sTo VICTORY OR TO HE'LL"
Dewey's Sailors Knew What Was
Ahead of Them

Indianapolis, May IA. H. Buck
stahlner of this city has received a
letter from his brother-in-law, William
B. Orner, on board the cruiser Bal
timore, now at Manila The letter
was written at Yokohama April IL to
April 10, and it indicates that the sail
ors knew pretty well where they were
going and the kind of work that was
cut out for them.
Part of the letter was as follows:
I'VE will leave the latter part of
the week for Hong Kong. There we
join the rest of the fleet, and in the
event of war will proceed from there
to Manila. The other ships there wait
ing for us are the Olympia, Concord,
Petrol, Boston and Raleigh, and with
this ship added will make a hard crowd
to whip. Spain has but two ships of
any consequence there. They are of
about the type of this one and then
she has four or five frigates of the old
style.
They have an excellent fort just
army on the island, but 1 think we
will have very small job Of ii. Yet
we might have more trouble than we
anticipate in taking the place At any
rate, you can expect a good account
of US. We have an excellent ship and
a captain who would rather fight than
eat, and we all expect to go to vic
tory or he'll in short order when the
ball is opened. We are taking rs tons
OF ammunition to the other ships at
the station, and, as all the world knows
of it, we will have the ship ready for
action all the way over"

STRATEGY BOARD CRITICISED
INEXPERIENCED MEN DIRECT
OUR NAVAL MOVEMENTS.
Admiral Belknap Thinks 1t Absurd
That They Should Direct Men Like
Dewey-Increased Navy Urged.

Boston, May AT the banquet Of
Admiral Belknap said the brillianey Of
Commodore Dewey's victory filled him
with gladness, and he declared that the
Spanish navy would be. or should be,
the objective point of the United States
navy, and the destruction of that navy
the sternest aim of our navy.
He deprecated the unwillingness OF
congress in times of peace TO make
any appropriations for the navy. He
highly praised Commodore Dewey, and
said that if the official story of his do
ings at Manila confirms the reports of
his victory there, it will show that
Farragut'S mantle of resolution and
bravery has fallen upon worthy and
intrepid successor.
Continuing, he said: I'VE are told
that he has quick temper; that he
resents interference with his concep-
ton of duty and his prerogatives as
commanding officer; but what man OF
affairs who amounts to anything has
not a temper and mind of his own?
There is, as you know, naval strategy
board in Washington to direct move
mentS at this juncture. Some of its
members never had a minutes expert
ence in war. Heaven save the mark!
How could they plan the movements
for the guidance of old officers who
are supposed to know their business in
handling and fighting ships and fleets
without outside advice? But it is said
that Captain Mahan has been ordered
home to take a seat on the strategy
board. Fancy Dewey, broad. able and
dashing, splendid seaman and brilliant
commander, who has won one of the
most unique. complete and signal naval
battles of the century, taking advice
on professional lines from mere writer
of books like Mahan. It is merely alb
surd. Mahan is a forceful and accom-
plished writer, but there is no Farra-
gut or Dewey sea genius in his make
up.
Now. in my judgment the naval
strategy of the war is the hunting
down and destruction of the Spanish
fleet. That accomplished the war
should soon come to an end
In the course of his remarks. Admiral
Belknap pointed out the probability I
that the German emperor. when he has
a new feet built, would want to meas I
ure swords with the American republic, /
inasmuch as the commercial instinct Of |
the German people made it likely, and I
said the United States should be ready /
to meet him.
Admiral Kimberly attributed the vic |
tory at Manila to the best of Judgment, I
the best of pluck and the most thor I
ough seamanship. He made plea for |
an increased navy.

AMAZING MORTALITY.
such One-sided Engagement Was
Never Before Known.


Washington, May THE officials Of
the navy department as well as all
army officers are simply amazed at the
extent Of the mortality inflicted upon
the Spanish by Admiral Dewey, for
from the moment when Secretary Long
sent ms dispatch of congratulation the
commodore became an admiral.
Of1cers scratched their heads in vain
to think of any genuine hostile en-
gagement between armed forces that
had been so one-sided in its results as
the battle of Manila and the subse-
quent engagements. Never before, save
where some terrible accident such as
the blowing up of a ship had occurred,
was there any record of such a result.
The opinion was expressed by trate-
Sists that with superb judgment Dew
ey absolutely smothered the fire OF the
Spanish batteries and ships under the
weight of his metal before they had op-
portunity to make any effective re-
Spouse. AS for the forts, it is likely
that he took up his position at a dis
lance that placed his ships beyond the
range of the old fashioned ordnance
that formed nine-tenths or more of the
defensive power of the works and
shelled them into silence, succeeding
in escaping hits meantime from the
few pieces of modern ordnance that
could be trained upon him. OF course
this opinion is speculative, but it rep
resents the views of some of the ablest
strategists in the navy department.
IMPORTANCE OF CAvITE.
Admiral Dewey speaks of the Span
ish sick and wounded in hospital with
in our lines" There can be but one in
depreciation placed upon this, namely,
that the admiral has occupied Cavite,
a considerable town about seven miles
toward the mouth of the bay from Ma
Mia. He has thus secured a base for
the naval feet which will serve
through the remainder of the war at
least. Cavite, it is said, outside of the
Notifications, possessed already many
of the essentials Of a naval station,
among them marine railway capable
of lifting out of the water vessels up
to 1000 tons displacement, and hence
of great service in the repairing and
cleaning the smaller vessels Of the
American fleet

FOR DEWEY'S RELIEF.
Five Thousand Regulars and Western
Volunteers Will Go.

Washington, May THE datailS fol
the proposed military expedition to the
Philippines have been advanced ma
terially as a result of conferences to-
day between Secretary Alger. General
Miles and other officers of the army
This expedition, which will carry in All
about 5000 men, will start from San
Francisco as soon as arrangements can
be perfected. 1t is not yet finally de-
termined whether all the troops will GO
at once, although this is not thought to
be likely, nor has the exact compost
ton been fully decided upon.
The statement was made this after
neon that in addition to the regular sol
diers the quotas Of the national guards
from the states of California, Idaho,
Oregon and Washington will, in all
probability, be detailed to go, and an
order for their rendezvous at San
Francisco is expected very soon. Sena-
tor Shoup's company of rifiemen, which
was to join one of the three specially
authorized regiments OF mounted men,
is mentioned as likely to be sent.
Senator ShouD was the first in the
field with q bid for his people for the
Philippine campaign. The war depart
ment promised to take one of the in
fantry companies from Idaho. Other
troops will be drawn from Washington
and California AS for the regular
of cavalry, four companies If the Four
teenth infantry and a regiment of artil-
lery readily accessible in San Fran
cisco.
General Miles believes it would be adj
visable to have cavalry troops accom-
pany the infantry and artillery, for the
reason that they would be extremely
valuable for patrol duty. Their num-
Der, however, necessarily would be
Cd hoo Of
of room required for the transpcrta-
ton of horses. For transportation pur-
poses the department officials say there
is no lack of available vessels on the
coast. 1t is said at the department
that commander for the troops to go
to the Philippines has not yet been de-
cided upon.
Brigadier General Merriam is in COM
mand of the department of California
and the Columbia, and he may be Sc
lected, though there are other officers
available for the command, which is
eagerly sought.
A reticence in making public the
plans of the expedition is noticeable
among the officials and heads of the
bureaus who will be called upon to as
sist in furnishing supplies, and who
have not yet even been advised of the
purpose.
MAY LEAVE SATURDAY.
San Francisco, May 1T is believed
here that the expedition to relieve Com
modore Dewey will leave this city by
a week from today.
The department has been ordered to
prepare both the Australia and the City
IF Pekin to receive troops, and as the
two ships can only carry between them |
about $500 men, other vessels will be /

Army of Occupation Made Up From
Western States.

Chicago, May IA special from
Washington says that orders have been
issued by General Miles, saying that
5000 troops, made up of the regiments
of regulars from San Francisco, the
volunteer regiments from Idaho, Wash
ington and California, in command Of
Brigadier General w. T. Anderson, will
be conveyed to the Philippine Islands by
May Is.
Secretary Alger has had another con-
ference with the president regarding
troops to be sent to Dewey from San
Francisco. and hurry orders will be is
sued Immediately in the hope of start
ing them prior to May 10.
The total army of occupation of the
Philippines will be 10000 men. The first
to go will be 1000, to be followed with
in five days by 5000 more. Later
enough additional troops will be sent
to make the aggregate 10000. The first
detachments will be from the Pacific
states, and will De composed of regu-
lars. The second will be largely made
up from the Pacific volunteers, and the
last will be regulars and volunteers
from all the mountain states to the
west of Denver.

/ Then the Americans retired for break
/ fast and a council of war;
The Spanish ships were already in a
/ desperate condition. The Reina Chris
tina was riddled and one of her steam
J pipes had burst. Tine Castillo was also
on fire and both We're burned to the
waters edge. The Don Antonio de I'll
loa made a magnificent show of des-
perate bravery. With her colors nailed
! to her mast, she sank with all hands.
Her hull was riddled and her upper
! deck swept clean, but the guns on the
/ lower deck We're still firing defiantly
! as the vessel sank beneath the water.
| A torpedo boat tried to creep along the
shore, around the offing, and attack the
nom ombatants Zeafiro, NanShan and
! McCulloch. but was driven ashore and
shot into bits.
/ The Mindanao was run onto the beach
and the other small craft retired behind
the mole. The fight started at $50, was
! adjourned at $3.50 and resumed about
noon. The finishing touches were given
/ to Cavite by the Petrol and Concord.
The Raleigh grounded twice ia shallow
water during the engagement.
CAvITE SURRENDERED.
Cavite is in utter ruin and has sur
| rendered. The gunboats have been
scuttled and the arsenal was on fire
and exploded, causing great mortality.
The commodore Of the fleet on board
the Reina Christina was wounded, and
her captain, lieutenant, chaplain and
the midshipman were killed by a shell
striking the bridge. Eighty of her
crew were killed and 60 were wounded
On the Castillo 100 were killed and 60
were wounded.
LOST A THOUSAND.
The Spanish losses aggregate more than
a thousand. There were no casualties
among the Americans except that six of
the Baltimore men were slightly wound
ed by one OF the enemy's shells striking
another shell lying on the deck and ex-
ploding it. There were only three shot
holes in her upper works, five in the up
per works of the Olympia and whale
boat smashed on the Raleigh. No other
damage was done anywhere. The dis
parity between the injury inflicted on the
Spanish fleet and that sustained by the
Americans is due to the superior guns of
the latter and the superior marzsman-
ship at long range
The Manila Esplanade Krupp ten-inch
guns were fired continuously, but the
Americans avoided replying and the bat
terry showed a. white flag afterwards.
The terms of capitulation are still I'M
settled. Commodore Dewey fears rioting
by the rebels if he attempts q lombard
ment. The forts at the entrance to the
bar capitulated and were dismantled on
Wednesday. The Americans cut the
cable, but the Spaniards refused to per-
NIT them to use it pending the surrender
of the city and it is, therefore, not known
what IS transpiring on shore.

ADVICE FROM ENGLAND.
Should Hold the Islands With Army
of Negroes.

London, May THE Spectator, in an
article today. urges America to keep the
Philippine islands. to raise colored army
of 10000 men land with this effective
sepoy army, hold the Philippine islands.
Hawaii and Porto Rico. paying the army
of occupation out of the local revenues. -
Continuing. the Spectator says: With
such garrison these islands would be
as safe as a drawing room and as full
of business as Broadway or the Strand"
Referring to the outcome of the war.
the Spectator remarks: 1.-The Americans
will emerge from the war with new ideas
and larger ambitions. They will have de-
feated & Second-claSs European state and
will feel acutely. that as matters stand,
they would have been defea ted by n first
class one. They could not have fought
France. to say nothing of Great Britain,
without suffering grave defeats at sea
and enormous losses on land. That Is
not the position which suits American
temper and Washington viii set ieself
about to construct a first-class iron fleet.
That once built, the desire for position
in the world equal to their position among
nations will compel them to abandon the
idea of non-interventtion and change the
Monroe doctrine into direct and effec-
tive pTotectorate of the two Americas.
I'VE hope the Americans will keep the
Philippines, and that they can keep them
there is no doubt whatever. Europe. to
put the truth in its most brutal form
cannot attack them without our permits
