nounrcd today on the authority of Il

various regiments to open independent
Offices for the purpose OF recruiting their
own commands.

the report of Commodore Dewey had
reached Hong Kong in charge Of Lieut..

cary hour.
The Navy Department was besieged
with applicants for information. Lieut..

despatch received was the word "Nlc-

Roosevelt and the other officers who had
been notified Of the McCulloch's arrival.

who had been informed that the report
was probably on its way, was awaiting
its arrival with unc0ncealed interest.

for a speedy translation of the report
from Commodore Dewey as soon as it ar
rived.

of the cablegram as far as received. This
only whetted the interest of the crowd

peared with a copy OF the trans ated

rush toward him, but silence prevailed
