GERMAN CRUISERS WARNED
ADMIRAL THREATENED TO
FIRE UPON THEM AT MANILA
WiIheIm's Consul Wanted to Land
Food in Defiance of the Blockade
Dewey Said No, WhereupOn the
German Representative Made a
Bluff, Which Was Promptly
CLASSIFICATION Exhausted.

NEW YORK, May 24.-According to
special dispatch from Manila the
German consul there tried a big bluff
on Admiral Dewey that was promptly
called by the American commander.
The consul wanted to land provisions
from a German ship, but Admiral
Dewey refused to permit it. The con-
sui then declared, according to the dis
patch, that he would force the landing
under the protection Of two German
cruisers, but Admiral Dewey threat
ened to fire upon the cruisers. and the
attempt to land the supplies was aban-
doned.
SITUATION IS DESPERATE.
The situation at Manila is said to be
desperate. Food is scare and meat is
exhausted, while all the canned stuff
is nearly gone Two weeks will ex-
haust the available supply.
The volunteers demanded food, but
the Spanish government authorities re-
fused to give it, and riots are threat
ened. A delegation is said to be pre-
pairing to wait on United States Con-
sui Williams, as the citizens fear an
outbreak. The insurgents control the
surrounding country, and Chief Aguin-
aldo, sent by Consul Wildman from
Hong Kong, has arrived, and with his
staff is organizing the rebels. Foreign
residents are moving from Cavite.
Spanish reports say that 500 were
killed and 700 wounded in the lombard
ment by Admiral Dewey. All classes
are awaiting anxiously the arrival of
our troops. There is no sickness on
our ships.
DEWEY HEARD FROM.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-The navy
department today received a cable
gram from Admiral Dewey, as follows:
Manila May 20, via Hong Kong,
May 24-Secretary Navy, Washington:
Situation unchanged. Strict blockade
continued. Great scarcity Of provisions
in Manila. Foreign subjects fear an
outbreak Of the Spanish soldiers, and
they will be transferred to Cavite by
the foreign men-of-wAr in the harbor.
Aeuinaldo, the rebel commander-in-
chief. who was brought here from
Hong Kong on the McCulloch, is or
ganizing a force of native cavalry, and
may render assistance that will be val
liable. DeWey'
sPANIARDs IN DISGRACE.
HONG KONG, May 24.-It is reported
that Admiral Montejo, commander of
the Spanish squadron destroyed by Ad-
miral Dewey, is to be contaminated
on a charge of cowardice.
A dispatch also alleges that the cap
tain of the Spanish revenue cutter CAL
lao. more recently captured by boat
of the United States fleet as she was
entering Manila bay, is to be Shot for
not returning the fire Of the American.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The Philip
pine expedition Is now on in dead ear
nest. The transport City of Picking,
with 1000 troops ON board, and the
transports Sydney and Australia, also
loaded with troops, are expected to sail
from San Francisco tomorrow for Hon.
olulu. from which point they will be
conveyed to the Philippines by the
cruiser Charleston.
The sending Of the ships will affect
the Hawaiian question. - Like the
Charleston, the transports must stop at
Hawaii to replenish their coal bunkers
from the great heaps Of coal that Con-
sui General Howard has been pilling
up for months past. If the Hawaiians
let us take this coal with the pretext
that we are using 1t to make our way
to our nearest home port, as is required
by international law in such cases, they
will stand convicted Of a gross breach
of Neutrality which, in the eyes Of the
law of nations, allies them with the
United States in hostility with Spain.
The taking Of coal by the American
ships at Hawaii to make an extensive
sion, it is believed here, will result in
compelling the United States either to
assume a protectorate over the islands
or to annex them.
NO SECOND CALL NOW.
Secretary Alger today was asked the
direct question as to whether the gov
eminent was about to issue another call
80 tIat
so far as he was concerned, he had not
considered the matter. In view of the
fact that all the necessary equipment
has been secured for the first levy of
troops it is believed no consideration
will be given to the advisability of an
other call at.this time. It is apparent,
however, that inasmuch as the number
Of troops required for the Philippines
is far in excess Of any demand that
was forseen when the original call was
issued, there may later on develop a
necessity for more troops, if the orig
nall plan for the invasion Of Cuba is
to be carried out.
LIVES ARE PRECIOUS.
with regard to the invasion Of Gu
ba,'' said Maj. Gen. Miles alt the war
department today. IT have nothing to
say except that the United States will
in due time bring Cuba under it's con-
troll by judicious methods and without
useless waste of life. The United
States is too great, too strong and too
powerful to commit any foolish act in
connection with the proposed invasion.
AS for myself, 1 have only to say that
no officer is fit to command the troops
who, from any motive whatever, would
needlessly risk the life of a single SOL
der, either from disease or the bullets
of the enemy. 1 have never sacrificed
the lives of men under my command,
and 1 do not propose to subject them
to any unnecessary risks in the present
campaign"

dispatches from Key West are to be relied

town and does not risk his forces against the
Spanish in pitched battle owing to lack of
heavy guns. Garcia is one Of the boldest
campaigners that the wars in Cuba have pro-

night to see the mill between Phillips, of

j. Q. Ryan, of Los Angeles, was referee and
Joe Chambers, also of Los Angeles, was
timekeeper. In the first round after eau
tious sparring and few love-taps on either
side Reddy tried his favorite Knockout,
the La Blanche swing, whirling and deliv-
ering a vicious blow on the neck, but he
missed and got one on the neck in return
that staggered him. the round closing with
Prendergast slightly in the lead.
Round second was a hot un, and it was
give and take, until Phillips won a clean
knockdown, sending his antagonist to the
floor with blow on the chin. Prendergast
rose groggy, and went down twice more De-
fore he could see where he was at, but Phil
lips, flushed with an apparent easy victory,
left an opening, and Prendergast caught
him in manner that nearly closed the con-
test then and there, ending the round with a
