How News Of Dewey's Victory Was
Received by the Flying Squadron.

FORT MONROE, Va, May 2.-Before the
newspaper boy brought the special editions
with news of the victory of the battle off
Manila. on board the flagship Brooklyn,
those who slept until late were awakened
by the sharp exchange Of guns. With the
exception of morning and evening guns,
always expected, any explosion creates ex-
element now, and this was the case to-day
until it was learned that the Scorpion, which
has Joined the squadron, was firing a sa-
lutte. The salut was returned and then
came the newspapers containing the account
of Admiral Dewey's victory. From stoker
TO commodore, every mar in the squadron
knew of the victory within an hour, and
there was the greatest excitement. Knots of
men off duty discussed the meager details,
and nearly everybody said, Il told you So.
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 i'm
the alleged movement 10 Porto Rico of the
Spanish squadron from the Cape Verde ISL
ands.. They say that it would be a fatal
step for Spain and that the Spaniards have
100 much sense to move far from their own
coast. Some fear is expressed. however,
that the Meet may try to intercept the Ore
gon and Marietta, but it is also argued
that II they do they will have a hard fight,
bers.
AS the more definite news of Dewey's
success came there was great utilization.
The Brooklyn was the first ship to carry
commodore Dewey's flag. and through the
Associated Press these messages were sent:
TO Dewey - The Brooklyn. which first
new your flag, glories liz your victory.

1t was with great difficulty that the men
could be restrained from outbursts of enthu-
slasm when the news bulletins were posted
Forward. and Commodore Schley said that If
the ofnciai news was as good as the press
dispatches he would let the men yell them
selves hoarse.
The Bancroft arrived here at 1 o'clock on
her way to Key West. She will be Joined

Commodore Schley to-day withdrew his or

Auxiliary Cruiser Yale, Formely the
Paris, Leaves New York.
NEW YORK, May 2.-The steamship
Yale, formerly the American liner Paris,
left her dock shortly before s o'clock to-
night under sealed orders. When the YES.
sci swung out from her pier hundreds OF
steam whistles in the river saluted her with
their whistles and a number of small can
non in the vicinity doomed salutes. On the
bridge of the Yale stood Captain Watkins,
her former commander. and by his side
Captain w. c. Wise. of the United States
navy, her present commander. A Sandy
Hook pilot was also on the bridge. The
Yale carried a full supply of stores for an
extended cruise and had 5000 tons of coal
aboard. The last of the provisions were put
in the hold just before she sailed. A navy
yard tug. with the last of the ammunition
for the rapid-fire guns, arrived at the pier
in the afternoon, and the supplies were rap
idly hoisted aboard the Yale.
The last distinguishing mark of the
American liner disappeared this afternoon
when the name Paris was painted from
her stern and the word Yale substituted
in small black letters. The only mark
which remains is the white BAND on each
funnel, the American line funnel mark.

viii Defend the National Hon, r

LONDON, May 2.-The Spanish Cabinet,
according to a special dispatch from Mad
rid to the Evening News, sat for four hours
and only discussed the Manila disaster.
The discussion. it is added, showed the
Spanish ministers are now entirely
aroused and will exhaust their resources in
defense of the national honor"
After the Cabinet council, the Madrid dis
patch to the Evening News continues, Gen.
Correa. minister for war, and Admiral Ber-
meJo. the minister of marine. made a report
to the Queen Regent. The latter, it appears,
who had already heard of the reverse, was
afame with patriotic enthusiasm and de-
clared that, while their loss of so many
ships was d misfortune, there was salts
faction in the reflection that the Spaniards
had covered themselves with honor" The
Queen Regent is said to have added: MY
spirit can never be daunted so long as l can
rely on the patriotism and courage of the
~Spaniards.'
The absence of further details of the
Spanish defeat is supposed, according to the
Spanish officials, to be due to the pre-
occupation of Captain General August In
defending Manila.

Deserted at His Mothers Request.

CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARK,
Ga, May q The soldiers at the Chick
amauga Park have settled down to the
routine of camp life in earnest. The news
of the victory of Admiral Dewey's fleet
rather demoralized discipline for a while
and the greatest enthusiasm was exhibited
among officers and men. The infantry bat
talions engaged in sham battle drill to-day,
and tomorrow they will drill by brigades.
Open-order drill by brigades was the order
of the day by the cavalry troops. The mo-
notony of camp life was varied to-day by a
eourt-martial trial of Private Engleham,
Troop c, Third Cavalry, for desertion. En-
gleham enlisted from New York and stated
that Just before the troops were ordered
south from Fort Ethan Allen, VT. he went
without leave to visit his mother and she
persuaded him to remain at home. He is
only nineteen years of age, and on this ac-
count there may be a mitigation of his pun
ishment.
No order for the movement of troops has
been received. and the opinion was freely
expressed to-day by leading officers that
no other troops, aside from the Tenth Cav
airy and T~wenty-fifth Regiment (colored)
will be ordered away until after the in
veStment of Cuba.

A more ridiculous method of curing a

tration could not be we'll conceived. A man
who has overworked does not need more
work, but less work and more rest. The
man who has lost his appetite needs some
thing to restore it. The man whose nerves
are shattered needs something to tone and
strengthen them. Get the nerves right and
sound, and refreshing sleep will follow. A
man who sleeps we'll and eats we'll, and
digests and assimi1ates his food will not
remain i'll.

SPANS ATLANTIC FLEET.
1t Cannot Reach American Waters i'm
Less than Twelve Days.

Of the cruisers in the Spanish squadron
the new Cristobal Colon has a tonnage of
1000 and mounts two ten-inch, two-six-inch
and six 4.7-inch guns. She has a six-inch
armor belt extending below the water line
and her turrets are of six-inch steel. The
Infanta Maria Teresa, Vizcaya and Aim
rante Oquendo are sister ships of 1000 tons.
Their armament includes two e~leven-inch
and ten 5.5-inch gurs. Each has an armor
belt twelve inches in thickness and ten
inches of steel on the turrets. Of the three
torpedo boat destroyers, the Pluton is the
most formidably, being of 400 tons, while
the Furor and the Terror are of $50 tons.
This fleet of war vessels, with the eXcep-
ton of the Vizcaya and Almirante Oquendo,
augmented by several torpedo boats which
came later from Havana. arrived at the
Cape Verde islands from Cadiz, Spain, about
April /. The vessels have been anchored
in the harbor of Porto Grande, on the
northwest coast of the Island of st. Vim
cent. The harbor is good and is a coaling
station for British steamers. st. Vincent
IS so exposed TO the fury of the northwest
winds that not a tree will flourish. The
soil yields very little and the inhabitants
are supplied with grain and fruit from st.
Antao, another of the islands, eight miles
distant.
If the destination of the Spanish squad

day morning is Porto Rico, it probably will
arrive there in about ten or twelve days.
If, as some naval experts believe. the
squadron intends to make a naval demon
~stration at New York. it will reach there in
about two weeks. The distance from the
Cape Verde islands to Porto Rico is 1856
miles; from the Cape Verde islands to New
York, 2,919 miles. Naval experts are of the
opinion that the fleet will travel at a rate
that will save coal. probably making about
200 miles in every twenty-four hours. Swift
ocean scouts are to be used to keep the
Navy Department posted on the advance of
the Spanish squadron. The distance from
Porto Rico to Key West is 1000 miles. and
from Porto Rico TO Havana 1000 miles. If
Rear Admiral SIMPSONS fleet sails out to
engage the Spanish squadron off Porto Rico
1t can easily reach that island in two and a
half days. If SPANS ships continue on and
attempt to give battle to the fleet while Ii
is bl~ockading Havana, it canno arrive there
much within three weeks.
