MANILA FLEET WANTS A DOCK.
PERMISSION ASKED OF THE AU-
fHORITIES AT HONG KONG.

Serious Complication In the Guess
ton which the British Govern
ment VIII be Called Upon to De-
eide GunbOat ZafirO Ordered to
Leave English Waters In Twenty
four HOurs-Navy Department De-
cIares the Order Is Simply the En-
fOrcement of Strict Neutrality
Laws and of No Other Significance.
San Francisco, Aug. ga special from
Hong Kong says Consul General Wild
man has requested of the Hong Kong au-
thorities permission for the ships of the
American fleet, now at Manila, to be al
lowed to dock and repair here.
1.-The question presents such serious
complications that it had to be submitted
to the British home government for an
answer Meanwhile the harbor police or
dered the gunboat Zafiro, which arrived
here with dispatches from Gen. Merritt
and Admiral Dewey, to leave British wa
ters within twentyfour hours. The Gov
ernor is much distressed at the situation"
washington, Aug 2O.-The navy depart
ment authorities discount the significance
given the report of the enforcement Of
the neutrality laws at Hong Kong by or
dering the Zahro from the harbor and
deferring permission for the American
fleet to dock there. Admiral Dewey re-
Gently received orders from Acting Sec
rotary Allen to report on his plans for
docking and repairing the ships of his
fleet The cablegram sent him on this
subject gave only instructions to make an
inquiry as to the most available means
for attending to repairs which are need
ed.
The department will undoubtedly set
about negotiations to secure a suitable
place where the work could be executed
and the request to the authorities at Hong
Kong for permission probably followed
Immediately, and doubtless was carried
on the last trip of the zafro.
The action of the British harbor police
at Hong Kong in ordering the Zafiro to
leave British waters within twenty-four
hours is an action strictly in accordance
with the spirit and terms of the neutrall-
ty laws This is the view taken by Of
ficials at the navy department, whose Of
fcials say the American dispatch boat
since the inception of hostilties, never has
in port longer than that period
Permission to remain longer than that
time would be a breach of neutrality, ana
an action against which, in the case OF
Spanish vessels at certain other ports in
Western waters, this government pro-
tested.
The signing of a protocol in the view
of the naval authorities, would not alter
The circumstances of the case, as in the
absence of treaty of peace or some spe.

restrictions operate TO the same extent
as in actual war.

Saratoga, n. Y, Aug. 2O.-The national
conference of the foreign policy of the
United States resumed its deliberations
this morning. 1t was presided over by Ro-
bet Treat of Boston. After brief ad-
dress he defined himself as an anti -ex-
pansionist.
Mr.. Moreheld Storey of Boston next ad-
dressed the conference. He protested
against the establishment of any govern
ment in any of the conquered territory
unless with a free consent of the govern
ed people by vote a election. In con-
clusion, Mr.. Storey said: I'VE have said
that the native population of Hawaii was
not entitled to vote on the vital question
which we decided against their Will; that
by reason of their color or race, or ignor-
ance they may be governed without their
consent. 1t win be far more difficult
hereafter to insist that the colored voters
of the South are entitled to rights denied
to the colored voters of Hawaii, and SO
that equality of rights, which is the first
of the rights, is jeopardzed within our
own borders, and problems which we
thought the civil war had settled, are re-
opened to fresh and dangerous contro-
versy.

spoke against expansion.
Mayor p. W. Meldrim of Savannah, Ga,

Convictions.
Hawkinsville, Ga, Aug. 20-The August
term of the Superior Court closed yester-
day. Quite a number of felony cases were
disposed Of All misdemeanor cases were
transferred to the county court except
where the defendants pleaded guilty.
1t is a remarkable fact that in every
case. except one, the jury brought in a
verdict Of guilty, and in that case the
court directed verdict of not guilty on
technical grounds. In several cases the
juties recommended that the defendants
be punished as for misdemeanors. The
sentences passed by the court ranged in
length from ten months to FIVE years.
The report of the grand jury was full,
and recommended several important
changes. They found the books Of the
county officers all in good shape. They
recommended that the commissioners
build a new jail with jailor's house at

our road system.
