Admiral Dewey does not confine his

the town. In some way the prisoners
learned that the admiral was passing and
a genuine scramble ensued
AT first this rough and tumble contest
was thought by the guards TO be a wild
attempt 20 escape and the signal was
given to call help but in a moment the
manner and comment of the prisoners
proved that they were only satisfying
their curiosity as to 1.-THE unconquerable
American as one Spanish officer salut-
ed Admiral Dewey. The remarks of the
Spanish officers and privates contained
only complimentary words. Though
Dewey was the cause OF all their misfor-
tunes, they showed genuine respect for
him.
The well-informed correspondent of the
Hong Kong Press gives these facts about
the insurgent leader and his great fol-
lowing:
''If anyone in Hong Kong doubts the
strength of the movement he should go
within their lines nearly every day for
a week, as l do, and the fact of the case
would soon be demonstrated. Aguinaldo

San Francisco, Aug 2-Mani,a letters
printed in the Hong Kong papers, which
are up to June %. give many interesting
details of the situation at Marila of the
insolence of the German naval officers, of
Admiral Dewey's firmness and his won

extreme cowardice of the Spanish troops,
which has led many hundreds of well
armed regulars to surrender to less than
their own force of poorly equir,ed ma

The presence of the large German fleet
in Manila Bay has been great source
of encouragement to the Spanish, and
leading Manila merchant said frankly
that Captain General Augustin would

CATHOLIC PRIESTS IN DANGER.
Appeal From the Pope for Their
Protection at Cavife

Through the Papal delegation in Wash

American Government for the protection
of the Catholic clergy in the Philippines,
who are said to the objects of fanatical
wrath among the insurgents under Aguin
aldo.
The appeal came in the way of a cable
message from Cardinal Rampolla, Papal
secretary of state which was delivered
ar the War Department yesterday. II
relates how the Vatican mad been warned
of the danger the bishops and priests are
in at Cavite, and requested that this
Government take imme liate steps to pro-

Spain's Capital

spain's Capital
Madrid, Aug. 3.-Spain has accepted the
American conditions and peace is as
sured The rest is merely a matter of
detail
The demands of the United States are
here understood to be:
l. The abandonment of sovereignty in
Cuba and the immediate evacuation of
the island.
2. The cession of Porto Rico and
spain's other West India possessions TO
the United States.
g. The cession of one of the Ladrones.
4. The United States to occupy Manila
until the disposition of the Philippines
is decided upon.
The ministers held a long session today
and their conclusion was that nothing
was left to them but to accept the prin-
cipal conditions imposed by President Nc
Kinley.
Their only reservation was with regard
to the method of putting the conditions
in force.

READY FOR HER MEDICINE.
Spain SuIlenIy Awaits the Receipt
of News From America

Madrid. Aug. 2.-The cabinet did not
meet today. 1t Is not expected that there
will be another meeting until fresh intel
ligence is received from Washington.
The people seem to be entirely unex-
cited over the question of peace Even
the press is almost silent on the subject.
The official reserve is, extreme, the min
listers explaining that il is necessary to
preserve a prudent. guarded attitude un-
til the United States thinks fit TO publish
its own terms and the Spanish reply.
This reserve and the censorship partly
accounts for the silence of the press, but
even the extremist organs seem 10 real

tical suggestions either to continuing

American note without further parley A
few of them. however, are not thoroughly
convinced thai Spain will accept the inev-
liable at this time. Dispatches from Mad
rid say that the ministry is opposed to
granting the demand that Porto Rico be
ceded to the United States.
As that is practically the primary con-
dition insisted on by the Administra tion
Cuba's abandonment by Spain being a
foregone conclusion, the Washington
Government viii not tolerate any effort to
have that condition modified.
There is no doubt of the Government S
intention TO stand firm on every point in
the communication, and the arrangements
for continuing the war in the event of
Spanish refusal 10 accept the terms of
America are going ahead steadily.
