 URGES EXPEDITION.
Parcs of His Message to the Navy Department Are Not Made
 Public.

NEW YORK, May 2S.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: Rear Admiral Dewey communicated with the Navy Department to-day. He declared that no change had occurred in the sit uation, but it is known that the mes sage given the press omitted several important features, setting forth his needs, and urging, it is said, expedition in the dispatch to him of relief.
 In reply to his message it is under stood that the transport Zafiro will take the departure of the cruiser Charleston and transport Peking, with ammuni- tion and other supplies, and of the prospective departure of the monitor Monterey with troop ships The latest intelligence concerning Spanish move ments will also be sent to him for his information.
 Secretary Long will issue orders next week detailing an officer to command the cruiser Boston. He will relieve Captain Frank Wildes, who will be called home. Captain B. P. Lamber- ton, who was originally assigned to Captain Wildes' relief, was chief of staff of Rear-Admiral Dewey at the time of the battle of Manila, Captain Wildes, at his special request. being permitted to retain command of the Boston. In consequence of the assign ment by Rear-Admiral Dewey of Cap tain Lamberton to command the Olym- pia, in place of Captain c. V. Gridley who has been invalided home, it is ne cessary to send another officer of the grade of captain to the Asiatic station to relieve Captain Wildes.

CADIZ FLEET
 PUTS TO SEA Composed of a Dozen
 Vessels. DESTINATION IS UNKNOWN
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MADRID, May 28.-It is officially an- nounced that the Spanish reserve squadron, commanded by Admiral Ca mara, has left Cadiz. Before going to it's destination the squadron will ma neuver probably for several days in the open sea, afterward immediately sail ing for the Philippine Islands, Cuba or the United States, as the Government may judge most opportune. The squad ron is understood to be composed of ten or twelve vessels.
 Senor SagaSta, the Premier on leav- ing the chamber this afternoon, said to group of reporters that the Cadiz squadron had put to sea to carry out maneuYers, but would return to Ca dig.
 NEW YORK, May 2S.--A dispatch to the World from London says: The chief officer of steamer just in from Cadiz said last night:
 ''When we left Cadiz last Friday the only Spanish warships there were the battleship Pelayo, the cruiser Emperor Carlos V, one torpedo boat and the con- verted cruisers Patriota and Rapido The cruisers were at the arsenal. Everything bore the appearance of un- readiness. The Pelayo's boilers, recent ly put in at Toulon. had just been con demned by the experimenting engineer at Cadiz on the ground that they were of insufficient strength. She was, how ever, coaling. The Rapido and the Pa triota had not been fitted with guns and neither had a crew.
 '.There Is no belief In the reports that the fleet was going to Manila or any where else for some weeks at least"

coast went into Havana City and re- ceived plans of the latest changes in Notifications in and around Havana. In conversation with some friends to- day Major Lima said: While in Ha- vana I learned that General Blanco is making desperate efforts to induce the Cuban army to cooperate with the Spanish troops to fight the American army of invasion. General Gomez ana the Cuban Government has refused even to consider such a proposition.
 "Captain-General Blanco on May sent Senor Eliso Giberga under a flag of truce to General Gomez's camp with this proposition: If the Cuban army will cooperate with the Spanish army in repelling the American invasion the Spanish Government solemnly pledges itself to recognize the independence of the Cuban republic. If this proposi- ton is accepted all Cubans and their arms will be admitted with the same rank in the Spanish army, the Junction of both armies to be effected at Santa Clara City
 General Gomez refused this propo- sition and warned Senor Giberga he would receive no more messengers from Blanco on such errands.
 Major Lima got this information from a brother of Senor Giberga who sides with the CubanS.

MANILA, May 25, via Hongkong May 2S.-Rear Admiral Dewey's squad ron continues to blockade Manila Rear Admiral Dewey received a message last Friday evening from the insur- gents notifying him that the Spaniards intended to attack Cavite at once. The gunboat PetreI and the dispatch boat Hugh Mccullough were on the alert all night, and the Callao, one of the gunboats captured from Spain, moved to an anchorage whence she could sweep the narrow neck of land between Cavite and the mainland with machine guns. The enemy did nothing, how ever.
 Another alarm was caused last night by hearing rapid musketry firing back of Cavite. The McCulloch fired two shots from her three-inch howitzer and the smalI-arm firing ceased. The British gunboat Swift arrived here yes terday from Hongkong, and another British warship is coming up the bay as I send this dispatch. The French cruiser Bruit will soon leave for Lar gon, her captain reporting that he can not get provisions in Manila.
 Spanish and native soldiers in Ma nila were in a state bordering on mu- tiny, and the priests gave the Cover nor $1, 00O, 900, which was probably used to pay off the troops. It is reported that native soldiers have agreed to go over to the insurgents as soon as the latter make an attack on the Spanish position.
 Provisions are very scarce in Manila Foreign residents of the city are anX- ious to get away, but they do not know where to go. Insurgents have been un- able to do much yet, owing to a lack of arms, but they expect a shipment of rifles in a few days. When these ar rive they promise to drive the Span iards into the sea.
 Our squadron keeps it's health very we'll, not much more than thirty men being on the sick list. Captain Grid ley goes home by to-days steamer via Hongkong, suffering from a rupture. Commander Benjamin P. Lamberton takes command of the Olympia. Lieu tenant Commander Frederick Singer takes command of the captured trans port Manila. The weather is very hot.
 The prize money, which will go to the bluejackets of Rear-Admiral Dewey's squadron, as a result of the destruction of the Spanish fleet in the bay of Manila, is estimated at $500 in gold for each man. The Spanish third class cruiser Fl Cano is supposed to be at Ilioilo. American supplies are anxiously awaited in the interior. Ma nila is quiet. There is no truth in the rumor that the Germans in Manila intend to man Spanish guns when the city is attacked.

YET URGING
 ANNEXATION Friends of the Scheme
 Very Active. NECESSITY IS POINTED OUT. ISLANDS SAID TO BE NECEs- sARY AS SUPPLY BASE. Speaker Reed, However, Is Holding Out and Is Apparently Deter
 mined to Check the
 Plan.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May 2S.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: Senator Lodge, probably, will not be able to obtain the adopt ion of his Hawaiian annexation amendment to the war revenue bill, but he intends to keep up the fight. He said to-day that he was entirely satisfied with the situation. He believes that he and other friends of annexation will be able to bring the necessity for the possession of the islands so forcibly to the atten- ton of the country that an irresistible sentiment for immediate action will pour in upon Congress.
 Speaker Reed still holds out in oppo- sition to the administration and the great majority of his party in both houses of Congress. He has not yet given any assurance that he will allow the annexation resolution to be con- sidered.
 Advocates of the measure in the House are determined, however, that he shall not be allowed to control the action, and they are continuing their preparations for a caucus on Tuesday or Wednesday, if they do not in the meantime obtain a definite promise from the Speaker.
 Tn some quarters Reed and the com bi.ation of Democrats, Populists and Silver Republicans who form the bulk of his supporters are severely crfti- cized Their conduct is denounced as being little less than reasonable, in view of the urgent necessity of making Honolulu the base of war operations in the Pacific.
 CHICAGO. May 2S.-A special to the News from Washington says: Speaker Reed Is using the following argument as his reason for opposing the annexa-
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-29

tion of Hawaii An annexation resolu- tion cannot pass Congress. An attempt will result in a debate that will be academic and dilatory. This discus sion will be acrimonious and profitless. It will prolong Congress indefinitely and keep the members here when they should be home looking after their campaigns. The debate would inject into the Congressional contests an is- sue that is wholly foreign to their mer- it's and could only result in confusion. The debate would have a bad effect on the country and the party.
