DEPARTMENTS COOPERATING.
Secretaries of State and the Navy in
Conference.

The Secretary of State, Judge Day, had a
long conference shortly before noon today
with the Secretary of the Navy, Mr.. Long,
at the latters office. At Its close Judge
Day Joined the German ambassador, DIR.
Won Holiaben. in the diplomatic room of
tie State Department. X was inferred that
the two conferences rela ted to the order al
lowing the German steamer Polaria to pass
the blockade and enter Havana harbor. 1t
was the first visit of the German ambassa-
dor to the State Department for some
weeks, as he has been confined to his room
by slight, but prolonged. illness.
Aside from the Polaria question, the
State and Navy Departments have had oc-
casion to Cooperate frequently of late, as
our many consular officers scattered
through the British, French, Dutch and
Danish West Indies. are about the only
means the authorities here have of being
fully and quickly posted on the where
abouts of the several sQuadrons, Spanish
and American. 1t was the State Depart
meht that first officially located the Span
ism squadron OFF the Island of Curacao,
and it also gave thu first assurance Of the
safety of the battle ship Oregon. The Navy
Department secures its direct official i'll
formation: from the commanders of the
squadrons, but their landings are infre-
quent and they are not always able to send
dispatch boat ashore while the ships are
making rapid movements. Being ashore
our consulars are better able to make
speedy reports to ships in the offing and
those observed passing, as well as the ac-
tual arrivals.
Among Secretary Long callers today
was the entire Louisiana delegation, who
brought handsomely engrossed resolutions
on parchment, adopted by the constitutional
convention of Louisiana. thanking and con-
graduating Admiral George Dewey for the
glorious victory OF his command over the
Spanish feet at Manila. which resulted In
the destruction OF the Spanish men-of-war
by the United States feet"

MASSACRED BY SPANISH
Troops at Manila Out Wide Swath Before
Dewey Game.
They Also Bombarded the City of
Cebu About the Middle
of April.

VANCOUVER, B. c., May 19.-It appears
from information brought by the Empress
of India that the Spanish did little bonn
harding on their own account in the Philip
pines about a fortnight before Admiral
Dewey sileEced their fleet. About the mid
die of April, says Manila report, Spanish
warships went down to Cebu, where they
bombarded the city. The troops met no op-
position on landing, the rebels having alb
seconded before a shot was fired, taking
with them, it is said, 100000 in cash.
About thirty natives were killed in the
bombardment, but no European casualties
are reported. The foreigners in business in
Cebu hoisted their national flags over their
premises, and these were respected by the
Spanish admiral Cebu, which ranks third
in the cities in the Philippines, was wreck
ed by the bomha rdment.
- A massacre of rebels by the Spanish also
preceded Admiral Dewey's volley.
Another account from Manila says: 1.-The
other day a panic was cccasioned In the
city by report that the suburb of Tonde
had arisen. All the doors and windows
ere closed and the civil guard paraded the
streets The real cause Of the panic was
afterward discovered to be surprise by the
civil guards of a meeting Of Instruction
lists in Gale de Canda. The civil guard
opened fire upon the rebels and at the same
time burst open the doors Of the house.
The rebels offered stout resistance with
long knives and axes, but the volleys soon
settled matters, seven natives being killed.
Eight Of the guards were wounded, and
later two died. Subsequently sixty or sew
enty persons were captured and shot with
out loss of time. 1t Is estimated two hun
dred rebels escaped into the country. Two
companies of the third native regiment
were also sent in pursuit. Risings in Boil
nae and Zambales have been subdued,
Spanish troops having killed thousands of
dren.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
KEY WEST, Fla, May 19.-Dispatch
boats a. riving this morning report that
shooting sea gulls is the only kind of firing
that now gees on. Blanco had the light
burning from Moro Castle again last
night. He evidently expects some Spanish
vessel to see thai signal, but whether it is
warship or blockade runner can only be
guessed.
If one of the Spanish cruisers had APP
peared off Havana any day this week 1t
would have had little trouble in making its
way into the harbor, as there would have
been nothing but gunboats and auxiliary
yachts to oppose it. That condition cannot
recur in future. Henceforth the entrance
to Havana can only be made after big
naval battle and the entire Spanish fleet
v oUld hardly be able to fight Its way in.
Yuoatan channel is also so well patroled
now that it could not be passed without a

THE OPPOSING saUADRoNs.
No Advices of Importance Receive,
by the Navy Department.

Dy the Navy Department.
The bulletin board at the Navy Depart
ment failed utterly today to produce an
item of interest regarding the movements
or whereabouts of the three great naval
squadrons now believed to be in the Gulf
of Mexico and the waters of the West In
dies. AS near as could be gathered, there
was sound reason for this In the fact that
the Navy Department itself had received
no cablegrams Of Importance and the alert
corps of United States consular officers
scattered through the West India Islands
had nothing to report
This absence of positive incidents gave
opportunity to the Secretary of the NAVY
for the distribution of a considerable uuan-
tity of business and also enabled hin, to
leave the department in the afternoon for
the Capitol to give to the naval committee
of the House an exposition of his views on
the naval personnel bill. The war condi-
ucns OF today have. in the opinion of the
Secretary, afforded a most conclusive evil
dence of the necessity for the passage OF
scme such measure as the personnel bill
and he is using every effort to secure con-
gressional action upon it.

important Developments Expected.
Ihe opinion prevails in congressional cir
cles that important developments may be
expected soon. The men who were express
Ing the greatest discomfort at thu delay In
military operations are more reassured to-
DAY and express hope Of action. A very
largely increased army will be sent to the
Fhlippinss, and the movement will be has
tened. The opinion is strengthened that an
important policy will be adopted with re-
spect to these islands
1t Is thought in Congress that this time
the War Department really means to send
an army to Cuba. and that the invasion of
that island will begin without further hesi-
tation. Two or three times we have been
on the point Of an invasion small or great
put each time some consideration has aris-
en- to postpone action.
II Is said that now the conditions are as
favorable for effective operations as they
are likely to be at any time and that there
Will be no further postponement An evil
dence that this is true may be found In the
TACT that the time when the invasion is to
take place is not being heralded as other
contemplated movements were
Inc reliance on assistance from the in
surgents has steadily become more feeble
ana 1t is proposed to make the invading
army large enough to conduct the cam
palgn without reference to what the insur-
gents may be able to do.
Spanish AdmiraFa Object,
IL Is said by men who have visited the
department this morning that no doubt is
felt that the object OF the Spanish ad-
miral Is to get relief to the Spanish in
cuba, and that our fleets are so situated
that 1t will be impossible for the Spanish
heet to make movement to carry ont that
project without being compelled to fight.
IL is SAID that even should the Spanish
Meet be able to slip out and reach San
Juan. Porto Rico, it would not change the
plans of this government for the invasion
OF Cuba and that no doubt is felt that
Wherever the Spanish fleet may be It will
De compelled to go to the assistance of
Bianco when we begin to land our army
1t Is suggested that If the Spanish fleet
should retreat to San Juan feint might be
made at going from there to attack some
Oh our eastern coast cities in order to again
check the invasion.
Such move. II is said, however, would
not have the desired effect, as the invasion
would be proceeded with whatever move
the spanish fleet might make, no doubt
peing fe!t that the Spanish admiral would
have to turn back to the relief of B!anco
wnen he saw that the diversion had failed
Attack on Our Coast.
But even if q movement were made under
srch circumstances upon our eastern coast
a risk would be run of all the damage he
ccrld do before sufficient fleet could be
sent against him. Even if he should do
some damage along the coast IT would be
at the cost CT the abandonment of Cuba
and the entire destruction of his fleet. as
he would not be able to reserve enough
coal to get away again after making the
long sail necessary to reach a point of at
tack not in easy reach of naval protection.

NOT OBTAINED BY GOVERNMENT.
The Purchase of the Submarine HOl
land Still Under Consideration.

The appearance in the naval orders post
ed this morning of assignments of officers
to the Holland gave rise in some quarters
to the belief that the government had pur-
chased the experimental submarine torpedo
boat of that, name, which has been diving
and reappearing in the waters near Eliza
beth, y. j., recently. This was mistake,
for the Holland referred to is a collier, one
OF two Hollands purchased by the govern
ment yesterday. The vessels were named
the Joseph Holland and the Elizabeth Hol-
land, and they have been rechristened, re-
spectively, the Hannibal and the LeonlGas.
A third collier, name not given, was pur-
chased and she las been christened the
Alexander.
AS for the submarine boat, the matter of
her acquisition by the government is before
Secretary Long. The naval experts who
have examined the queer craft are divided
in their opinions as 10 her merits, and it Is
for the Secretary to decide between them.
Another craft Of somewhat similar quail
ties, now at Baltimore, known as the Lake
boat, has been brought to the attention of
the Navy Department promising to be
OF great utility in countermining harbors.

than now decided on will have to be sent
to Manila In the course of several months.
We do not know at what moment the
United States commander might need moro
soldiers, and need them badly The dis
tance and consequent loss of time between
San Francisco and Manila might endanger
our prestige and many lives. Two or three
divisions of troops in Hawaii would make
the situation much safer
These troops could be sent to Hawaii for
training The climate is splendid. A sud-
den need for troops would be responded to
ten days quicker from Hawaii than from
San Francisco. OF course a cable line
would have to be laid to Hawaii, but this
would take only little time 1 believe the
country will sincerely regret the blunder
If the Sandwich Islands are not at once an

Representative Bromwell of Ohio said to-
day that he thought the rules committee
of the House will report a rule for con-
sideration of the annexation resolution in
a few days. IF they do not do so.' he
said, 1.-The members of the House in favor
of such action will unite in a request for a
rule
Several influential democrats who favor
annexation have made an informal can
vass on the democratic side of the House
and find that there are from fifteen to
twenty-five democrats who will vote for
annexation unless caucus is held and
they are outvoted. There is already some
talk of democratic caucus, it is said, the
object being to prevent democratic aid for
the annexation resolution. A number of
democrats will refuse to go into caucus.
CoIored Immune Regiment.
President Mckinley is said to be favor
five of the ten immune regiments author
iZed by Congress. He has been strongly
advised that the negro will make a splendid
soldier in Cuba White men in several
southern states have asked for commissions
to organize regiments of colored men,
Prominent colored men have also asked to
be given these commissions.
President Mckinley has been told that
colored men in the coast sections Of the
south stand little chance of being stricken
with yellow fever and go through epidemics
without fear.
Walter S. Barker, who was the American
consul at Sagua La Grand, Cuba, is to be
as colonel of an immune reg
iment to be sent to Cuba with the first in
vading party. Consul Barker had long
service in Cuba and is entirely familiar
with the topography of the island. In ad-
dition to commanding regiment, Mr.. Bar
ker is to be placed In charge of all the
supplies to be distributed among the recon-
centrados. Consequently, he will be with
the first of the American forces to be land
ed in Cuba
