SENTIMENT IN LONDON.
Congratulations Upon American Sue
 cess at Manila.

London, May 2.-In the houses of parliament, at the hotels which arg beginning to be full of American tourists, at all the government offices, and particularly at the American Iega- tion, the brilliant defeat of the Spanish fleet by the Asiatic fleet of the United States at Manila was the one subject talked of through the day. The United States embassy was the center of in- terest. There was a continuous line of callers requiring information, the majority being Americans. United States Ambassador Hay is overjoyed at the success of the American navy remarking concerning Commodore Dewey, who is a personal friend of the ambassador: ''It is hard to imagine so quiet and amiable gentleman controlling a fierce naval battle.'
 The hotel bulletins are surrounded with enthusiastic Americans, many of them displaying minute flags ir their buttonholes. Many British off cers have expressed the warmest ad miration for the work of the .Ameri can fleet. In fact, a preponderance O. sentiment in the British navy seem: to be with the Americans Interna tional courtesy, however, debarret the high officials from commenting o1 the engagement

JAPAN'S DELAY.
Interpreted to Be a Friendly Disposi-
 tion to the United States

Washington, May 2.-It turns out that while Japan has given notice that she will declare neutrality, the dscrte of neutrality is not yet actually is- sued, so that Yokohama and other ad- vartageous ports of Japan continue to he open to the American fleet This is looked upon by the authorities -bere as an evidence of the friendly dispo- sition of Japan towards the United States.
 It leaves both the ports of China and Japan to our ships. When the Japanese decree of neutrality is is sued there is a strong hope based on reliable information that it will con- tain what is known as the ''hospitabls coal clause" This would afford am pie facilities to warships to lay in necessary coal supplies at Japanese ports to carry them to the next home port. While the privilege would be enjoyed by Spain as we'll as the United States, yet the effect would be Of dis tinct advantage to the United States. as it is in Asiatic waters the United States most needs hospitabie ports for coaling.

FAR EAST SCRAMBLE"
Another Element of Discord Added
 Last Sunday.

London, May 2.-The newspapers all discuss the ultimate fate of the Philippine islands as a question in which the European powers are vitally interested, and they agree in saying that another element of discord has been introduced in the liar east scramble"
 The news of the brilliant victory of the United States fleet at Manila was received here except in government circles with general incredulity. AL though the foreign office was full of news on Sunday evening and they promptly notified embassies. The newspapers either did not publish the news, or if they published it, they ex- pressed doubts as to it's reliability: They said it was derived mostly from the American sources" and doubtless had been grossly exaggerated or was baseless.''

Blanco's Account of an Attempted
 American Landing.

Madrid, May 2. Captain General Blanco cables that "an American ron clad and six smaller vessels attempted to land in boats off Herradura a1 5 36 D. m. on Saturday. The troops fired on them and the warship replied with cannonade, but the boats returned to their ships, which disappeared at 8 o'clock"

such as Manila, for a coaling station and base of supplies during the re- mainder of the war. There was un- derstood to be a considerable force in the Philippines and a large number of natives are said to be loyal" mean ing in that sense, attached to the Spanish fortunes. With this material on one hand and the insurgents on the other, the latter stimulated by the overthrow of the Spanish at Manila, it is probable that civil war may rage on the island for some time outside of Manila proper.
 PORTO RICO NEXT.
 It is believed the officials have not decided what to do with the islands at the end of the war, but in their pos session the United States will enjoy powerful weapon in enforcing terms of peace with Spain. Supposing Porto Rico shall next be seized, it would seem Spain will have little to encour- age her in further resistance.

KING O. THE MAY.
He Hasn't Time to Inform His Gov
 ernment of the Festivities.

Washington, May 2.-It is curious fact that the nation most interested of all the great powers in the combat that took place at Manila yesterday had been among the last officially to learn of the result.
 Up to the close of office hours today absolutely all the information this government received of the brilliant victory of Commodore Dewey and the winning of the battle of Manila on May Day came to the government through the medium of press dis patches.
 NO TIME TO SEND NEWS.
 If the report is true that Commo- dore Dewey has begun the lombard ment and blockade of Manila, it is unlikely that he can spare a vessel from his fleet to carry the news to Hong Kong, the nearest cable sta tion, so it is not known when the off cial advices will come. There was some expectation that through the surrender of the city the commodore might acquire control of the cable, but even then there might be practi- cal difficulty in communicating through it. The officers of Commo- dore Dewey's fleet include at least one lieutenant who is a good practical electrician and telegrapher, but it is not positively known that he is able
 ov4o /l that before retiring from the city the Spanish troops will smash the delicate and complicated electrical apparatus for the reception and dispatch of mes sages, and it is very uncertain whether there is enough technical skill in the American fleet to repair such damage without aid from the mainland.
 DEWEY MAY BE DAMAGED.
 From the stubborn defence made by the Spaniards it is feared that before they burnt, blew up or sunk their ships, they managed to infiict severe damage upon Commodore Dewey s squadron. All of the ships engaged were vulnerable in one respect, namely. in their lack or protection to lire. There was not an armored ship in Commodore Dewey's fleet, the nearest approach being the flagship Olympia She had some coal protection around her sides and an arched steel deck cal culated to protect the vitals of the ship. The other vessels of the fleet save those recently added to tht navy, like the McCulloch, have lighter steel decks of this character, but 1T all cases, with the exception of some light protection in the shape of gul shields, the personnel of the ship was exposed to the fire of an enemy FUTURE OF THE PHILIPPINES.
 As to the future of the islands it i likely that the government will retail possession of at least one good port
