SPANISH ROASTING.
Declare That Spanish Fleet Is En- Route
kaxs,. to Manila to Drive Out
fae<''> DeWeY's Ships.

London. May 23.-A dispatch to The
"Spaniards in Hong Kong and at Man
lila openly boast that a fleet of war;
ships is on the way out to the Philip
pines, and the bishops have issued pas
torals to the effect that Spain and
God are preparing to cut out these
social excrescences from America"
The pastorals urge the people to give
no quarter, and they ascribe Admiral
Dewey's humanity in refusing to bonn
bard Manila as due to fear. At the
same time money is being spent in
bribing the inferior leaders among the
Insurgents.
"There is some anxiety here because
of the non-arrival of American troops,
and the American consulate is crowded
with volunteers. United States Consul
Wildman is on duty night and day. An
American miner from Manila. Occur
by name, has arrived here For several
years he managed coal mine near
Cebu, and the Spanish authorities, fear
ing he would supply the American fleet,
expelled him. He reports that food is
scarce at Ccbu. Flour is very high and
potatoes cannot be bought.
"The Spaniards are themselves di-
rectly responsible for the revolt of the
Ccbuans as the latter gave them help
during the recent insurrection and
were in return promised regular pay,
and that their families in their alb
sence should be cared for. They were
also to be exempted from tribute. Af-
ter seven months absence, during
which they received no pay, they re-
turned home to find their families
starving and to be called upon for trib-
ute. They have risen against Spain"

SPAIN MUST WEAKEN.
France Will Soon Demand That Sagasta's
Government Shall Sue
''~ For Peace.

London, May 23-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
zone point of interest In the reconstruct
tion of the cabinet lies in the obstinate
refusal of Senior Castillo, the Spanish
ambassador to France, to accept the
foreign secretaryship. Every consider
alton was brought to bear in vain. The
ambassador persisted in his refusal and
promised in a personal interview to
prove to Senior Sagasta that it would
be a grave mistake for him to leave
Paris.
Il am enabled to state that the am
bassador's motive for refusal was the
following: Scnor Sagasta's cabinet is
by its own formal declaration deter
mined to carry on the war with all pos
sible vigor, whereas Senor Castillo Is
aware that Spain's friends among the
powers, France in particular, are re-
solved to insist upon her suing for
peace at the first favorable moment.
France possesses a twofold interest in
having peace ncluded-financial and
political. The former would be Sc
verely damaged If Spain We're utterly
ruined, and the latter would suffer If
the United States retained permanent
possession of the Philippines.
"The leading idea which actuates the
statesmen responsible for the political
scheme favored by Senior Leon y Cas-
tillo is that as Spain must be worsted
in the long run, it is advisable to save
as much as possible from destruction,
and that the sooner peace is concluded
the more tolerable will be the terms
acquiesced in by the United States"

TO MAKE HASTE SLOWLY
Our Fleets Will Move With Caution In
h., Order to Insure Victory When
L the Fight Comes,

Washington, May 23-The rumors OF
d great naval battle were disposed OF
by the navy department early yester.
day In the following official bulletin:
s'No truth in the published statement
concerning an engagement off st.
Nicolas Mole, Hayti, In which u Span
lsh ships were sunk"
This was posted not only for general
Information, but also to quiet the alarm
among relatives and friends of those
nn board the American ships. As q
rule the department adopts the cautious
phraseology Of stating that no official
Information has been received, but to
make assurance doubly sure in this
case the department declared there was
mo truth In the reports" This indi-
Gates that the official information is
such as to warrant the statement that
the American and Spanish squadrona
bave not met.
The bureau Of navigation, navy de-
partment. where official dispatches are
received, was open throughout the day,
but the officials were engaged on rou-
tine work, and there was no evidence
Of that activity which would attend
the receipt Of important information,
nor Of that keen expectancy which

would indicate the near approach of
the two fleets. In the absence of exact
Information as to the location of the
fleets, this serenity in naval circles was
a fair indication that the official advices
did not give promise of an important
engagement 1t Is evidently the view
of the war board that an engagement
If it can be brought on, will be decisive
of the whole war, and there Is no pur-
pose to allow such momentous result
to go off on fluke, or on too pre-
cipitous move, in Difference to the pur-
pose Of pressure for result, but to move

Army headquarters was as busy as
on week days, as the moving of large
bodies of men gives scant time for Sun

received from San Francisco giving the
final details Of the embarkation Of
troops for the Philippines tomorrow.
1t stated that the City of Peking, the
Sydney and the Australia will sail with
1876 officers and 2,4C0 men, under Briga-
dier General Thomas Anderson. AL
though General Anderson takes charge
of this command, 1t is understood that
General Otis, who is in San Francisco,

the troops, the Peking will carry sup

To ATTACK OUR PORTS.
A British Captain Believes That Is the In
tention Of the Spanish Cadiz
Squadron.

St. Johns, N. F.. MAY 23-Captain
Strong, of the British brigantine En-
ergy, which arrived here yesterday
with a cargo of salt from Cadiz, reports
that when he left CadiZ fortnight ago
the greatest activity prevailed in the
naval arsenal there. Two Hamburg
American liners, Columbia and Nor
MAMMA, purchased to be used as auxil-
larry cruisers and sSw named the
Rapido and Patria, were being rapidly
armored, and the warships refitting in
the harbor were loading stores and
ammunition.
Captain Strong is convinced that at
the time he was at Cadiz the Spanish
government fully intended to send this
fleet to attack American coast cities on
the North Atlantic. preferably Boston.
He says the Spanish populace was BIT
terly inflamed against English and
Americans. and that his crew dared not
venture ashore.

Of northwestern Arkansas Friday night
did immense damage to property and
caused the death Of at least seven per-
sons. Reports of the destruction are
coming in slowly, and 1t Is feared that

The Charleston or For Manila.

San Francisco, May 23-The Charles
ton is well on her way to Manila. The
big cruiser passed through the Golden
Gate at 500 yesterday morning, after
having been anchored in the stream
all night. Every steam vessel in the
harbor blew au revoir to Captain Glass
and the crew. None Of the forts in the
harbor saluted the vessel, but the de-
monstration made by the 5000 soldiers
gathered at the Preside was tremen-
dous. They lined the beach for mile,
and cheer upon cheer rang out from
the men who are soon to follow the
Charleston to the scene Of Admiral
Dewey's triumph. Never has war
vessel leaving this harbor received such
a send OF as was given the Charles
ton.

Senior Castillo, 1t is understood, will. on.
reaching Paris, continue his negotia-
tions with Senior Betances, the Cuban
representative, for the submission OF
the insurgents.
Senor Capdepon, minister of the In
terror, has denied in the course of an
interview that the change in the con-
stitution Of the ministry would involve
any alteration In the foreign policy Of
Spain, all the new ministers being In
favor of prosecuting the war with the
utmost energy to the end.
SPAIN said Senior Capdepon, went
perilousIy near sacrificing her honor in
the interest of peace, only making a
stand when further concessions would
have involved her disgrace and efface-
ment as nation. This she will never
do and In this resolve the new cabinet
is as thoroughly determined as the old.
The new cabinet entertains no illusions.
1t is aware that weakness and poverty
are opposed to strength and wealth.
but Spain is in the position Of duelist
bound to defend his honor against the
gross insults of more powerful an
tagonist. who, although he is con-
WINGED that the result is almost certain
death, yet feels the force of the prin-
ciple of noblesse oblige.
Spain prefers a possible defeat to
certain disgrace. Ministers know that
the moral sympathies of the powers are
with Spain, and that. while hesitating
to undertake the responsibility for ac-
tion which might lead to a greater war.

In spite of the existing state of Siege,
immense crowds awaited his coming in

The station, the palace and other

Tried to Murder a Policeman.

Lancaster. Pa, May 23.-Three coll
ored men created great excitement in
the borough of Columbia at an early
hour yesterday morning by an at
tempted murder, which resulted in the
wounding of a police officer who had
come to the rescue of the intended VIC
tim. The man who did the shooting
was William Swan and his companions
were William Jackson and Jack Dali
ton. The man whom Dalton wanted
to shoot was Isaac Shields, a store
keeper, while the one who received
Swans murderous bullet was Officer
Hugh Mccall. Some time ago Shields
had caused the arrest and imprison-
ment of Dalton for an attempted as
sault, and the latter swore vengeance.
Dalton and his pals called at Shields
residence to settle the grudge, and the
shooting followed. The men were cap
tured.
