MAY FIGHT 1t MANILA
A Clash May Come Before the
News Of Peace.
NO LATE NEWS FROM DEWEY
During the Interval of Time Re-
auired to Send Advices via Hong
kong to the Philippines 1t LIS
Probable Tint the American
Forces Have Made an Assault,

Secretary Alger made an interesting
statement yesterday with reference tG
the immediate effect of the cessation OF
hostilfties on the situation in the Phil
ippines.
.'It is quite possible that there may be
a battle at Manila yet," he said. THE
news of the cessation of hostilities can
not reach Gen. Mrritt and Admiral Dew
ey for three or four days We have re-
ceived no Information as to the situation
at Manila for several days, but the last
messages were not of a character to
make fighting seem unlikely. by any
means. 1t may be that Manila has al
ready fallen. and it may be that a great
battle is even now raging. 1t would not
be an unprecedented thing for battle
to be fought after the cessation of hos
tilities. by any menas. The battle of
New Orleans was fought after peace was
declared"
The President realizes that the Philip
pines present one of the knottiest prob
lens of the war and of the peace nego-
tiations. The question of the final own
ership of the islands, even If this country
can be satisfied, may prevent any result
from the deliberations of the peace COM
mission. If the American commissioners
contend for the full cession of the islands
to America, and the Spanish commission
ers refuse to give them up. there must
be deadlock and a beginning of the war
again.
There is. however another question that
the Administration must take up imme-
diately, the government of the island of
Luzon during the months that the peace
commission is in session. America takes
possession and assumes control of Manila
and the harbor during the peace negotia-
tion, according to the American terms
agreed TO by Spain in the protocol. The
believed. give America a very accurate
insight into the exact necessities for the
government of the entire group.
Manila is not only the capital of Luzon
but the principal city and the principal
seat of the Spanish authority. Nearly the
entire Spanish army in the Philippines has
been stationed there, and the island has
Uetl governed from tnat CITY, 1t has not
been decided as yet if America shall re-
Quire that the army be removed from the
city during the peace negotiations. The
war commission will decide this point.
This matter, however. will have very lit
tie effect on the real question of the gov
ernment of the island. With the Spanish
out of authority in Manila, America will
be obliged to assume control. The prob
lem of the insurgents, If there is to be
any, and all the other possibilities of diff
ficulty, will have to be met by Gen. Mer-
ritt in his military government
Gen Corbin recently made the state
ment TO a reporter for The Times that
no anxiety is felt by the War Depart
ment 1t is believed by army officers and
also by President Mckinley that the bug
bear of governing the Philippines raised
by the opponents of annexation will be
thoroughly disposed of IN this prelim-
mary test before America actually be-
comes their owner.

RAILROAD WAsHoUTS.
Tracks and TrestIe Suffer From the
Storm

There was a washout on the Mt. Ver-
non Electric Railway last night. and the
running of trains over that road has been
suspended. The wash-out occurred at the
causeway over Four-Mile Run, in the
made" ground adjoining the trestle
work. The recent heavy rains caused the
stream to swell beyond its banks, and the
tracks We're submerged all day yesterday.
The trainmen had been warned to run
cautiously at this point. and track walk
ers were constantly on guard. The Off
cials had hoped to keep the road open.

CHARGES AGAINST CADETS.
A Mars land Paper Says GOnzavu
College Boys Were DisOrIerIy

College Boys Were DisOrderly.
The Gonzaga cadets of Canada Col
lege had an excursion down the river
to St Mary's, Md, ON Monday night.
The 81. Mary's Beacon published an ar
ticle on Thursday describing the visit of
the cadets 10 that town. The article is
headed Rampant Rowdyism' and states
that ''the youngsters INDUCED in repre-
hensible practices and made themselves
amenable to the law"
Some of the offenses charged against
the boys are as follows:
'One of them threw a stone through
the window of Mr.. Charles NJ. Haydeu's
residence; the chairs on r.. Jo f. Nor
gan's porch were taken and thrown into
the street; the chairs on Mr.. Thomas
Boyd's porch were put on the sidewalk:
Mr.. E. b. Abell's yard was entered and
his pears destroyed; bench on the porch
of Mr.. George W. joys residence was
ripped from its fastenings and set across
the sidewalk; DIR. Payne's grounds were
entered and SO was the corntield near the
village and considerable corn pulled and
trampled down. They came across the
street and saluted the Beason sign with
a fusillade of brick and stones. The sign
SHOWS StNeTdi UeiilS ana Drlck was
thrown against the side of the house
knocking off some plastering."
The article goes on to say:
sour citizens are thoroughly exasperated
over the acts of vandalism and rowdyism
perpetrated by these young Washington
toughs and the mayor of the town in
forms us that hereafter whenever they
land preparations will be made to receive
them
1t also claimed that many of the citi-
Zens of the town were ''pIackguarded" by
the cadets and the assertions are corrobo-
rated by statements from reputable citi-
zens.
Father Galligan. president of Gonzaga
College and pastor of St. Aloysius'
Church, was shown a copy of the article
this morning, and expressed great sur
prise that he had heard nothing of the
matter.
II am deeply grieved," he said. that
such a statement should have been pub
lished. / am confident that there is a
great mistake somewhere. and matters
must have been grossly exaggerated. l
have received a letter from Father For

companied the boys during their

for their actions while there.

Associated Press Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, April 27.--Reports from
Madrid as to the imulinence of naval bat
tie off the Philippines caused great interest
here to-day The naval authorities, how
ever. seriously doubt whether the Spanish
fleet will make a stand against the Ameri-
can ships. Their reason for this belief is
that the Spanish fleet is very inferior to
the American force under Admiral Dewey
The department therefore is satisfied that
the Spanish fleet viii not go TO do battle
on the high seas with Admiral Dewey, but
will remain in port to secure the protec-
ton of the batteries of Manila and the de-
partment is not expecting an engagement
for about two days Without giving any ex-
planation for setting this time, the depart
ment allows ii to be surmised that the esti-
mate is based on its knowledge of Admiral
Dewey's whereabouts. There is no certainty
that there will be an engagement at all in
the immediate future, the main purpose OF
the American expedition being to seize and
hold some suitable Spanish territory in the
Philippines as a base OF operations in
Asiatic waters. 1t is possible that this can
be done without attacking the other at all
by seizing a suitable port on some ada
cent island without fortiications, the SYM
pathles Of whose inhabitants are towards
the insurgents.
The very fact that the Madrid officials
have rather ostentatiously declared that the
Spanish feet has sailed to lombard the
cities on the North American coast is taken
as a certain indication at the Navy De-
partment of the utter improbabillty OF such
movement II this were contemplated the

DINA coasts this morning. The wind blew
sixty miles an hour from the northeast and
many vessels are in danger. Captain Ferry,
of the British steamship Castledale, from
Pampa, reports passing a derelict bark
named Cadice, completely stripped and her
long boat lying on the deck. The fate Of
the crew is unknown A big three -masted
schooner with part of her masts gone and

will surely be driven ashore. The cruiser
Montgomery and transport Panther, which
left here yesterday for Key West, were also
in danger, but it is known that they rounded
Cape Hatteras before they encountered the
storm. Nothing has been heard of them,
but it is believed they are safe. The storm
did considerable damage in Norfolk and

LONDON, April 27.-The St. James Ga
zette this afternoon continues to lead the
press in hostility to the United States. 1t
says: Neither Spain nor America is in
the least prepared for war 1t will be au-
turnn before the mobs of men with muskets
are fit to trust in the field. They are no
more at war, in the modern European
sense, than would be the squabblings and
filibusterings of couple of South Ameri-
can republics"
The ST. James Gazette also publishes
letter from a correspondent who remarks:

which the United States is preparing to en-
counter a seventh rate power like Spain'
shows the ludicrous and contemplate po-
sition in which the braggarts would have
been placed, had Lord Salisbury given Pres
ident Cleveland the answer he richly de-
served and so brought them face TO race
with the first naval power in the world.
