England Will Not Brook Inter- ference Till it Is All Over. London, May 9.—Now that Dewey has been heard f additional inter- est is taken in the internal affairs of Spain. Many believe that the war will be brought to an end within a few weeks, but they do not think _ Spaia can bow to the inevitable with- out sacrificing the government and dynasty. Many stories are afloat as to the attitude of the powers when the crisis reaches the stage which will demand interference to preserve in- tact the concert of Europe. The Arena claims that the powers had concluded to intervene after the iret battle, but that the scheme was epoiled by the refusal of Russia to agree at the iast moment, Austria al- @o holding out against the plan. Both these countries desired that 1p case of revolution in Spain troops should be sent to quell the disturban- es, These stories have been in cir culation all the week, and particular- ly ta Downing street. England has refused to take any part in the proposed program, and is alleged to have been asked to join in naval demonstration off the West Indies to impress people with the dea that other powers are interested in ‘the pending conflict. It is reported ‘that the proposed demonstration was weally to menace the United States Great Britain at once emphatically protested against any such move- ment after it had veen denounced by Goachen, at « meeting of the cabinet Eogland will not interfere during the progress of the conflict, but when terms of peace are to be settled she may have something to say, although it is stated she will manifest no oppo- sition to the retention of the Philip- pines by the United States. There is a report to the effect that Ambassador Hay has received official assurance to that effec! WHY DEWEY CUT THE CABLE. Washington, DP. C., May 9,—The jgrentest surprise was expressed in naval circles over the lack of details in the Dewey report. Everybody ywas anxious to know the exact situa- Mion of the American squadron, A \reporter was told by an officer who (aw the dispatches that Dewey want- jed more men. This officer said that Dewey was evidently anchored in mila bay with bis squadron, holding town of Manila from the water jand in practical centrol of the situa- ‘tion, but was deterred considerably lin making his victory complete by his lack of men to send ashore. Another omission from the account given out officially as the text of Com- modore Dewey's report relates to the hic cable. There is good ‘authority for the statement that the ble was cut by Dewey. Aun officer high standing said that the Ameri- jcan commander had done so. ‘The reason that will probably be nm by Commodore Dewey for sev- communication with Manila is at he wanted to kip the enemy sending and receiving advices ‘and from Madrid, Old naval offi- say, however, that the cavle was aropably cut by Dewey to keep the wy department from telling him hat to do until he had finished his ork at Manila, For nice dry sawdust tel. 29, tf Connisseur's delight—Linawood Cigar. tt A TRUE TONIC A tonic to assist nature is not one that simply gives tempo- rary stimulation, but one that commends itself by the effects.

Sold by the outcome of that battle. So it is with Dewey, He not only had the guns, but they bad the modern strength and destructiveness, while the Spanish guns were antiquated and guns only in name, It serves to show that in the warfare of today a nation must have weapons of the most modern pattern,else it is at a terrible disadvantage and its men are left practically at the mercy of an enemy having all the latest appliances ef de- structive warfare.

Washington, May 9—At the em- bassies and legations, Commodore Dewey's reports were read with great interest, and served to renew the high tributes of the fereign authorities to gallant American commander, The remarkable disparity between the casualties on the American and Span- ish ships, as shown by the Dewey re- ports, was a source of special com- ment, and the military attache at one of the embassies, said such a dispar- ity probably was without a parallel in history. How the Spaniards could have lost 150 killed and 250 wounded, while the American loss was confined to a few men slightly inj red, is regarded by the foreign observers as clearly disclosing the utter worthlessness of Spanish arms, The ambassador of} — cruiser Montgomery is supposed to have been the Spanish warship Viz- caya and it is suggested that possibly the Montgomery enticed the Span- iard within striking distance of Ad- The crew of the German ship Bolivia, Capt.
