Before LOng-The Oregon safe.

Washington, May l4.-Dcfinite off,
cial information reached the authOri-
ties here late this afternoon that the
Spanish squadron has been sighted on
the island of Curacao, one of the
Dutch West Indies, lying off the north
coast of Venezuela. This Information
was regarded as of vital importance,
as it not only fixed the position of the
enemy, but disclosed the purpose of
the Spanish admiral TO elude Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet and make his way
through the Caribbean, probably to
Cuba. The island of Curacao was orig
inally Spanish. and is peopled mainly
by descendants of Spaniards, though
1t is now one of the Dutch possessions.
The Spanish admirars course was also
Influenced by the fact that the French
cable, starting from Caracas. VeneZue-
la, touches at the island of Curacao,
thence proceeds northward through the
Caribbean to Hayti, with spurs run
ming east and west to Porto Rico and
Cuba respectively. He is thus enabled
to get in touch from Curacao with the
Spanish authorities in Cuba and Porto
Rico, and through them directly with
the Spanish admiralty at Madrid.
No immediate battle with Admiral
Simpsons fleet is expected. and the
Spaniards, as seem likely. have sue
ceeded in passing south of the Ameri-
can fleet and are now well to the
westward of it.

ports.
Washington, May 15.--The dispatch
es from Hong Kong brought welcome
news to-day from Admiral Dewey ~
the President, and particularly 10 See
retary Long and the naval officer
who are watching the admiral''' move
ments with much interest. While II
apprehension existed as to his securit.
nevertheless reinsurance of safety is
always pleasant. The kilograms iidi
cate that Dewey has lost none of the
prestige gained In his memorable iilsii,
of two weeks ago. and that while fr
refrains from taking the city of Mania
he has it practically at his mercy. TIN
admiral expresses the belief. that the
rebels are hemming in the city b.,
land, but the fact that he says cxplic+
itely that they have made no demon
stration seems to disprove thoroughly
the published reports that they had al
ready entered Manila and had begun
career of bloodshed and rapine.
The dispatch rs given out by See
retary Long is as follows:
Cavite, May 13.-Hong Kong, May 10.
Maintaining strict blockade. Reason
to believe that the rebels are hemmin-
in the city by land but have made no
demonstration. Scarcity provisions in
Manila. Probable that the Spanish
governor will be compelled to surren-
der soon. Can take Manila at any mu-
ment. Climate hot and moist. On

London, May 16.-The Hong Kong
correspondent of the Standard says:
After the Callao's crew landed they

lao was paraded in full view Of Ma

States cruiser Concord. When Mr..

pines by a native administration. un
der the protectorate of the United
States.
AT present there is a deal of dissen
sion among the rebel factions, some of
which are negotiating with the Ameri
cans and others with the Spaniards.
Whether Aguinaldo possesses enough
influence to reconcile these differences
and to induce the insurgents to pursue
a common policy is questionable. Ad-
miral Dewey is well advised in waiting
for reinforcements. since the fall of
Manila would produce anarchy
throughout the islands. The English
here advocate an Anglo-American ad-
ministration.

see fit to give any Information ON the
subject. and the same rigid silence
prevails as TO the whereabouts and
destination of Commodore Schley's
flying squadron. The game has reach
ed such critical stage that premature
publication as to the whereab bouts of
our ships might cause inestimable loss
and the failure of present plans.
The Spanish vessels are reported by
our consul to be at Curacao for the
purpose of coaling. Our scouts are out

Battle Is Fought.
Washington. u. C.. May 13.-Direct
orders We're given General Miles this
morning suspending for the present
the movement OF the invading army
upon Cuba. General Miles has there
fore postponed his departure for the
South and 1t is announced authorita-
lively by the War Department otii-
cials that 1t cannot be stated with
definiteness when General Miles will
leave.
The suspension OF the movement of
the invading army upon Cuba was
Induced by the proximity of the Span
ish Cape Verde squadron to Cuban
waters. II is deemed by the depart
ment to be the part Of wisdom not to
risk the landing of troops on Cuban
soil until the landing can be effected
under the protection of stronger
fleet than is now available for the
purpose Of more protection. The fact
that the army movement has been
postponed Is In direct evidence that n
decisive naval battle Is expected to
occur within few days. II Is not
doubted that the squadron under the
command OF Admiral Sampson Will
seek an engagement with the Spanish
fleet nj once. and II Is with the idcn
OF awaiting the result of that conflict
that the orders for the movement of
the land forces are held In abeyance
temporarily.
