WASHINGTON, May 10. Gable ad-

Sampson announce his arrival off the

where he is now located until the de-
partment or one of the scouts informs
him of the appearance of the Spanish

DEWEY AWAITS ORDERS.
A Provisional Government Has Been
Proposed by the Admiral


New YORK, May lO.-A dispatch
from Hong Kong says: dispatches
signed by Commodore Dewey have
just been sent to Washington recon-
mending that the surrender of Manila
be demanded and q provisional gov
eminent for the Philippines be estab-
lished pending the settlement Of the
war with Spain.
His proposal is for a commission to
take control of the government. He
suggests that he be named as one of
the commissioners The government
would be continued upon much the
same lines as now.
He asks that sufficient troops be
sent him, in the event that his plan is
adopted, to maintain order. If his
suggestion is favOrably received by
the President and the cabinet, it is
probable that our two consuls, Will
Jams of Manila and Wildman Of Hong
Kong, will be asked to serve on the
commission.

The Spanish Residents Threaten to De-

British Consul the City Has
PrOglsIOns for Only
q Few Days

NEW York, May TO- "A dispatch to
the New York Herald from Manila,
May S, by way of Hong Kong, yester'
day is as follows:
Having Learned that the governor Of
Manila had refused to let the cable
company transmit our messages, Com
modore Dewey sent the merchant
steamer Zatiro short distance down
the bay and had her cut the cable.
As soon as the natives ashore
learned that the Spaniards had been
driven out of Cavite they began COM
ing in crowds to pillage, Finally they
became so bold as to attack the hos
pital, and it was necessary either to
send a guard of American seamen to
protect the wounded or transfer them
to Manila. The latter was done We'd
nesday, Commodore Dewey utilizing
captured steamers for this purpose.
NATIVES BEGIN TO PILLAGE
All the houses of Spaniards in the
town of San Rogue, near CaVite, were
absolutely Quilted by the natives, who
even ventured into the arsenal and
carried off many boat loads of furni.
ture and stores before the marine
guard was posted at the gates.
The Spanish defeat was advertised
for miles away by the ships burning
in Cavite bay. The Castillo, which was
set afre in Sunday mornings battle,
was magnificent mass of flames
twelve hours later, and continued to
burn all night with brilliant inten-
sity.
l boarded the Don Juan de Austria,
Isla de Luzon and Marquis del Onero
while they we're still burning. L
found them fitted up with fine Canet
rapid-fre guns and most Of the mod
,ern improvements
l did not discover until after we had
,spentthe afternoon in their vicinity
that all their large guns had been left
loaded with powder and shell, making
them peculiarly dangerous to small
boats.
The guns generally lay level just
above the surface of the water. As
several of them were pointed at the
arsenal, their chargeswere first drawn
then drowned" as the fire might
reach them at any moment

find that in my previous dispatches

Spaniards ia Sundays battle.
The surgeon OF the Castillo tells me
that Admiral Mentejo wes wounded;
the captain, chaplain and ninety
Others were killed and ninety wound
ed on the Castillo; $50 were killed aud
ninety wounded on the Reina CriStinas
Admiral Montejo's Aagship; five were
killed and twenty-nine wounded on
the Dor Juan de Austria; four were
killed and fifty wounded on the Don
Antonio de Ulloa.
AS am leaving the hArbor the stu
alton in the city of Manila is very
critical The British consul reports
that the city has been entirely cut off
from outside communication both by
sea and land and has only enough
provisions Left to last few days
LITTLE NEWS FROM SHORE
1t is impossible to open communica-
tion between the shore and tine fleet;
therefore news about events ashore is
very scarce aboard the American Ves'
sells The little that has leaked
through indicates the probability that
the insurgents will soon attack the
city. Spanish residents of Manila are
very bitter against the governor gem
eral and are threatening to depose
him.
The more recall the events of last
Sundays battle the more miraculous
it seems that no American lost his
life
The she'll that entered the Boston's
wardroom was going straight for
Paymaster Martin when it exploded
within five feet Of him, yet ne was not
touched.
Aboard the Olympia the surgeons
operating table was placed in the
wardroom. Chaplain Frazier, who
was assisting the surgeon, had his
head out of one of the 6-pounder gun
ports when a shell struck the ships
side less than a yard away. Tho
chaplain pulled his head in just in
time to escape having it blown off, as
the she'll instantly burst
DEWEY'S NARROW ESCAPE
Three fragm ents of one she'll struck
the olympia within a radius of fifteen
feet from Commodore Dewey. The
armor piercing projectile that ex-
ploded the box of 3-pounder ammuni-
tion on board the Baltimore passed
between two groups of men so close
to each other that it is difficult to see
how all escaped.
Eighty Spanish bodies we're found
Monday night, and we gave
them burial Tuesday morning, calling
a Roman Catholic priest to read the
burial service.

THE CUBAN DEBT.
Plan of Settlement Proposed by n
Leading Madrid Newspaper.
expected

LONDON, Aug. S-A special dispatch
from Madrid says: Apparently, the public
is little concerned about the progress of the
peace negotiations. There were bull fights
as usual to-day Sunday, and the custom
ary amusements proceeded with the utmost
gayety
lei Imparcial proposes new solution for
the settlement of the Cuban debt 1t takes
1t for granted that the United States can
not be asked to assume the burden of about
93200O,0OO ($16O, coo O0O) of debt existing when
the rebellion began in 1895, and the ego, ,OOO,-
900 ($450, 100000 spent since, and it suggests
that Spain should undertake to pay inter-
est and redemption on the Cuban debt un-
til the new West Indian republic is in a
position to do so, which Ell impartial af-
fects to believe Cuba could soon do when
its vast natural resources were developed
under an American protectorate. The same
paper goes on to say that Spanish finances
will be very seriously compromised, and
the interests of Spanish and foreign holders
of Cuban stock also, if the United States
does nothing for the Cuban debts The Mad
rid press insists that this matter will yet
be mooted in the negotiations between
Spain and the United States.
'"The papers comment on Senior Sagasta's
astuteness in consulting the political lead
ers. This act has greatly strengthened his
position because nearly all approved his
peace policy and none had any feasible
plan to propose for prolonging the war or
getting better peace terms.
The comments on the conditions of peace
are very reserved If the United States in
sists upon an immediate evacuation of the
Antilles. the Cortes will be convoked forth
with. Tomorrow the Queen Regent will
sign decree increasing the note circulation
of the Bank of Spain. The work of strength
ening the Notifications in the vicinity of
Gibraltar goes on INCREASINGLY"
The Daily News in it's editorial. echoes
the opinions of the Times regarding the
Cuban difficulty. 1t characterizes General
Ames's dispatch as 'one of the strongest
and strangest that ever came from a mill
itary source" and says: 1T speaks wonders
for the candor of the Navy Department
that the dispatch was ever published. If
its publication had preceded the acceptance
of peace, it might have considerably retard-
ed that event..

BUSINESS FOLLOWS WAR.
New York Syndicate VIII Develop the
Resources of Porto Rico.

NEW YORK, Aug. THE first business
enterprise to leave this city for Porto Rico
sailed last evening on the steamer Silvia
The vessel carried a heavy cargo of pro-
visions and her destination is Ponce, which
port she expects to reach by next Friday.
On board the vessel were forty representa-
tives of a new development syndicate, con-
sisting of civil engineers, surveyors and
mining experts, who will make a thorough
investigation of the resources of the island
with the object of organizing a company to
establish various business enterprises. 1t is
said that the syndicate represents an in
vestment of large amount of money. all
New York capital A representative of the
syndicate said: 1--WE are satisfied that
there is a vast field for the investment of
capital in Porto Rico, and will be about the
first on the scene to take advantage of the
opportunity. There will be no lack of
money to develop the valuable territory,
which will become a part of the United
States when the treaty of peace is signed,
and those early in the field will reap the
benefit"
The syndicate, it is said, will obtain large
areas of land in Porto Rico and would es-
tablish plants for the manufacture of vari-
Gus articles most needed by the natives
and now imported from this country. Among
the passengers were Supreme Court Justice
William d. Dickey and his son, who are en-
thusiastic about the possibilities of the
island.
