The Thanks Of Congress rendered to
Dewey
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The President
today sent the following message to Com
gress:
To the Congress of the United States:
The resolution of Congress, passed May 9,
1898, rendering to Commodore George
Dewey, United States navy, commander
in-chief of the United States naval forces
on the Asiatic station, the thanks Of Con-

sticking up just inside of Moro Castle
They looked like Spanish warships and
the Commander Of the Wasp determined
to investigate.
Under full speed the Wasp entered the
harbor and went within two miles of the
city wharves. Here it was proved that
the conjecture had been correct, for sure
enough the topmasts belonged to three
Spanish cruisers.
The Wasps officers are sure the cruisers
are part of Cerveras fleet.
Why did they not fire at the little Am

Department, have manifested decided
opposition to filling up the existing regi-
ments, preferring to recruit entirely new
organizations and in some of these cases
1t is believed likely the department may
yield, although no one will make an off,
cial statement to that effect. There is a
disposition on the part of the War De-
partment to avoid any unseemly wrangle
over the matter but instead to yield point
for the sake Of appearances. Ample au-
thority, 1t is said, exists under the Volun-
teer Act for the War Department to pro-
coed on it's own responsibility with the
work of recruiting without any call on the
Governors to assist in that work.

nti-English Feeling
WORSE THAN ALASKA
South Sea Prospectors Suffer Horrible
Experiences

Experiences
APTA, Samoa, May IA, via San Fran
cisco, June 1.-The schooner Sophie Suther-
land, which left San Francisco in 1887 with
party of prospectors on board to search
for gold in the South Seas, reached here
on May 18th, with the crew in horrible
condition. The Sutherland, under the guild
ance of a man named Sorenson, took party
of fifteen men, four of whom were sailors,
who prospected among the Solomon Islands
for gold. After cruising around for several
months without success, all of the party
were attacked by fever and the captain
decided to leave for San Francisco. On
March 10Th last, the vessel left Florida
Island with all but three on board, unable
to move. Three days later there was but
one man able to assist in navigating the
craft. The captain then headed for Apia,
the nearest point, to obtain medical treat
ment, but to add to the trouble scurvy
broke out and when within sight Of Samoa
there were only two men, the captain and
another, able to work The ship for three
weeks was within seventy miles Of Apia,
but did not reach port until May 18th on
account of head winds. During these three
weeks, four of those on board, Kohn, Mich
olson, Goldsmith and Dewitt, died and
were buried at sea. For the last few days,
tn whole working of the vessel devolved
upon the captain, who was up from eighteen
to twenty-five hours each day. All those
who reached Apia are1 Mclean, Higgins,
Lampe, Berge, Headburg and Olsen. There
was an abundance of food on board the
Sutherland but no one was able to cook it.
The vessel will remain here until the crew
| has recovered, when she will be taken to
San Francisco. Four men Of the party,
Greenwood, Gingg, Smadeke and Cunath,
remained at Florida Island to prospect.
Sorenson, who it seems was well known in
the South Seas, was forced to leave the
island before the Sutherland sailed.

Rico would promptly follow. The orders
which were telegraphed to General Shat
ter last Sunday have been divulged by the
president to no one except Secretaries Al

officials would abuse the confidence re-
posed in them. 1t is not necessary that
government officials should be informed of
such affairs. as they are charged with
sending supplies to Tampa. when their ju-
risdlction Is brought to an end.
1t is known that the pioneer force, includ-
ing the Siege gun trains, the engineer de-
tachment and a good-sized force of cavalry
and artillery could have passed Key West
by this time without any one ashore hav-
ing been the wiser. The guns and engineer
implements have been loaded on the trans
ports for several weeks and the men to
handle them have not been near the gen.
eral camp. Several infantry and thirty
transports were ready for service last
Saturday, and If these vessels have not
slipped away 1t is difficult to explain why
they were loaded so long ago. The Panther,
with nearly 500 marines aboard, under
Lieutenant Colonel Huntington, has been

to prevent any aggressive movement from
the little body Of Spaniards hemmed in at
Santiago City. 1t is expected that the first
news of the invading army will not come
from Tampa or any other American port,
but from Santiago itself.
The army, as we'll as the navy, has sud-
denly lost interest in Havana and Philip
pine affairs, and even the alleged move
ments Of the Cadiz fleet have ceased to
cause any apprehension. Interest at this
time is conferred exclusively in the Santiago
campaign, and confidence is general that on
its prompt and successful conclusions de-
ponds more than anything else the future
course and limitation of the war.

TORPEDO BOAT DANGER
FULLY APPRECIATED By MEN
OFF SANTIAGO
Attempted ATTACK BY NIGHT
Is Discovered in Time to Prevent Any
Damage! to the Ships, Of schlsy's
Squadron


Associated E1CSS 0peCldA WAAo
NEW YORK, June IA dispatch to the
World from Port Antonio, Jamaica, says'
The first engagement between Commo-
dore Schley's squadron and the spanish
ships of Cervera took place Sunday night
about midnight. Two torpedo boats made
a desperate effort to destroy the American
ships. They were stopped In the nick OF
time owing to the vigilance or the mem
under Captain Phillips of the Texas. The
torpedo boats had cleared the harbor and
were creeping along in the shadow OF the
Castle MORO and the mountain at the en-
trance of the harbor. They had Travelled
two miles to the westward when the OFFICER
of the deck on the Texas sighted then
through his night glasses. Two OK tho
searchlights of the Texas were turned on
them and the next instant the men VINO
had been sleeping at the loaded guns were
aroused and at work.
The flashing Of the lights told the Span-
iards that they were discovered, and they
made q quick rush with all speed on to-
ward the Brooklyn and the Texas.
Before their bows had swung around the
crews of the port batteries of the Texas
were pumping steel at them. The rapid
fire guns were used. The din of the guns
of the Texas alarmed the whole fleet. The
machine guns of the Brooklyn were at work
a few seconds after the Texas started in.
The other ships were lying further of
Shore The call to general quarters was
sounded on each of them in the belief that
all of Cervera's fleet was coming out In a
desperate effort to escape.
Searchlights were played on the waters
by all of the ships. The Texas and Brook
lyn poured such furious shower of small
shells at the torpedo boats that the latter
were forced to turn about and seek safety
in the harbor. What damage they sus-
tanned is unknown.
The torpedo boats took shelter under the
forts and no attempt to pursue them was
made
1t Is thought that neither of them was
struck, as they retreated quickly and they
made poor targets in the uncertain light.
The Spaniards did not discharge torpedoes.
though they got within 500 yards Of the
Texas.
| The greatest vigilance is maintained at
night on the American fleet to prevent just
such attacks as these.
| Schley's ships have made examinations
of the batteries and the channel revealing
much stronger guns, and mines than were
supposed to exist
| Four rows of mines have been laid across
the narrow entrance of the harbor.
| Early this morning the Marblehead ven-
tured within two miles of the harbor and
positively recognized the Cristobal Colon
and two cruisers of the Vizcaya type and
the dismantled cruiser Reina Mercedes,
upon which guns have been mounted maxi

A Bad Outlook


MADRID, June /, p.m.-There was a
long procession at the bank during the day.
All classes of people were represented and
many women were in line waiting their
turn to change notes into silver fearing the
notes would soon be subjected to a dis
count.
If the run continues there Is danger Of
the banks stock of silver becoming ex-
hausted. which would compel the govern
ment to resort to a forced currency, issu-
ling notes of small denomination. 1t Is ex-
pected, however, that the panic will SUBJ
side, leaving the bank margin of silver.
The financial outlook of Spain is rather
dark. The government has entrusted the
Bank of Spain with the negotiations for a
loan of one billion pesetas at four per cent,
which sum is to be raised as soon as re-
quired The bank will endeavor to raise the
loan at home and abroad.
An Internal Loan
LONDON, June IA special dispatch
from Madrid says a decree has been pub

loan Of one billion pesetas at four per cent.
Spanish Politics
NEW YORK. June IA dispatch to the
World says:
On leaving Madrid to resume his am
bassadorial duties, Senior Castillo was told
by the queen, Senior Sagasta and Duke AL
modovar that in the present state of pub
lie opinion, no overtures by the European
powers or by the United States could be
entertained If they implied the loss of the
territory in the West Indies or of the Phil
ippines.
Only later, in the event of crushing re-
verses, particularly a defeat, would media
ton from the powers be accepted, If d.
rect understanding for an honorable peace
with the United States is impossible. The
apprehension Of an interior revolution is
the chief consideration which deters
Spain's rulers from listening to foreign
powers and financiers.
| The queen has informed Sagasta that
If the war lasts long the court will not go
| to San Sebastian as usual this summer,
but only for few weeks, on account of the
health of the king, to Rio Pho near La
Granja, an ancient summer resort of the
Bourbons.
| The government has decided to pay the
coupon debts of Spain, Cuba and the Phil
ippines in pesetas, silver or notes. The
supply of gold is exhausted.
