More Engineers Wanted.

Washington, May 5.-The war depart ment will soon issue a call for $500 men to reinforce the engineer corps of the army, provided congress gives the nec- essary authority. The engineers will be drawn from the country at large and no apportionment will be made among the states. There is immediate need of a large number of engineers on ac- count of the expected operations of the army in Cuba and the Philippines, and possibly Porto Rico. Coast defense for tifications on the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico also require more officers of the engineer corps, and $500 is the smallest number which the army administration is willing to name for these purposes.

THE LEYDEN'S TRIP,
Landed Men and Ammunition on the
 Cuban Coast-Fired Upon.

Key West, May 1.-The Leyden steamed into port this morning and steamed into port this morning and the following story of a desperate encoun- ter with Spanish troops on thenorthern coast of Cuba was told: The Leyden left here Monday afternoon with par ty of insurgents under General Balda- moro Acosta and including five Cuban scouts under the leadership of Captain J. II. Dorst of the United States cav airy. The Leyden also carried a large quantity of arms and ammunition. The tug proceeded to a certain spot and landed five men with four boxes of am munition and two horses. General Acosta also landed and penetrated to the interior, where he communicated with the forces of the insurgents
 The Leyden lay-to outside the har- Dor until o'clock in the morning, when observing troop of Spanish infantry approaching she put to sea and got safely away. The same night she pro- ceeded to Matanzas and Tuesday after noon landed another small party near
 
 she looked for the monitors Terror and Amphitrite, which are on the blockade in that vicinity, but being unable to locate them the Leyden returned to the original landing place, reaching there early yesterday morning. Here she was met by Acosta and about two hun dred Cubans, half of whom were armed with rifles. They united with the men on the tug and an attempt was made when two hundred troops of the Villa Vicosa cavalry swooped down on them and fierce engagement of half an hours duration followed.
 The Cubans finally repulsed the ene- my, driving them into the woods. Dur ing this engagement several rife bullets went through the Leyden's smokestack, but no one was injured The plucky little tug then went in search of the flagship, found her lying near Havana and reported the story. Admiral Samp- son sent the gunboat Wilmington back with the Leyden. The two vessels reached the scene of the landing yes- terday afternoon and found the Span ish cavalry in waiting to welcome an- other tempted invasion. The Will mington promptly opened fire on a number of small houses marking the entrance to the place. The gunboat fired four shots, which drove back the Spaniards, and Captain Dorst, with the ammunition, landed safely last night, the Leyden retur ming here.

PRESIDENT NOT CONCERNED.
Cable Office at Manila Probably In Hands
 of Spanish.


 Washington, May 5.-Although natu- rally anxious to hear from Acting Rear Admiral Dewey, the president and the members of the cabinet are not at all from Manila. It is pointed out that the cable office is about ten miles or more distant from the city and that the con- meeting land line is undoubtedly in the hands of the Spanish troops. The act ing real admiral, it is said, may have been compelled to send a slow vessel, or he may be waiting to send news of the surrender of the islands. In any event, the contingencies are such that no definite time can be fixed for the arrival of the report Nor are the pres ident and his advisers disturbed at the situation of the Oregon and the Mari etta.
 They have no fear that the Cape Verde fleet is en route to intercept them, for the reason that such a move would be the height of folly. In case of an attack it is confidently believed that the Oregon would sink at least one or two of her assailants, so that if the enemy succeeded in defeating her she would have suffered an equal or greater loss to themselves. This exchange the Spaniards are in no position to make. Although the government has had no official news of the present whereabouts of the Cape Verde fleet, no doubt is ex- pressed that it has returned to Cadiz, as reported by Lloyds. Wherever it Is, the government has no reason to hope that it will venture into these waters.

TRE JApANrsE MINISTER
Has Not Heard From ManiIa-News May
 Co1ne by Way of Formosa

Washington, May 1.-The Japanese minister, MT. Hoshi, was among the callers at the state department to-day. He had not heard from Manila but thought information might corne by way of Formosa, to which place Japan has laid cable. The minister does not credit reports that Hawaii is about to be turned over to the United States He says he has nothing to say of Ha- waii's acquisition by the United States in the usual way by treaty, so long as Japan's interests are safeguarded. He is inclined to believe that when the Japanese decree of neutrality is in hand it will disclose that coal is not made strict contraband of war.
 Senor Mendonica gave notice that he would sail on the 14th instant for Liszon to resume his duties there ss minister for Brazil. His successor, Dr. Assis, the present minister to Port gal will sail for the United States tO nor row. The Hawaiian minister, MT. Heath, was also among the callers at the state department. MT. Hatch has so far heard nothing from Honolulu in confirmation of the press dispatches of yesterday relating to the transfer of the Hawaiian islands to the United States.

IN THE REICHSTAG.
No Likelihood of q Blockade of American
 Ports-Emperor Cheered.


 Ports-Emperor Cheered.
 Berlin, May 5.-In the Reichstag to- day Baron Won Thielmann, secretary of the imperial treasury replying to an interpolation declared the government had no intention of asking the Bundles. rath to suspend the duties on grain. He added that the fears of blockade of American ports were exaggerated, asserted that there was no likelihood of such a blockade, and said that, in any case, the Canadian route would remain open.
 A temporary change in the duties would not cheapen bread it would se- verely injure the agriculturgts. The dealers, he added, would be the only persons to benefit by the change. Hut, he said, in conclusion, if tile situation alters essentially the government will reconsider the question. Count Posa- dowski, minister for the interior and representative of the chancellor, then announced that the ceremony of clos ing the session would take place in the white hall of the roya. castle at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The pro- ceedings closed with cheers for the en- peror.

THE WORK OF CONGRESS-.
Deliveries of Mail in All Cities Reduced to
 Four Daily.

Washington, May 5.-During almost the entire session to-day the senate had under consideration the postut.ice appropriation bill. The measure carries S99, ,224,300, being very much the heav- jest of all the appropriation bills. The most important action taken lpon the measure was the adoption of an amend ment offered by MT. Tillman reducing the number of deliveries of mail in all cities of the country to not exceeding four each day. The amendment was sharply antagonized as a blow to busi- ness interests in the large cities, but the feeling of the senate was such that despite the vigorous opposition, it pre- vailed by a decisive majority.
 lively debate was precipitated by an amendment of the committee strilx- ing out the appropriation of $300,0O0 for rural free delivery. The proposition was discussed for nearly two hours, MT. Chandler and MT. Butler leading sAAC ie5iib III IdNOl OL LII Il dGilNGiys py the close vote of 25 to 22 however the committee was sustained and the bill now carries no appropriation for such delivery. An important amendment to the bill was one which will prevent star route contractors from sub-letting their contracts. In order to get their money they must be able to swear that they performed the service themselves.
 Just before adjournment the senate passed an important war measure au- thorizing the president and general oflt- cers of the army to supply the Cuban insurgents with arms and munitions of war and empowering officers of the army serving in Cuba to supply the needy inhabitants of the island with medicine and subsistence.
 The bill was reported by MT. Cockrell from the military affairs committee and the text is as follows:
 Section That while serving in Cuba during the existing war, officers of the army of the United States exer- cising separate commands may, by special order, cause subsistence, medi- cal and quartermaster's supplies to be issued to, and other aid rendered to in- habitants of the island of Cuba who are in immediate danger of perishing unless they receive the same.
 Section 2-That the president and general officers commanding troops in Cuba are hereby authorized to furnish to the proper officers of the Cuban in surgents such arms, ammunitions, equipments and military stores and sup plies as they may require to render the services of that army as allies in the existing war available, and may enlist not to exceed fifty, for each brigade, inhabitants of the island of Cuba quali- fled to serve as interpreters, guides, scouts and assistants

sENon DUBosc SPEAKS.
Late Spanish Charge de Affairs at Wash
 ington. Attacks Americnns.


 Toronto, May 5.-Senor Dubosc, late of the Spanish legation at Washington, lectured to 1000 people tonight on the causes of the present war. Senor Polo and many prominent men were present. The lecture was in aid of the Red Cross society work. Senor Dubosc made severe attack on the American people. He traced the history of the trouble, reiterating the Spanish argu- ments, and spoke of American senators as border ruffians, whose illiterate boorishness is only equaled by their venality and ludicrously pompous conceit." He urged that American cu- pidity for conquest constituted a. grave danger to Europe, Canada and Mexico and compared the queen regent of Spain with "The bloated politicians whose countenances depict the lust that is in their hearts,"

PLANNING TO PROTECT THE MINES
Admiral Erben Will Soon Have Fleet of
 Patrol VesseIs in N " Hnrhnr

admiral ErDen Will Soon Have a Fleet of
 Patrol Vessels in N. Y.Harbor.
 New York, May 5.-Owing to the great injury done to the submarine mines in the harbor by reckless tug boats and coastwise steamship cap tains, the authorities will hasten their preparations for properly protecting the mines. Rear Admiral Erben, who has the command of the entire coast wise patrol fleet, with headquarters in this city, and Commander Field, to whom he has delegated the oversight of the third, or New York division, are busily at work in deciding upon the vessels they need for the patrol ser- vice.
 Commander Field has had several long conferences with Captain Rodgers of the naval board on auxiliary vessels about suitable boats for the work and it is expected that a list of eight tug boats and yachts, the most of which have been inspected by the board, will be forwarded to Washington to-day for the approval of Secretary Long.
 Admiral Erben is almost as out spoken in his condemnation of the ac- tion of those captains who are disre- garding the new harbor regulations as have been the army engineers who have seen their work destroyed
 Well fix those fellows yet" he said to-day. It will be but a few days now before we will have some patrol boats stationed about the upper and lower bays, and outside the Sandy Hook bar, and then we will see whether or not those fellows will do as they please with Uncle Sams orders''
 Admiral Erben said that the patrol boats would be well armed and their commanding officers would be instruct ed to teach the offenders a well-merited lesson by putting a shot or two in them. It is probable also that the captains of some of the vessels may lose their li- censes if they are caught using the for bidden channels again.

Value of the Philippines.

London, May 5.-The Birmingham Post quotes the New York Suns declar- ations regarding the Philippines as through Spain's choice of war the rightful property of the United States, and dwells upon it's great importance.
 The Manchester Guardian says: "A very competent authority recently sta- ted that the Philippines were the rich est islands in the world. The sum of money sent to Spain early by the off, cials is enormous, but it is exceeded by the sums sent to China by Chinese traders, who have absorbed the entire retail trade of the islands,
