MANILLA MORE TRANQUIL.
People Will Walt to See if Spanish Oc-
cupation is Over.
New York May 14.—A dispatch to
the Herald from Manilla via Hong
Kong says: The American victory
at Cavite and the complete collapse
of the Spanish navy have struck terror
to Manilla.
The blockade continues but the pub-
lic is calm. It thinks that the Euro-
pean powers have intervened to pre-
vent the bombardment of Manilla. The
country is quiet. The natives will not
actively or openly favor the Ameri-
cans unless assured the Spanish rule
is forever over for fear of reprisals.
The desire to break the Spanish rule
is general throughout the country and
the American invasion is popular as
a means to gaining this end.
But the native mind is only influ-
enced by an exhibition of strength.
They think the 'blockade is weak and
that this is due to foreign intereven-
tion.
Manilla can draw supplies from the
interior and hold out for months.
The troops at Manilla consist of about
10000 regulars and fifteen thousand
volunteers. The volunteers have no
instruction and their fire is wild and
dangerous to the troops. The artil-
lery has no machine guns.
Public opinion which first favored
Admiral Montejo has now changed.
The Spaniards freely criticise his de-
fense of Cavite. They say the Amer-
icans came within range of his guns
and that his artillery was good enough
to do great damage to the American
fleet if well handled.
The captain general ordered Admir-
al Montejo to anchor his fleet off Ma-
nilla and unite the strength of his
fleet to the batteries. Montejo replied
that his place was to defend the ar-
senal of Cavite.
The defense of Manilla without- a
fleet was impossible.

IDAHO FOR MANILLA.
Boise Idaho May 14.—Two more
companies of the Idaho volunteers
have been mustered in. This leaves
but one company to muster. It will
be mustered today and troops will then
be ready to move. A dispatch receiv-
ed from Senator Shoup states that
they will be furnished their uniforms
and equipment at San Francisco.
LOTI DELIVER'S HIMSELF.
He is Sure Europe Will Not Tolerate
Great Britain in the Philippines.
New York. May 14.—A dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says: Pierre
Loti who has just returned from
Spain speaking of the result of the
present war said: "You ask whether
this war will have any effect on the
commercial and general interests of
this part of France. Undoubtedly.but I
do not go so far as to say it will
have a ruinous effect. For the last
two years the rate of exchange be-
tween France and Spain has beeen
enormous. It has been for some time
hovering between forty and fifty per
cent and now just look at it 114 and
over that. It is horrible and sad
when you think of it. 'Such ruinous
depreciation Is diaster which pene-
trtrtes far and wide not only in Spain
but in France. In the counting hous-
es of Europe and in the family cir-
cle it means deprivations of pleasures
as well as reduced material comfort.
It spells poverty for a great many and
forced economy for all to a greater or
lesser degree in 'Europe.
"You ask if I think it likely there
will be an alliance between England
and America. I certainly think it
most Ikely but I do not for one mo-
ment believe (Europe will tolerate any
participation on the part of England
in the -fruits of America’s victories in
the Philippines. That would be a
monstrous thing and the powers would
stamp any advance of England in that
regard as a menace to (Europe and
as a recognition of the principle of
force and of an aggression fraught
with danger as a precedent which
must be nipped in the bud as the thin
end of a wedge of a dangerous policy
against which the Latin race will op-
pose their stuborn resistance in the in-
terests of self preservation and in the
promotion of continental harmony
and concert.”

NEW PACIFIC STEAMSHIP LINE.
Los Angeles. Cal.. May 14. —A num-
ber of local capitalists and men inter-
ested in the transportation lines in
Southern California are forming a
company to put a line of steamers be-
tween San Pedro and Hong
Kong to touch at Honolulu
and Manilla. the probability of
of Hawaii and the Philippine is-
lands becoming United States posses-
sions having stimulated them to the
venture. 'Hon. Abbott Kinney a cap-
italist of this city is one of the lead-
ers of the company.
PHILIPPINES NOT AIDED.
Spain Has no Warships to Carry on
Expedition.
New YorkMay 14.—A dispatch to the
World from Cadiz dated Thursday
night says: The Spanish naval au-
thorities are devoutly praying that
Admiral Cervera’s squadron (the Cape
Verde fleet) will avoid a fight with the
superior force under Admiral Samp-
son.
They lament because those four first
class armored cruisers (Almirante
Oquendo Vizcaya Infanta Maria Te-
resa and Cristobal Colon) and three
torpedo boat destroyers ( Furor. Teror
and Pluton) were not ordered to join
the reserve fleet at Cadiz if the gov-
ernment hesitated in sending them to
make a dash for some North Ameri-
can ports and then wheel back to
Spain thus paralyzing the American
offensive operations about Cuba and
Porto Rico.
The reserve fleet at Cadiz is being
slowly prepared for service. Admiral
Camara has assumed command with
Capt. Hediger as his major general as
the 'Spanish style him—an active of-
ficer who has shaken up all the old
officials in the San Fernando arsenal.
The tough Admiral Churruca. also
lately appointed to a local command
has told Capt. Hediger and Admiral
Camara that it is useless to try to
make them hurry up.
Marines and sailors have been as-
sembling in greater numbers than
wanted for the vessel ready.
From political motives and in order
to make it appear to the people that
the government is preparing to take
revenge for the Manilla defeat the
Madrid authorities have asked the na-
val officials at Cadiz what vesels of
war can be made ready to protect
transports carrying six thousand men
to Manilla.
Gen. Correa the war minister got
sever. battalions and four batteries
ready all armed equipped and offic-
ered and large steamship companies
undertook to provide the eight ships
required. But the naval officers re-
port that it will be impossible to get
warships ready quickly.
They say the battleship Pelayo is
not fit for an expedition to the far
east and besides that she was needed
in the reserve squadron at home.
For the same reason they objected to
parting with the Emperor Carlos V..
Cardinal Cisneros and Alfonso XIII.
first rate cruisers.
Moreover they do not think the sec-
ond and third class cruisers herewhich
are available—three in all —would be
enough to protect the expedition from
the forces Admiral Dewey will have
at his disposal by the time the Span-
ish reinforcements could reach Manilla.
The torpedo boat destroyers—three
here at Cadiz and two at Ferrol—they
want to keep for the defense of of the
coasts together with the torpedo ves-
sels and the old iron clads Numancia
and Victoria lately repaired and re-
tfiited in French arsenals at great cost.
Unless the popular outcry overcomes
the professional and competent objec-
tionthe government will have to aban-
don the idea of sending a tardy relief
expedition to the Philippines.
PRINCE ALBERT OUT WEST.
Butte. 'Mon.. May 14.—Albert crown
prince of Belgium accompanied by a
small retinue arrived in this city last
night over the Great Northern rail-
way from Seattle. The party is In
charge of Sam Hill son-in-law of the
president of the road. James J. Hill.
REPORTS FROM HAVANA BLOCK-
ADE.
New York. May 14. —A dispatch to
the Herald from Nassau says: Ad-
vices from Havana say two schooners
have been successful in running the
blockade. A French steamer was al-
lowed to enter the harbor to receive
refugees. The foreign consuls in Ha-
vana met and protested that block-
ade was held void by that act.
THE SPANISH SPY!
Key West May 14. —A rumor was
started last night to the effect that a
Spanish spy was shot at the fort. In-
vestigation revealed the fact that a
colored boy had chased a runaway
mule into the garrison grounds and
was challenged by a sentry. The boy-
failed to answer and was shot. He
will probably die.

A MAN WHO IS TIRED
All the time owing to impoverished
blood should take Hood's Sarsaparilla
to purify and enrich his blood and give
him vitality and vigor.
This condition of weakness and lack
of energy is a natural consequence of
the coming of warmer weather which
finds the system debilitated and th'
blood impure.
A good spring medicine is a necessity
with almost everyone. Hood’s Sarsa-
parilla is what the millions take in the
spring. Its great power to purify and
enrich the blood and build up health is
one of the facts of common experience.
