The Reported Surrender of Manila Only a Conjecture, BUT IT IS PROBABLY TRUE I'l‘he Dispatch Boat Hugh McCulloch, of Commodore Dewey’s Fleet, Ar- rives at Mirs Bay, but 'It is Said She Left Manila Before the Battle. Westminster Gazette’s Views on the Philippine Question. Hong Kong, May 4.—The United States dispatch boat Hugh McCulloch has arrived at Mirs Bay. It is said she lefthanila before the battle. CABLE NOT YET REPAIRED. Reported Fall of City. While Prob- ably True, Cannot Be Confirmed. London, May office of the Eastern Telegraph Com- pany show that the Hong Kong-Ma- nila cable is still interrupted. The re- , ported surrender of Manila, while probably true, is yet conjecture. The principal Manila merchants in London agree that the Philippine Isl- ands will be pleased to have the revolt ended, and will view with equanim- ity America’s future action there. They all gladly hail the end of a state of things which, the merchants say, is quite as bad .as inCuba. The Westminster Gazette, discussing > the Philippinequestion, quotes the as- sumption of American newspapers “that the United States can do pre- cisely what she chooses with Manila. or the Philippine, Islands, return them, keep them, sell them or barter them, implying that America has only to speak and no one will venture to dis- pute her right to dispose of her lawful prize as she Chooses.” The Westmin- ster Gazette says it much fears that “thisview will entail disagreeable sur- prises,” adding: “In entering European politics, the United States will probably discover that these simple ideas of doing what you will with your own have become obsolete in Europe. The first symp- toms are likely to be marked by an increase of the anti American pressure, which, if Great Britain could be count- ed on to join in it, would speedily lead to intervention in behalf of Spain.” After pointing out the futility of ex- pecting Great Britain to join in such a movement, and the probability of at- tempts on the part of the Continental powers, at the close of the war, to pre- vent 'the United "States from holding the Philippine Islands, the Vv’cstmins- ter Gazette says: ' “The natural tendency of all this is ..to bring -the United States and Great Britain‘together,’ and we hope it will be fostered by the statesmen and by a revival of the arbitration treaty at the first opportunity.” ' Vice-Admiral Philip Howard Colomb, retired, the inventor of improved sys- tems for signaling at sea and the au— thor of a number of naval works, in an interview on the victory at Manila, said: “I doubt if there ever was such an extraordinary illustration of the influ- ence of sea power. A superior fleet has attacked and beaten a. Spanish-fleet supported by batteries, and has taken up an unassailable position off Manila. The boldness of the "American, com- mander is beyond question. Hence- forth he must be placed in the Val- halla of great naval , commanders. Nothing can detract from the‘da‘sh and vigor of the American exploit, or dim. the glory which Dewey has shed upon 1 It may be bad for the world, for assuredly the Amer- can Navy will never accept a subordi- nate made after this exhibition of what it can do. ” » WAITING Foa THE News. Why the McCulloch Cannot Take rDispatches to Hong Kong. "Washington, May 5.—’1‘he Govern- ment is still without official news from Commodore Dewey. It was expected that dispatChes would arrive during the night, giving full authentic news of 'the great naval operations in the East, but not a wOrd of any kind has reached Washington except press dispatches. Secretary Long fully understands the reason for the delay. He explained this morning why, although the revenue cutter, McCulloch, had been sighed off Mirs Bay, near Hong Kong, no word had come by cable. As the McCulloch is 'now a United States war ship, un- der the neutrality laws, if she entered Hong Kong harbor, she would not be able to leave it again. She could not go there at this time for supplies or coal, because she only left that port a few weeks ago, and under the neutral- ity laws cannot return within three months. ' ' The McCulloch is supposed to be at Mirs Bay, forty miles from Hong Kong, and she will have to cdmmunicate with the city through the medium of a na- tive boat or other means of transpor- tation. The captain of the McCulloch cannot send one of his launches 0r gigs into the harbor, because it is part of the war vessel, and so the naval officer carrying the dispatches will have to make the forty miles in a. hired vessel. ' He will then go as a private Citizen, and not as a naval officer. The State Department does not ex- pect Consul Wildman to cable them be- . fore the captain of the McCulloch noti— fies the Navy Department. Undoubt- edly, the Consul will arrange to meet the naval officer from the McCulloch, and facilitate the sending of the dis- patches, but the first word will come to the Navy Department. There is the greatest interest mani- fested in the State, War and Navy De- partments over the arrival of the news, and crowds are waiting in the corri- dors to get the fist information.

Philadelphia, May 5.——The Board of Trustees of theUniversity of Pennsyl- vania has decided to offer undergrad- uate courses for women in every way equal to those now open to men, and which are to lead to the same degrees. Col. Joseph M. Bernett has presented to the university roar houses on Wal- nut street, adjoining Bennett Hall, valued altogether at 880,000. These ~ buildings will be razed and in their place a hall is to be erected exclusive- ly for women students, at a total cost" of about $500, 000. 5,—Inquiries at then, Anna,“ 8319-10119929199050995801100 such as Wind and Pain in the Stomach.

AMMUNITION FOR oewév’s FLEET. Large Quantities to Be Shipped 11."- Quickly as Possiblofi Washington, May 5.—Large quanti- ties of ammunition will be sent to Com- modore Dewey to replenish the maga- zines of his Ships. Shipments will be expedited, as the .American squadron would be in a bad way if an attack were made on it b} the Spanish shore forces. Ordnance officers say that the vessels under Dewey had full magazines, and even carried fixed ammunition on deck. They will not tell how much the maga- zines contained, but is pretty certain that none of the American ships had more than a couple of hundred rounds of powder and projectiles for its largest guns. _ In an engagement lasting two hours half of this must have been shot away, according to"the officers not in the Ord- nance Bureau, and they maintain that Dewey is badly in need of more sup- plies for the magazines. As for coal, not so much concern is felt. There is every confidemc' ex- pressed that Dewey will get all the Spanish coal in the Philippines. It is currently reported that these supplies aggregate 80,000 tons, enough :1: last“ the Ameiican vessels for a _\ 33.1, pro- vided not much cruising is done. Before leaving Hong Kong Commo- d01e Dewey had made arrangements for getting all the coal he needed. In order that there WOuld be no trouble ox er the neutrality laws it is pretty certain that Commodore Dewey made contracts for the delivery of the coal on the high seas. Naval officers say that this Was 1111'— long blockade of Manila. wear WAR win. COST us. Expenses fbr First Six Months.chll Deficiency Bill to $120, 000. 000..- Washington, May 5.—I't is expect-ed: that the war expenditures for the fii‘St six months of the coming fiscal y'e'ar propriation bill,‘now being held’in the 000. This is the rough calculation of Chairman Cannon, assuming that all these expenditures will be provided for in a single deficiency bill, instead-of earlier separate bills. The General Deficiency bill has been in readiness to report to the House for several weeks, but now will not be re: ported until just before the adjourn- ment of. Congress, which many of the leaders, including Chairman Dingley and Chairman Cannon, believe will be reached about the middle of' next month. Between now and then the War Department will submit its war estimates for the first part of the next fiscal year covering expenditures to be made until a month after Congress re- convenes. On a rough reckoning some- thing over $80,000,000 is expected to be asked for. . ._.____—.‘ BEST OF ALL Favorite Remedy Cures When All Other Medicines Fail.

Invasion of Cuba Delayed by,-Slo,sv-_ ness in Passing Emergency Bill. ,_ Washington, May 5.——Thé War Del par'tment officials are claiming that Congress is responsible for the slight delay in sending the army of invasion to Cuba. The department has not yet the money for the expedition, and as soon as the Emergency bill shall have become a law, everything will be ready for a. start. It is' explained that there is no definite postponement of the em- barkmentcf the troops from Tampa, and that the delay is merely from hour to hour, day to day, as the prepara- tions drag. The delay is not conse- quent upon any change of plan, nor on any opposition from the Navy Depart- ment. Information as to the terribly dis- cordant state of affairs in Spain, the fall of the dynasty being threatened, is calculated to hasten Operations 0n the part of the United States. While the Administration will not be led to take any step which has not been carefully considered, it is recognized here to be desirable that we should have posses- sion of Cuba and Porto Rico before a collapse comes in Spain. Should there be an overthrow of the Spanish dynasty and a new govern- ment of any sort should sue at once for peace, the terms of peace might not be so satisfactory if our offensive military operations had not begun and Cuba and Porto Rico were still in the pos- session of Spain. The intervention of the foreign powers would not be recog- nized by this Government, and war would have to be continued until there had been a. surrender. But, at the same time, it would be a very unsatis- factory situation if this Government, in order to accomplish whatit has set out to accomplish, had to make wag upon a nation without any responsible head, and torn by internal strife.

Sigsbee refuses to state, and all the; is known of him is that his father is a Spaniard and that his mother was born on Cuban soil. The suspected man en- listed some days ago as an oiler, and almost from the time of his enlistment. Was under suspicion, on account of his peculiar actions. _Late Tuesday night a marine on watch below decks near the powder magazine discovered the man acting in a suspicious way around the magazine. The marine lost 110 time in bringing the man to. the ground, and a short and severe fight followed. The guard overpowered him, but not before the suspect had received a great gash on Teams: 11.103.
