The Situation nj Manila.

Admiral Dewey has Manila at his
mercy. but, as stated in the dispatches.
his landing force is too small to make
it advisable for him to go ashore. un-
less in some extreme event, such as an
attempted massacre by the natives, or
other serious disturbance. He will have
to get along as well as he can until
re-enforcements reach him, which, un-
der the most favorable conditions
will not be much under thirty days
from the present time.
In meantime, the situation in the
city is extremely critical. 1t is cut off
entirely from communication with the
worldly the American squadron on
one hand, and the native revolutionists
on the other-and it is said that, agree
ably to Spanish improvidence, there is
only few days food supply. 1t would
seem to be probable, therefore, that
Captain General Augusti will find il
necessary to surrender at discretion by
the end of the week, in which case Ad-
miral Dewey will have the place on his
hands, whether he wishes it or not.
1t is satisfactory to learn that the Nc
Eulloch has been able to procure a
complete cable office outfit and a skill
ed operator at Hong Kong. When the

the archipelago, nor is Manila the only
place where there is a Spanish garrison.
There are other fortified ports which

is exciting the most lively interest both
in America and Europe. The more the
matter is discussed the greater appears
the probability that we will have to
hold them, since We would not think OF
giving them over again to Spanish mis-
rule and outrage, and to dispose of
them to any European power OF Japan
would precipitate a general row, which
none of the powers are anxious to see.
So the chances are that Europe will
look upon our possession of the richest
island empire of the world with COM
placency, and America will be allowed
to reap commercial advantages in the
Far East that she could not have
dreamed OF obtaining six months ago.

Nearing the Battle.

There~is slightly but not much
clearer view of the naval situation in
West Indian waters today than could
be Obtained yesterday. The necessity
for towing the monitors, whose coal
capacity is small, accounts for the slow
speed Admiral Sampson has been MAX
ing toward his destination. He is re-
ported as having passed Cape Haitien
with a division of the fleet, steaming
eastward at about five knots an hour.
The story, generally believed in Wash
inston last night, that Villamil had
reached San Juan Porto Rico with the
Cape Verde squadron and a convoy of
troop ships loaded with re-enforce-
ments, has not been confirmed and is
open to some doubt
lnasmuch as the Spaniards have had
ample time to reach Porto Rico, sup
posing. that they have steamed as fast
as ten knots across the Atlantic, 1t is
not improbable that our admiral may
have to attack them in the harbor of
San Juan, where they would have such
advantage as the shore batteries might
amount to. If il be true, as reported.
that their squadron is escorting a large
number of troops, that fact would add
10 the pity that Sampson could not
meet the whole outfit at sea, before it
could make port.
Nillamil will arrive in the vicinity of
Porto Rico with his coal supply pretty
low. IL he can get safely into San
Juan he can fill his bunkers. If he
were cut of in advance he would have
nowhere to supply himself We are
afraid the chances are that he will sue
ceed in outsailing our Navy, and that
the battle. which surely ought to oc-
cur Tuesday or Wednesday, will be
fought practically in sight of San
Juan About the ultimate result of
the fight no one in this country seems
TO be at all anxious: but the loss of life
on cur side and the question of danger
TO our ships may considerably depend
upon the conditions under which Ad-
miral Sampson is able to make the at
tack
The suspense will soon be over.

the statistician angrily. THAT is a
phrase unknown in mathematics. A

eighth Is $40. Now, how far is knot To-
II should say. $3.50 feet" said the pre-
feet, with the air of man who had just
remembered something.
But the statistical member turned upon
him savagely and said severely:

The probable acceptance of the protocol

ignorance pervades the Spanish people
as to the -chafaeter of Americans. When
our boys landed, at Cavite. after the sur

of priests and Sisters OF Mercy, who be-
