Several Points in Manila Remain to
Be Conquered.
NEW YORK, May S.-The Heralds
Washington correspondent telegraphs:
In anticipation of the dispatch of
troops to Manila, the Commissary
General of Subsistence has directed
the preparation and shipment to San
Francisco of $4,000 rations, sufficient
to last 5000 ment four months.
The cruiser Charleston, it was def
nitely determined by the Naval War
Board today, will not start for the
Philippines before next week, so that
she will act as a convoy to the troops
and supply ships.
Acting Admiral Dewey, the conquer
or of Manila. still has considerable
work to perform before the destruction
of Spanish power in the Far East is
complete. Iloilo, capital of the Island
of Panay, which is fortified and gar
risoned by Spanish troops, remains to
be taken, and there are one or two
points in the Philippines which the
guns of his fleet will be called upon to
reduce. Confident, however, that
Spains power in the Philippines has
been broken by the victory of Manila,
the authorities have directed Rear Ad-
miral Dewey to remain with his squad
ron in the harbor, where he is now an
chored, until the troops which will be
sent to his assistance reach their des-
tination

NEW YORK, May 9.-The Washing

the following: Some desultory discus
sion occurred at the Cabinet meeting
today as TO the character of the gov
ernment that should be given to the
Philippines. The cabinet had been
called together by the President, in ac-
cordance with his usual custom, to
read over his message to Congress on
the battle of Manila Bay, and when
the reading was concluded the talk
turned to the establishment Of some
sort of government in the Islands. A
proposition was made to form a com
mission, consisting of Rear Admiral
Dewey, Consul Wildman at Hongkong
and Consul Williams, formerly at Ma
Mia, who would administer a govern
ment of the Islands, but it was not
adopted.
