Washington, May 1C The dispatches from Hone IConc brought welcome news yesterday from Admiral Dewey, Wlillo no apprehension existed as to his security, nevertheless reassuranco of safety is always pleasant. Tho cablegram Indicates that Dewey has lost none of the prestlgo gained in his memorablo fight of two weeks ago and that while ho refrains from taking tho city of Manila, he has It practically at his mercy. The admiral expresses the belief that tho rebels are hemming In the city by land, but tho fact that he says explicitly that thoy have made no demonstrations was to disprove thoroughly tho published reports tuut thoy had already entered Manila and had begun a career of bloodshed and raplno. I The best evidence of tho effective ness of tho blockade maintained by tho American admiral and also of tho work of tho Insurgents in surrounding the city is shown in the statements in the dispatches that provisions are scarce in tho city of Manila, which seems to indicate to Admiral Dewoy an early surrender by tho Spanish authorities. Another published report Beems also to be refuted by tho admiral's advices, and that is that the rebels had raided Cavite, whore the Spanish naval sta tion was located and where presumably large supplies of arms and ammuni tion were kept. If the rebels have been supplying themselves with arms it must have been with the admiral's consent, as his dispatch Is originally dated from Cavite, indicating that ho Is still in possession. Tho greatest satisfaction prevails here over the good work being done and the effective ness of the blockade being maintained by him. Tho Hong Kong dispatch, as given out by Secretary Long, Is as follows: "Tho United States dispatch boat Hugh McCulloch arrived here yester day from Manila with dispatches for tho United States government. Sho reports that the Spanish gunboat Cal- lao, from tho Caroline Islands, re cently entered the port of Manila, be ing ignorant of the outbreak of hos tilities botweon Spain and the United States. An American warship fired across her bows and signaled her a demand for surrender. Tho demand being disregarded, tho American ship fired direct at tho Spanish gunboat, and the latter surrendered. "Tho populace of Manila is reduced to eating horse flesh, and tho prospect ot relief seems far distant. 'The Hugh McCulloch also reports that tho Philippine Insurgents applied to Rear Admiral Dewoy for his ap proval of an attack by them upon the city. Tho admiral, it appears, ap proved of the plan, provided no ex cesses were commuted. Tho insur gents then pleaded that thoy had no arms, with tho exception of machotes, to which tho admiral replied: 'Help yourselves at tho Cavite arsenal.' "Tho city of Manila, however, has not yet beon attacked. About 5,000 Spanish troops aro guarding tho road leading from Cavite to Manila. There is no truth in tho reported mnssacro of a number of Americans. There has only been a trilling incident during poll co duty, and nobody was hurt."

This movo will probably savo tho Harvard and put tho Terror in a predicament. These vessels aro to destroy all Spaniili vessels at Martiulquo outsido the tlirco mile limit and to blockade tho Terror in Fort do Franco. It is oxpected tho American ships will arrive in the vicinity sumo tiino this afternoon, and interesting news may be expected from that quarter at any time. it is loaruou mat instead or two colllors, as has been believed, thoro were four of these vosscls, carrying about 8,000 tone of coal, sufficient to recoal every ship of tho Spanish squadron at Curacao, Tlio Navy department heard from tho Oregon this morning, but will not mako public her whereabouts.

Tho speech made by Mr. Chamberlain, tho British Colonial Secretary lias producod much unfavorable comment hero. Both Prime Minister Saeasta and her Senor Gullou bcliovo the speech indicates that a way is being paved for an Anglo Admiral Sampson will likely tako his sta- American alliance. It is behoved that the tlon in the passage betweou Cuba and San Cabinet will consider Mr. Chamberlain Domingo until tho flying squadron reaches speech, and will afterward invito tho Europ Havana, and then start to tho south coast of can ptwers to express their opinion on tho Cuba in tho hopo of meeting tho enemy. It probable effect of an Anglo-Americin allianco will he the design of Sampson and Schley to on Europe's interests.

Spaniards could not coal at Martinique, and sailed for their presont location for that purpose, whero tho sea is very smooth and wharo they nro less liable to como in con tract with Admiral Sampson. In proceeding to Curacao they did not lose such a great dis- tho west- tauce, as that island lies more to ward than to tho south of Martiulquo. Thoro is not much likelihood of meeting the enemy before Wednesday at tho earliest, unless Sampson has orders to sail in their direction, instead of waltlug for thorn, It is likely that tho Spanish Admiral will tako his vessels close along tho Central Amorican and Mexican coast as far as tho Yucatan channel, and then make a bold dash for Havana. Admiral Cervcra's movements since ho left Spain early in April have been very sly, aud ho ovidontly does not intend to take his squadren into a trap right away. Having put in at tho out-of-tho-way ports of St. Pierre and Willcmstad, it ii hardly possible that the crafty Spanish Admiral will boldly sail for Kingston. It Is more probablo that one of our scouting cruisers will sight him off tho southern coast of Cuba early this week. Tho flying squadron should ho off Cuban coast to-night. Naval olllcors put no faith in tho theory tb&t tho sqiudrou at Curacao is after the Oregon and her consorts.

The court house cor ridor was tho Mecca of many prominent Ite publlean workers to-day, and many new faces were noticed in the Commissioners olhce Rnd tho docket clerks' loom. It will be reinbin- cred that shortly after the now County Commissioners assumed ollice.thoy announced clean sweep of all employes under their urisdictiou, including those employed at tho county prison. To-day was fixed as the time for tho now appointees to assume their utlcs, and they were all on hand this morn ing. All tho old employes wero faithful and courteous, and their removal Is simply the turn of tho political wheel ot fortune or misfortune for them. John Luguu, of Maha noy City, docket clerk, is succeeded by T. T. Williams, of Shenandoah; Bob Ileiser, also of Mahanoy City, tho Controller's docket clerk, ictiros in favor of Frank Hall, of that town: Warrant Clerk Scmmit, of Crossoua, s succeeded by Druggist b.

Harry Mortimor had been in tho habit of doing. J. F. Zorhey, brother of Editor J. H. Zorbcy, s the new chief dork, while H. O. Bcchtel has been looking after the legal end for hcv- cral weoks in place of Charles L. Bcrger. Tho Commissioners also announced these changes at tho prison : Frank Moore, of Pottsvllle, as deputy warden, in placo of George Seidcrs; Harry Hill, of Schuylkill Haven, as turn-key; Simon Straub, of Ash hind, Isaac Jones aud Georgo Owens, of Pottsvllle, as prison watchmen, succeeding Charles Ileuchley and William Williams. Tho Comuiksioucrs, learning that Warden: Brower had instructed tho employes under him not to relinquish their positions nor give up tho Keys, have notified Brower of tho ap pointments mado by them, and requested him to dismiss tho men now under him on tho 10th inst. (to-day) and confirm tho new Appointees. This tho Warden refused to do. Charges, it will be remembered, were pre ferred against Warden Brower by a "private dctectivo," aud tho Commissioners have re ferred these charges, together with a recom mendation for tho nppointineut of C. D. Arters as Mr. Brower's successor, to tho Judges of tho court. Several of tho deposed clerks this morning called upon the Commissioners in reference to their removal, but most of them io luctantly handed over tho keys. It is in timated that at least two or threo of tho do posed clerks have retained counsel to test tho legality of their rcmoal. From another sourco it is learned th.at.tboy merely mado a demand fur a full month's pay. Threo of the outgoing Commissioners' clerks, Harry Bcnsinger, cf Mahanoy City; Frank Itentz, of Ashland, aud Frank Scm mit, of Cresbona, refused to accept pay for first two weeks of this month this morning. They demanded pay for a full month. This was refused aud they retained Win. A. Marr, Esq., to collect tho amounts demanded. T. J. Mullahy was appointed guardian of James, Edward aud Joseph, minor children of tho late E. F. Gallagher, of Shenandoah. Ill tho case of Justyna Szydlowski tho rule to release tho bond In tho sun of f 3,300 and have a new bond filed was discharged. C. D. Arters filed his bond as Prison Warden and asked tho court to approve it. A petitioa was filed asking tho appoint ment of William O'Brien as Assessor of Jacksons, vico Philip O'Bricu, who has gono to the war. The now appointees at tlio jail did not as sume their positions, for tho vory good reason tho old ones would not retire. It will require tho decision of tho court to straighten out this tanglo.
