PRESIDENT NOT WORRIED.
Non-ArrivaI of News From Manila
Causes No Alarm.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Although
naturally anxious to hear from Commo-
dore Dewey. the President and the
members of the Cabient are not at all
alarmed at the non-arriVal of news from
Manila 1t is pointed out that the cable
office is about ten miles or more dis
tant from the city, and that the conect-
ing line is undoubtedly in the hands
of the Spanish These, it is assumed,
cannot be dislodged by the Commodore
with the landing force now at his dis
posal. The Commodore, it is said, may
have been compelled to send a slow yes-
sci out, or he may be waiting to send
news of the surrender of the islands. In
any event the contingencies are such
no definite time can be fixed for the ar
rival of the report.
Nor are the President and his advisers
disturbed at the situation of the oregon
and Marietta. They have no fear that
the Cape Verde fleet is en- route to inter
cept them, for the reason that such a
move would be the highest folly. In
case of an attack it is confidently be-
lieved that the Oregon would sink "a
least one or two of her assailants. so
that if the enemy succeeded in defeating
her he would have suffered an equal
or greater loss himself. This exchange
the SDaniards 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 the Lloyds. Wherever it
is, the Government has no reaso.l to
hope that it will venture into these
waters.

NO WORD FROM DEWEY.
The Cable Company Asserts That
No Message Has Been Sent.

LONDON, May 5.-The officials of
the Eastern Telegraph Company, when
questioned to-day, said: Neither Pres
ident Mckinley nor anyone else has
received message from Commodore
Dewey"
Such message must necessarily be
transmitted over the lines of the East
ern Telegraph Company from Manila
and Hongkong. The company knows
of no communication emanating from
Manila since the cable was cut. The
company has been watching all points
for Manila intelligence, being anxious
regarding the safety of it's staff and
property.
MAY TAKE SOME TINE TO RE-
PAIR THE CABLE.
CHICAGO, May 5.-Charles H. Sum-
mers, electrician of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, was interviewed
to-day concerning the interruption to
the cable between Hongkong and Man
lila. Mr.. Sumner said that the Hong
kong Manila cable in a direct line
would be 62S miles long, but as there
is undoubtedly some slack it is doubt
less 700 miles long. With delicate in
