Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The perma-
nent occupation OF the Philippines by the
United States troops is no longer a Ques-
ton discussed. but determined. More inn
portant than that of the dispatching Of
troops. is the sending OF the great coast
defeuse vessel Monterey. Her seven-thou-
sand mile trip VIII not be soon repeated.
She will guard Manila harbor against all
comers until the war and Indemnity are
settled.
The Philippines constitute Spains chief
source of income. and that income is to
be turned at once into our Golfers. This
explains the great rush to hasten across
the Pacific an adequate force to hold the
Islands against any possible efforts that
Spain may make 10 recapture them.
The adequate Quitting Of SO large an
army Is not an easy task. Money is not
spared where time may be saved. While
relief IS being rushed TO Dewey. the in
vasion OF Cuba is not abandoned by any
means. The change in the plans provides
for delay. only until additional supplies
can be prepared. This is deemed adyisa-
be. TO prevent any possible failure of the
first expedition or unnecessary loss of life.

del Este. Cuba yesterday says: Naval
Constructor Hobson returned last night in
one of the tugs of the Chapman
Wrecking Company with several more
guns which had been recovered from the
Spanish cruiser Almirante 0quendo.
Five other guns recovered from the
sunken Spanish warships, which were
landed yesterday at Santiago, will be
brought here.
Mr.. Hobson's success in that feature Of
his work is shown by the fact that the
guns so far recovered from the wrecks Of
the Infanta Maria Teresa, the Vizcaya and
the Almirante Oauendo are valued at
s3G0, 900.
Another expedition was sent today to
work on the wreck of the Cristobal Colon.
and some of the men who have been at
work on the Infanta Maria Teresa were
sent to the ViZcaya today. Divers will be
sent tomorrow to make another examina-
tion of the Vizcaya.
Naval Constructor Hobson Is now conf
dent that he will not only be able to save
the Cristobal Colon. but also the Reina
Mercedes, which was sunk by the Span
iards.
A report reached here this afternoon that
there is trouble in Havana but the nature
OF 1t could not be learned. The auxiliary
cruiser Scorpion. which arrived here this
morning, received orders to sail for Ha-
vana Immediately.
The cruiser Newark sailed yesterday for
Port Antonio.
