Several OF Admiral sampson's Vessels
May Go South to Accompany
Her to Key West.

WASHINGTON, May s. = Admiral
Sampson, SO far as the navy depart.
ment knows, is steadily maintaining
the blockade of the Cuban coast, and
this is not likely to be abandoned for
the present, though two or three of his
ships may be sent away temporarily to
meet the Oregon on her way to Cuba
from Rio Janeiro. While the officials
Of the navy department naturally feel
warm interest in this race of the
magnificent battleship around the con.
tinent they profess to feel little anxiety
as to the outcome, Notwithstanding
the current talk of an effort
upon the part of the Spanish
flying squadron to cut off the Oregon.
The vessel sailed from Rio on a course
known only to the captain and the
chances Of being overtaken on the high
seas are very small. Even should the
Spanish vessels fall in with her it is by
no means certain, Notwithstanding
their number. that she would be de-
feated by the combined Spanish force
as her magnificent armor and ordnance
are superior in every respect, size and
quality, to those of the Spanish ships.

Five Hundred Applications at Tampa in
One Day.
TAMPA, Fla, May 5.-The enlistment
Of Cubans for the regiments which are
being formed here is assuming large
proportions. Tuesday there were over
500 applications for service, most of
which will be accepted, and work in
several Of the big tobacco factories was
practically at standstill. Besides the
native Cubans many 5;oung Americans
are enlisting for service under Gomez.
Two companies of Cubans already
formed here with those that arrived
from other points have gone into camp
in West Tampa and are being rapidly
armed and uniformed. Their number
was swelled during the day by the ar.
rival on the Mascotte OF 1870 Cubans
who had enlisted at Key West and who
came here for organization and armu-
ment. Later in the day 40 Cubans. all
armed with machetes and wearing
natty uniforms. arrived from jackson.

PUBLIC OUTBREAK Is FEARED

LONDON, May 5. According to spe-
cial dispatch from Madrid the chamber
assembled amid scenes of wild excite.
ment unparalleled during the last 20
years. There were great crowds pres.
ent long before the deputies came to.
gether and the galleries and lobbies
were thronged. Intense excitement
prevailed, and so fearful were the au.
thorities OF a public outbreak OF
violence that the full police strength OF
the city was put under requisition and
the troops were kept in barracks under
arms. Scandalous incidents occurred
during and after Senor Sagasta' s
speech-scenes that filed the moderate
members with shame. the Republicans
and Carlists hurting insulting and
abominable epithets.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-China issued

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The cabinet

q report from Commodore Dewey and
then to send him the number of troops

Commodore Dewey's report, which is
expected tomorrow, has been received.
For this purpose Pacific slope troops
will be used, and it is expected that at

TAMPA, Fla. May 5.-It is now al.
most certain that Brigadier General
Wade will have active command of the
United States troops in the field in
Cuba. Both Generals Wade and
Shafter will, it is said, accompany the
expedition when it sails, but the latter,
although the ranking general, will not
direct the movements Of the troops in
the field. Arrangements for the EN-.
barkation Of the troops are being
pushed with the utmost vigor. The
Florida and Olivette are being put in
shape for the reception Of the soldiers,
and the Mascotte, which came in dur.
ing the day. will be taken in hand and
prepared for service as transport.
Nearly every regiment in camp had q
rigid inspection during the day and in.
struction was given to have every thing
in shape for breaking camp on short no.
tice.
It is barely possible that the United
States forces will be actually en- route
fore Cuba befor the first of next week.
But four of the necessary transports
are as yet on hand and it will probably
be Sunday before all of the boats are
here and have received their coal and
other supplies.

with the queen regent. The country
en- masse is opposed to the idea Of a re-
public. The people prefer Don Carlos
or anything to such change. They
had enough Of the republic in 1878.
The indignation which is felt at pres
ent is not against the present dynasty,
but against the government and the
politicians In general.
If a military Dictatorship should
come it would most probably be under
the queen regent and possibly General
Campos. Even General Polavieja has
more chance than General Weyler.

Bayamo, or San Salvador, is situated
about 30 miles northwest of the City Of

chants and residents of Bayamo, it ap.
pears, were in great fear Of plunder and
massacre, but General Garcia issued q
proclamation, declaring that the prop.
erty of Spaniards und their civil rights
would be respected. The general also
personally assured the leading Span.

fectly safe in remaining in Bayamo,
