This is especially the case j In the province of Gijon on the Bay of Biscay, where the troops have been ] compelled to fire on the rioters "in self defense." The latest news from Gijon is that the artillery have been ordered out. When the troops appeared they were hotly stoned, replying with fire and wounding many. The mob then at tacked the government buildings and smashed the windows. The troops again fired, this time from the balcon ies, and wounded many, but the wom en kept on throwing stones. % At Talavera de la Royna one of the Jesuit religious houses has been burned. It is aserted here that the riots arise from hunger rather than from political motives. The situation in the provinces is un changed and everywhere the disatlsfac tion is growing, especially over the prices of bread. Acts against author ority are becoming: more and more overt.

One More Defeat I.iUe That at Cavite Would Settle It. LONDON, iviay s.—The Madrid cor respondent of The Daily Telegraph says: "Those who are best informed as to the government's view allege that if the Spanish arms suffer another re verse like that at Oavite the govern ment would informally request the great powers to lend their services to arrange the best possible terms of peace. Many Liberals consider that Spain, having maintained her honor and justified her chivalry can now af ford to yield to superior force; but it is doubtful whether the public opinion would approve this line of action. "I am assured that the government would be content to cede Cuba to the United States, out would not pay in demnity, because unable. Well in formed politicians here regard the war as practically terminated, and that toward the end of May it will become history. ARMY UNRELIABLE. Some Very Terrible Thing* May Shortly Happen In Spain. LONDON, May s.—The Madrid cor respondent of The Morning Post says: "The government are aware that they cannot rely upon the army. It is an open secret that a society has been formed within its ranks to put an end to the humiliations Spain has suffered at the hands of her incompetent min isters. Judging bv what one hears, very terrible things may shortly hap pen." Grave Kvents Predicted. MADRID, May s.—The Carlist or gans and The Imparcial and Liberal predict grave events.

One Way of Averting an Anti-Dynastic Movement, LONDON, May s.—The Vienna cor respondent of the Daily Chronicle says: "The idea of the resignation of the reg ency by Queen Maria Christina is being seriously considered by the members of the imper. . family of Austria, with a view of averting an anti-dynastic j mm ir.'-nt and saving the throne.

ALBANY, May 5. —Governor Black has authorized the acqueduct commis sioners of New York city to appoint 100 special deputies to guard the Croton acqueduct so as to prevent anv at tempts that might be made by Spanish spies to blow up the same and thereby cripple the water supply of New York city. The governor gave this permission on the application of Peter J. Dooling, president of the acqueduct commission. Commissioner Charles H. Murray and Harry W. Walker, secretary to the commission. These commissioners told the governor that rumors were current that it war the Intention of Spanish spies in New York city to destroy the Croton aqueduct, that the water supply of New York city would be crippled to such an extent that the city would be threatened with a water famine which would prove very disastrous. They asked the governor to author ize them to appoint 100 special depu ties to patrol the Croton acqueduct and thwart any attempt that might be made to destroy it. The governor ac quiesced in their requests as stated above. _____ POLITICIANS NOT PLEADED. I'nited States Will He a First Class Naval Power Hereafter. LONDON, May s.—There can be no doubt that the unexpected success of the United States at Manila gives lit tle pleasure to continental politicians, j who recognize that America is now j certain to become a first-class power and will have to be reckoned with in the world's affairs. The fact that the American papers are looking kindiy upon the possibility of a British pro tectorate in the Philippines gives .ad ditional umbrage, as indicating a con vergence of America and England toward an extente. Lord Salisbury's speech before the Primrose league yesterday appeared to show that he had a presentment of the 1 change now working in his vague pro phetic forebodings of coming trouble. | The premier spoke of the "living and j dying countries of the world," and of j how the former were gradually en- I croaching upon the latter. He spoke | also of the "corruption of dying coun | tries," a corruption so deep seated as | to give the smallest hope of reform." j and he referred to the partition of j these countries as 1 ikwrly to lead nations j into war. "Dying countries," said Lord Salis bury, "are mostly unchristian, but, I regret to say, not exclusively so." PERFECT IN PRACTICE. I The Flying Squadron May Soon Goto Sea. OLD POINT COMFORT, Va„ May S.—lt is the general expectation here that the flying squadron will goto sea within 24 hours, or as soon as the | cruiser New Orleans arrives. Como ; dore Schley has been notified that the j cruiser Columbia has been detached j from the squadron and that the New Orleans will take her place. So far as | fighting ability is concerned the New | Orleans is superior to the Columbia, being more heavily armored and with out so much free board and upper works to act as a target. The Minneapolis has not yet been officially detached and may yet join the squadron. On the ships fire and collision drills were gone through in remarkable shape. During the collis ion drill the watertight compartments were closed and the matter to repair a break in the hull ready in less than Fvo minutes. BASE BALL.

WASHINGTON, May A eensation was caused throughout the city by the news that came of the arrival of a ves sel, supposed to be the dispatch boat McCulloch, at Mirs bay, 40 miles from Hong Kong, the cable terminus. The officials immediately fell into an air of expectancy, waiting for some word from Admiral Dewey that would not only confirm officially the stirring news of «the battle of Manila, as re ported by the press, but telling what had happened since the cable was in terrupted. Up to this time no word has come from Hong Kong, and the officials who believe that the McCulloch was really in Mirs bay were put to de vising ingenious explanations of the delay in the receipt of a cablegram. These touched upon the 12 hours dif ference in time, the distance from Mirs bay to Hong Kong, which had to be overcome by the messenger, and the slowness of cable communication ow ing to the number of relays on the enormously long circuit from Hong Kong to New York. Some of the naval officers, however, xW'ho steadfastly contended that Admi ral Dewey would not have sent away his dispatch boat until he had complet ed his dispatch and received the sur render of Manila, pointed out that if they were right in that assumption it would not be possible for the McCul loch to reach Hong Kong up to this time. Great interest is felt in the reported return of the Spanish Cape Verde (leet to Cadiz, but while admitting the pos sibility of the fast vessels of the Span ish llying squadron making the passage in the live days that the vessels have been out from St. Vincent, the naval officers are disposd to regard with great suspicion of this kind, emanating from Portugal, because of the recognized sympathy of the Portuguese with the Spanish side. It would be worth a good deal to the Spanish admiral com j manding the llying squadron, supposing he were on his way across the Atlantic, : to throw us off our guard by having us believe that he had returned to j Spain. The navy department has now se cured two vessels, the Australia and the City of Pekin in San Francisco, which will be loaded with coal and sup plies and rushed off to join Commodore J Dewey's (leet. Whether or not they will carry troops will be determined | positively when the commodore is ; heard from upon this matter. The navy deparment is hurrying to gether an exceptionally large stock of ; ammunition togo forward by the City | of Pekin to recruit the ammunition of j Commodore Dewey's fleet, j The first shipment of projectiles left | New York yesterday, and additional shipments will be made until the full quota of powder and shot will be in San Francisco within the next 10 days. There will be a total of more than 20,- 000 projectiles of various calibre and weight. The navy deparment is fortunate in having laid in ample stock of projec tiles of all weights and sizes, so that there will be no delay in getting a full supply ready for shipment to Commo dore Dewey. The supply of powder is not so readily obtained, as powder has been distributed to the several fleets and ships as fast as it has come from the powder mills. But owing to the emergency in the case of the Asiatic fleet powder intended for other use 3 will be frowarded to San Francisco and sent to Commodore Dewey. The recent explosions at powder mills have not crippled the navy deparment in securing suplies, but they have caused some delay in filling the orders of the war department. LAYING SUBMARINE MINES. The Harbor at New York City Is Now Well Protected. NEW YORK, May s.—The work of j laying the submarine mines in the har ) bor of New York «s being rushed. The | work is under the charge of Major John j G. D. Knight ol' the engineer corps at Willets Point, and I.ieyU»jnant Robert McGregor at Sandy They have a large force at work, but owing to the heavy navigation the work is pro i gressing slowly. The engineer corps have for use at Sandy Hook alons j eight tons of dynamite. Admiral Erben will forward to the } navy department a list of 14 boats i that he has selected as suitable for the \ mosquito lleet to patrol the harbor. He j will recommend the immediate detail of the boats to protect the mine fields ; and to enforce the harbor regulations. FEELING IM MEXICO. Some Difficulty In Knforelng the Neu trality l,awH. CITY OF MEXICO, May s.—'The gov j ernment has stopped the contempla j ted meeting of Spanish clerks here for j the purpose of raising money and vol- unteers for Spain. The police were or- j dereil to prevent the meeting as con trary to the obligation of ii neutral na tion. There lias been gr .it fxcitemint h' over the American naval victory, o.ml j its moral effect will be great, for the Spanish local papers and other jour- j nals under Spanish influence have con- I fidently predicted triumph for Spain I in the iirst encounter on the ocean. Resident Europeans who have been predicting the defeat of the Americans are chagrined. There In intense com mercial jealousy of Americans, and this hostile sentiment is displayed in the papers here. The Spaniards are predicting an unexpected blow by their cruisers at some point on the Atlantic coast. Caring Well For Prisoner*. j WASHINGTON. May s.—Secretary Alger has directed that the 10 Spanish officers and the 10 privates and non commissioned officers taken from the Spanish steamer Agonanta, and now at Key West, be taken to Fort Mc pherson, just outside of Atlanta, for confinement until they are either ex changed for any American officers or sailors who may be taken by the Span iards, or until some other method for their disposition is reached. The Span- | iards will be well cared for. No Kiifth to Enlist, BOSTON, May s.—Applicants for en listment in the army are growing fewer in number, which is believed to be due to a popular impression that the trouble with Spain is nearly over. Getting; the Heady. BOSTON, May 5.-Commandant llow ison of the Charlestown navy yard has received orders from Washington to have the Lancaster sail from this port by the 10th inst. PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. Their lteNOtirceK, (irofftli of Ameriean Trade, Ktc. WASHINGTON, May s.—The under standing at the state department is that Consul Oscar F. Williams, our representative at Manila until the re cent war began, is now aboard the llagship Olympia in Manila harbor, having accompanied Dewey from Hong Kong, so that advices may come from him to the state department as well as from Commodore Dewey to the navy department. A mail report from Consul Williams reached the state department recently under date of Manila, Feb. 28, last. It gives a full description of the Philip pine islands, their resources, growth of American trade, etc. Mr. Williams' report says: "Local and European authorities es timate the area of the Philippine isl ands at 150,000 square miles and their population at 15,000,000. The island of Luzon, on which the city of Manila is situated, is larger than New York and Massachusetts and has a population of 5,000,000, and the island of Mindanao is nearly if not quite as large. There are scores of other islands. An idea of the extent of the population of the Philippines may be formed when it is stated that the six New England states and New York, New Jersey, Del aware and Maryland have 10 per cent less area and population." Mr. Wison states that 22 consulates, representing the leading commercial countries of the world, are established at Manila. He adds the surprising statement; "The volume of the export trade, coming under my official supervision, equals that of my 21 consular col leagues combined." He then shows in detail how the trade of the Philippines with the United States exceeds that of all other countries combined and is growing at a remarkable rate. As in dicating the extent of this trade he says: "Today I have authenticated invoices for export to the LTnited States amounting to $138,060." He says the exports to this country average $1,000,000 a month. The report states that- 216,000 bales of hemp were exported during the last three months. Of these 138,792 went to the United States and 78,000 to Great Britain and other countries. Mr. »> nliams shows from this that the United States has 64 per cent of the export trade from the Philippines as against 36 per cent for Great Britain and other countries. He says that last year the increase of shipments to the United States was 133,000 bales and the decrease to Great Britain 22,000 bales. He adds: "Of increased shipments from the Philippines, those to the Unit ed States were 54 per cent greater than to all other countries combined." He also gives details of the large shipments of sugar, cigars, tobacco, woods, hides, shells, indigo and coffee. In the item of sugar, which is second in importance, the shipments to the United States were 55 per cent of the total to all points. In a previous report, dated Feb. 10, Mr. Williams stated that Manila had just passed through a most devastat ing fire, the total loss being $2,500,000. He said the city would have been to tally destroyed had it not been for the splendid service of an American lire engine brought from Seneca Falls N. Y. In another report Mr. Williams gives the railroad and ocean steamship fa cilities of the Philippines. The main railroad from Manila is first-class, having steel rails, stone culverts and English engines which make 40 miles an hour. There are four steamship lines to Hong Kong and a monthly line from Manila to Liverpool. Besides these direct reports from the United States consul, the state depart ment also has a gazetter published at Hong Kong, which gives a full account of conditions in the Philippines. It shows that by last census the popula tion of Manila was 160,000 natives, 61,- 000 Chinese, 4,100 Spaniards and 250 I Europeans other than Spaniards. The town is made up of low build ings, as the people are in constant dread of earthquakes. One of these, j convulsions killed 300 people, and the last one, in 1880, wrecked most of the 1 town. The city proper is within walls | where the government buildings are 1 located. The residence and business j portions are in the suburb. The Es cotta is the main business street and is lined with European stores and baz zars. The Rosanio is lined with Clii- I nese shops. There are six daily pa pers, three banks, a mint, a chamber of commerce and complete electric light and telephone plants. The Mex ican dollar is in general use. Giadxtoiie Condition. LONDON, May s.—Mr. Gladstones strength steadily declines, though there is no prospect o 112 an immediate end. He is now confined to his room. Now and again his mind reverts to critical periods in his career and to the legislation which cost him the most anxiety; but the main thing that fills his thought is religion, and he speaks of death as his call. Tugboat Itioabled. VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass., May s.—The monitor Lehigh sailed in tow of the tug Clara Clarita for Portland, but when off Cape Pogue the tug blew a plug from a leaky tube in her boilers and was compelled to return here for repairs.
