WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE presi-
dent last night, after consultation with
personal friends and army and navy
advisers, came to the conclusion that
the Spanish fleet would have to be at
tackled off the Spanish coast, where, liz
the opinion of all experts, it intends to-
remass.
The program is, first the invasion OF
Cuba and the seizure of Porto Rico.
Second. the seizure Of the Canary isl
ands.
Third, an advance against the Span
ish coast.
The navy department is not afraid to-
meet the issue and is confident OF
American success in such an engage
ment. Its highest officials concede the
practical equality of the fleets in point
of number and metal throwing strength
but declare that superior gunnery and
seamanship on the part of our naval
officers will win the day.
Admiral Sampson to Bombard San JUAN.
copyrighted 1893 by New York Journal.)
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The navy
department sent cipher order to Key
West last evening at o'clock with in
structions to have it sent to Admiral
Sampson, wherever he might be.
The order conveyed the inform alton
that the Spanish squadron, which had
sailed from the Cape Verde islands on
April April II had returned to Cadiz
and ordered Admiral Sampson to keep.
Spanish vessels, known to be on the.
Atlantic and seize Porto Rico.
This means that Admiral Sampson
will sail at r.lte FOR (, ~ ;ian de Puer y
Rico, demand It's su.Ie.lIer, and it it
refuses start at once on u reduction OF
it's Notifications
AS soon as this is done and the town
surrenders, which it must do when the.
Notifications are destroyed troops will
be sent to the island with the COM
manding officer delegated as the mill
tary governor. The town Of San Juan
will be refortiied and heavy guns will
be mounted. Several warships will be
kept in the neighborhood.
After the seizure Of Porto Rico the
bulk of Admiral SIMPSONS fleet will
return to Cuban waters and aid in the
transportation and conveying of the
army of invasion.
In all likelihood the work Of occupa
, ton of Porto Rico and invading Cuba
will be carried on at the same time.
, After Cuba and Porto Rico are well
: in hand, the fleet will cross the Allan.
tic and take the Canaries as a base Of
supplies and haven of refuge. This
f would precede the marrying of the

Preparing to Embark Troops.
The war department is preparing for
the invasion of Cuba with large army.
Within q few days strong force will
be landed at point east Of Matanzas,
probably at Mariel, and junction with
Gomez will be effected. There are at
Tampa $4,000 troops. These consist of
10000 infantry, 5000 cavalry and about
~ batteries of artillery. Besides these,
there are nearly 1900 United States
marines. Supplies for 10000 troops for
60 days have already been delivered at
Tampa and marching supplies, includ-
ing hard tack in lieu of bread have been
sent to Tampa, sufficient to feed 5000
troops for 80 days.
Dewey'S Great Victory.
Detailed reports of the late naval en-
gagement at Manila continue to come
in from various sources. While differ
ing somewhat in minor points, they all
agree in the essential feature. that
Dewey annihilatcd the Spanish fleet.
The overwhelming victory of the Amer
lean feet excites the greatest admira-
ton in all quarters, except
among Spanish sympathizers. But six
Americans We're wounded and these but
slightly, while Dewey's fleet escaped
with a few scratches. Some estimate
the Spanish loss as high 1900, but
official figures by the governor general
Of Manila place it at 400 killed and 600
wounded. All is now quiet at Manila
awaiting the arrival of the dispatch
boat McCulloch with orders for Dewey.
Commodore Dewey has made the
recommendation to the government at
Washington that the city of Manila be
called upon to surrender; also that a
provisional government, of which he
himself shall be member, be appointed
to preserve order until final settle
ment shall be effected with Spain
Dewey has absolute control of the water
front and $4,000 natives we'll armed
and with plenty of ammunition hold
the hills in the rear Of the city. The
dispatch boat McCulloch sailed Sun
day from Hong Kong to return II
Manila, bearing dispatches from Wash
ington to Dewey.

by Colonel Crane When ne

Austin. Texas June 2S.-Colonel Wynne
letter of withdrawal from the guberna-
torial race, which appeared in TO-DAY
papers, has caused much unfavoraoie COM
ment here. II was understood that ne was
In something OF bad hunor over the re-
suit of the primaries held during the past
two weeks, but he had SO often repeateu
on the stump that his faith In the people
was all-abidlng and that he was ever ready
to bow to the decision of majority OF
his party that something better than a
roar" was expected from him. Compare
sons of the language In which he announces
his determination to quit the race are being
freely made with that used by Attorney
General Crane for similar purpose, much
to the latters advantage. Crane had some
thing to complain of, sure enough, but not
one i'll tempered word fell from his pen
when he made known his intention to get
out OF the way. On the other hand, Wynne
who was a party to the combination which
downed the attorney general, can not con-
ceal his disappointment at having been
handed the worst end of the deal. Having
attempted a little practical politics on
his own account without success he ENDS
himself unable to gracefully take his medi-
cine and retires posing as the victim of
practical politicians.
Colonel Wynne's withdrawal practically
closes the most remarkable campaign for a
gubernatorlal nomination ever held in this
STATE. Begun with four candidates in the
field one of whom was at first considered
u sure winner it winds UP with but one
man before the people. he being the only
one Of the four who did not take the stump,
having remained out OF the State during
the greater part of the canvass. And,
furthermore this lucky mans prospects of
obtaining an overwhelming victory at the
polls are of the brightest for the opposi-
ton to the democratic party in the State is

could possibly be without the slightest
hope of being able to make respectable

IN BAD TASTE.
An Original Crane Man Criticises Mr.
Mynne's Insinuatlons.


To the Editor OF The Post.
In his letter Of withdrawal Colonel
Wynne intlmates that the sayers people
defeated him in Brown, Limestone, Robert
son and Milan counties by methods that
were questionable, to say the least. The
same methods that were used in these
counties to encompass the defeat of the
Fort Worth candidate were used by the
Sayers men in Grayson TO defeat Mr.. Crane
and carry the county for Wynne. At that
time, which was prior TO the withdrawal of
Mr. Crane from the race, the methods used
by the Sayers workers met with the full
approval of Colonel Wynne, and Of all men
colonel Nynne should now be the last to
question these methods and 1t comes In eX-
ceedingly bad grace from him to say aught
against the Sayers people. whose fine
work made him, for moment a guber-
Material possibility. As an original Crane
man, | think Colonel Wynne's roar" is
in very bad form and I'm also little sur
prlsed that he should object so strenuously
to taking dose of that very MEDICINE he
was so free to administer to otnersson., d.
few short weeks ago. Jeff McIemore
