WANTS INSTRUCTIONS.
| Dewey Fears to Take Maniln Right
Away.


Third Edition)
Washington, May S.-(special to The
Post Commodore Dewey has asked for
instructions and renforcements. He wants
TO take possession of Manila, which will
be starved into submission in a short time
but he does not want to do so until he has
provided for governing and holding the
place.
There is no question of Dewey having It
in his power to take possession, at any
time he chooses of the Phillppian capital
! and this is realized by the spaniards as
well as every one else.
In fact, it is even possible he may be
asked to take possession for the food

gents have so invested the city that no
more can he brought in from land. while

he can get sufficient achievements to hold
his insurgent allies in check. They can b.
depended on to enable him to take the
place, but as far as being controlled after
they have gained possession, IT is not be-
lieved il can be done
So until the forces from the Pacific coast
reach hm-which will be two weeks at
least--he can do nothing save continue his
blockade and repair slight damages

"The gamblers of 1S49 constituted a controlling class, win whom was all the physical, moral and financial force," declares Dr. Palmer.

Of the many gambling houses in San Francisco in 1849, Fl Dorado, at the northeast corner of the Plaza, was easily the finest. A writer in Cham bers' Journal that year describes the establishment thus: 'We are in a vast saloon, ehe ceiling of which is supported by two rows of white lack cred columns. A profus:on of lamps, swung chandler fashion from the ceiling, render it almost as light as day.

SAD TIMES IN SPAIN.

Madrid, Tuesday Evening July 5, via
the frontier, July 6.-The enthusiasm
aroused by the misleading dispatches OF
the Spanish government from Cuba is
changed today into the wailings OF tbs
families of the victims and lamentations
over the national disaster The ministers
are crestfallen and are still concealing the
worst.
The utmost extremity of despair, rage
and recrimination prevails among the
population and the authorities are adopt.
ing strong precautions, fearing popular
outbursts.
Marshal Martinez de Campos has beer
earnest in his endeayors to prevent dis
orders.
A government crisis is immine and
it is regarded probable that Senior Silvela
or Marshal Martinez de Campos will sue
coed Senior Sagasta as premier, and pro.
pose peace in order to prevent the Ameri

running Spain.
The palace is strongly guarded and the
Queen Regent, who is described as being
inconsoiable, is receiving the sympathy
of the sensible portion of the population,
but there is no Disgusting the fact that
grave forebodings are heard as to the
future of Spain.
The tone of the general public can be

BISHOP ADVISED SURRENDER.

Kingston, JAM, July 6-Thousands Of
people met the launches Of the English
and Austrian warships at the water side
at Santiago, and when the foreign resi-.
dents learned that passengers would be
taken off the English and Austrian con-
sulates were besieged by hundreds i'm.
ploring a chance to leave.
No one seems to know accurately the
strength of the Spanish forces in the city
and It's environs, but 5000 appears to be
the estimate of those fit for duty.
Streams of wounded have been flowing
in day and night from the firing lines.
Every house in Santiago Is an impro-
vised hospital. The sailing of Admiral
Cervera's feet had bad effect on the
soldiery.
They were dismayed when they saw the
warships no longer in the harbor and
felt themselves abandoned to fate.
They interpreted it to mean that Ad.

A MARROW ESCAPE FOR SUPERIN.
TENDENT COTTER.

Fourth of July noon Super intendent
Cotter of the Grand Trunk, who came
here to attend the semi centennial of the
road received word that he was wanted
elsewhere and he had locomotive No. 1877
attached to his private car and while the
exercises were held he was going around
the promenade westward with the throt-
tie of 1877 wide open. When he reached a
place near the old smelling works the
locomotive and car left the tracks and
ripped up the road bed, bent the rails and
worked general destruction to the road,
car trucks and locomotive. Luckily the
train stopped within several yards or it
would have gone into the water close at
hand. MIR. Cottsr locked the wreck over,
ordered another locomotive but no private
car this time, using Pullman, and left
soon after. Another track had to be used
until Tuesday and by that time the
wreck was cleared up.
