Two COnGratuIatOry CabIeGrams
Sent to Dewey.

On Board the Flagship Brooklyn. on
Fort Monroe. Va, May 2.-when the
newspapers containing the Associated
press dispatches of Commodore Dewey's
victory reached the feet this morning
there was great excitement
officers and men went at the routine
work with enthusiasm.
Knots of those loft duty discussed the
meager details, and very nearly everybody
said, Il told you SC"
Commodore Schley refused to discuss
the matter, except to say: 1T is what
was to be expected from Dewey"
None of the officers on the squadron put
any faith in the alleged movement to Por-
10 Rico of the Spanish squadron from Cape
Verde Islands. They say that it would be
q fatal step for Spain and that the Span
iards have too much sense to move far
from their own coast. Some fear is ex-
pressed, however, that the fleet may try 10
intercept the Oregon and Marietta, but it
is also argued thai if they do they will
have a hard fight no matter how strong
they maybe in numbers.
AS the more definite news of Commodore
Dewey's success name there was great
jubilation. The Brooklyn was the first ship
to carry Commodore Dewey's flag and
through the Associated Press these mes
sages were sent:
ITO Dewey: ThepBrookyn, which first
few your flag gloeies in your victory.
(Signed) Officers ana Crew."
ITO Dewey: The flying squadron says TO
the Asiatic squadron, bully boys, congrat-
ulation. (Signed) Schley."
1t was with great difficulty that the men
could be restrained from outbursts of en-
thusiasm when the bulletins of the Asso-
ciated Press were posted forward
Commodore Schley said that if the official
news was as good as the Associated Press
dispatches he would let the men yell them
selves hoarse.
Commodore Schiey to-day withdrew his
order for a night patrol of small steam
cutters, and assigned the Scorpion, under
Commander Mark, which arrived to-day,
to that duty. She is heavily armed and
very fast.
The Bancroft got in this afternoon from
the North. She was Joined here by Com
mander Glover, and later sailed for Key
West to be attached g the blockading
squadron.
1t would seem as If the navy department
has picked out the squadron for active
work despite the present inactivity, as

Many British naval officers have ex-
pressed the warmest admiration for the
work of the American fleet. In fact, the

The chief factor of the remainder of the

The news of Commodore Dewey's great
victory in the Philippines had somewhat
damaging effect upon the ardor of the lit
tie army Of soldiers and would be soldiers
gathered around the adjutant generals Of
fee. They felt as if this victory marked the
closing scene OF the war, and in conse-
quence, those who have been thirsting for
opportunity to win military glory against
the Spanards were disappointed at the
prospect Of peace before they could get into
the field.
Gov. Atkinson has not yet received any
reply to his communication to the war de-
partment asking for the use of the mill
tary post here as a rendezvous for the
state troops. In case the department is not
willing TO have the barracks used by the
state troops, it is quite likely that Pied
mont park will be selected for the camp,
the men being given the use of the exposi-
ton buildings for quarters.
Information at the adjutant generals Of
flee is very Indefinite as to when the move
ment of troops to Atlanta will be ordered.
The nearest approach to an answer 10 this
question is that it will probably be some
time this week.

proved Commodore Dewey worthy disci-

honor may be satisfied by the issue Of a

ships were not engaged will not appear
probable to those best acquainted with the
Spanish character
The Daily Telegraph says: mo one an
ticipated a Spanish victory, but the sud
denness and completeness Of this total de-
feat have taken the experts by surprise"
The Daily News says: "A defeat so
crushing and disastrous may well make
Spanish statesmen ask themselves whether
il is worth while 10 risk further mlsfor-
tunes without hope Of a satisfactory re-
suit"
The Standard says: Whatever prepon-

In speaking yesterday of his $4,000
item in the appropriation bill for the
use of the coffee industry, Minister Da-

in presenting Hawaiian coffee to the

remarked that in his judgment none Of
the fund should be used without the
full approval of an Island organization

matter, feeling that the future Of the

upon it's proper introduction to the
trade abroad
