lafayette and to
send her to Havana under escort.
0. the 1853 assengers on board the
lafayette 70 are for Havana, nearly all
being young Spaniards who say they
are going to Cuba to engage in mercan.
tile pursuits. When surprise was dis
played that such was their mission at
this time they merely shrugged their
shoulders and vouchsafed no further
explanation. The United States au-
thorities who examined the Lafayette
say that so far as the ships manifest
shows she carries no contraband Of

it was impossible to make thorough

FEELING IN GREAT BRITAIN
Anxiety Over the Absence OF
News Reflected in Politl-
cal Circles.
Opinion There That the Com
modore Met Unexpected
Resistance.

WASHINGTON. May 7.-After another
day in the state and navy departments
the doors were again closed in the
evening without word from Commo-
dore Dewey or any reliable source as to
what happened at Manila after the
cable broke. One comfort the officials
take in the situation, although it is of q
negative character, is that the lack Of
communication is probable evidence
that the Spaniards at least are not in
control at Manila, else they would
speedily communicate that fact to the
rest Of the world through the cable. II
the delay means any thing it is believed
not to be more serious than that Com.
modore Dewey has been delayed in
carrying out fully his plans for the
occupation of Manila. In other words
it may not have been possible for the
commodore within the
Short Space Of Two Days
to effect the destruction of the Spanish
feet, the silencing of the forts at Ca.
vite, the seizure of Corrigador island,
the capture of Manila and finally the
restoration of cable communication.
If he has been delayed beyond Tues.
day or Wednesday in carrying out this
extensive programme it is not at all
surprising that he has not been heard
from through a dispatch boat. The
state department is in close touch with
Consul Wildman at Hong Kong, who
is expected to supply the earliest pos
sible news from the Philippines 1t is
barely possible that the first news to
come may be through British sources,
inasmuch as all British cable subven.
tions contain clause giving the Brit.
ish government the precedence in the
use of the cable in an emergency.

ANXIETY IN ENGLAND.

Feared Dewey Has Met with Unex-
peotsd Resistance.
LONDON, May 7.-Anxiety over the
absence of news from Commodore
Dewey was clearly reflected in the lob.
bies of the house Of commons, where
the general subject Of conversation was
the uncertainty as to Manila. Sinister
speculations were INDUCED in and it
was pointed out that there were trad.
ing steamers under the British flag in
Manila on Sunday. AS apparently
none Of them left after the naval battle
it looks as though they apprehended
danger in passing out by Corregidor
island. They can hardly be awaiting
cargo and il the
The Town Has Been Mombarded
there would be plenty Of foreigners, in
that event, anxious to embark. 1t is
not believed that Commodore Dewey
has met with disaster, but it is the uni
versal opinion that he has encountered
unexpected resistance and is not in
position to spare vessel to carry dis.
patches. Another suggestive explana-
ton is that Commodore Dewey has
not succeeded in obtaining control Of
the land telegraph lines to Boliano
connecting Manila with the Hong
Kong cable. Tho stories Of another
Spanish fleet going to the Philippines
are regarded here as simply ridiculous.
