WE HAVE NO FEAR.
President Is Not Worrying About CON-
modore Dewey or the Oregon.

Washington. May 5.-Although n2tu
rally anxious to hear from Commodore
Dewey, the President and members Of
the cabinet are not at all alarmed at
the non-arrival Of news from Manila.
1t is pointed out that the cable office is
about 10 miles or more distant from tue
city and that the connecting land line
is undoubtedly in the hands of the
Spanish troops. These. it is assumed
cannot he dislodgeI by the commodore
with the landing force now at his dis
posal The commodore, it is said. may
have been compelled to send slow YES
sci. 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 ar-
rival of the report.
Nor are the President and his advis-
ers disturbed at the situation of the
Oregon and the Marietta. 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 sue
ceeded in defeating her she would have
suffered an equal or greater loss to
themselves. This exchange the Span
iards are in no position to make.
Although the government has had n
official news of the present where
abouts of the Cape Verde fleet. ne
doubt is expressed that it has returned
to Cadiz, as reported by Lloyds
Wherever it is the government has n ]
reason to hope that it will venture int0
