SPANISH STEAMER CAPTURED.

THE YORKTOWN MAKES A PRISONER OF
THE MI-NDARA- SUPPOSED TO HAVE
CONTRABAND OF WAR on BOARD.
Manila. March 2S.-Thc United States gunboat
Yorktown has arrived here with the Spanish
steamer Mundara. owned 10y the Mendezona
Company. Of this place The steamer was capt
ured after a hard chase. in the Gulf Of Lin
rayen When she was first sighted the Mundara
was entering the gulf. but she headed seward.
The Yorktown fired two shots before the steamer
was overhauled.
Washington, March 2sThe Navy Depart
nent received nothing from Admiral Dewey to-
day and up to the close Of Office hours nothing
official had been received concerning the achieve
ment Of the Yorktown i'm capturing a Spanish
merchantmen in the Gulf of Lingayen. While
the dispatch is silent as to the cause for the
capturc. ii is surmised that Il due TO her
carving contraband Of war This is apparently
borne out by the fact that the gulf leads TO the
terminus of the railway. which. in turn, leads to
the insurgent capital Of Malolos. 1t is further
borne out by the fact of the capture itself which
would hardly be attempted against neutral
merchant ship unless for serious reasons. Spain
is now practically in the position If neutral SO
that her merchant ships have immunity from
capture unless there Is good foundation for be-
lief that aid and comfort are being given 10 the
enemy. The last information from Dewey as to
the Yorktown came Yesterday when he stated
that the gunboat cruising of Luzon.

He is confident that the Americans would pre-
fer TO clear out" but explains that they cannot
do this because Of the foreign merchants
