OMAHA EXPOSITION.
Meeting at Sam Francisco to Ar
range for a California Exhibit.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-The COM
mission recently appointed by Govern
or Budd to make arrangements for
sending an exhibit to the Omaha Ex-
position held its first meeting in the
Toffice of M H. de Young to-day at noon.
Mr.. de Young. who was named by the
Governor as Commissioner General to
represent the State, presided, and the
other members of the commission were
present as follows: w, H. Mills, rep
resenting the Board of Trade; Robert
McMurray, Wendell Easton. c. NJ
Wooster of San Jose.
Commissioner General de +, Young
called the attention Of the other Com
missioners to the Importance of imme-
idiate action if the State proposed to do
tanything at ALL The Trans Mississippi
and International Exposition would, he
said, open in Omaha June 1st, and
there was very little time. Now, gem
tlemen," he asked, where is this mon
ey to come from? I for one am ready
to contribute"
Mr. Easton said he did not think that
the commission should be expected to
go into it's own pockets for the $4,000
that would be needed He suggested
that popular subscription be raised.
Mr.. Mills said the people were welded
to the idea Of giving a semi-centennial
exposition in this State and that money
was also being raised for the wounded.
He added that the State Board Of Trade
had no funds that could be used for
this purpose.
1t was agreed that the State Mining
Bureaus collection should be sent to
Omaha, and if possible the State Horti-
cultural exhibit.
Commissioner-Gener de Young was
appointed committee to ascertain if
authority could be had to take the Min
ing Bureaus exhibit and Mr.. McMur-
ray was requested to ascertain what
the Horticultural Bureau could do. The
commission adjourned until to-mor-
row.

THE BATTLE OF MANILA.
Spanish Papers Criticise Govern
ment for Lack of Preparation.

MADRID, May 3.-Commenting upon
the battle of Manila, Eel Nacional,"
which is the organ OF the Weylerite
party, says:
Yesterday, when the first intelll-
gence arrived, nothing better occurred
to Admiral Bermejo, Minister of Ma
rine, than to send TO all the newspa-
pers comparative statistics of the two
contending squadrons. BY this com
parison he sought to direct public at
tention to the immense superiority of
a squadron of ironclads over a squad
ron of wooden vessels, dried by the
heat in those latitudes. Spain un-
doubtedly sees therein the heroism OF
our marines, but she also and above all
sees the nefarious crime of the Gov
ernment. 1t is unfair to blame the en-
emy for possessing forces superior 10
ours, but what is worthy of beinS
blamed with all possible vehemence is
this infamous Government which al
lowed our inferiority without neutral
izing it by means of preparation"
With reference to the catastrophe,
eel Nacional'' continues: "A good bat
terry off Corregidor Island, with great
refectors and guns capable of sweep
ing the seas for miles around. would
have kept the American squadron out
of the bay In Corrergidor there We're
only few wretched guns taken from
the warships a few days ago. This is
the truth Our sailors have been base

From the very first cannon shot our
fragile ships were at the mercy of the
formidable hostile squadron. They
were condemned TO fall one. after an
other. under the fire of the American
batteries, powerless to strike, and were
defended only by the yalor in the
breasts Of their Sailors
Ell Heraldo," ," referring further on to
the extent of the disaster, says: I'VE
cannot define it, The Government has
not defined it for the information of
the country; and although the greater
portion of yesterdays Cabinet council
was devoted to the subject, the Gov
eminent has refused to issue even
note, leaving US in ignorance respecting
it's views on this fateful event. There
is nothing rash in the supicion that the
Governments attitude in this matter is
q desire to hide a part of the truth
This. however, is a baneful mistake.

THE MANILA FIGHT.
Naval and Military Lessons to be
Learned From It.

RERLIN May 3.-The comment
here on the Manila fight largely con-
Germs the naval and military lessons to
be learned from it.
The 'Nord Deutsche Allegemeine Zei-
tung'' SAYS; Every Government IAN

o1Iated vessels in its navy, since 1T is
certain that their crews are predestin2d
to perish at the first encounter.

rived at an agreement respecting neG-
trality and the possibility of interven-
tion. second, that the German ships

PROBABLE. MEETING OF THE At

LONDON, May 3.-While Manila is

all kinds of speculation as to the prot

LONDON, May 3.--A Cadiz dispatch
says that the second Spanish squadron,
consisting of the warships Pelayo, AL

of smaller vessels, have nearly COM
pleted its preparations for active Ser
vice. 1t is reported, however, that great
difficulty is experienced in fitting out

Two Regiments Which Cam Assem-

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.--The fol-
lowing message was to-day telegraphed
to Senators White and Perkins at Wash
ington By Governor Budd:
California has seventeen fine addi-
tiona1 companies of Infantry of the Ma
tional Guard in GOOD condition, which
can be assembled at San Francisco on
twenty y-four hours notice. They con-
sist of two regiments, one of eight COM
panies, well drilled and disciplined. Urge
their acceptance by the United States
as volunteers. IF the National Govern
ment will refurnish the National Guard
with the uniforms and equipments ad-
vanced by this State, or pay for same
promptly, we can reurganize and re-
clothe guard within thirty days. Try
at least to have them accept four COM
panies more, so as to allow us to furnish
three full regiments of infantry Of
twelve com2anies EACH
The announcement that the Govern
ment would probably send Pacific Coast
troops to the Philippines as soon as
possible. after Commodore Dewey's re-
port has been received created consid-
cradle excitement in this city. The Off
GERS Of the various departments at army
headquarters eagerly read the Associa-
ted Press dispatch Which conveyed the
first intimation of the Government ac-
ton, and evinced the liveliest interest
in this new chance for active service.
In the absence of General Merriam, who
is in command of the Department of
California, now at Vancouver Barracks,
nothing definite could be learned as TO
what, if any, instructions had been re-
ceived or given. but his subordinates
stated that they were fully prepared to
dispatch the requisite number of men as
soon as the demand is made for them.
General Warfield of the National
Guard stated that he had not received
any instructions, but that California S
quota would be ready and fully
equipped for the Journey to the Philip
pines. or anywhere else, within forty
eight hours after being notified.

HEAVY CANNONADING
Reported OFF the Coast of New
foundIand.

u ST JOHNS IN. F), Mas 3.-The tele-
graph operator at Trepassey reports
concerning the mysterious cannonad
ing off that port Saturday night as fol-
d lows:
About 10 o'clock Saturday night
heavy firing could be distinctly heard
in the bay south of Trepassey, lasting
about fifteen minutes. The shots came
very quickly after each other, some be-
ing very loud and heavy, sufficient to
cause the houses here to tremble. Otn-
ers were short and sharp, as if from
lighter pieces.
Another cannonading was heard be-
fore daybreak on Sunday. This lasted
about twenty minutes. Crowds of peo-
pie. aroused by the first reports fiocked
to the waters edge. The first impress
sion was that some steamer in distress
in the bay was firing rockets, but the
discharges were too heavy and too rap
id for that. Then it was agreed that
perhaps there was a naval battle in
progress.
About 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon
a number of Trepassey people saw
large steamer in the offing. They be-
1ieve it was a warship. She was two
masted with two tunnels and high in
the middle. She was about eight miles
off shore, going dead slow and bound
west For nearly an hour she was in
sight.
In Saturday nights cannonading
from fifty to sixty shots were fired.
The telegraph operator at Cape Race.
which is fifteen miles east of Trepas-
sev. confirms the report of the Trepas-
sey operator as to the firing of guns
between 10 and II o'clock Saturday
night.

the Philippines under the protection Of
the British flag
Captain General. Augtsti wires that
the British Consul called upon him to
say that he would take the Chinese
subjects to the Philippines under9 the
protection of the British flag to safe
guard their lives and property. The
Captain General added that a number
of rich and influential Chinese at Man
ila had assured him that they were
satisfied with the protection of Spain.
Moret, Minister for the. Colonies, re-
piled to Captain-General Augusti that
there was no reason to accept the pro-
tectorate which the British Consul
wished to exercise. The British Con-
sul's offer had been communicated to
the Powers.
TheGovernment apparently sees some
deep-laid machination on the part of
Great Britain, for the official note SAYS:
This news caused surprise. although
people are accustomed to the methods
of those who direct British interests
! The question is asked: What can be
the object Of the British request? China
is not in a position to expect this or
any other protectorate, but the British
/ take it upon themselves to be the pro-
tectors of the Celestial Empire against
the French, Russians and Germans,
undoubtedly to acquire new title to
the protectorate of Chinese in the Phil
fippines. The Spanish Government can

May 3.-The interest and enthusiasm
