STRICT BLOCKADE OF MANILA MAIN
TANNED 80 LITTLE CHANGE IN
THE SITUATION.
Washington, May 12-The Navy Department
late this afternoon. received the following dis
patch from Admiral Dewey. at Manila:
Hong Kong. May IL.
There is little change in the situation since
my last telegram. | am transferring to trans

SPANISH men of war. also stores from arsenal

blockade. Add Argos to list Of destroyed yes

DEWEY
The dispatch is evidently few days old and
does not show that Dewey has possessed him
self of Manila Probably he regards his original
orders rs not broad enough to justify that &C
ton without further directions and he could
not have received the last orders of the Depart
ment. The nature of these orders is indicated
by the assignment Of two such officers Major
Generals Merritt and OTIS to command the
troops that are to be hurried to the Philippines
as rapidly as steam will take them. when the
quartermaster has provisioned the ships at San
Francisco. Merritt is tie senior Major General
IN the United States service after General Miles.
and In ordinary cases is entitled to the most
important commands, so his des gnation for this
work may be taken as an evidence OF the Pres
ident's estimate OF the Importance % this ex-

NoNTOJO FLAMES HIS GOVERNMENT.

Admiral Montojo attributes the responsibility
Of his defeat to the Government In Madrid He
had only obsolete vessels, though he had requi-
sitioned the Government for ships. He had no
torpedoes except some which he himself had
constructed out OF Ineffective material. His
original intention was 10 remain ut Subig and
offer battle. but he returned to Cavite because
the Subg forts were inadequate.
During the bombardment OF the Cavita ar
scnal Commodore Dewey suspended fire at the
request Of the Spaniards. u allow the women
and children TO be removed to place Of safety.
I witnessed the second bombardment. The
American vessels were admirably handled.
The rebels looted Cavite Immediately. the

been agreed upon many civilians returned.
The run on the Spanish Bank checked
by the Hong Kong and Chartered Bank opening

BRITISH N PERIL.
The position Of the British section OF the
community was precarious. owing To the scat
tered position OF their houses Food was scarce
and at famine prices; the soldiers had remained
unpaid for several weeks. and looting was
feared.
ION Friday before the bombardment the
steamer Gulf OF Martaban left for Singapore
and London with Spanish and English women

lilies still remain ashore.
