today that while Dewey's force. OF prob

to occupy the town of Manila. yet II was
ample to allow him to garrison the two
commanding forts OF Cavite and Corregi-

AT THE WHITE HOIISF

Washington, May 4.-President McKin-
ley hah scarcely ensconsed himself in his
corner near a window in the west end of
the Executive Mansion before the con
gressional contingent began arriving. Mr..
william Hahn, the Ohio politician, had
a consultation with him Immediately after
breakfast and scarcely had left before
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania reached
the White House with a friend. Senator
Faulkner of West Virginia and Reprcsen-
tative Gardner of New Jersey followed
There was a complete absence of official
news at the White House up to II O'Clock
The president had been hourly expecting
an official dispatch from Commodore
Dewey via Hong Kong but none had ar
rived.
Senators Fairbanks and Turpie and
Representative Crumpacker of Indiana,
called on the president to urge the ap-
pointment of Captain A. Skunk. Eighth

and the president gave partial assurance
of favorable action.

the enemy. However. there were oother
officers who did not take this view Of
the law.
Surprising that the dispatch boat was

probably send an officer in a native boat
or some other means of transportation
than the ships boat. TO Hong Kong with

time consumed by this would depend
upon the hour the officer started, for IL

in the evening or al night, the journey

until next morning. which, allowing for
the difference in time between Washing

midnight tonight.

WHERE TO LAND IN CUBA

Washington. May 1.-The foreign ex-
perts now in Washington are also much
interested in the approaching active
movements in Cuba. one Of them stated
today that from a strasetic standpoint
he thought il would be unwise to at
tempt a military landing at any point
within the present line Of blockade The
danger of such a landing. he pointed
out, was that railways run along the
coast Of Cuba, connecting Havana with
all the points covered by the blockade.
These railroads are in the hands of tho
Spanish, and would permit them TO mass
$1,000 soldiers at any point threatened
with a landing. For this reason. ne said.
the expedient move would seem 70 be To
