COOIIED AS FRIENDLY By the Spaniards Correspondent I Talks With a Representative of Business Interests on the Philippines. Vancouver. July 20.—According to ad vic* « brought by the "Empress of India” from Hong Kong the chief news of mo ment i tli,it Manila is ready to surrender. Not that tlie archbishop and captain g, tn tai are going voluntarily to capitulate before Huy are compelled to do so, but tiic backbone of resistance is unquestion ably broki n and upon a real show of force and an intention to Ironibard the town If the officials do not give in the Spaniards will haul down the Spanish flag. Intimations to this effect have been • received from many sources A corre spondent at Hong Kong of the Associated I'lm writing under date of June 23 says the chi, f subject of di.-eussion in Manila, Cavite and in the American fleet is the 1 rm aning of the presence of five German men of war and on, transport or supply vessel in port. "I have Just Interviewed a leading En glishman here on the subject. He unhesi tatingly informed me that till the foreign ers regard it as a remarkable demonstra tion. "‘I am sure,' he continued, ‘that the Spaniards have received encouragement from siii'h a naval display. A Spaniard told me that the coming of a large Ger man garrison was construed by him and the leading Spanish officials as a direct act of friendly Interest and warning tow ards the Yankees that they could not go too far.' Now when lhe demonstration in fluences this man to talk like that I think It is high time to ascertain what the Ger mans mean by appearing here in such force. "'I am familiar.' the informant contin ued. 'with all German interests in Manila, and my relations with the Germans are agreeable and I am positive that one German cruiser would bo fully able to pro etet them to < very extent required ' ” Further details of lhe great light on May I filter through some high official as time passes. It appears that according to authenict information in the bands of Consul Wil liams that out of 491 men on the Reina Christiana 361 were killed and only 127 left the ship An officer who was aboard and is now in prison tells me that one could not step a foot in any direction on her decks without coming in contact with pieces of flesh and dead bodies, such was the power of American guns and the skill of the American gunners.

Baltimore, July 20—Preparations are be ing made for the resumption of the trade between Baltimore and Santiago. It is the expectation that this .business will be in full blast again inside of a month. It is believed that if the people are now permitted to return to their work it will do more toward relieving the suffering Cubans than any other move. A general resumption of work on the plantations, railroads and mines would simplify the problem of taking care of the territory now under the American flag. Three of four cargoes of the Santiago ore came to Baltimore every week. Some of it was sent ‘to Pittsburg. On the re turn the vessels carried out bacon, lard, flour and coal It is confidently believed now all this large trade will be resumed.

July 20. — A letter from a san man on the battleship lowa, received here today, tells of a ludicrous occurrence at a tragic moment during the naval battle off Santiago on July 3.

The shock had set the crew of the lowa gasplug, and had even thrown some of the m< n to the deck, while a thick smoke obscured the crew'. When the smoke drifted away the Viz caya was seen headed for shore, and from her gaff, where a Spanish ensign had been, floated a pair of white duck trousers. It was probably the only article handy that could be quickly gotten ready.

The United States Will Have to Maintain One for a Long Time. New York. July 20—The press today portrays Presndent McKinley’s keen dis appointment over the military ineffective ness of the Cubans and his great anxiety for the future of the island. The presi dent is quotted as saying to a Western sen ator: "Liberty has for centuries been the dream of the Latin race. The trouble, however, with the Latins is that they con strue liberty ito mean license. They insti tute republics. ini' as soon as they are made to feel the restraint that is a part of all well-organized government they con spire to overthrow that government. I predict that this country will, for a long time to come, be compelled to keep a standing army in Cuba ifor obvious rea sons.

The passengers consisted of foreign naval and army offi cers, members of the Red Cross society and a number of newspaper correspond ents. The foreign army and naval officers on board gave their quarters to the sick and took pot luck with the convalescents. The steamer between decks was filthy and not fit for human beings to occupy. The bunks were built of rough boards and looked like cattle pens. The ice gave out first and then the fires'll water became vile and unfit for use. The washing of the wounds in many cases was done with salt water and food was scarce. The passengers say that if yellow fever had appeared on the voyage home the mortality would have been fearful. The Seneca brought the bow chaser or bow gun of the Vizcaya, which was put on board before sailing. BIG FIGHT. Winner Will Have Trouble—M'Coy and Cor bett Will Likely Make a Draw, New York, July 20.—Peter Maher has left 'New York for a few weeks in the mountains, Corbett, McCoy and Fitz are all at their summer villas, leaving Shar key and Jeffries to hold the fort in Go ham and issue their daily challenges to the world. There won’t be much room for talk, however, until after the Corbett-Mc- Coy affair in Buffalo, on September 10, and the winner of this will have about five or six men to handle right off the reel. The match should be the most clever one ever fought in this or any other coun try, and it is doubtful whether at the end of 20 rounds either man will have a mark to show for the engagement. Both men are fast, cautious, scientific to a degreee, and of about equal strength, with the bal ance perhaps in favor of McCoy. There is one other point in the youngster’s favor — he has never been known to lose his tem per, and if Corbett should take his bal loon route, as he did In his fight with Mit chell, his chances would not be worth much, RIOTING AT PORTO RICO.
