FLEET at Philippines
Great Naval Engagement Imminent Be
tween Commodore Dewey's Ships
and the Spaniards.

Hong Kong April 3O.-It is denied
that the Spanish fleet has left Manila
to meet the American squadron. on
the contrary, it is asserted that the
Spanish Warships Will remain in Man
lila bay to assist the forts.
1t is reported from Manila that the
American warships have been sighted
off Bolinao, where the rebellion broke
out last February, but the weather has
been too stormy for the fleet to COM
municate with the rebels.
Commodore Dewey is accompanied
by Jose AleXandrino, a prominent Of
nCer under Aguinaldo. Alexandrino
has magical influence In the Philip
pines, and will head the popular move
ment to throw off the Spanish rule.
A naval battle is expected at any hour
in Manila bay.
The insurgent chief Aguinaldo is
coming to Hong Kong from Singapore.
1t is alleged that he absconded with
half million dollars, paid by the
| Spanish government for the other in
| surgent leaders. Aguinaldo and his
colleagues are celebrating a plan to
make a descent in force near Manila.
| They have secured a vessel for the
purpose, and have been plentifully sup
piled with arms and ammunition from
| the American squadron.
Russia will send naval experts ia
the Spanish and American warships
to be eye witnesses of the impending
battles If permission is obtained, which
is regarded as doubtful. The interest
of Russia in the war Is evidenced by
her leading statesmen in starting the
idea, which was coon taken up by their
colleagues at Berlin, Paris and Vienna
that the first real naval battle must be
used for ending the war, which practi-
cally means pressure upon Spain tC
give up Cuba, because if the war lasts
too long it is thought the United States
might create a powerful navy
That Russia should allow the United
States to retain the Philippines with
out ample compensation to Russia and
her allies appears as doubtful as that
| the islands should be allowed to fall
into the hands of England by arrange
ment with the United States, without
such differences arising as might easily
lead to war among the great powers.
According to another Manila dis
patch the Voz Espanola describes the
port of Manila as impregnable. The
paper asserts that the forts at Male
ton, Sud Malate. Mileta, Pasten Miral-
las and st. Lucia Blar bristle with
guns, chiefly Krupp guns. No bonn
oardment can be attempted by the
American commanders with much
chance Of success The entrance to
Manila bay is mined. and ten inch guns
have been mounted.

AN OFFICIAL VERSION
Of the Matanzas BOmbardment as Given
Out by the Spanish Minister of
War Only a Mule Killed.

Madrid, April 30.-The minister of
war, General CoTrea, in the chamber of
deputies yesterday, replying to in
quiries for particulars in regard to the
bombardment of the forts of Matanzas,
said the government had decided to
publish all the news received, good or
bad" He told the deputies that the
United States squadron fired 60 pro-
jectiles, and that the only victim was
a mule, remark which aroused
laughter among the Spaniards. The
general next informed the house that
the American warships We're injured
by the fire of the Spanish batteries,
and continuing he asserted that the
insurgents We're acting i'm conjunction
with the United States forces as they
advanced in the direction of Matanzas
while the bombardmeut was proceed
ing. But" added the minister of war,
they were completely routed. 1t was
a glorious day for the Spanish arms"
A great impression has been pro-
duced here by "A rumOr that the Ger
man government has issued a note de-
clarlng that IT will not oppose the land
ing of troops In the Philippines, but
will not permit a bombardment, owing
to the important German mercantile
interests in all the towns of the islands.
Germany's omission to declare neu-
trality is held to give color to this
rumor.
The captain of the Spanish steamer
Montserrat, the vessel which was bound
for Havana with a valuable cargo, and
which succeeded in making the port of
Cienfuegos, province Of Santa Clara,
has been decorated with the Red Cross
and has been granted special pension.
1t is asserted on semi-onieial author
ity that the Spanish government is
upon the point of eXpelling all citizens
of the United States from Spain.

THE County Commissioners, re-
Gently appointed by the court, have
relieved the anxiety of those seeking
political plums in the Office on the
hill. While Pottsville and SchuylRin
Haven have secured the lions share
in the distribution, at the sacrifice of
other and more deserving towns,
Shenandoah makes slight gain
Heretofore we had no representation
in the Commissioners Office, and the
appointment of eX-Justice of the
Peace II. Il. Williams, of town, to the
position of docket clerk, is favorably
received here. A lifelong Republi-
can, who has always taken an active
interest in the success of the party
nominees, without regard to fac

certainly deserving of the recogni-

sioners, and we predict that his in

SPANISH FLEET OFF.
Vessels Have Left Cape Verde Islands by
Invitation of the Portuguese
Government.

Washington, April 30-The news of
yesterday of most interest in this city
was the departure from Cape Verde
Island of the Spanish fleet, the stay of
which at ST. Vincent has been a source
of anxiety on the part of the officials
here because it seemed to indicate that
the sympathy of Portugal for Spain
might lead her to wink at a violation
Of neutrality laws in favor of Spain.
Late in the afternoon a Cablegram
came from the state department from
Cape Verde, bearing no signature, an
nouncing that four batteships and
three torepdo boats had started north,
and some Of the transports for Cuba,
and that the northern fleet returned
shortly, having been in collision. The
destination of the fleet is, of course,
unknown, though it is given out in
Madrid that the vessels are ordered to
North Atlantic points. The fact that
1t is proclaimed in Madrid makes the
! story extremely Improbable.
Captain Sampson sent a telegram
relative to the firing at the Matanzas
forts, but it was disappointingly lack
ing in detail, but the few words CON
tanned i'm the dispatch went to confirm
the official view that the affair was
nothing more than "A naval reconnois-
sance.
No news came yesterday from Ad-
miral Dewey's squadron, now on its
way to the Philippines to do battle with
the Spanish fleet. one officer pointed
out that if Admiral Dewey succeeded
in defeating the Spanish fleet the
Spanish officials, who control the cable
connecting the island with the rest of
the world, in all probability may sup
press the news or dstort the facts into
a Spanish victory.
Niscount De Santo Thyrso, the Portu-
guese minister, looked over the press
dispatch from Lisbon giving the sub
stance of the neutrality decree gazet-
ted there Yesterday, and said it was
evidently accurate. The viscount says
that article g. which permits belliger-
ents to make a short stop at Portu-
guese ports, probably will be better
understood by saying that belligerents
Will not be permitted to make long
stays at Portuguese ports. Under the
usual rules of international law the
stay is likely to be confined to a day
or two.
