Wher Consul Williams landed in
Cavite he had most enthusiastic re-
ception. The place was crowded with |
Philippine islanders who made the
welkin ring with their cries Of "Vive
Los Americanos," as he made his way

The captain, of the British ship
Esmeralda, when in Hong Kong on
May 26, ridicuied the idea that he
piloted the American feet intoManila
bay.

their ammunition at Yokohama and
receive it whenever called for. The
Aztec pursued the usual course, and
had no intention of eyading the law.

of contraband Of war at Yokohama.
