Loudon, April 29.—The depart ure of the Spanish fleet from the Oape Verde islands is regarded as the first really important news of he war. No further information ias been received here as toils des tination, but it is considered not unlikely that it will go to the Canary Islands to await reinforce ments from Cadiz, without which it is considered a hopeless task to attempt to attack Rear Admiral Sampson’s fleet. It is also sup posed that it may attempt to in tercept the American cruiser Ore gon. The idea that it will attempt to bombard the United States coast cities is not seriously regarded here.

London, Apiil 30.—The Vienna correspondent of the standard says: "That Russia should allow the United States to retain the Philippines without ample com pensation to Russia and her allies, appears as doubtful as that the islands should be allowed to fall into the hands of England by ar rangement with the United States without snch difficulties arising as might easily lead to war among the great Powers.” WHAT BISMARCK BAYS. London, April 30.—The Berlin Correspondent of the Standard says: "Prince Bismarck think? Germany must abstain from inter ference in the conflict of the United States with Spam, as long as pos sible, but that she must interfere instantly and most energetically, the moment her interests demand interference.
