Hong Kong. May l2.-The British
second class gun vessel Linnet, has ar
rived here with the news from the Phil
ippine islands. She left Manila Monday
last, and reports the insurgents uncon-
trollable. The whole country Is In n
state of anarchy and Rear Admiral
Dewey is powerless TO rcstor order.
The officers OF the Linnet say even n
Spanish rule is abolished, IL will require
a large force with special training to re-
store order In the interior In the mean
time, the Spaniards in Manila refuse to
submit, and Admiral Dewey seems un'
willing to lombard the town. He hopes
to starve the place into submission, but
the Spaniards are confident Of being
able TO hold out. They allege they have
ample supplies for 1900 regular troops
and thousands OF volunteers beyond the
range of the United States wanhips
and they are defying the Americans II
the hope OF European Intervention.
Two German, one French warshil
and a warship OF japan are now at Ma
Mia. A Russian vessel Is expected
shortly. Strong anti.British feeling ex
lists among the populace at Manila ans
the people are desperate and starving.

CARRYING OUT THEIR PLOT.
weyIer, Rsblsdo aud the Cariist. Push
Ing the Revolt In spain.

New York, May IA dispatch TO
The World from Madrid says;
weyler, Robledo and the Carlists and
Republican leaders have now deliber'
ately set about TO bring on a revolt IN
Spain, and that very soon.
They are plotting separately, and with
different objects in view, but they are
working incessantly for common end 20
the destruction Of the existing govern
ment, root and branch.
These arch conspirators have just
adopted new line Of policy.
They have decided TO offer amend.
ments TO every bill in the cortcs provid-
ing ways and means for carrying ON the
war and to oppose every financial meas
urc coming from the ministry.
Their purpose in adopting this policy
Of obstruction is TO prolong the deadlock
In parliament, giving opportunity for
the anarchists and the starving 10 riot,
and for other manifestations Of popular
discomfort 10 create such an inhamma.
bic condition Of affairs throughout the
kingdom that news Of the next spanish
reverse shall cause an explosion.
wcyler and Robledo expect then a
military dictatorship, headed by Wcy.
Ter.
The Republicans look for a revolution
which shall sweep away the monarchy.
The Carlists laugh In their sleeves and
chuckle over the imminent prospect Of
civil war.
The court Of Spain aud the Madrid
government have again partly sounded
the European courts and the govern,
ments regarding what assistance they
would give TO Spain during, or az the
close Of her war with the United States.
Austria naturally was found TO b
most willing 20 take the lead IN any nc
ton favorable 10 Spain.
But her allies, Germany and italy
though they sympathize on principle
with the queen regent, do not care Il
pick quarrel with the United States.
France and Russia gave really Oh,
most enthusiastic expressions Of sympa
thy and the assurance Of readiness e
help in any movement when the othei
powers, even those ON the continent
only, consider intervention or mere me
diation feasible.
All the continental governments pre-
tend 10 throw ON England the whole re
sponsibility for their inaction ant
charge her with playing into the hand
OF America.
The Spanish government cannot yet
for reasons Of domestic politics, come L
an agreement with even the most friend
ly European powers because they hay'
intimated that they can only interfere 4
mitigate the consequences OF SPANS un
equal struggle with far superior enc
my. They say they cannot mediate un
less the Spanish government and peopl'
make up their minds TO make the iney
table though painful sacrifices of soy
ereighty and territory in the West Indie

and dignity Of Spain"

General Miles to the Veterans.

In an address at the annual banquet
of the veterans of the Second Army
Corps in Washington General Miles
was received with cheers, and his
speech was wildly applauded. He said
in part:
"During the last few weeks we have
witnessed a memorable display Of pa
triotism. Hundre DIS of our brave sail
ors have gone down IN the Maine; have
met death in the terrible steel-bound
Compartments Of the battleship. They
are entitled to all credit and honor as
national heroes. Notwithstanding the
horrors Of that night in Havana harbor,
we have seen hundreds of men march
ing up, ready and anxious to take the
places of those noble sailors on the
ships of cur navy, regardless of the
fate hat may befall them. No grander
sight was ever presented than that at
our recruiting stations during the last
two weeks.
"Uncle Sam fred gun up at the
Capitol the other day-a $50,000,0 900
gun-that sent thrill of patriotism
throughout this land and reechoed all
over the world. And MIR. McKinlt y
was made TO understand that if $780,
O00, 900 was not enough to defend this
country and its honor, he might add
another cipher to the right of the fig
ures, and The MONEY was his. 1t was
the grandest exhibition that people
ever gave that slumberipg deep in
their hearts is loyalty, patriotism,
and spirit of sacrifice never equalled in
any legislative body on the face of
