LONDON , May 12. An evening news
paper today publishes the following from '
a source that. Is alleged to bo authoritative :
,
"At least three of the great powers are
determined to prevent America from bring
ing , the war into European waters.
"Manila ' only escaped bombardment
through the active intervention of the Ger
man consul , acting under the direct orders
of the emperor. When the news arrived
troja Manila that Commodore Ocwcy had
been ordered totake the place the German
residents sent * a cablegram to Berlin de
manding help and protection from the double
danger of bombardment nnd the exposure
to tb plundering of the natives.
"Tho response was prompt. The German
consul was .Instructed to oppose energeti
cally all useless devastation beyond the
proper acts of war ; to oppose the debarka
tion of the Americans unless In sufficient
force to maintain order ; to protect the
lives nnd property of Germans , nnd to 'fix
the amount of damage sustained by the
Germans. Instructions were at the same
time sent to the commander ot the German
squadron at Klao Chau bay and by to
morrow four German war ships will be at
Manila. . . . *
'In Fthe * meantime three ambassadors , not
Including 'Sir Julian I'auuccfote , have made
friendly representations to Secretary Day ,
reminding him that according to the pres
ident's message the liberation of Cuba was
the solo object of the war , and that hence
tbo bombardment ot the Cuban coast towns ,
which will only add to the distress of the
natives , will bo contrary to the avowed
Rontlmrnts of the nation. In addition to
this representation was the reminder that
the rights of European residents must bo
respected. President McKInley was Im
pressed with the arguments and It was then
thift Admiral Sampson was Bordered to par
tially raise the blockade of Havana 'and
to seek to destroy the Spanish fleet. "
Dlvlile I'n ' Hnwitll.
If the United States takes possession ol
Hawaii during the present war with Spain ,
It 1 believed Europe will cudcavor to in
sist that the occupation of Hawaii was an
Incident of the war , and the continental
powers will desire to Include Hawaii in the
apportionment of territory , perhaps aa a par
tial offiict against the Philippine Islands.
In the best Informed diplomatic circles
confidence Is expressed that the UnltQ'l
States will not be permitted to acquire , such
strcnelh In the far cast as in Involved In
the occupation of the Philippine Islands and
Hawaii , without reckoning with the powers ,
Great Urttaln , an the contrary , as the As
sociated Press has the best grounds for as-
ficrtlng. desires the United States to retain
the Philippine Islands , even In preference
lo taking them Itself.

authoritatively today at the State depart
ment that there Is no truth In the London
newspaper allegation lhat three ot the Eu

sentations to the United States against an

BERLIN , May 12. The seml-offlclal Ger
man Gazottc this afternoon. In denying a
reported Interview between Emperor Wil
liam and United States Ambasador White ,
relative to the German government's attitude
' "
tude towards the United States says :
"The Americans cannot 'doubt the charac
ter ot our strict and perfectly loyal neutral
ity after the repealed official declarations. "
The North German Gazette adds ; "Let
this- also be a hint -to the English. French
'and Austrian newspapers , which are so anx-
lous to represent the government nnd pub
lic opinion of Germany as hostile to the
president nnd people of the United States.
The Imperial policy has a right to feel con
fident that Its more than a century old
friendship to n state In which millions of

Germans have found a home , will not bo
disturbed without urgent reasons. "

Into Ito magazines. The Charleston will

HONG KONG , May 12. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Her maj
esty's ship Linnet arrived here today with
Mlsvntrhes from Manila. On the day of lls
'departure ' thei city was still In the hands
.c'i SpnnUh troops , while the harbor was
( closely blockaded by the squadron under Ad-
i inlral Dowey.
! Tins American commander was receiving
.much less active assistance from the In
surgents than was at flrst hoped for. Even
If Dewey wore compelled to bombard the
city the Spaniards , It IH believed , would not
capitulate but would resist any attempt
jnt landing and It worsted would retire still
I lighting hard to the hills commanding the
! town. U Is Increasingly evident that It
Admiral Dewey Is to reap full benefit ot
his brilliant victory at Cavlto ho must bo
furnished large military reinforcements.
Manila has been deserted by a largo part
ot thn civilian population , but latterly a
good many Inhabitants have returned , cn-
icouraged by several days virtual armls-
'tlce. The position of. English residents
{ was at flrst one of considerable danger on
[ account of their supposed sympathy with
tbo Americans , but the arrival of Her Maj
esty's ship Immortallte has reassured them
aid they have not as yet suffered any se
rious molestation.
The greatest peril to Inhabitants , both nn-
tlv.j ftnd foreign , would arise from llin sol
diers ot the garrison , In the event of famine
setting In ns n result of a continued blockade -
ado , The Ame > rlean war ships are lying nt
Cavlto , seven miles by sea from Manila.
They hold possession ot the cable , but it
la not clear whether It Is In working order.
Further facts concerning the naval engage
ment ot May 1 confirm flrst Impressions of
the dogged bravery of the Spanish sailors
in splto of the hopelessness ot the struggle.
Not a fllnglo ship ot the squadron lowered
Its flag annd all thojo that were sunk went
do-.vn with colors flying.

DISASTER CASTS A SHADOW
Besult at Cardenas Dampens the Ardor of
Tboflo Urging Haste.
INVESTIGATION MAY BE CALLED FOR
In View of I'nnrntrrtttl Condition ol
Bantu RnuBKvd It In flnlil to lie
Itemnrknble that Lo of
Life Wan Not Uremttr.
WASHINGTON. May 12. The setback re
ceived by the American blockading squad-
lon In the engagement In Cardcnnu harbor
ycfilcrday , and the loss of live lives ou board
the torpedo boat Wlnslow , had a sobering
effect on the element In the navy which la
crying out for rapid action nnd efforts nt
destroying batteries with usiarmotcd ships.
There probably will be some sort of In
quiry Instituted to ascertain tha responsi
bility for sending such unprotected shells
ns the Wlnaloxv against fortified jiorts , nnd
It Is miraculous , In the opinion of too older
officers nt the department , that the damngc
and loss of Ufa were confined to the Winslow -
low , as the other boats with It were little
belter off In the matter of protection , and
scarcely any of them could resist ( .ho fire
of n small rifle. It Is likely that It such
work as was attempted at Cardenas Is to
bo done hereafter the task will bo assigned
to more formidable craft.
The people on the New England coast
have had their apprehensions aroused again
lest the Spanish appear In forca off theh
coast and proceed to destroy the summer
resorts and small craft there. Mr. Allen ,
being a Massachusetts man , had to bear tbo
brunt of a score of applications for protec
tion that came to the department iron ) all
points on the coast from Malno to Con-
rectlcut.
The department has done what It regards
ns necessary In assigning the monitors and
sonic vessels of the mosquito fleet to the
patrol of this coast , and In holding Com
modore Scbley's magnificent squadron at
Hampton Roads ready to fly at twenty-knot
speed to any point on the coast tint may be
threatened.
A dispatch cnrno today to the Navy de
partment from Admiral Dcwcy at Manila.
It was dated Hong Kong today , was evi
dently a few days old , and does not show
that Dewey has possessed'himself of Manila.
Probably he regards his original orders as
not broad enough to justify that action
without further directions , nnd as his dis
patch was sent last Monday , ho could not
have received the last orders ot the de
partment.
The nature of these orders Is Indicated by
the assignment of two such officers as Major
Generals Merrltt and Otis to command the
troops that are to be hurried to the Philip
pines as rapidly as steam will take them ,
when the quartermaster has provisioned the
ships at San Francisco.
Merrltt Is the senior major general In the
United States service after General Mile *
and In ordinary cases is entitled to the most
mportant commands , so his designation for
.his work may be taken as an evidence of
the president's estimate of the Importance
ot this expedition.
In all official quarters , the State depart
ment and diplomatic , the reports coming
from London to the effect that some of the
continental powers , particularly Germany
and Franco , have made protests against
American occupation of the Philippines , arc
net with flat denials.
There Is no doubt that * Germany , 'France
and Great Britain are .sending their war
ships to the Philippines , but this Is said to
30 a natural movement for the protection
of the citizens and property of these coun
tries , and not with any purpose of aggres
sion or ot Interrupting the plans of the
United States.
The French government has the cruiser
3rulx at Manila , the British government has
two war ships and Germany will soon have
several ships there. These are drawn from
the powerful squadron which European pow
ers maintain In Asiatic waters.
The German fleet In those waters consists
of eight ships under Admiral Hoffman , with
Prince Henry as second In command. The
Qrltlsh fleet consists of thirty-one ships .un
der Admiral Sir E. H. Seymour. The Rus
sians have twenty-two ships nnd the French
eleven ships In Asiatic waters.
With these formidable squadrons near the
Philippines , It Is not a subject ot surprise
or apprehension that some , ot these ships
should bo centered at Manila , when It is
the scat ot the greatest naval engagement
of recent years.
SPY HANGS HIMSELF IN JAIL
Had Ilren Talklnar nrnnondentlx the
Day Ilrfore Concerning III *
Approaching Trial.
WASHINGTON. May 12. George Downing
alias Rawlings , the man arrested last Sun
day under suspicion of being a spy In the
service of Spain , hanged himself at the
Washington barracks today shortly after 9
o'clock. A towel and a silk handkerchief
wcro used as the Instruments ot death.
The guard who paced back and forth through
the corridor had seen Downing a few mo
ments before sitting on his cot reading a
magazine. When ho rclurncd the alleged
spy was found hanging from a bar across
the top of his cell. The noose had been prepared -
pared with the skill of a professional hang
man , the knot being Just below his car.
When discovered life was not yet extinct
and the surgeon and steward wcro called.
Their efforts to preserve his life , however ,
wcro fruitless and Downing soon expired.
Yesterday ho gave evidence of breaking
down and after speaking of his coming trial ,
the certainty of conviction and his lack ot
friends he collapsed completely and wept.
Ho did not act In an unusual manner dur
ing the night and this morning behaved as
usual up to the tlmo of his death. The corpse
was removed to the morgue at 2 o'clock
and In the absence of relatives In this coun
try It is not known what disposition will
be made of the body. The guards In charge
of the prisoner walked the length of.iho corridor
rider every fifteen minutes and every one
near him was under Instructions to keep him
under surveillance. He watched his op-
portunlty , however , and during the few min
utes when no one was near put an end to
his life.
Downing was an Englishman by birth ,
33 years of ago and prior to coming here
had been yeoman of the Brooklyn , from
which ship he was discharged because ot
suspicion attaching to his loyalty and be
cause he could not get along with the men.
He swore to be revenged and coming to
Washington It Is said he came Into com
munication with one of the Spanish attaches ,
who hired him to furnish Senor Polo and
hla subordinates .Information. Ho fell under
tbo suspicion ot Chief Wllklc ot the secret
service , who bad him traced to Toronto ,
where U Is sold he delivered information
to a member of the former Spanish lega
tion In Washington. Later a letter addressed
to Montreal was Intercepted nnd contained
promises of further Information. Ho wai
arrested Saturday night by Chief Wllklc
and a search of his rooms revealed evidence
which those who made the arrest here ex
pressed confidence would convict him. II
was thought ho would be tried by court-mar
tial , but later It became a question whethci
or not the civil courts would not have Juris
diction and this puzzling law point was
before the attorney general for decision
MONTKKAL , May 12. It seems that not
withstanding the statement on the part o
the Spanish officials In this city that the ;
buvo no communication with people ia thcli
employ or confluence In the United States ,
there is no doujil thai the letter which was
found on the matrhownlng , recently arrested
at Washington , . ! n Spanish spy , was ad-
dre Bed to No'jm Dorchester street. Thla
number Is thaLottho new residence of the
Spanish consti general , Senor Donllla ,

Every one' of 'jho'j'eleven regiments ot In

supplemented by.prjlerB to pack everything
except the tents : J
For the flrst jjin j restrictions were today
placed on visitors to various camps. Guards
' (

The utmost activity prevailed around the
docks wl ? re the , big fleet of transports Is

stores , ammunition , rifles nnd army sup
plies of all kinds were switched on the
tracks along the edge of the wharf and

At half past 10 o'clock a brief telegram
came to the secretary of the navy. It read
as follows :
"KEY WEST , May 12. Secretary of the
Navy : In an action In Cardenas harbor
yesterday between Spanish gunboats and

Worth Uaglcy and ho was appointed to the
naval academy In September , 1801 , from the
Fourth district of North Carolina. Ho
graduated June 30 , last year , and was ap
pointed nn ensign on the day following.
While a cadet attached to the academy ho
was assigned to mnku cruises In the Texas ,
Montgomery , Indiana and the Maine. Upon
being appointed an ensign last June , ho was
assigned to duty on the Indiana , but In thn
following month was transferred to th > j
Maine. Ho served on that ship until Novem
ber 23 last , when ho was ordered to the

young officer await on expression from his
mother , but It Is believed the body will bo
sent north from Key West with a detail of
naval ofllccrs.
Lieutenant John Baptlstc Bcrnadou , who
was reported as being wounded , Is ono of
the most dashing and venturesome young
officers In the naval service. It was because
of this very quality that ho was selected for
the command of the Wlnslow. as It was
known that the service required would be of
a hazardous nature. Lieutenant Bcrnadou
Is really an expert In torpedo work. Hu
watched the building of the Wlnslow almost
from the tlmo the keel was laid to Its trial
trip as Inspector In charge , and was made
commander of It Immediately on Its accept
ance by the government. Ho was born In
November , 1858 , In Philadelphia , and was
appointed to the naval academy by President
Grant , In 1870. He was a midshipman in
1882 , and an ensign , Junior grade , In March ,
1883. In June of the following year he
received his appointment as a full ensign.
In 1892 he became a lieutenant , Junior grade ,
and attained his full lieutenancy In 1836.
The flrst dispatch given out at the Navy
department was not complete. In that It left
out reference to the condition of the
Wlnslow. Later the following additional
paragraph was posted :
"Wlnslow badly damaged. Will be sent
here as soon as temporary repairs can bo
made. The bureau of naval construction at
once took steps to learn just how far the
Wlnslow had been damaged , nnd what re
pairs they would bo called on to make. "
The surgeon general'of the navy. Dr. Van
Rolpen , has complete preparations made for
caring for the wounded from the Wlnslow.
The hospital ship Solace arrived at Key
West only Wednesday , so that Its splendid
equipment Is ready to give every care to the
wounded. Aside from the Solace the navy
*
has at Key West a temporaryhnspltal.
It Is the Intention of the department to
use the Solace mainly for the wounded , and
bring them north as fast as their condition
will permit , In order to get them out ot the
southern climate.
Just before the official dispatch came a
private dispatch received asked that Ensign
Bagley's family be notified , which was done
promptly.
The dead man has a mother living at
Raleigh , also a sister , who Is the wife of
Joscphua Daniels , the editor of the News
and Observer of Raleigh. Another sister
lives In Washington. Thn dead ensign was
about 25 years ot age , and made a great
record as a foot ball player while nt Annapo
lis , being Us star player during two or three
seasons.
John Varveres , oiler , was a native of
Smyrna , Asia , but a naturalized citizen of
the United Steles. Ho had been In the navy

Late tonight the Navy department re
ceived additional official advices concerning
the battle of Cardenas , which took place
yesterday. Practically only two. now points
arc developed la the official advices , the ono
being tha't the Machlas , Commander Merry ,
was a spectator. If not an actual participant
In the battle ; and the other , that the con
flict lasted from 1:40 : p. m. until 3 p. m. ,
when the vessels retired to their outer
ancljorage.
The report of the fight raado to the Navy
department Is from Commander Merry , the
senior officer. He Incloses skeleton reports
from Commander Todd of the Wilmington
and Lieutenant Dernadou , commander of the
Wlnslow.
The reports speak In high terms ot the
management ot the rensels nnd the conduct
of the men , Commander Todd referring par
ticularly to the handling ot the Wlnslow In
the hot fire as "highly meritorious. "
Rldillrrt br Knrmr' * Klrr.
Lieutenant Bernadou'a report Indicate *
that the Wlnslow was riddled by the enemy's
fire , but ho believes that It can bo so re
paired ns again to render It efficient ,
Appended Is the text ot the dispatch re
ceived by the department from Commander
Merry. The dispatch written yesterday Is
dated at Key West today , nnd was received
at the department nt 9:40 : tonight !
The arrival of the Wilmington nnd the
Wlnslow oft Cardenas this morning Induced
mo to confer with Commander Todd of the
Wilmington on the subject of attacking nnd
cutting out three smalt gunboats In the har
bor.
bor.The Machlas , Wilmington , Hudson and
Wlnslow proceeded In ns far as the ob
structions would allow. The Machlas took
n position 2,100 yards northeast of Diana
bay. The Wilmington , Hudson nnd Winslow -
low entered the Inner liarbor between llo-
mcro and Blanco bays , where there were
no mines and wore soon steaming Into
Cardenas bay.
At 1:40 : p. m. fire opened from these ves
sels * nnd continued until 3 p. m. , when they
started to return to the outer anchorage. I
enclose reports of Todd and Bcrnadou.
Commander Todd reports :
U was Impossible for the Wilmington to
approach nearer than 2,000 yards. Tht
Spanish gunboats could not bo seen trim
this distance nnd the Wlnslnw was dlrectei
to go nearer to Hec If It could determine
where they wcro lying. It had gene only
700 yards Inside the Wilmington when I
was llrcd upon from n gunboat. The Wil
mington and Wlnslow returned thu fire
After n rapid exchange ot shots for lifted
or twenty minutes , In which a shore batter )
Is supposed to have engaged , It became evi
dent that the Wlnslow could not steer.
ouIs I > ltiltl.Ml.
At this tlmo the Hudson came up ant
opened fire nnd the Wlnslow asked to be
towed out , as It was disabled.
The torpedo boat seemed to bo the only
target nt which the enemy fired. H was
struck several times. One engine was dls
ablcd , the steering gear shot uway and one
boiler was disabled. Its commanding offi
cer was wounded , but not seriously. Knslgt
Bagloy was fatally wounded nnd died be
fore he could bo brought on board the Wil
mington. John Vnrvcres , oiler , and John
Denfee , first class firemen , were killed on
board the Wlnslow. Two other men were
fatally wounded , one of them J. V. Meek
first class fireman , died In n boat whllo be
ing transferred to his ship. The other
Joslnli Tunnell , ship's cook , first class , diet
after being brought on board the Wilming
ton. He was struck twice. No casualties
except on the Wlnslow.
The handling of the Wlnslow In the hot
fire was highly meritorious. The com
manding officer of the Wlnslow desires
through mo to commend to the department
the general conduct of his crew , especially
that of Chief Gunner's Mate Brady.
Lieutenant Bcrnadou of the Wlnslow re
ports :
I was directed by Commander Todd to
approach a small steamer along the wharf
at the eastern end of the town and examine
Its character. We steamed toward
Meal at full speed. On approaching within
1.500 yards a gunboat nnd n battery on
shore opened fire. The Wlnslow returned
and maintained the fire until the end of tbo
action. It was riddled by shells of calibre
two and one-half Inches to three
Inches. It was finally towed out
of range by the revenue cutter
Hudson. Casualties as reported this morn-
Ing. I deslro to express my thanks to Lieu
tenant Newcomb , commanding officer of
the Hudson , when , being under heavy fire ,
ho towed this vessel out ot action. My
opinion Is the Wlnslow can be repaired seas
as to render It again efficient. Full report
mailed.
Lieutenant Dernadou Is one of the very
few men who have , rcce.lvcd the thanks of
the secretary of the navy for .gallant con
duct and good judgment. Ho started with
the" Wlnslow from Newport last February
to join the squadron at Key West. Ho had
scarcely disappeared from sight when one
of the most terrible gales experienced for
years swept over the Atlantic coast.
The torpedo boats are not good sea boats
nnd the Wlnslow was just out of the build
er's hands and had not been thoroughly
tested. The Navy department was In the
greatest apprehension for Its safety , when It
turned up at Delaware breakwater.
In the height of the gale , when the ablest
seamanship was required to keep the little
torpedo boat above the water , Lieutenant
Bcrnadou had discovered two poor fellows
adrift on one of the big scows blown away
from New York without food or water.
Regardless of the great risk to himself and
his little craft , by adroit handling of the
boat , ho managed to rescue the men and
bring them to the breakwater. Ensign Bag-
ley was with him on the trip and assisted
In the rescue , which earned the commander
a letter of thanks from the secretary of the
navy.
ANNAPOLIS , Md. , May 12. Ensign Worth

Ho was a bright and capable man. His

the position of the ministry Is critical. Dis

moment.
Besides the economic reforms the marquis

Intention to restrict the liberty of the press

Methods of Treating Her

A MODim.V WAY IS ll.YIMDLY II
AllOl'TUU.
Mut'n attention IH being1 plven a
new remedy for woman called llaz-
zellno. , which Is nppllcd locally as
opposed to the old nnd fruitless
In ( iiifstlon Is placed In Immediate contact
with the diseased parts and produces almost
Immediate results. The Idea Is not new ,
of course , but there lias never heretofore
been found n medicine which would satis
factorily stop all pain and remavo conges
tion or obstructions causing pain during a
woman's monthly sickness. lla/.ellno U r *
therefore a most welcome find marvelous \
bli-'wIiiK to womankind since It cures thosa
diMrcettlnff ailments of womb displacement ,
leucorrhopa , neuralgia nnd greatly Improves
tlio complexion and thn figure.
Nearly all women using Huzellno have re
ferred to the remarkably short time In which
all symptoms of sickness nnd puln and hcud.
iiche disappear ; thfy * also snvnk of the fact
that It sterns to make no difference how lonif
a woman lias suffered HazcJne Is effective
in every Instance. It IH a matter ot congratu
lation that the proprietors of the remedy
have taken steps to see that fne leading
druggists In Oinahn. at 12t South 13th street ,
1513 Dodge street ; and 152,1 Farnnm street ,
arc supplied with Hazellne but women who
limy dislike to rail and uslt for It may get
It direct prepaid by sending one dollar to tha
Ilnzellne Co. , South Uend , Ind.
It would be advisable , 'nowever , to flrst try
the druggist nnd be. sure the remedy asked
for nnd obtained Is Hazcllne. This firm Issua
a very valuable little book to women which
Is very convincing and explains fully Just
why Hazellnu cures all female diseases. It
Is mulled free to all.
