tnado a record of court yesterday. Cashier

to the bank. Inasmuch as the court held
that the alley was not a public passageway ,
but yet that the plaintiffs and their tenants
had a private right of .wuy through It. The
decision , as he understood It , would give
the tank the authority to close the alley
against the public In general , but on the
other hand It would be compelled to keep
It open for the convenience of the plaintiffs
and their tenants of the property facing on
Pearl street.

JVASH'NGTONiiMay 2. At the foreign cm-
baeu'.cs and legation * Ihteosc Intcrert Is shown
In the news of ttfi decisive victory of the
American fleet at Manila. It was stated by
a high diplomatic oniclal today that another
ouch victory would uiJ ih ; caujo of Spain and
uoulil force It to ek an armistice aiU peace.
The universal belief In diplomatic ( luatteiB U
that this etroki > In the Philippines will be fol
lowed Immediately by aggrceolve action tn
Cuba. Aside from the Immediate effects of
the Manila engagement ford&u representa
tives hero eay It Is likely to precipitate an
Internal convulsion In Spain. This has been
apprehended by the European powers and has
been the chief cause of their activity , as It
thrtmU oo to bring the war to the continent
of Europe.
Odlclal advices of the Manila flght had not
been received at any of the establishments
representing the great powers of Europe up
to noon today. From the fact reported from
Madrid that Commodore Dewey hud opened
communication with the British consul at
Manila , It la expected that the news reports ,
other than thoio of a Spanish character , will
come from llrltlsh sources. It Is understood
that the British consul at Manila. Mr. Raw-
eon-Walker , hos eaumed charge of American
Intcrcats In the I'hlllppinte and' under such
circumstances he Is at present charged with
the Important duty of protecting Jic lives of
the Americans on shore at Manila and e'.ee-
whcro. It Is believed that CommodoTe
Dewey will give his first attention to looking
after these- Americans ashore. The cable
from Manila , It to learned , Is a British ncid
not a Spanish cable , and It Is believed that
Britain operators have charge of the cable
station. While ttiey would bo subject to
SpanUh censorship , yet there Is no doubt
that the British ownership would ensure a
more prompt "end unprejudiced transmission
of ofllctal and unofficial reports than If It
were not a British cable. TUo cable goes to
[ long Kong and thence by way of Aden and
Iho Red sea to Europe and London.
NOT RIPE FOR. INTERVENTION.
Leading diplomats eay no step toward
Suropcan Intervention Is likely to be hastened
ay this disaster of Spain. It Is looked upon
simply cs a war reverse which cannot be
turned Into political channels by SpanKi
appeals to the powers. This Is the view alike
in British , French and German quarters.
It was father expected from the British , but
it Is none the less apparent among French
and German officials , who regard the time
lor mediation or Intervention as past.
One of the members of the diplomatic corps
said grave fears were entertained of the
effect of the reverse at Madrid. The. gov
ernment there Is threatened on two sides ,
one the Carllsts , ne other the republicans.
The. humiliation over- the defeat naturally
will flnd expreeslo'i agalnst the Sagasta re
gime and the throne r Itself. Whether the
authorities will bq able to resist popular
Indignation Is much doubted by those con
versant with affairs it Madrid. Today's
cable advices state , tha martial law may be
proclaimed. ,
One of the aides at\achci \ to an embassy
hero said the battle at Manila disclosed the
Inadequate preparation , made by Spain and
giving good reason , fqr resentment at Ma
drid. Ho said It was now made plain that
the quiet and constant preparations carried
on by the United' States were for a gcod
purpose and had worked' vital results. He
pointed out that'.within eight days of
the Issuance , qf , ( he declaration of
war , the American' , fleet bad galled 700 mile ?
and had struck aip'c _ | ' ve blow. This , at the
'
outset of a campaign , wa * of double fhi-
portance , aa It carried enthusiasm to the
victors and brought"confusloa and demoral
ization to the ranks of the Spouted forces
In all quarters. Thl * naval attache expressed
eurprleo that the Spanish defense at Manila
had divided into two parts , first the engage
ment of the ships , and second the defense of
the city. Until the city was taken he said
the real results of the operations could not
bo determined , as Commodore Dewey's fleet
had not yet passed the danger line , la that
Us coal was reduced 'and Its ammunition
depleted by the engagement of yesterday.
He * ald * 'eo that the weaknceiv of Spain In
the Philippines doubtless was an Indication
of the came weakness In Cuba and Porto
Rico. The Spanish authorities , he pointed
out , had failed to send abundance of coal
to Cuba , Porto Rico and elsewhere , and now
their reveree > ? were a natural result of their
own Improvidence.

KEY WEST , Fla. , May 2. On Board the
Dispatch Boat Dauntless , Oft Havana , May 1.
A demonstration by the fleet off the coast
of Cuba le hardly expected today , but It li
understood a movement baa been planned.
A bowling gale le' blowing and the sea Is
running blgh. There was a long conference
en board the flagship New York yesterday
between Rear Admiral Sampson , Captain
Evans of the Iowa , Captain Taylor of the
Indiana and CaptalaChad wick of the New
York , the purpose ot uhlch could not be
ascertained.
Early yesterday morning the New York
ateamed totee westward post Havana , which
was In plain view' from , the vessel , aod
picked up the Indiana and then the Iowa ,
taking the commanders ot both ships aboard.
Tuga were then sent out , calling la all other
vessels of Ibe fleet In that vicinity , and at
noon the following ships were lying oft tbe
batteries west ot Havana and within eight
miles of the shore : Tbe nagshlp Neiy York ,
the battleships Iowa and Indiana , tbe cruisers
Detroit and Marblchead , the gunboats Caa-
tlne , Mayflower , Hornet and Mangrove , and
the tugs Oaceola , Wampatock and Tecumeeh.
There were also four newspaper dispatch
boats la close proximity , all tbe veesete
being within a radlua of 1,000 yards and
plainly visible from the shore. There wa
every Indication > that a concerted
movement ot some kind was In contempla
tion and those on the flagship , who were
ignorant of the object of the conference , con
fidently expected that the recent bombard
ment of the Spanish batteries at Matanzas
and the firing upon a troop of Spanish cav
alry at Cabanas we're to bo repeated upon
the formidable battcftlts near Havana.
The weather coftdlrtons , however , were
anything but favorable ? for an attack , for a
forty-knot gale was0 blowing and the waves
were tremendous. jiBvto the big battleships
were unsteady , thW'is'hialler vessels being
tossed about like Bh ts with every wave.
But after the ships , & > # remained In this po
sltlon tor several ( hours It became evident
that ? no Immediate /movement / was contem
plated. The flagsb'ljj'lrnally drew fay from
the others and stc ne'd slowly past Morro
castle without Incident The remainder of
the fleet then opened out and returned to tbe
various stations alqqtfhe coast.
