ly tells the sentiments it inspired.
Among them and in all official quar-
tiers it was accepted not only as a
glorious victory on the natal day of

News Of n Revolt May Come Mt Any
Time.

Men of the highest prominence look for
news at any minute that a revolt has brok-
en- out in Spain. If such news is not receiv-
ed the greatest surprise will be occasioned
1t is a fact that the complete destruction
of the fine ships of Cervera will arouse the
Spanish naticn to the point of ferocity, and
that bloodshed will result. The present
regime is almost sure to be deposed, and
the officials will be lucky to escape with
their heads.

Inspiring, glorious news thrilled
every avenue OF official life and stir
red every heart in the national cap
ital today, making it, indeed, glori-
Gus Fourth of July. Word came
from Shafter, from Sampson and
from Dewey, telling of successes al
ready achieved, and those near at
hand. That from Sampson telling
of the destruction OF Cervera's entire
fleet was received on every hand
with JOY.
In the Senate Mr.. Turpie, who
was reading the Declaration of In
dependence, was interrupted by Mr..
FRYE (Me), who announced that he
had what he considered exceptional
" good news, and asked that the
clerk be directed to read the Asso-
ciated Press dispatch conveying Ad-
miral SIMPSONS cablegram, telling
OF the capture of the Spanish fleet
Every senator and all the occupants
OF the galleries joined in applause,
which was prolonged. The chair re-
Trained for once from any effort to
check a demonstration of approval
in the Senate chamber.
Several of Skaters dispatches
were made public. One of them stated
that he had the enemy surrounded on
the north and east. Another the
statement:
Il feel that | am master OF the stu
alton and can hold the enemy for
any length OF time"
In still another General Shafter
said his demand for the surrender OF
Santiago was still being considered
by the Spanish authorities.
The news from Dewey was equally
stirring in character. His official
dispatch bore the Hong Kong date
OF July 4, although it came from Ca
vite July I. 1t told not only of the
arrival OF the first expedition, but OF
the capture of Guam, Ladrone Is
lands, with its garrison OF six officers
and fifty-four men, and the surrender
OF the gunboat Leyte, with fifty-two
officers and ninety-four men.
The Widest Enthusiasm.
The widest and most indescrib-
able enthusiasm greeted Admiral
SIMPSONS dispatch at the Navy De
partment announcing the complete
humiliation of Admiral Cervera's
fleet, and the surrender of the adj
miral himself with 1900 Spanish
prisoners.
Cheer after cheer rang through
the corridors of the State, War and
Navy buildings as the inspiring
words were read. A surging mas:
OF newspaper correspondents strug-
gled about the bulletin boards anG
hundreds of officials and clerk:
crowded up to hear the stirring news
First the hurrahs started in the Nav,
Department, but as word passed
along the cry was taken up, unit
every hall and corridor echoed witt
the cheers of victory Soon the new.
spread outside and ran to the Fourth
of July crowd, until the whole ma
