Troops May Embark in a Few Days
-Cubans EnIisting.

TAMPA, Fla, May 3.-It is now almost
certain hat Brig. Gen. j. f. Wade will
have active command of the United States
troops in the field in Cuba. Both Generals
Wade and Shafter will, it is said, accom-
pany the expedition when it sails, but the
latter, although having command, with
headquarters, as he is ranking general, will
not direct the movement of the troops in the
field. Arrangements for the embarkation of
the troops are being pushed with the ut
most vigor. 1t is barely possible that the
United States forces will be actually en-
route for Cuba before the first of next week.
But four of the necessary transports are as
yet on hand, and it will probably be Sunday
before all of the boats are here and have
received their coal and other supplies.
The enlistment of Cubans for the regi-
ments which are being formed here is as
Stunning large proportions. To-day there
were over five hundred applications for
service, most of which will be accepted,
and work in several of the big tobacco fac
tories was practically at a Standstill. Be-
leans are e~nlisting for service under Gomez.
The companies of Cubans already formed
here with those that arrived last night have
gone into camp in West Tampa and are
being rapidly armed and uniformed. Their

ADMIRAL wALKER's VIEWS.
Thinks Spain VIII Attempt Something
Desperate-Prafse for Dewey.


WASHINGTON, May 3.-Rear Admiral
John G.. Walker. retired, president of the
Nicaragua Canal Commission, is very en-
thusiastic over the magnificent victory
achieved by United States naval forces UNI
der Commodore Dewey at Manila, and says
it was what .aight have been expected from
the character of the officers and men COM
posing the expedition. Dewey" said Ad-
miral Walker, lis an unusually good man,
both as a tighter and as a strategist. He
served with distinction in the navy during
the war of the rebellion and saw consider
able hard fighting. He did that affair at
Manila in a thorough business-like way and
is entitled to high praise for the skillful
manner in which he Unanswered his fleet.

ne set out to do in a thorough. business
like way without fuss or feathers: Although
l nave not heard anything official on that
point, l am satisfied in my own mind that
he has already taken possession Of the port
OF Manila and established the supremacy
of the United States in the Philippines.
What interests American naval officers
most just at present is the whereabouts of
the powerful Spanish fleet which recently
left the Cape Verde islands. Although they
may. be destined for Cuba or Porto 1t
would not surprise me if their real purpose
was to go. further south and attempt to
intercept the battle ship Oregon Il the
gun boat Marietta, which were last reported
at Rio do Janeiro bound for the United
States. In case of such a meeting it might
possibly go hard with the American vessel,
because Of the numerical superiority of the
Spaniards. Their fleet consists of four first
class armored cruisers which are practically
battle ships and three torpedo boat destroy
ers. Although the Oregon and the Marietta
undoubtedly would give them a hard and
desperate battle they would hardly be able
to overcome the numerical advantages of
their adversaries. Although / have no in
formation on the subject l take it for
granted that ample measures will be
adopted for the protection of the two war
ships in Brazilian waters now on their way
to Key West. The Spaniards have undoubt-
edly become desperate and soon will have
to do something to prop up their so-called
honor and save the fast falling dynasty.
For these reasons / think it is fair to as
sumo that the Spanish navy will undertake
some bold movement in the near future"

Shooting at Bobbing Targets.

FORT MONROE, Va, May 3.-The ships
of the squadron at gun practice this morn
ing showed phenomenal skill in hitting
small, bobbing targets. The 13-inch guns of
the Massachusetts and the 12-inch guns on
the Texas swung around at all sorts OF re-
markable angles and placed shot in and all
around their targets. while the smaller
guns did equally good work. The eight g.
inch gUns of the Brooklyn proved veritable
destroyers as the turrets swung quickly to
given points and the 5-inch rapid-tre and
targets. A noteworthy feature of the shoot
ing was that every man at the guns acted
as sighting gunner and this in no way de-
ship.
The revenue cutter Manning. recently
converted, passed out this morning on her
way to Key West. The gunboat Bancroft,
which it was announced yesterday had gone
to the blockading fleet at Key West is at
the Norfolk navy yard.

out many years of the history Of the Liberal
party.
There is a general belief that a total
Cabinet crisis is imminent and that 1t will
probably end in a considerable modification
of the present government. possibly in the
formation of a national Ministry under the
presidency of Marshal Martinez Campos.
In any case Parliament is certain to be
closed shortly.
The events of the last few days have I'M
doubtedly increased the popularity of Cen
eral Weyler, who favors an out-and-out
war policy. AT the same time there is no
real ground for anticipating that he will
come to the head of affairs. General Wey-
Ter is notorious, but not a prominent per-
son in Spanish politics. Politicians and the
people at large nave been paying but little
attention to him recently. His party is COM
posed of a few persons of no very high
standing. Moreover, every one recognizes
that Weyler's cruelty in Cuba and his policy
as to the reconcentrados largely contributed
to bring about the present state of affairs,
while his alleged notorious laxity with re-
gard to public money has made him much
disliked. Public opinion is always likely
to mistrust him, and he is unpopular with
the Queen Regent.

NEW YORK, May 3.-The Herald to-day
publishes the following dispatch from Ma

dore Dewey's squadron completely de-
stroyed the Spanish fleet in Manila harbor
early yesterday morning. Three of Admiral
Montejo's ships were burned, one was sunk,
and the rest of the Spanish war ships rem
dered hors de combat by the American guns.
Our fleet entered Manila bay yesterday
morning at 5 o'clock, and, anchoring before
Cavite, the ships took up their positions in
line of battle. The forts on shore at once
opened fire on our ships at long range, and
the Spanish fleet, anchored off Cavite, i'm
mediately followed with their heavy guns.
Commodore Dewey's flagship, the Olympia,
then signaled the rest of the American fleet
to draw closer to shore, and soon afterwards
our ships opened a terrific cannonade. After
half an hours hot fighting Dewey's ships
moved out of range Of the lighter Spanish
guns and continued the bombardment with
the big guns with terrible effect. Twenty
minutes later the Olympia again signaled
the other American ships to draw in at close
quarters, and once more a rapid and inces-

several were BUN ashore to escape capture.
Commodore Dewey's attention was now
directed to the land batteries, which he
silenced after a brief and energetic bonn

half, and 1t was a great and terrible spec

a superior force and suffered heavy losses.
Four hundred Spanish are reported killed,
including two commanders. Their losses by
fire are also probably very great. The Span

were still fired from the forts on shore, but

Recruiting at Chickamau-a.

CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARK,
Ca, May 3.-Recruiting the regular army
at Chickamauga Park is going forward very
slowly, except in the colored regiments, and
1t is believed that the full quota of colored
troops will be speedily obtained. The officers
and men have displayed more decidedly
than heretofore their eagerness to get into
the fray since the news of Commodore
Dewey's victory at Manila and there is
more or less chatting at the present inactiv-
ity of camp life.
Considerable stir was created at the camp
to-day over the announcement received
from semi-official sources from Washington
and given out by Adjutant General Sheri-
dan that the President has named the fol-
lowing officers to be brigadiers to command
in the volunteer army, the nominations

New York Sun.
Commodore George Dewey, whose fleet of
United States war ships destroyed the Span
ish fleet ia Manila bay, is an old warrior
of the navy, who got his christening of fire
aboard the old steam sloop Mississippi, I'M
der Farragut, in the early days of the civil
war. Commodore Dewey is now about sixty
one years old. He belongs in Vermont and
he was appointed to the Naval Academy
from that State in September, 1854. Four
years later, when he was graduated, he was
sent aboard the steam frigate Wabash for
a cruise in the Mediterranean Dewey got
his commission as lieutenant on April 10.

The hottest fight that the Mississippi ever

perhaps as hot as any of the war. In March,

ships got as far as a narrow part of the
channel, where they met land batteries al
most muzzle TO muzzle, and then they were
forced to retreat. The Mississippi did not
get as far as this. A foggy sday had been
chosen for the attempt. and this was soon
made more obscure by the smoke of battle,
and amid this the Mississippi lost her bear

Her officers found that she had struck just
