to become battleship fighter. He took
in q few drinks to wind up his land
lubber days and was arrested for drunk

Washington, May .-Notwithstanding
the fact that everybody for several days
past has been in momentary expectation
OF cable advices from Commodore Dewey,
the town was thrown into the widest ex-
element at breakfast time this morning
by the Issue of extra papers announcing
the arrival of the McCulloch at Hong
Kong with dispatch Of the engagement
from Commodors Dewey. The publica-
tion of the newspaper dispatches telling
Of terrible mortality among the Spanish
and the escape OF the American forces.
men ard ships from serious injury added
to the excitement and to intense sstisfac-
tion with which the long expected news
was received.
There was an instant rush OF newspaper
men to the navy department to secure
further information from offi fioial sources
and, perhaps, ,dismayed by the number and
impetuosity of the newspaper contingent,
the officials Of the navigation bureau,
where cipher dispatches are transcribed
anc translated. promptly closed and locked
their doors against invasion. One OF the
officers Of the bureau has been on duty
every moment Of the "a hours for several
weeks past. waiting to receive cablegrams
of Importance.
A similar state OF affairs has prevailed
at the state department where one Of the
assistant secretaries and the chief clerk
have divided up the watches Of the night
sleeping on temporary cots set up in tho
ante rooui.

About half past 8 o'clock Manager
Maren of the Western Union Company
appeared at the department. bringing
with him sheet comprising four lines
of the mysterious jareon which makes up
the naval cipher. He handed this
directly to Secretary LONG. who Razed at
IL for . moment and turned it over to
Lieutenant whittelsey. one OF the cipher
experts OF the bureau Of translation. Then
the secretary made pretense Of sitting
down at his desk to transact other bust

he had joined the anxious throng of
spectators.

indeed, the only men treated so far being
sufferers from colds and slight stomach

everything In excellent shape now. Ths
hospital tents are placed In the form Of

with, at the present time. two cots In
each ward. More will be put In II

white ground, has been run up on the
flag staff In front Of the tents.
Army blankets and overcoats are ap-
preciated by the men under canvas and the
fact that there are six men in each tent
is looked upon with pleasure, for close
quarters means more warmth. Every

damp. The recruits realize that they are
being loked after in manner Which
shows that Governor Dyer has their ooIn-
fort constantly in mind, even during the
continued strain OF business taat he is
laboripg under.
Nearly all the recruits so far examined
under ths supervision Of Major Heintze-
mann, surgeon OF the United STATES army,
passed q satisfactory examination, and
this reflects credit upon the surgeons who
ara on duty at the several cruiting
offices. 1t Is now believed that there will
be no IN usterina In Of the mon until the
entire strength Of the volunteer regiment
has been recruited. This work Of N uster-

reason to believe that everything will be
completed on Monday, by which time
Colonel Abbot will have assumed full
command Of the regiment.

of the city government reviewed the pro

THE
CABLE DISPATCH

The naval cipher Is one or the m ost
complex In the world. Three messages
came In words OF strange formation taken
from all langua1ea These words are
turned by the translating corps into
groups of figures and these in turn are
resolved into their equivalent words In
English. All this takes time.
Meanwhile Secretary Alger. hearing OF
the receipt Of news, had come over from
the war department to see his colleague,
but he also was Obliged to wait patiently
for the translation.
Senator Hosr, membsr of the foreign
relations COMMITTEES. also Joined Secretary
Long, and waited upon the cable experts.
About 10 O'Clock prominent officer gave
the newspaper men BRIEF ABSTRACT of the
csbleGram 20 far as upraveiled.
This only whetted the interest OF the
crowd In waiting. When, an hour later,
Secretary Long appeared with copy OF
the translated cipher In his hand, there
was great rush toward him but the sec
rotary Rood-naturedly MADE allowance for
the excitement Of the crowd and smiling
