Reports, Although Apparently Au- thentic, Are Discredited at Washi ngton. Special cable to The Call and New York Herald, Copyrighted, 183, by James Gordon Bennett. ALGIERS, June 23.—The steamer Hampton reports that she passed the Spanish fleet yes- terday bound east. It was pro- ceeding at half speed and show- |ing no colors. The cruisers were towing the torpedo boats. The fleet consists of five or six cruis- ers and but twelve transports of troops. SEEN OFF SICILY. PALERMO, June 23.—The Giornale di Sicilia publishes a dispatch from the Island of Pan- tellaria, southwest of Sicily, an- nouncing that Admiral Camara’s squadron, consisting of seven warships, including three torpedo boats, and convoying five trans- ports, passed there on Tuesday, June 21, going in the direction of Suez. DISCREDITED AT WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, June 23.— The cablegram from Palermo, Ttaly, stating Admiral Camara’s squadron was sighted to-day bound for Suez canal, is not cred- ited in official circles here, for the Navy Department to-day re- ceived reliable information that this so-called reserve squadron would be kept in home waters to defend Spain’s coast cities. ADMITTED BY SAGASTA LONDON, June 24.—A dis- patch from Madrid says that Sa- gasta informed the Chamber yes- terday that Camara’s squadron is now on the way to the Philip- pines. _———— DEWEY IS IN NO DANGER NEW YORK, June 23.—The Herald's ‘Washington correspondent telegraphs: Should it prove true that Camara's squadron is really proceeding to the Philippines it can be stated authorita- tively the formation of a flying squad- ron will take place at once and will be sent to Spanish home waters with all possible dispatch. This action will be necessary in order to compel Spain to recall her fleet. Even should it fail to accomplish its object the officials say that a demonstration on the Span- ish coast would have a great effect on the people of Spain and be conducive to peace. No anxiety is felt concern- ing the safety of Admiral Dewey. The Monterey and Charleston will reach Manila several days.before Ca- mara’s squadron can arrive at that point. Manila will be in the possession of the American troops, the harbor will be mined and the fortifications be well manned by expert American artillery- men. There is no fear expressed as to the outcome of a battle between Rear Admiral Dewey’'s and Admiral Ca- mara’s squadrons. INCREASING HER FORCE England Sends More Ships to Manila. INTERFERENCE SCOFFED AT BY OUR AUTHORITIES. WASHINGTON, June 23. — To- dispatches announce that ain’s three warships in Ma- nila harbor will be augmented by two more from the Asiatic station. This creates the impression that Germany may really intend to interfere. But officers of the administration place no credence in the report that Germany has landed a naval force at Manila. The report is believed to be inspired by Spanish allies for the purpose of precipitating trouble between the United States and Germany. Secretary Day is confident that Ger- many has no ulterior motive in its na- val movements at Manila and that Admiral Dewey will execute his in- structions without having any compli- catfons with Germany or any other foreign power.’ A member of the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee said to-day: “I am very sure that the story is not true, and I am equally positive that if Ger- many or any other country is landing troops or in any other way attempting to interfere with the American occu- pation of the Philippines she is making a grave mistake for herself. “It is unquestionably proper under ordinary circumstances for neutral | governments to land marines in the | territory of belligerents where its own citizens may be in danger. America has done so frequently. On many oc- casions in Central and South America, when rebellions and interstate wars were in progress, we have landed ma- rines to protect our citizens. Ameri- can marines were landed, too, at Al- exandria during the British bombard- The practice has become al- most a custom with this country. “The situation in Manila is different in every essential particular. The land- ing of troops by any European nation at Manila at this time would have sig- nificance beyond that of the act itself. “Even were it done simply to pro- tect neutrals there must be a sugges- tion of intention to intervene. “In addition to this there is no neces- sity for the move. The United States forces at Manila are capable, abun- dantly, of protecting all neutral citi- zens and property. The insurgents have shown no disposition to break the rules of civilized warfare or commit ex- s. cefi’?‘ifie United States would resent any such move. There would be active re- | sentment by force of arms if any such landing were in the least to assume the aspect of interference.” LONDON, June 2i.—The Washing- ton correspondent of the Daily Chron- icle says: “Dr. von Holleben, the German Em- bassador to the United States, has ar- ranged for the landing of German ma- rines at Manila to protect the German consulate, if necessary, with American permission.” —_—e————— Read what Russell Sage has to say on “War as an Investment,” in next Sunday’s Call VASS MEETING AT SAN oS Strong Protest of High School Students. RESOLUTIONS REQUESTING HIS REINSTATEMENT. SAN JOSE, June 23.—A mass-meeting at Turn Verein Hall this evening under the auspices of the students of the High School, to protest against the dis- missal of Professor Leigh R. Smith, as vice-principal of that school, filled the place with one of the most select au- diences ever assembled in the city. Many people were unable to gain ad- mittance. Upon the stage were seated a num- ber of prominent business men. Henry French was made chairman, and spoke a few words of praise for our public schools. He stated the purpose of the meeting. Rev. N. H. Haskell of the Unitarian church made some plain statements about remedying our public school sys- tem, and denounced the dismissal of Professor Smith. His remarks were followed by applause and cheering, during which the students gave a high school yell. Professor Miller of Stanford Univer- sity spoke in behalf of Professor Smith. He stated that Professor Smith’s work was accredited at Stanford, and that his students were the only ones that were accepted on recommendation. He said San Jose High School students led all others in Latin, and pupils from this school were always at the head of the class. He said Professor Smith was considered one of the best Latin teach- ers on the coast. He was glad the | students were making this move to se- cure the reinstatement of their teacher, Attorney 8. G. Tompkins followed and indorsed the uprising in favor of Professor Smith. F. M. Keesling of the High School alumni said Professor Smith’s removal was to make room for a certain young lady with a political pull, who was about (o graduate at the Normal School. The following resolutions were adopt- ed by a «tarding vote, every one rising but the faculty of the High Scho:l: ‘Whereas, At a recent meeting of the Board of Education of the city of San Jose, sald board did, without just and sufficient cause, retire from the faculty of the High School Professor L. 3 Smith, one of the most competent and useful teachers in our -public schools; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, taxpayers, voters, fathers and mothers, who have our sons anu daughters in the High School, in mass-meeting assembled, do declare our most earnest and solemn protest against the action of said Board of Education, belleving it to be unwarranted, unjust and unwise and against tue best inter- ests and success of the High School. We therefore request said Boaru of .duca- tion to reinstate Professor Smith to the position from which they retired him. After the meeting about 300 students marched in a body to Professor Smith's residerce and serenaded him. Several speeches were made by the students and great enthusiasm prevailed, KING ALFONSO CONFIRMED. Witnessed by Royal Family, Digni- taries, Ministers and Grandees.

HARVEY AND HARRISON ARE NOT MOLESTED. Specfal Dispatch to The Call. SAUSALITO, June 23.—Simultane- ously with the opening of Harrison’s and Harvey's poolrooms to-day the es- tablishment of Broyer, Glynn, Hum- phrey et al. threw open its doors for business in accordance with their reg- ular campaign plan. In about fifteen minutes Marshal Hannon and his squad of deputies swooped down upon the rival gambling den. Five arrests were made, namely: W. J. Barnett, Ray Falk, James Smith, W. Humphrey and John Schulz. They were taken before Recorder Simpton and released on their own recognizance. Deputy Marshal Johnson was placed In the doorway of the raided rooms and given four deputies to assist him in preventing a crowd from congregat- ing inside. Gamesters were permitted to enter in single file all day long, each man being warned as he entered that he was liable to arrest. The attorneys of the rival factions tried to induce Justice Bellrude to is- sue warrants for the arrest of Harri- son and Harvey, on the ground that they were violating an unrepealed or- dinance preventing the selling of pools on races. The Justice refused to issue the warrants on the ground that he had no jurisdiction in the matter. Then an appeal was made to Recorder Simp- ton, who also entered a refusal and backed his position up by reference to a decision rendered by the Supreme Court. To-morrow all the cases of those ar- rested will come up to have a date set for trial. The rival pool men have threatened to bring a crowd of “heelers” to town to see that their doors are kept cleared, so the officials assert. The latter state that any such action will result in a “hot time” for Sausalito. The excite- ment is at fever heat and any kind of a move would not be unexpected. RAILROAD FARES REDUCED. The Southern Pacific announced yes- terday its intention to reduce the pas- senger rate to Los Angeles. Instead of a charge of $15 for a ticket from San Francisco to Los Angeles the fare will be $13 35 after July 1. This reduction ap- plies only to limited tickets with no stop- over privileges. The six months’ tick- ets will not be reduced. The Valley road has been instrumental in forcing the Southern Pacific to make this reduction. In order to meet the rate set by the Valley road to Bakersfield the Southern Pacific was forced to re- duce the fare from San Francisco to Ba- kersfield from $910 to $6 9. The fare from Bakersfield to Los Angeles on the Southern Pacific line is $6 45, thus mak- ing the complete fare to T.os Angeles $13 35, $1 65 less than a through ticket to Los Angeles. The fares will in future be the same. —_——— - To Combat Civil Service.
