NO TIME FOR REPAIRS
Ships at Manila Must Stay Until At.
ter the War, or Put Out to Sea at
Once. Peace Efforts are Futile
at Least Till the Russ Gets
Another Japan Dressing.
(Bv the Associated Press }

Washington, June 5.-Admiral En-
quist will not be allowed to repair his
ships at Manila. This government has
decided that as the injuries to the ves-
sells were not caused either by the sea
or story they will be obliged to refuse
permission for the vessels to be repair.
ed there. Today Secretary Taft cabled
the following instructions to Governor
Wright of Manila, regarding the ships:
Time cannot be given for the re-
pair of the injuries received in battle.
Therefore the vessels cannot be re-
paired unless interned until the end of
hostilities"
Admiral Train has been instructed
accordingly. 1t was stated by Secre-
tary Taft that if the Russian vessels
agreed to leave Manila in their pres
ent condition they were welcome to do
so, but as it did not appear that they
suffered from any damage caused by
the sea or storm, this government was
obliged to take the position above out
lined.
The Presidents decision regarding
the disposition of the Russian vessels
at Manila. that they shall intern or put
Ia sea is, it is said here, in accordance
with the best naval opinion and is in
pursuit of the policy of strict neutral
ity followed by the Washington gov
ernment from the beginning of the
war. 1t is specifically declared that
there is no intention to show the
slightest favoritism in the matter and
everything possible will be done for
the comfort of the wounded Russians.
The ships, when interned, will of
course be allowed to be put in habit
able condition and such repairs as are
necessary to keep them af1oat will be
allowed.
The decision of the President was
announced after conferences Hyith Sec
retaries Morton and Taft. Rear Ad-
miral Converse, Chief of the Bureau
of Navigation, personally took charge
of the preparation of instructions TO
Rear Admiral Train, who is to be in
supreme charge of the details of in
ternment, this being the practice fol-
lowed when the Lena put into port at
san Francisco and was interned under
the direction of the commandant of the
Mare Island navy yard The instruc-
tons to Admiral Train when complet-
ed, will be approved by the Secretary
and cabled to Manila in the eXpecta-
tion that Admiral Enquist will forth
with decide to intern in view of the
bad condition of his vessels.
The apanese minister here having
formally inquired of the Department
of state what action the United States
government intends to take respecting
the Russian war vessels now in Ma
Mia Bay. Acting Secretary Loomis to-
day responded that these vessels would
be interned, provided they did moi
leave the harbor at once. This ex-
change has taken place in order to
formally establish the responsibility OF
the United States for the detention Of
the vessels in Manila harbor until the
end of hoStilities.
