KANSAS CITY, May 19.-Dr. w. M.
Vandervort, Of Independence, who has
spent considerable time in Manila
stated yesterday that he put very little
credence in press dispatches to the
effect that Manila was unhealthy. Dr.
Vandervort at one time was a sailor
before the mast, and Manila was q
port Of entry which he visited often.
Manila itself is healthy said he
yesterday, "and the plague, If it ever
visits the island, is carried there by
the Chinese from Hong Kong. The
sanitary regulations, like everything
that is Spanish, are poor. The govern
ment, after once securing control and
establishing a quarantine service, can
rest assured that the health of the
troops will be protected, and even with
out quarantine it is superior to Havana
as a health resort. The bay is five
miles wide at the point where Manila
is situated. and the town slopes back
gently to the interior. The streets are
paved with seashells, and when the
setting sun has full sway these streets

Porto Rico Paper.


Porto Rico Paper.
NEW YORK, May 19.-Copies OF
Porto Rican papers, bearing as late
dates as May 4, received in New York
today show that the people OF that ISL
and are being treated to a remarkable
version of the news of the war. El
Herald of May 2, for instance, thus re-
ports the battle of Manila:
Victory arises!
"Our fleet, composed of nine ships,
and under command of that brilliant
and illustrious sailor and warrior, Don
Patricio Montejo, has thrashed the
Yankee squadron which sailed from
Hong Kong for the Philippines, forcing
1t to withdraw, after inf1icting serious
damage, thus teaching the Yankees a
lesson.
"Thus has resulted the decisive TIL
umph which the Yankees expected in
the waters Of the Pacific.
1--WE said so. The Yankee squadron
was respectable. but it was woefully
insufficient to fight our fleet. the pa
triotism and gunnery of whose crew
made the odds overwhelming in favor
of glorious Spain.
wherever our ships find American
ships they cannot but destroy them.
Manila furnishes the first instance.
There wooden ships for the most part
attacked the armored and protected
ships of the Yankees, and, in spite Of
the inferiority of our ships, the victory
was ours"
In the leading editorial Of the issue
occurs the following:
1--WE are at war at last with the
hateful and accused Yankee-that
nation which is dedicated to the gold
en- calf.
THE die is cast. Let us fight with
the vigor with which our ancestors
fought. To the provocations of these
charlatans of the Hudson, drunken
with gin and surfeited with pork, let
us answer in the words of the i'm
mortal defender Of the heroic city:
War to the knife
"Assassins of defenseless mules and
robbers of merchant ships, you would
be safer in your cities of the interior,
far from the shot and shell Of our
ships. Do not venture forth. After we
have sunk your ships we will invade
your territory, and we will take Wash
ington. New York and Chicago
when we have captured Mckinley
and he is our prisoner, we will make
him black the boots of our inyincible
generals

age of fifteen cars each stood on the
sidings of one road at noon today,
awaiting clearing on the main track

began to move. There were at the park

WASHINGTON, May 19.-If it be
true that Spain is contempla ting a
dash against the American coast
cities either by her second fleet from
Cadiz, which is said to be ready for
sea, or by Cerveras squadron If the
admiral can escape Sampson and
Schley, the Dons will meet with sur
prise party when they strike the shores
Of the United States. .
New York, as the metropolis of the
nation, would be shining mark for
a Spanish naval commander thirsting
for glory, but it is not likely that an
attack on the harbor would result in
much healing Of Spain's injured honor.
Any Spanish ships that try to reach
New York will meet first with the de-
lenses at Sandy Hook. and when the
trouble is over the Dons will know
they have been in fight. Even If
successful, however, they will have
only made good beginning and Will
have other formidable shore defensas
to silence. But there is little prospect
even of good beginning, for the de-
lenses of. Fort Hancock, the official
name of the Sandy Hook fortff1cations.

hostile fleet could blaze away at the
fort for month and not cause the
slightest Inconvenience to anybody be-

The guns, eight, ten, and twelve-incf

To aid the work Of the guns there
are ammunition hoists and electric ell
evators and the range finders, con-
nected with the gun pits by telegraph
and telephone. Besides these there are
two big search lights, of 50 great
power that any vessel approaching the

before it could get near enough to do
