Der Of natives are said to be "loyal,"
meaning, in that sense, attached to
the Spanish fortunes. With this
material on one hand and the in
surgents on the other, the latter
stimulated by the overthrow OF the
Spanish at Manila, it is probable
that civil war may rage on the ISL
ands for some time outside OF Ma
Mia proper. 1t is believed the Off
cials have not decided what to do
with the islands at the end of the
war, but in their possession the
United States will enjoy powerful
weapon in enforcing terms Of peace
with Spain. Surprising Porto Rico
shall next be seized, it would seem
that Spain will have little to en-
courage her in further resistance,
particularly as the fall of Porto Rico
would mean the loss OF her ironclad
fleet should it cross the Atlantic.
There is no talk yet OF European
Intervention, but one OF the most
beneficial results of Dewey's victory
yesterday is that deep impression
has been made upon the European
powers, which can now no longer
afford to blind themselves to the
fact that, man to man, the Ameri-
can navy is equal to any in the
world. There was no exhibition
such as was sneeringly predicted in
the European press OF weakness in
the American fleet, caused by the
fact that it was q Heterogeneous
composition. 1t is safe to say that
after the battle at Manila the Euro
pean powers will conclude that the
American flag always floats over an
American crew, regardless of the
nationality or racial descent Of the
men who fight behind the guns.
The impression produced is likely
to deter the European powers from
hasty Intervention, and the present
indications are that we shall be left
to settle our affairs with Spain at

The Duke OF Devonshire said he
believed that both belligerents ad-
mitted that Great Britain had no
right or interests which prescribed
any other course than one OF strictest
neutrality, and while he admitted
that "not even the dictates OF hui

WASHINGTON, May II.
Navy officials here realize that the com
bined land and sea attack on Havana cannot
but prove successful, but 1t will be no easy
task. During the past year military supplies
of all kinds have been sent to Cuba in large
quantities, and new factories have been
erected commanding the approaches from the
sea. The reports that Gen. Blanco is short of
ammunition are not credited here.
That Havana can be taken by a combined
land and sea attack no one here doubts, but
there is now no disposition to underrate the
task that the army and navy will have on
their hands.
Preparations will be made accordingly, and
as soon as the Spanish fleet has been disposed
of an advance will be made upon Cuba with
sufficient force to make the campaign short
and decisive. Little reliance will be placed
on the Cuban insurgents.

Tamaqua, May 17.-Bertram Walker,
popular resident of this place employed as a
brakeman on the Philadelphia & Reading
Railway met death shortly after ten o'clock
this morning under singular circumstance
Walker was employed on a shifter in the
yard here and was walking along track
preparatory to giving switch signal when
his foot caught in frog. A truck car was
approaching, and was but short distance
away when Walkers foot was caught. The
unfortunate man made frantic efforts to re-
lease himself, but was unable to do so before
the truck car struck and ran over him.
When the railroader was picked up it was
found that his right leg and thigh were
badly crushed.
The victim was removed to a hotel nearby
and Drs. Little, Spear and Dreher was called
in. They acted promptly, but could do
nothing for the unfortunate man. The
shock was too great for him and he died at
eleven o'clock.
Walker was 30 years of age and left a wife
and three children. He was a favorite witt
